1825. Decr. Constitutional Code Ch. IX Ministers Collectively
S.23 Remuneration.

S.23S.11. Remuneration

Art 1. Aptitude maximized, expence minimized
indicated in these few words are the leading
principles of this Constitution on the subject of remuneration.

Art 2. As to the maximization of official aptitude,
in this department, for the course taken in this view,
see the next section, S.12. Locable who.

Art 3. Subservient even to the maximization
of aptitude is minimization of expence. For
1. Whatever he the occupations belonging to the office,
the greater a man's relish for them is the greater his
aptitude for it is likely to be.
2. The less the remuneration, in consideration of which
he is willing to exercise those same occupations, the
greater his relish for them.
3. Greater still if instead of perceiving, he is willing to
pay for the faculty of exercising them.

Art 4. So universal, the greater the expence employed
in remuneration, the greater will be the opulence
of the functionary so remunerated. But the
greater his opulence, the less his appropriate aptitude will
naturally be. For
1. The less will be his notoriety.
2. The greater his facility, for engaging in rival and merely
pleasurable occupations.
3. The greater his facility, for obtaining accomplices in
transgressions, and supporters to shield him against
punishment and disrepute.
4. The more apt will he be to form an exaggerated
estimate of the quantity of the expence, for which, on
each several occasion, there may be a demand.
Art 5.
