THE WW HOUSE AND THE PRESIDENT'S

SALARY COST COUNTRY $230,000 ANNUALLY

During the administration of Presl-

money has been spent on the maintenance of the White House and the executive offices than during, any previou's administration in the history of the .country .J It is estimated that it has cost the, government approximately $230,000 each year, including , the 'presidential salary, to keep up the i"face" of the chief executive of, the mation during ' the past . four ' years.

It is urged that owing to his social obligations and the necessity of mainf tainlng fitting style, it has been impossible for any, - chief executive r to save, anything for the "rainy day," and . 'that each and every one of them has I left the -White House as .poor as he f entered. However this may' be. the ," government has steadily increased the ''amount of money appropriated for 'the . White House. During the closing administration the amount of increase

- other administration. v ' ' When Dolly Madison, who was mistress of the White House from 1S09 to 1813, spent $450 for a piano and another $100 for needed articles of furniture it was regarded at the time as ' an extravagance' and there was much ; criticism. This, however, was a hondred years . ago. and Congress .at its i. present session will probably make anallowance of more than a quarter of a i xnillion dollars for. the maintenance of the White House for , the next fiscal v veaf. and. In ' addition. Increase the

President's salary to $100,000 yearly. - Although it Is supposed by the average dtlsen that the President's aalary Is by far the largest item of xpense in connectloB . with the :Whlto House, recent debates la Coagress ov

the keeping up of the Executive Mansion. While the increase in the White House expenses has rapidly been rising during the past quarter of a century, the upward trend has been much more - pronounced during the Roosevelt regime. Whether there will be an Increase or a falling off during the term of William Howard Taft remains to be seen. The social functions of the White House have been doubled under Mr. Roosevelt's administration, he having practically used his entire official salary for the purpose. Mr. Roosevelt has been a more lavish en

tertainer than perhaps any other

President, yet as much as he has entertained he has not been able to meet the. conditions that the -social life of the capital demands at : the present time. Probably the only reason forx this Is the fact that even the remodeled White House is not large enough to meet such requirements. Even his public receptions have, because of tys popularity with the masses, been greater than those of any preceding President. If Mr. Taft attempts to keep up with this pace, he will undoubtedly come out of the White House as he goes in, comparatively a poor man. Mr. Taft, however, will not have to pay for the floral decorations to be used at his entertainments, as these will be supplied from the government's greenhouses, which . are now kept for the purpose. The music also will, of course, be free, being' furnished , by - the justly famous ' Marine Band. In 1885 less than $20,000 exclusive of the President's salary, which' was then bat $25,000 a year, was set aside for the White House. . But for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, $229,430 has been appropriated. ' This is for the close of the Roosevelt administration and the . first few months of that of Judge Taft. When George Washington was first elected he announced that he wanted no compensation for his services. A warm discussion arose in Congress over the - question and sums ranging from $15,000 to $75,000 were suggested as proper. . Finally a compromise of $25,000 was agreed upon. Until 1873 the salary remained at this figure. It In no wise grew with the wealth and Increased - Influence of t the . country. The- late Stevenson Archer of Maryland, while a member of the House of IUeeeataUves la 1870, Jatxodaoad

what was probably the first bill for increasing the President's salary. This bill provided a compensation of $50,000, just double what it was at the time, but it did not become a law. It paved the way, however, for the legislation that followed. Those favoring the increase at present under discussion believe that the bill now before Congress will have the same effect, even if it is not passed at the present session. It is represented by them that the proposed increase has the hearty approval of the American people. It may seem, they declare, to the average 'man that the President's income is a princely sum, but the President is nSt an average man. He is the chief executive of 80,000,000. Of these 80,000,000 there are many big corporation presidents drawing a vastly bigger salary, and they could do much less entertaining than the President has to without any sacrifice to their dignity. It is compulsory for the President to give at least four big receptions a year, each of which costs him a goodly sum. '"- - Compared with the salaries of some other rulers, and even of unimportant potentates of Europe, the President of the United States Is a poorly paid executive. The King of Portugal, with but 4,000,000 subjects, receives a compensation of $775,000 a year. : . The King of Saxony, a king In name only, and with no duties' of government, receives $775,000 a year. The Russian emperor receives $9,000,000 a year, besides several additional millions as head of the house of Romanoff. The King of Italy has an annual salary of considerably over- $2,000,000. The kings of Roumania and Servia each get nearly $250,000. ' The President of France, who, next to the President of the United States, is the poorest paid ruler, receives $125,000 a year, $25,000 more than the salary proposed for President Taft. . But to get back to the cost of maintaining the White House. It has been stated that the salary Is but an item. It would seem to a casual observer, looking over the congressional appropriations that the President has nothing to do : with his salary but to attend to his personal wants and desires. This Is to a . large extent true, ' but much of the entertaining that has to be done at the President's personal expense Is not front choice. -: The maintenance of the White House, considered In tta literal sense. Is eatiralr oared for out of the public

funds. The appropriations for this purpose have increased from $19,000 in 1885 to $53,000 in 1909. This, of course, exclusive of traveling expenses of $25,000, salary of $50,000 and other incidentals. The President occupies the White House practically as the guest of the nation. But not entirely so. He must pay from his own purse for the clothing for himself and his family, and must meet the weekly market bill, which . is a considerable Item. But to offset this latter expense the President, as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, can -draw upon the army commissary for much of his supplies, thereby getting them at cost price. For ordinary care, repair and furnishing of the White House and for the purchase, maintenance and driving of horses and vehicles $35,000 was appropriated for the present and the same amount . is . asked for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1910. An additional estimate has been made for the coming fiscal year for $15,000 for interior decorations. ' The White House is heated at the expense of the general government. $6,000 being appropriated for this purpose. Nine thousand is appropriated for the propagation of flowers for use at social functions. At all such functions, it being necessary to have music, the President has the privilege of

ordering out the Marine Band. During Mr Roosevelt's administration, this noted band has played at many notable functions, including the Roose-velt-Longworth wedding, the comingout ball of Miss Ethel, and many other similar functions that eclipsed entirely the glory of past social events In the White House. From three to four thousand dollars is appropriated each year for keeping the building painted and . in repair. Twenty thousand dollars is spent annually In lighting the building and grounds, the current for the many electric lights being drawn from the generating plant In the State. War and Navy Department building across the street. This current is . all metered and charged to the White House accounts. The municipal government of the District of Colombia Is compelled to pay a portion of it. In 1907, Congress, for the first time, appropriated $25,000 as traveling expenses for the President, this sum to

be spent entirely at his own

tkm. The appropriation was

of tno tarn aasisit of travel

ing the President did. It was vigorously opposed by the democrats on the allegation that it was for political purposes. Since that time, however, the' appropriation has been annual and the President is permitted to expend it at will, the only necessary formula for its drawing being his certification ,of bills for train service,- etc. In addition the President is permitted to take with him any persons he desires as his guests, all expenses -being paid from the fund. ; A goodly portion of this appropriation for the current fiscal year remains unexpended, and Mr. Taft will be permitted to draw upon it after he takes the oath of office. In addition to this allowance for traveling expense, the President of the United States has at his disposal for the use of himself, his family and their guests the handsomely appointed cruiser yacht, Mayflower of the United States Navy. This vessel is operated entirely at government expense, and it was frequently used during the past administration as was also the U. S. 8. Dolphin and Sylph.-
