SWEETS OF OFFICE.
PRIME MINISTER'S SALARY.
***** ALTOGETHER INADEQUATE. "A white paper shows that of thei seventy-one members of the House of Commons who hold office' twenty-one are paid, and the remaining filty draw between them £140,425.
"The first reflection to which this } return gives rise is the scanty volume of what are usually called the sweets of office." says the Outlook. →Every Ministry is in turn sccused of cling ing to power for the emoluments it affords; to every Opposition the re- tort is made that it is actuated solely by jealousy. Yet, at a time when offices are unusually numerous, only one member of Parliament out of four- teen can hope for a place of emolu- ment, even of £70 year.
"In the light of these statistics, the! Ministry cannot be regarded as alo! gether a Tom Tiddler's ground where anybody indelicate enough to thrust himself forward can pick up unlimited! quantiñes of what Mr. Mantalini call-į ed the demnition gold and silver. Yet no doubt the public will still be told by impassioned economists that its burdens would disappear it the placemen were reduced to their old numbers
** Familiar with this tendency of the average citizen to regard Ministers as rather idle "people battening hand somely on the public, we are fully
conscious that we are not taking the popular course in arguing that the sweets of office should be made con siderably sweeter in the only substan- i rial sense. Yet the adjustment in! some degree of the conditions of pub- lic service to those of private need is in reality a matter of far more moment to the nation than to Ministers.
"There will always be plenty of rich men who for the honour of the thing or for more complex reasons. wil be willing to give their time to the public service for èmolabenis no greater than those at present paid. But if we are to have the largest field of choice, if the democratic view of the career open to talents' is to hold, then it is quite obvious that the tradi tional five thousand a year for dis- charging the highest responsibilities thar can be laid on a subject, will have to be increased. At present the Prime Minister, as Prime Minister, · receives nothing at all. As first Lord of the Treasury, he is paid five thousand YEST On this, of course, he pays. income tax, and he is entitled to nothing in the way of a pension. į Obviously then, a Prime Minister: must belong to a very small and select Either he must have private means, or his profession must be of) that kind, such as law or authorship, which can be requried at any time."
Some time ago we devoted .con- ! siderable space to the discussion of the problem of the poor politician. ! The arguments need not be repeated but we are glad to note that the Times, so far at least as the Prime Minister is concerned, takes our view that the present remuneration is an altogether inadequate recognition of the nature of the duties and responsibilities of his high office.
