the nobility of labor, and contend for just com

suit has been announced and the ayes and noes can

0verruled.
Mr. TYLER-Mr. Speaker before that vote is taken
| want to make Il few remarks. | agree very thor
oughly with my friend TO the right from San Fran
cisco, that there are various kinds of reform Iho
that his Asser bly, will be just nearly unanimous
as it may be upon this question. say that a man
who is fit to occupy seat upon this floor earns 10
the people more than S. day. And il it was com
petent under the new Constitution to put it higher
than that, would be in IA or of it. Ihaye uodOubt
that members upon this floor will vote upon this
question just exactly in accordance with the estimate
that they place upon themselves and if there is a
man upon this floor who thinks his services not
worth IS Gay
The SPEAKER-The gentleman is out of order. 1t
is not in order to allude to the motives which ac-
tuate any gentleman in voting.
Mr. TYLER-rhis is my expression, that they will
be governed BY the estimate they put upon them
selves, and if they do not think their Services are
worth IS day then they will vote for putting the
services of others at tie price Now all these
people who think their services are not worth s. a
day will vote for the amendment.
The STEAMER Gnterrupting)- gentleman must
C to order. That language is not parliamentary
and it is Intimidating the gentlemen who desire TO
vote. ANY man has right to vote as he sees fit
and no man has right to iupugn in advance the
motives CT any other gentleman on this fool
Mr.. TYLER am not aware that have impugned
the motives of any gentleman this floor.
The SPEAKER-No member has right to cast any
imputation upon any other member.
Mr.. TYLER i most respectfully submit that have
done nothing of the kind.
lat this point the Speaker called upon the RECORD
UNION reporter for the words spoken by the gent
tleman from Alameda, which were furnished
The SPEARER-The gentleman will take his seat
The Chair orders the gentleman to take his seat.
Mr.. 1YLER-Mr. Speaker
The SPEAKER-The gentleman from Alameda, Mr..
Tyler.
Mr. TYLER-Mr Speaker. said this: | suppose
every member on this floor has the right to pay to
every legislator who comes hereafter just exactly as
much ne is entitled TO receive under the Consti
luton, provided it is not more than he thinks his
services are worth. suppose every gentleman upon
this fOor if ne believes his own services are not
worth than that will be governed in his action
to certain extent by that estimate. l say that all
those who believe the services OF legislators who are
fit to occupy seats upon this floor are worth IS a
day will vote down that amendment
Mr.. MAY-Mr. Speaker, | am sincerely in favor
of the amendment offered by the gentleman from
Santa Cruz, MIR. Anthony, and it would have pleased
me better If he had said S.. | would vote for So.
And | want to say now, that when cast my vote |
don't wan any gentleman to suppose that when |
vote for Al day consider my services worth that
amount. 1t has been my fortune to be merchant
for some years past, and l have not been able to
make s. day Now there may be gentlemen here
no doubt there are-whose ponderous intellects
would be cheap at 500 day, but the State is too
poor to pay them what they worth. The ques-
tion to be decided is, what is fair per diem for
la.i
a day. Another gentleman might be worth $500 a
day. That is not the question. The question TO he
decided here is, all things considered what is fair
and Just to members of the Assembly well to
the taxpayers Of California. Now l shall vote for
the 50 day for members. think it was master
stroke in the honorable Convention which framed
the Constitution TO say that while they themselves
were drawing $40 day. the members of the Legis.
lature should only draw IS. l look upon it with
feelings of admiration when turn over the little
volume that | carry always in pocket, con-
sulting it until it is well nigh worn out
and every time l see that clause where it
says nothing herein contained shall be construed
to prevent the incoming Legislature from paying
us ten dollars day, and then in another place say
that the Legislature sal pass any Act to give
themselves more than eight dollars day, my heart
swells in the contemplation Of it. | am in favor OF
going them two dollars better, and say that will
work for six dollars day, and when their little bill
comes in for us to pay, why won't do it.
Mr.. MCISTUsH-Mr. Speaker, don't believe in this
talk about reform ana cutting down wages The
last Legislature fixed it at eight dollars day, and
the people satisfied with the price. | did not
come here to make political capital. came here to
work for the people. think it is to the interest
of the State that the members should be paid for
their labor. Why sir, can make more at farming
than | can here. | am perfectly willing TO 90 upon
the record | am for eight dollars a day, because
that is the price recommended by the State Grange ;
that is little enough. 1t harder work here than it
is on the ranch.
