our army from a terrible disaster and
possible humiliation. The letter was

completing its 1abors at Ills last night.
The bill was prepared by the fee and

matter of reducing salaries. 1t prac-

were being received by county officers

1t is probable that no such measure
could have passed the house had it not
been that nearly every member had
some special officer whose salary he
wanted to raise and in order to do so
he had to raise others.
Nearly half the members of the house
had special fee and salary laws in the
