Ellery E. Tucker. The members of the Rhode Island general assambly from Westerly and the members from Pawcatuck in the Conneecticut legislature, are at more disadvantage than some other mem- bers by reason of the longer distance from home towns to the state cap- itols of the respective states, though it costs Representative Chesebro of Pawcatuck ¢o reach Hartford about three timew as much as it does for Senator Arnold and Representatives y or Murphy to reach Prov- 3dence. The conditions as T mileage is about the same in both states. In Rhode Island the supreme court says it is unconstitutional for members to recelve more than one yound trip & the session, while in Connecticut it is conceded, without supreme court action, that it would be uncopstitutional to give members dally mileage during the session. In ‘onnecticut the members are In the drums on the subject, having de- ted & measure that ordered the comptroller to secure and pay for the mileage, with understanding that an- other bill was to be presented which would provide for a reduction in the taxes of rallroads to an amount equal to that paid for the transportation of members. When action was being taken on another measure, compelling ds by revision of charters to vide free transportation to mem- Bers, members dodged the question by leaving the house without a quorum. Therefore, the same measure will be taken up for consideration today (Tuesday). In Rhode Island the members were not satisfled with the decision of the supreme court, and resolution is pend- which, if adopted, will eventually Tesult in continuance of the free pass system. It was referred to the com- mittee on judiciary and promptly re- ported back with recommendation of passage. There are many republicans and democrats who believe that full mileage should be paid the members as it was never intended that they shoulq pay railroad fares while in the service of fhe state. There are others who hold the view that public office is an honor and should not be viewed from a financial standpoint. These same men advance the idea that the man who works for a weekly wage and is dependent upon such earnings for support should not aspire to legislative honors and leave the government of the state with men of wealth.» The argument is advanced by this same class that no one 1is compelled to become a member of the general assembly and to any to whom the office proves an inconvenience can readily relieve. themselves by re- maining at home. It is probable that the mileage proposition will be defi- nitely decided by the legislatures of both states before the end of the pres- ent week. In Rhode Island the members of the legisiature have always received pass- es which were recognized even after the legislature adjourned. When free passes were issued to Connecticut statesmen, the passes were no good after the Jegislature adjourned. About twenty years ago the free pass system was abolished and the mileage of members during the legislative session was peid for by the state. No con- stitutional guestion was raised on the matter, juntil Governor Baldwin de- clared ‘the payment of mileage, other than one round trip, was uncofstitu- tional and in this he was supported by the opinion of the attorney general. It is probable that before the session ends this matter will be taken to the supreme court for definite decision.
