be read The new sections were read
and Mr.. burlington, OF lreden stated
| that it seemed to him that those sec.
tons had been so worded as TO raise
the salaries of all the clerks in the Of
fee of Public Instruction "unbe-
knownst' to the General Assembly
He could NOT see why the straight open
| way of introducing bills to this effect
had not been chosen.
Ehringhaus called for the reading
of other sections. After they were
read he said that it would be found
| that the law carried an additional APP
preparation of fifteen thousand dol
| lars for the next two years, to be paid
! out of the State treasury, without
ever having been before the Appro-
Eriation Committee. He could not un-
! derstand this attempt to secure appro-
| priationS without submitting the prop
ositions squarely before the General
! Assembly.
| Mr.. Feimster said he voted for the
bill yesterday without dreaming that
| he was voting for these extra appro-
priations. He had discovered that il
carried in sections one and fourteen
an increase of salaries OF clerks of the
| office
| Laughinghouse said the House had
refused fatty to increase the salary of
| the chief clerk in the Office of Secre-
| lily and nine children to support, ana
now a fight was made on increase of
| salaries of these hard working clerks
| in the superintendent Office. 1t was
an outrage to refuse these, when the
salaries of every Superior and Supreme
court Judge had been raised by thOus-
ands of dollars.
Judge Winbolne said he was oppos-
ed to increase of clerks salaries in
\ lga.lIHr a
was prepared to increase the salary
of the State Librarian and SO ON all
down he line.
Robertson moved TO refer the bill to
the Committee on Appropriations.
Winborne moved to re-commit to
the Committee on Education.
Butler said that re-committing
would do no good, the bill had just as
we'll be fought out here and now. II
would be impossible TO get a meeting
of the committee at this stage of the
Legislature.
Mr. Murphy, of Buncombe, chair
man of the Committee on Education
opposed re-committing the bill. He
said it had been prepared by a sub
committee of the House and Senate,
and had been thoroughly. carefully,
and publicly investigated by the two
committees and every section of it ex-
planned and approved. The bill had
passed the Senate and il was a good
law. He said that every member had
been given an opportunity to examine
il and there had been no thought of
covering up anything. He suggested
that it would be a good idea to have
the bill printed and make it a special
order for Friday night. Biggs named
Saturday at II o'clock, and this was
agreed on. Two thousand copies
of the bill were then ordered printed

tion for q bond issue
