COMPLAINT IS GENERAL Hundreds of Ministers In England Do Not Receive) SI 000 Year and Are) Forced to Depend on nelp of Parishioners. LONDON. Aug. L-SpecIal. "It Is a painful truth that the clergy ars assigned a starvation wsge. as low as that of ths casual laborer." saya the Bishop of Manchester, who Is leading a campaign for better pay for parsons. Ths question brings up an old prob lem for English parlahes, where the endowments attached to churches ars Insufficient and voluntary presents have to be relied on by the minister and his family to keep their head above water financially. That method has gone so far that tha Bishop of Manchester adds: "I have lived long enough to see pauper clergy bring up pauper families, enough none of them ever cams within reach of the poor law; men and women who were al ways on tha lookout for doles, and were forced to expect them." There are hundreds, of ministers in Fngland not receiving $1000 a year, which looks mean compared with the salaries offered the few who have been Invited to American pulpits. Many ars paid not more than $2 SO above the salary they got when they left college 10 or 40 years ago. But now adays there ars no instances, as there used to be a generation ago, of the vicars of small parishes supplement ing their livings with wbst they could make In cobbling boots, weaving bas kets or selling garden produce. When it Is considered that the Arch bishop of Canterbury has $75,000, the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of London $50,000 apiece, and none of ths bishops less than $16,000 a year. it will be easily understood that there Is heart-burning among the Impover ished brethren of the parishes. So the Bishop of Manchester alms at working up enough funds to re move "ths vies that lies so deep in ths system of our church." He plans to arrange things so that after five years' service the parson shall bavs not less than $900 a year, after ten years no lass than $1000, after 15 years $1250. and after 5 years of age a retiring pension of $1000. Meanwhile, the advanced politicians Are urging the separation of chureti and state as a solution, for then the congregations would be forced to maintain their ministers and 'merit would be the test of appointment rather than Influence. Many churchmen support disestablish ment, because they believe the Eng lish system of appointments is bad for the church. Snug livings are given by favor of ths local territorial mag nate, and often social "pull" succeeds In planting a nincompoop on a parish.

CITY ATTORNEY "WEARIED" Billboard Opinion Is Slap at Prac tice of "Letting Grant Do It." "Enforce the laws and let ths courts decide copstltutlonal or dis puted points," Is ths gist of an opin ion handed down by City Attorney Grant yesterday regarding billboards, While ths opinion was delivered to Building Inspector Plummer, It was dl rected toward Mayor Rushlight, who instructed Plummer to seek advice on the new law. City Attornoy Grant Is aald to feel that too many petty .questions are ssked of him by city officials, and he probably regarded this as ons of them. It has become a habit of city officials to send everything to City Attorney Grant that they cannot send anywhc else, either for purposes of delay or of hoping to secure some desired point to work upon. Mr. Grant, however, has wearied of this and came as near say lng so In his billboard opinion as he could without giving offense. He did say that the provisions of the law are all clear and that everything points to their constitutionality. He said that the Building Inspector should proceed and enforce them and let the courts decide. HARBOR PROJECT URGED a FUTURE OF TILLAMOOK COO TRY AT STAKE.
