Massachusetts is worried over an at
tempted salary grab" in its own legislative
body. 1t appeared in the shape Of propo-
sltion to repeal the general law under which
the members are paid $3.50 for the session,
and at the same time to fix the pay for this
year at that figure. If this had been carried
through by any respectable majority, it was
intended to increase the amount by some
legislative hocus pocus or Butlerian tactics.
The scheme failed, however, as the first
proposition was defeated, SO to 70. 1t
strikes US that some Of those eastern Solons
possess a remarkable degree Of cheek in
view Of all that has been said in reference
to salary swindling.
