fixes it at the amount that we ask Tor.
1t is the law today. 1t is not new leg
islation. 1 appeal to every friend we
have got on the floor of the House on
both sides to sustain this amendment.
(Applause.)
Mr.. Bingham. Mr.. Speaker, l desire
to submit to the House in connection
with the paragraph under consldera-
ton, upon which there will be yea
and-nay vote if necessary by the
House, that the neighbors of New
Mexico and ARIZONA, as States today,
having gone through their period as
Territories, knowing the value and rec
ognizing all the demands and require
ments of their governors as we'll as
their secretaries, have, after careful
consideration, reached the conclusion
under which they are administered to-
day.
wyoming pays $500 to her governor;
Utah, $4,000; South Dakota, $1,000;
North Dakota, $4,000, and, by reason of
legislation of this body, $4,000 is given
the opinion that the States know the
value and the requirements of their
different officials as well as this House
seemed to know during the past fifteen
or twenty years in the matter of legis-
lation covering New Mexico and Ar1-
IONA.
/ desire this bill to come before the
House consistent from the first para
graph to the last; and 1 think that
there has been no evidence or any
statement upon this floor wherein there
has been any loss to the interests of
those two great Territories. When they
come into statehood, which now seems
probably of early date, these people can
fix the compensation for their own Of
ficials.
/ But it seems to me to be wise to fol-
low what seems to be the idea of the
great West and Northwest so far as
the compensation of the different Off
Gals of those Territories that have
merged into States is concerned.
