The Committee on Reduction of
Expenses has practically decided to
recommend that the salary of the
governor be reduced from So, GOO to
$4,000, and that the following State
offices be abolished Superintendent
Public Printing Register of Land
Office, Railroad Commissioner, Sec
ond Auditor, Board of Public
Works, Clerks of Senate and House
as annual salaried officers, and that
the office of Secretary of the Com
monwealth be reorganized so as to
take in the duties of the Register
of the Land Office. Also that the
sessions of the Legislature be so
instead of 90 days.
Mr.. Lindsay appeared before the
committee and strongly advocated
the reduction of the Governors sal
airy from $4,000 to $4,000. He cited
figures to show that the Governors
office, with fees and extras, was
worth at present to the occupant
$4,000 per annum. He claimed that
retrenchment of expenses should be-
gin at the top and go all the way
down and not simply begin with
magistrates and poorly paid county
officials.
He then read the expenses of the
auditors departments of all the
Southern States. He said it cost in
Virginia over $4,000 per annum,
which was three times as much as in
Georgia, in Alabama or in Tennessee;
tonr times as much as South Caro-
lima; SIX times the cost of North
Carolina, and more than twice the
cost of Louisiana. lie had heard a
successful business man offer to
conduct the whole department with
