gon, today said ithat aside .from all
sentiment in the matter, he waB of
the opinion thatta manblgonough to
bo the president of the United States,

of the government as the president of
a railroad or manufacturing enter
prise and BhoaJd 3jo paid, .as -a 'busi
ness proposition, what the demands
of the opposition Indicate as a fair
compensation.
The president's salary has nover
borne any relatively adequate pro
portion to the mental and physical
work and worry of the position which
are annually increasing. Senator
Bourne called attention to the fact
that the President of France's salary
was $114,000 and that "he was al
lowed a like amount for executive
expenditures. Senator Bourn Tivould
make the president's salary $100,000
a year and the vice-ppresldent's $25,
