Such late hour in the session and coming
with numerous other bills in such rush
that have been unable to give to it that
minute and full consideration a bill of it's
Importance demands. This bill undertakes
to fix and adjust the. salaries of State and
county officials, and bears upon its face

framing of such an important measure to
the people of the State. These discrimina-

there has been an aggregate increase of

have been promptly referred back to you
for further consideration, with the hope
