Fees OF Jurors.
II. Il. "a. by De Mattos TO cut down the
fees Of jurors, was taken up and provoked
quite debate AS passed by the house II
provides that Jurors shall receive 81 per
day and cents per mile each way for
mileage.
Range moved that $3.50 be substituted for
s. per day. He was in favor of cutting
down The salaries OF judges and others re-
ceiving high salaries, instead OF the poor
juror. who got his pay in warrants which
he had 10 sell at discount.
Warourton was IN favor of the lowering
y
which a man owed his country to serve
occasionally on a jury. Jurors cost a great
deal OF money. IL was a great burden on
the densesy populated counties of Pierce
and King
Davis, Lesh and Baum opposed the bill.
They thought that the Jurors received hit
tie enough under the present Jaw.
Iesh moved that the bin be indefinitely
postponed. The motion was lost.
Reinhart did not see that there was
either justice or logic in paying Jurors g
per day and others $ and SO per day.
Wilson said he hoped that a bill would
be passed before the present legislature
went out of existence so that current
expense fund would be created. so that
jurors could be paid in cash. Then ne
would be IN favor OF paying Jurors s. per
day. Therefore he moved that the bill be
laid on the table till later IN the session.
The motion was adopted
II b. 2os, by Strive. relating TO answers
and contents thereof. after being amended
was laid on the table.

stance % vlsig the soldiers home az or
ting. the state reform school at ChehaEs.

normal school az Whztcau.
Miller explained taat the house felt hurt
a. the action % the senate IA appointing
three inves eating committees without
cen sulting the lower body.
porr said that IL Was a weL-knowa fact
that the house had refused 20 concur Ia

matter ne moved that = committee of one
~ appointed. The motion prevailed. and
