Per diem for legislators stirs reform and baits demagogues
The Constitution pays four dollars per day for a 49 day session, but critics say the $2.60 daily rate is wiser. The piece argues the pay trims idle ambition, reduces county clique formation, and reflects a broader anti Benton stance reflected in county returns and state politics. It notes Whig gains, anti Benton gains, and predicts legislative composition with Whigs leading. It references national figures and local correspondence from several counties and cities.
