President, two years ego bill - in
crease the salaries Of the Justices Of
the supreme court $500 was reported
TO Tie Legislature favorably from the
committee on the judiciary. At that
tine there was a strong feeling in the
Legislature against the increase of any
salary, for the reason that there was
strong effort being made to beat
down appropriations in order to avoid
the necessity Of increasing the rate Of
Stat" taxation: and in his message in
| 1891, the Governor had advised against
, til" increase Of any salary. Lcnce it
was an inpppOrtunc time in which to
present the bill, which would have adj
d"d to the fixed charges of TIE State
Tie sum Of $lo5G0. When the matter

ah.cncc, it VS. voted down by one
| ajority, and when tho motion was
| made TO reconsider, realizing Il Z over
