Politicians of both parties have since then shown a thrifty disposi- tlon. In n. class by tlIQIIISGlVCiZ, they are enabled ‘to fix their own re- muneration and they soon began the process of enlarging the indent- uily of $000 indemnity. it was iacketiup, first tn $1,000, then to $1,500, next to $2,500, and finally to $4,000 during the Will‘ period, and so remains.
