the condition OF the state treasury, he
didn't think this the proper time to do
IT. Mr.. Jells said that he was Ia favor Of
an increase but not TO that amount
II am sorry that the report OF this
committee is as 10 Is" said Mr.. Moore
/ think that of all the officers Of our
state the attorney general is the worst
paid public oficsr We have. taking into
consideration the smount of duties
devolving upon him While II we don't
increase the salsries of other public
officers we should not overlook the
attorney general who protects the lives
and property OF every one OF us he is
an official of the state who Is called upon
In every emergency. His duties cali him
TO the remotest parts Of ths state la
the present. case We have very efficient
officer / hope that this House will
pass the bill over the report OF the com
mlttee
II would be very willing to pay him
some more money" said Mr.. Burton,
"but / would not vote to pay him any
amount like that II the committee will
take 1t back and amend 1t to moderate
sum | can vote for it
