Quick Action On Salary Boosts in Washington
Taft spoke against quick action on pay raises as the House debated a measure to raise the President's salary to 100000 with a 50000 expense allowance and boost the Vice President and Speaker salaries to 309100 and 70000 in expenses. The plan also lifts 222 other top officials and 12400 federal workers with an annual cost of 6207.00.
