SECRETARY DAYS
SALARY is SAVED
Senate Passes Bill Doesn't
Touch the Fees Until
1907

The compensation of the governors
private secretary, Frank A. Day, will
not be reduced nor increased during his
present term of office, if the house con-
ours with the senate bill passed yes
terday. This bill, by Senator Cole, re-
quires the governors private secretary
to turn over to the state treasury all
fees received by him for commissions
issued to notaries public.
1t does not take effect. however, un-
til Jan. l, 1907, and is therefore a COM
panion to Senator Coles bill passed a
few days ago, fixing the salary of the
secretary at $500, to take effect Jan.
l, 1907. The s~ecretary's present pay is
$500 plus the fees, which are approx
imately $1,000 a year.
Some facetious debate was occasion
ed by the report of the labor commit
tee recommending for indefinite post
ponement Representative w. l. Nolan's
barber bill. This measure provides for
the establishment of a BARRIERS state
board. whose duty it would be to en-
force the sanitary laws affecting barber
shops. Mean to do this were to be
supplied by imposing on all BARRIERS in
the state an annual tax on so cents
apiece to provide a fund to secure evil
dence and conduct prosecutions.
Senator Durant submitted a minority
report recommending the bill to pass,
Dul II WAS NOl6Q uONn ny al NOiC VI II
to II. Senator Putnam declared he
bill a scheme to impose an annual tax
on BARRIERS and not in any a labor
measure. The majority report killing
the bill was then adopted.
Senator Rieke's bill increasing the
salary of district court judges in the
country districts from $500 to $4,000 a
year was passed, though II votes were
recorded against it. Its opponents con-
cidarad the nrpSpnf commentator of
$4,000 a year enough In the country
districts. Moreover they did not relish
the idea of Ramsey and Hennepin n
ST. Louis counties, whose district
judges at present receive $500 a year
from the state and 81, 500 from their
counties, saving 500 year each, for
the bill provides that the state must
contribute $4,000, and the three large
counties only $500 a year. Those vot-
ing no were:
Collier, Collester, Cooke, Harrington,
Johnson, Laugen, Naeseth, Peachey,
Schain, Schultz, Torson and Wood.
The house bill creating a state high
way commission and levying a tax for
the construction and repair of public
highways was substituted for the SEN
ate bill, and passed by a vote of 35
to 5.
