HOWJ TO MAKE MONEY.
' Thus 'Atticus' In the ♦'Leader':—
?'It Is on record that Mt. King O'Malley,*
during 'his stay in Perth, -put up with
his' staff , at a .popular ooffee palace,
where t'he tariff ia aU mea'ls Is., beds
ls-. 6d. This shows a very commend
able modesty on the .part of the Minis
ter for Home Affairs. A representative
of iLatoor should be properly frugal, and
'?must- ?carefully, refrain from showing
marked superiority to his class.1 Still,
tho'fact tihat Fedeflal Ministers have
recently, voted themselves substantial
travelliEf allowances over and Above
fare and freight, and the-ir ordinary
excellent dual incomes a.i membersawd
?office 'holders, will obtrude at a time
. like 'this. The country, may now com
plain -that the Minister who draws £1
or £2 a day travelling allowance, and
lives at the rate of 2s. -kf. a day, 'a
not doing the square thing by' the
community. Allowances for expenses
should be expended. Taxpayers might
at least 'have the consolation of getting
tiheir own back. ' '
