SALARIES FOR soLoNs
Sherman Smith Would Have Them
Cover Two-Year Term.

Representative Sherman Smith Of
Hennepin introduced his salary bill to-
day, and it is similar to the measure
which he succeeded in getting thru the
house four years ago, only to have it
lost in the senate shuttle. The bill gives
each senator and representative salary
paid Feb. l and $3.50 on March
Is of each year. Under the pres
ent plan, the members receive SIS
a day as long as the session lasts,
which as rule amounts to about 1926
in the year Of the session. 1t is argued
in support of the bill that it will result
in shorter sessions and that the addition
al salary paid members will be partly
made up by saving in the per diem of
employees and in other Legislative ex-
renSes.

SCHALLER TRIES
TO PULL IT BACK
HE SEEKS TO RECALL HORIZONS
CAPITOL BILL.
Urges that the Measure Was Probably
Hurried and Ill Advised, a Criticism
Which Inspires the Author Of the
Bill to a Bit Of Polished and Biting
Sarcasm

Senator Albert Schaller of Dakota
county made a strenuous but unsac-
cessful effort this morning to have the
senate recall the Horton capitol bill
from the house, on the ground that it
was hastily drawn, did not contain suf-
ficient restrictions and would permit Of
extravaganza. ..-
~ believe this bill to be hurriedly
and iil,l-advisedly thrown row together
pass such bill, appropriating $780,
600 unless the bill says more explicitly
what shall be done with the money.
Under this bill the entire duty of a
$4,000 offceholder is to appoint few
.janitors, engineers and lot of scrub
women. There should be some limita-
lions on somebody. Let us fix such
limitations that the money cannot be

Senator Horton replied with some
heat.

thing unusual or improper in the con
duet of this bill,' he said. "The pro-
posed new law is as specific as the old
one IS IN naming appointees for the
old capitol, and their salaries. The

only under general supervision of the
state auditor and treasurer. The bill
has not been hastily drawn, tho it may
not reach the high conception Of my
fellow senator's perfect intelligence. -
A roll call showed 80 votes to 10
against recall.
The bill was referred in the house
this morning to the committee on pub
lie buildings. Members of this commit
tee are already promising it's extinc-
tlon, and if it ever gets on the floor
OF the house there will be trouble.
Revision Report Referred.
The senate considered several reso-
lutions. One by Senator Wilson pro-
v1ded that the statute revision report be
referred to special committee of five
members of the senate and seven of the
house. This went to the judiciary COM
mittee.
A resolution by Senator Thompson
was carried, for the appointment Of a
special committee of seven-three from
the senate and four from the house
to draft a bill for the purchase of 1000
additional copies of the statutes re-
vision report. A resolution by Senator
Laugen was passed, calling for a state
ment from the statutes revision com
mission of all expenditures.
The chair announced the railroads
committee would be increased by one
member.

LIFE COMPANIES ALARMED
Will Oppose Bill Providing for Reserve
Fund Investments Here.

LifI insurance representatives are
alarmed over a bill that is likely to be
introduced. which is framed to compel
old line companies doing business in the
state to invest in the state the greater
Tart of the reserve fund credited to
their Minnesota policy holders. The
argument in favor Of the bill is that
Minnesota money provides this reserve,
and at least part of it should be kept
in the state. The proposition is to re-
quire 60 or 20 per cent to be invested
here. This would create a big demand
for Minnesota securities, but the insur-
ance men argue that it would seriously
hamper the financial operations of their
companies.

ONE FOR EACH CITY
Additional Members Provided for Rate
Inquiry Committee.

One representative from Minneapolis,
w. D. Washburn, .Jr., and one
senator from st. Paul will be added to-
to the joint Legislative commit
tee, created under the Eberhart reso-
luton to inquire into freight rates. This
will make a committee Of nine, four
senators and five representatives, and
will give each Of the cities a representa-
tive. The error made in naming all
the original seven from the country was
so plain that there was no opposition
in either house today to charging the
committee.
The presiding officers deferred the
appointment of the other members till
they could confer. It is understood
that Speaker Clague wants to name Mr..
Washburn, in which case the lieuten-
ant governor will name one of the SEN
ators from Ramsey.
The seven original members held
their first meeting at this afternoon,
but deferred organization till the
membership could be completed.
