Congress Thinks $10,000
Limit Of Earned Income
Aim! Sinn* C.ongrrtiHmen Draw Salary of Only 87,300 a
Year One Must Sim* that Granting Ability Earn $100,
000 Would Make ilonf(re*Kmaii Small Potato
J?T IcODKfiT T. HMATX
rl fill 11.25 V TTir Ailtarirr i
Washington, Jan. f?. ? This yenr
Congress puts I n ? c? ? fTect itn for
mal nnd formidable dietutn thai
no man can legitimately "earn"
more than $10,000 a year. The
Congressmen and Senator* are
paid l?y a benevolent Oov?-rnm? nt
$7,500 a year and It Ik hut nat
ural they rhould figure that no
man eiln be more than $2,500
more Intelligent, more important,
and more useful, than the nation
al legislator* elected by the vote
of a sovereign people. Either that
or Congr? km is thinking very se
riously of raising Hh own salary
to tin- $10 060 mark. Maybe
then in future legislation the legi
timate earning capacity of the In
dividual might bo II f(?'d to $12,
500.
As It m. however. Congress If
of the opinion that President
Coolidg". for example, I* being
overpaid something like $65,000 !
a year. Mr. Coolldge Is a frugal
living, economical man. brought !
up in the thrifty atmosphere of i
New f'ngland, fcu.t there are no In
dications an yet that he agrees
with Con* tvKH on the nubj^ct of
the Executive's pay. The Presi
dent in doing bin best on the side,
however, by conserving his travel ;
allowance to the utmost limit. j
Congress Is of th" opinion that
cabinet officers must be receiving
52.00') a year more than they I
"< arn. ' Thin also goes for th"
Vie.- President. Fortunately for i
"Hell and Maria" Dawes when he
<*>mes to Washington he will have
an independent income shove the
$12,000, the flrst Vies President
to bo In that enviable position for
nearly a generation. And wheth
er he "earns" It or not. General
Dawes will have one of the best j
Incemes In official life.
Chief Justle?> Taft Is being "ov
erpaid" something like $5,000. If
the Congressional criterion ns to
logltimato earnings la sound. AH
of his associate Justices are over
stepping the bounds by something
like $4,500 per annum.
Heaven only knows what Con
gress privately thinks of the $60,- j
000 a year man, or the $150,000
a year man that no many corpora
tlons are seeking or have sought
In the pant Congress can't *? e
that ?ort of stuff at all. No man
can earn more than $10,000 a
year, therefore no man is worth
more than $10,000 n year.
When John Hays Hammond
some yearn ago became consulting
engineer for the Ouggenhelm In
terests at a salary said to have
been $500,000 a year he trans
! greased the Congressional Ideas, of
a man's worth and earning capac
ity by so many hundreds of per
cent there couldn't possibly be
any health In hlin. That was at
a time, too, when the dollar was
worth 100 cents. Of course a sal
ary of $500,000 today Isn't much
to talk about at all. It amounts
to only $300,000 with the dollar j
j valued at 60 cents.
Congress has expressed Its
opinion In the $10,000 matter In
1 the most effective way In which
it could speak. It has fixed $10,
000 a year as the limit in com
puting an "earned Income'' In the
new Federal tax law which be- (
cam" effective January 1, and
which applies to Incomes "earned
during I 2 4 . Congress has de
I creed that after a man has passed
the $10,000 mark his Ineotne
ccas? s to be "earned" and there
i fore must be obtained by som?
sort of skullduggery. On earned
Incomes there Is a reduction of
2f. p< r cent In taxes. It has been
held that Congress did not mean
to d? prlve those earning In excess
of $10,000 of all discounts. The
salaried man above $10,000 may
[ fluure the reduction on hla first
t. n nnd then pay the full rate on
i the balance.
Of course the Republicans are
blaming the Democrat** for the
$10,006 limit. They say the Dem
ocrats practically wrote the new
tax law. Naturally this explains ;
much, for $10,000 in a whaling'
big sum to a Democrat. The laat
Democratic campaign fund didn't
.?moult to very much more than

purposes and further that It vW
l not make any recommendations of
any kind to the Legislature. This
l:? carried out in the biennial re

| siiu'ily an account of the road*
which have been built, the mOM^
wh ? b >?.i: been spent In each
county a'id a resume of the laws'
i under which the body has operat-'
'ill. Nothing is requested; noth
i| lug Is recommended.
L-cal officialdom noes in thla

Ing. Tli. amount has been men
tioned an ranging from $20,000,
i?0n i.i $35,000,000. Unless thla
no>n v Is forthcoming the road
building program will be halted
? - i?t. for what can be accoofc'
p'i. ' cd by the use of funds turned
ovi-r to the Commission by the Au
10 I.icense Department, and such
amounts as at" paid into the state
road funds by the counties. A ma
jor portion of this however, will
b?- to cossary for the maintenance
of the present system of roAds.
During the fiscnl year ended
June :t0. 1 f?12 1 , the (Commission
r'ceived from tin- Auto License
Department approximately eight
million dollars During the first
six months of Hie present fiscal
