six dollars per day. He was oppo.ed
to this seven dollars on top OF it al.
making the item for clerk hire alone
} twenty-three dollars per day, and said
such a thing had been unheard of be-
fore.
! Senator Achi favole ed the resolu len
stating that at the last session there
had been an allowance of seven dollars
and half per day for writing up the
minutes. He was willing to amend it
and make five dollars per day.
Senator Brown replied that writing
up the minutes was part of the duties
of the clerk. and he didn't think it was
right to malse an extra allowance, no
matter what had been done last ses-
sion He had been a member of the
legislature since 1876 and never heard
of such a thing before. He, was willing
to vote for a resolution providing for
the payment of the clerk in making up
the record for Washington, but not for
performing his duties. Senator Achi
said that Brown had voted for the reso-
luton last session, and the clerk was
compelled to work rights to make up
his minutes while the other officers, of
the Senate were through their labors
when the Senate adjourned.
Senator Baldwin said he didn't want
to shut off the pay, if it was proper.
but he didn't believe in voting double
salary to any officer.
Finally upon motion of Senator Achi
the resolution was referred TO the C)m-
inittee on Accounts.
