S2j,OOO from the Mormons, was Teller. q Dement, declined to Oe present at the '- hearing. Teller, who Is a member of c th committee, was present and by iu- 10 qulsies purp sey drew out the avOwal "ith re'pect 70 the use of his own name. a SAN RASCIsCO. Feb. IA Washing | ton Cal! special says: Assis ant AttOr- uey General MOntgouery has rendered ? decision regarding the appropriations | made uy the last AuZOna le ylslaiure in . response 10 representations of the case | made by Governor Zulick. The decis- ! lon says that the appropriation for , Prin.lng Is exceeded by Sl7,I677O the amount allowed by Congress. Continu-
 ing, Asslstani Attorney General Mont gomery says: "I find that pages pre- sumablT small buys, were paid S2lO
 each, and Gs tue Legislature under the
 law could not si. longer than forty days, this would be S6 per day, preclsely the per diem allowed by law to the honora- ! ble members of the same legislature. ! AgaIn, while the laws of Congress allow , the chief clerks of the respective branch ! es Of the legislature S6 per day, find
 that the assistant chief clerk and assist } ant enrolling clerk in each of the said braI ches, four in all, got salary of S720 ] for forty days, making SIS Der day, be-
 ing just three times the per diem allow
 cd the honorable members. This certain
 ly seems to De an extraordinary display
 of hbersllty, especially SO in vlew of the
 fact that there IS nothing whatever in
 the documents before me t0 show that
 the clerks make any division of their
 salaries with their munificent benefac-
 tors. It further appears that the high branch ot the legislature, although con-
 sisting of only twelve members, employ
 ed no less than nineteen committee
 clerks st salaries ranging from S360 to
 S5iO each. These salaries amounted to 1
 S9 per day and SIS 90 per day. It fur |
 ther appears that said legislature ap-
 propriated S3,O10SO to pay for newspa- | ! pers for the use of its members, there be- | ing thirty-six member all told, this I amounted to little over SS5 per mem Der, being little over S2 per day each. | | The United States statute IS explicit | | that no appropriation shall be made by | which members or officers of the legisla- | lures are paid any compen satiou other | than that provided by congress, and yet | ! the Legislature in the face of this law, | proceeded to appropriate $40 for each | member of the lower house and S90 for each member of the higher" The deci- sion of NIT. Montgomery IS that all ap- preparations enumerated above are m violation of law and void. It IS not | known what action may be taken by | congress in regard to the matter.
