SALARIES BILL
PDSHEDTHROOGH
Eonis, Committee of Whole Accepts
Measure with Number of Re
dactions in Force
LEAVE EIGHT BANK EXAMINEES
(Fr-m e Stuff - Corrsrin1fnt.)
LINCOLN, March 5.-8pcil.)-The
power which Mr. Norton of the finance
enmrr.ltte has over hi colleagues was
hown. thin" mornJng hsn the salaries
bill, H, R. 7s. came up and went Ihroufth
with acarrely a kirk. Nobody teemed to
care whether the state waa run on an
efficient basin or whether- men with
future Ideas on political preferment could
JnoorporM their Ideas Into bills. A.
number of state house employee' heads
re chopped oft by the measure.
One or two members attempted to a-et
chanters In the bill, but to no avail, and
the thin wnt through as If It was going
down tobbogan slide. After aJJourn-
otners began to discover how they had
been worked anad registered a personal
protest with Norton. Iloffmelster and ona
or two others for running the thing
through without giving time, for dis
cussion i. . .
Both Norton and Hoffy declared that
thla waa a free country and the members
could have kicked If they wanted to, but
of course the thing waa over and It was
no use to cry over "spilled milk."
Hands Off" Followed.
The nearest the house came to amend
ing the bill was when Representative
Korff pointed out a superfluous letter
" after the state treasurer's office
title. Mr. Korff wanted to strike out this
typographical error, but Chairman Nor
ton of the finance committee explained
that thla was not necessary, a the orl
glnaJ bill dl dnot contain the extra letter.
Chairman Elmelund of the banking com
mittee tried to amend the bill by provid
ing for nine bah, examiner instead of
eight and allowing the department two
assistant clerks Instead of one. He Justi
fied thla proposal .by saying that In the
last year the number of banks had in
creased over fifty and examiners have all
they c&a do. Mr. Hoffroelster, a member
of the committee, replied that the number
of examiners had originally been fixed at
seven, but at the request of Secretary
Roy put it back to eight, the same num
ber now employed, lloffmelater aald the
governor and banking secretary had told
him they thought they could get along
with eight
Worlt n laereaa.
Mr. Patcrson contradicted Iloffmelster,
saying he had talked, with the governor
and Boyse and they both told hlra they
thought nine examiners would be neces
sary. He aald the work' of the depart
ment wse constantly Increasing. In spite
of the talks made by Elmelund and
Peterson, the amendment was voted down.
Mr. Hornby sought to restore the pro
vision tor three deputy game warden,
which provision the house some time ago
voted to abolish. Thl would bare meant
an appropriation of taoo per year aach for
the dnpuUe of I3.60 for all of them dur
ing the next two years. ' The amendment
had very little support
;. Labor Commlaaleaer Rtaade.
Mr.. Howard took a shot at Labor Com
missioner F. M. Coffey by sending up a
motion to atrike out his salary of $1,500
per year. - Thin was lost. - 1
A salary provision of 11.600 per year for
a ecabbles Inspector In the live stoclf de
partment wa opposed by Mr. Retoner,
who moved to cut It out of the bill. Ob
jections were offered by Hoffmetster,
Broome and Rleschek. When the voto
waa taken, even Rclsner failed to say
"aye." and his motion waa turned down
unanimously. ,
