CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES 1N 1789
AND TODAY
On September 22, 1789 (180 years
agoL the first 0'ongress voted its
members a salary. This first Congress
decided that representing the people
of the United States was only a part-
time job. They gave themselves six
dollars a day per member for each day
Congress was in session, plus travel ex-
penses. Those days are long since past.
In the last 25 years the salaries of
U..S-. Senators and Representatives
háve been increased four times. In
1945 they were raised to $15,000 a
year;: in 1955 to $22,000; in 1965 to
$30,000; and in January 1969 to $42,-
000. In addition, members of Congress
are given a táx-free allowance for
Office expenses and one round-trip
home each Congressional session. They
must pay taxes, of course, like every-
one else. Despite these several increas-
es, present Congressional salaries are
probably more commensurate with the
responsibilities carried by the natiorhs
legislators. —ACNS.
