2--The GLOBE Thursday, June 28i 1973 Global Viewpoint What about the pay raise? No other single issue has come out of the recent legislative session to cause an uproar like that of the pay raise for elected officials. It ranged from a "reasonable" increase for some elected offices to the whopping 198 percent increase for legislators. And the justifiable howls of the indignant public have been heard ever since. There is not much doubt that a raise in pay for elected officials is in order. The governor proposed one level of raises, and a majority of the legislature went a few steps further, probably thinking that the fuss would d~e down by election time next year. A raise is in order if one considers that, in the case of the many of the state officials, they have to pay more for the talent they hire than they receive themselves, such as the Supt. of Public Instruction, Secretary of State, State Treasurer and others. For the legislators, the job has changed considerably since the last raise in 1965. At that time the Legislature met once each two years and held in- termitent committee meetings otherwise. Since that time, there have evolved annual special and regular sessions of increasing length, and now the entire body has embarked upon a "continuincl" conceQt of operation. If this is to continue, then more pay ts =n order. The question is--Is this creep toward a full-time legislature necessary? Are the problems of gover- ning the state increasing to the point of needing this increase in commitment from its elected representatives--which should be paid for? There are two initiative propositions now in cir- culation that will help to slow the pell-mell direction that the legislature is taking. One is Initiative 280, proposing to limit special sessions to thirty days. This would effectively limit the continuing concept of the legislature. The other is Initiative 282, to limit pay raises. This will very effectively put the brakes on the swing to a full-time legislature. It will continue to keep the emphasis on a part-time, citizen legislature. The thoughtful citizen will want to consider which he feels is the best for the state--part-time or full- time legislature, and make up his mind about the pay scale. And also make up his mind about citizen- legislator input in legislation which reflects many viewpoints of many vocations and areas of the state, or go to the professional politician.
