liking the librarians salary at 81 600
giving him $500 for an assistant, sepa-
rating the reading rooms for the races.
and making the Purchasing Committee
composed of Librarian, Superintendent Of
instruction and three others
Senator Foy and Senator Webb said
that this was an increase OF $500, and
they could not Support it. Senator
Broughton said that $500 for an assistant
was necessary FOR the library and two
committees had so decided Senator
Wood said that he was opposed to any
increase.
Senator Struggled said the Democratic
party isn't tied to any such skin flint
policy. | am willing TO vote for any in
crease when necessary. The defeat OF
the bill would be a reflection on the com
mittee Row so far as such economy
goes some one has said you can get equal
service for $50 a month. Well yes, you
can get as good work as we ell are doing
here at % cents on the dollar
Senator Henderson thought this $500
was as lit.le as the State could do. The
librarians work had been doubled So
far as salary went you could get men 10
serve as Governor without any salary.
Low salaries keep out good men There
are other officials who do less and receive
more.
Senator Lindsay said he was an economy
man, hut he thought this necessity and
it ought to pass. OF course you could get
cheaper men but that was not the States
policy.

it did not raise the salary enough. 1t
was not commensurate with the position
