studying tho Congressional Glode, and, in co',-
nection with Ills personal observation ne tile

tho salary grab bill from its inception to its tinal

that it had been prepared with tho express pur-
poso Of showing the full oxtont of Buffers ro-
sponsibility for the grub. It il proba-
bio, however,, that no accurate and COM
plete history OF tho measure could be prepared
which would not givo tho prospective Governor
Of Massachusetts tho most conspicuous place in

riea with retroactive clause. Dutler hiMsolf,
in his birmingham spooch, proclaimed as much,
for some ONO olso. at the Same time indicating
that this othor person was tho President Of tho
Unitod Statos. Indeed, when lo introduced tho

ly added, however, thnt ho coucurrcd with It,
There arc two specially prominent features
that suggest themselves in following the con-
soQrtye stagos Ut tho progroBs Of tho bill. One
is that aono OF those who brought forward the
most convincing arguments why should not bo-
colac q law .wero among tho ilrat to avail them
selyes of tho grab after it PASSED.. Anotllor IT,
that tho law .w4a passod only by taking technical
advantage Of tho rulos oi Congress-, and employ
ing whit ia gonorally known aa parliamentary
tactics" III tho most unfair and snoaking fashion.
The bill was frat introduced OIL tile 7th Of
February, by Qeu, Butler, on bohalf Of tho Jul
dietary Committee. III its original form tho
ealary of Congressman was fixed ut $4,000 q
yoar making tho increase applicable to the
