Sen ators and Rcprcsentative.s have the “franking privilege.” They can .semi letter.s or any other sort of mail matter anywhere without using stamps. Another source of revenue for the thrifty Senator or Represen- taative is the stationery allowance of $125 a year. A member can use up his allowance in carbon pa per, rubber bands, erasers and typewriter ribbons, if he wants to. or he need not use any stationery at ail, in which case he can draw the full allowance in cash. Then each member has his own suite or private offices in the handsome marble buildings adja cent to the capital. The offices are all large and expensively furn ished in solid mahogany and leath er. Representatives who are not chairmen of committees have to put up with two rooms; Senators get thi'ee office rooms and a wait ing room. There are private lav atories and baths attached to each of those suites, and a constant supply of clean towels and soap. A thrifty Representative or Sen ator really does not need to pay room-rent if he is unmarried; he can set up a comfortable daybed in his inner office and dp all his sleeping there. 'The late Senator Park Tliammell of Florida lived in his office for several years and made uo bones about it. Senators get other free services which not all Representatives share. There is the Senate Gar age, for instance, underground at the top of Capitol Hill. It has uniformed attendants, comfortable lounging quarters for Senatorial chauffeurs, and space for housing 361 'Cars. As there are only 96 Senators, this leaves 266 stalls which are allotted to Representa- tvies who are considered to have MOTOR CO.
