Address THE HOME JOURNAL, Perry, Ga. m How Other States Pay Legislators. Atlanta Journal- Pay of legislators in the different states and the length of the sessions of tbe general assemblies vary. The Georgia legislator is often roasted for the length of, time he sits in At lanta and for the huge pay he draws, but the Georgia representative when compared to those of other states— at least some other states—sinks in to oblivion so far as the time con sumed in making laws and the amount drawn for law-making is concerned. Thirty-three states out of forty- five in the union pay their legisla tors a per diem, while twelve pay a salary. The average per diem for the whole forty-five states, accord ing to statistics, is $4 87, and the average length of the session in the states whioh pay a per diem is six ty-three days. In Georgia the legislature is pro hibited by the constitution of the state from remaining in session for longer than fifty days, and for that fifty days’ work the legislator gets the sum of $4 per day. California and Nevada pay their legislators $8; per day. This is the highest per di em paid in the United States. Kan sas, Oregon and Vermont pay their lawmakers the sum of $3 per day. ThiB is the lowest per diem. The longest session of a legisla ture paid a per diem iB the Michigan legislature, which sits for 130 days The shortest iB iu Oregon, South Carolina and Wyoming, where the time for making and unmaking laws is oonfined to a period of thirty dayss. The state of New York pays its assemblymen $1,500 per annum, and sessions are held every year and can not exceed 125 days. Pennsylvania also pays her legislators $1,500 per session, but tbe sessions are held on ly every two years. These sessions are limited to five months. The state of Maine pays her so Ions $150 per session. Where fixed salaries are paid the sessions are rarely ever limited. The longest ses sions of a salaried legislature is in Oonneotiout, where the sessions are from three to six months, and in Il linois, where they last from six to seven months. The shortest session of a salaried legislature is in New Hampshire, where the legislators ad- jo urn after they have worked about ten weeks. Iowa has biennial legislative ses sions, and the members of the as sembly receive $550 per term. The average length of these Sessions is ninety days. In New Jersey the sessions, whioh are annual, last from eleven to. eighteen weeks; $500 per term is the salary paid Wisconsin, which has biennial sessions, also pays $500 per term. Illinois pays $1,000 per session, but the legislature only meets every two years. In Alabama the legisla ture is allowed to meet only everj four years. Georgia is one of the few states that have annual sessions. The following statee have annual sessions of the legislatures: Geor gia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and South Carolina. With the exception of Al abama, which has quadrennial ses sions, all the other states have bien nial meetings of the legislature. Missouri haB a peculiar law. In that state the legislators receive $5 per day for the first qeventy days of the session and after that only $1 per day. It is safe to say that the sessions in that commonwealth are rarely over seventy days. In Texas $5 per day is paid for the fist Bixty days and after only $2 per day. It is said the Texans usu ally adjoun abut the sixtieth day. The state of Utah pays her. legis lators for sixty days and after that they can sit as long as they wish, but the members get no pay. It is not recorded that the house or sen ate ever ;met after sixty days had Free Public Education a Necessity in a Democracy. All the states except Delaware and New Jersey pay the members of tbe house and senate mileage. Mysterious Circumstauce. One was pale and sallow and the other fresh and rosy. Whence the difference?

Probably no one has expressed in few words tbe necessity for free public education in a democracy better than has Walter Page in the following extract from his address on “The School That Built a Town,” published, with two other valuable essays on education, in a little vol ume called “The Rebuilding of Old Commonwealths.” “To talk about education in a democratic country as meaning any thing else than free public educa tion for every child, is a mockery. To call anything else education at all is to go back towards the middle ages, when it was regarded as a privilege of gentlemen or as a duty of the church and not as a necessity for the people. “If a few men only are to be edu cated, the accidents of fortune de termine which they shall be. These will regard themselves as a special class, set off by themselves; and a false standard of education is set up both in the minds of the educated and in the minds of the uneducated. The uneducated regard themselves as neglected.! You have the seeds of snobbery and discontent sowed over all the wide wastes of social life, aud the uneducated part of the state simply adds to its inertia rath er than to its wealth and health. “Bub even this false conception of education is not the worst result of a system that benefits only a few. If only a part of any community be trained, the very part that needs training least is the part that gets it. It is the ignorant that are neg lected,and the state thus goes stead ily down. For those that are pre disposed to ignorance and idleness and a lack of occupation are the very members of the oomrannity that ought not under any circum stances to be neglected. There is, therefore, no way under Heaven to train those who need training most but by training everybody at the public expense. “More than this (for democracy has the quality of giving constant surprises) it is always more than likely that among the neglected are those that' would become the most capable if they were trained. Soci ety forever needs reinforcements from thu rear. It is a shining day in any educated man’s growth when he comes to see and to know and to feel and freely to admit that it is just as important to the world that the ragamuffin child of his worth less neighbor should be trained as it is that His own child should be. Un til a man sees this he cannot become a worthy democrat nor get a patri otic conception of education; for no man has known the deep meaning of democracy or felt either its obliga tion or its lift till he has seen this truth clearly.” They Have Style.

When the rain water had dried off the streets it was found to have left a sediment of fine, light dust. The dust is believed to have come from the volcano of Santa Maria, in Gau- temala, whic)i broke out iu violent eruption last Ootober, causing great destruction. For some weeks the people of California have been wit nessing some gorgeously colored sunsets, which they believe are oc casioned by volcanic dust in the air. Nearly Forfeits His Life.
