REPRESENTATIVE JacObsOn's resolu-
ton for the appointment of a COM
mittee to investigate the matter Of
salaries and fees paid to all officials,
boards and employees OF the state
was adopted by unanimous vote
in the house at yesterday mornings
session, Representative Dingman
withdrawing his resolution to give
Mr.. Jacobson the right of way. That
The resolution met with no OppOsi-
ton was due not to the lack of oppo-
sition. but to the obvious fact that
it would pass anyhow. and the oppo-
nents Of it did not care to disclose
their tactics at such an early stage
of the proceedings. When the reso-
luton was taken from the table,
where it had gone on notice of de-
bate. Mr.. Jacobson stated in a few
words the object of the investiga-
ton. He declared that it was aimed
at no person or official in particular.
but the committee on appropriations
and the house itself ought to know
just what each department was get
ting in order that they might act in
diligently in all things coming be-
fore them. He said that two years
ago bill had passed which increased
the COMPENSATION Of d certain Off
ciaI from $1,000 TO $4,000 per annum.
1t was subsequently found that the
salary, instead of being increased
to- $4,000 was increased 50. 900.
making it $4,000. There were many
such cases. he said. which could be
reached by such an investigation.
The party alluded to by Mr.. Jacob
son though he did not state it. was
the supreme court reporter. When

atve vote.

the proposition to recall from the sem
ate the bill transferring $4,000 from
the school text book fund to the in
ternal Improvement fund for the pur-
pose OF recommittng it to the house
judiciary committee. The proposition
to recall was based on a communi-
cation from the attorney general de-
cIaring that such a step would not be
in accordance with the constitution.

went against the business end of an
adverse ruling from the chair and was
forced to retire under a defeat.
