the salaries of Railroad Com
missioners this morning. The cut as

There was an interesting discussion
preliminary to the passage Of the bill

son that the gold standard money
system is in force Whenever free
silver prevails" said Mr.. Rutledge,
''everybody's salary can be raised"
Representative Lee spoke in favor
of the bill, saying that the Railroad
Commissioners do not earn salary
of $1,000 per year.
