,o.,,on, ,,L;.l ;,.1,.,.l .Lo H.,,,,,,;..,, 70,
Finance to report the bill. The reasons

the Governor, Heads of Departments, and
members of the Legislature? lie argued

clarcd his determination to vote against it,
if it be the only vote thus cast.

increase the salaries of all law Judges who
now receive 81, 600 to $1,000; those who

tions was presented, Of local nature
