| that those who como AFTER US are Ia1rly COM
pensated, saying that In this House, as well
as out of it, ''the laborer Is worthy Of his
hire" The attention of members was next
called to salaries Of other States, showing the
inequality of salaries paid by them and the
State of Maine to legislatures.
Mr.. REED opposed the bill, and wished to
enter his name upon the record against lay
ing this additional burden upon the people of
the State. He did not believe the people
were in favor of the movement.
Mr.. KNIGHT spoke in opposition to the
measure, and did not see the necessity OF an
increase. Members say they think they pay
800 per week for their board. There was no
necessity for this. He got good board for 81
per week. and would like to make contract
with the Legislature, for a term of years to
board them for that sum. 1t might benefit
the city, to have salaries raised, but it is
measure that the people are opposed to.
Mr.. VINroN again spoke in reply.
The House reconsdered its vote giving the
bill passage.
Mr.. MAYHEM moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill.
