THE MEMBERS WANT A RAISE Stimulated therto, probably by the demand of the judges for higher sal- aries, members of Parliament are now advancing claims for an increase of salary, or indemnity. it is a new il- lustration of the power of example. Judges should undoubtedly be higher paid. Many of them give nip lucra- tive positions at the Bar and make heavy financial sacrifices, being some- what compensated by prestige and. social influence. Without in any way suggesting that any of our judges are venal, there will be no disputing the. contention that judges should be paid well enoughto place them above the reach of temptation. From many points of view there can not be the same objection to increasing the sal- aries of.,judges as there is to adding to the remuneration of members of Parliament. Members of Parliament receive a sessional indemnity of four thousand' dollars. In addition, they travel free. on alPCanadian railways, as a matter of right not of favor, and have the franking privileges of the nails giv- ing them free postage, a most valu- able consideration. In return for these valuable items in money or kind the members of the House of Com- mons are in attendance at Ottawa for three or four months of the. year. That is to say, each member receives re- muneration for his attendance at Ot- tawa amounting to about 'tWQ hund- red and fifty dollars per week, or one thousand dollars per month, this in. addition to free travelling and postage facilities. What else they get only Heaven and themselves know. Not n bad remuneration as thi gs go these expensive days. The real thing to be faced in this connection is this, who would have to pay this increased remuneration of members of Parliament? ' Strictly speaking, it would come out of the general revenues of the country. But actually it would come out of the pockets of the common; ordinary peo- ple the farmers, the n erchants, the working people' and the professional classes. The cost of it 'to the' big -corporations and industrial compan- ies would be infinitesimal and never felt by those bodies who, aftei"all re- ceive many quids pro cluo from Par- liament and members of the House of Commons. It all peters down to this basic fact, that taxation ultimate- ly rests on the backs of the coinmbn people of whom, said Abraham Lin- coln, "the good Lord must be fond because He made so many of them: Statesmen and poloticians must al-. so be very fond of the common peo- ple, the ordinary, average, everybody people, because there are so many of them to tax, As most of us are in receipt of incomes compared with which one thousand dollars per month sounds like Rockerfelierisnt, few of us will approve paying the members: more, Let them cut down their long sessions. "!'ire methods of Parliament' are •those of a century or more ago. "Cut she cackle and come to the hor- ses." One month's time would serve all the purposes of Parliament and the government of the day .could then get on with the business of adminis- tering the country. Our representa- tive have the ,natter all in their own hands, Shorten the time of Parlia- mentary sessions, cut the term in two and that will be equivalent to doubling the sessional indemnity. But spare us, gentlemen, spare us.' We also have our fatnilies to maintain.
