RdQclln moved luaL lue uidStCA W -
ferred to the Committee on Attaches.
| Belshaw offered as substitute tnat
| the resolution Of LundQufst be printed
in the journal and lay over one day IN
order that members might acquaant
themselves with the details.
! Cosper said it is asserted by people
and papers all over the State that
there Is a large body of attaches con-
nected with the Legislature who are
simply looting the treasury; that
| large amount of work is provided ior'
but never done. That was why, he saio,
that he had asked for an investigation
| by the committee into the whole pooy
! of attaches to determine whether the
assertion was true or false. He claimed
that LundQuist's report did not meet
the requirements of the Cosper resoiu-
ton, which was adopted by the House.
The members, Cosper said,. are loaoeu
with duties, and cannot investigate per-
sonally. He would like to see the orig
inal motion to re-refer carry.
Wade said things might be all right,
but they didn't look so. He wished
every member who had appointed an
attache or had asked for pay for an
employe would come out and explain
just the standing of those he was re :
sponsible for. Belshaw's substitute
carried.
