.ECRETARY'S PAY
To Be REDUCED.
Legislature Expected to Pass
a Bill Placing Office on
SALARY Basis
ENJOYMENT ABOUT $4,000 YEARLY

Special to The Evening Journal.
Dover, Jan. S.-The office Of Secretary OF
State, which is worth $4,000 a year in
fees, will soon cease TO be such lucra-
tive post It was learned today that two
bills have been prepared by the Regular
Republicans and Union Republicans, re-
spectively, placing this office, as well as
all other State and county positions on a
salary basis. Both bills WILL it is expect
ed, be introduced shortly and it is be-
Aeved that one Of them-the measure
which shall meet with the approval Of the
committee-will pass both the House and
the Senate. Then the struggle for the
place now held by DR.. Caleb r. Layton,
and which is an important factor in the
legislative deadlock, will cease.
1t Is stated that under the proposed or
der Of things. the salary of the Secretary
will be about 5000 a year from which he
will have to pay his clerical force, leav-
ing him approximately $4,000 per annum
net. Should the General Assembly sue
coed in organizing early and in the event
Of the bill going through both Houses be-
fore the Inauguration of Governor-elect
Lea, 1t is regarded as certain that Cover
nor Hum would give his approval of the
measure. The present executive has had
pronounced views on the fee" question
for some time, believing that all offices
| should be on a definite salary foundation.
AS the Regular Republicans and Union
Republicans have both declared in their
State platforms in favor of this innova-
tion, their approval of the plan is natural
/ ly expected. The Democrats will also sup
port the measure. Should tho bill not be
adopted until after Governor-elect Lea
goes into Office. it will not die from in
action on his part for it is generally be-
| lieved that he is of the same frame Of
mind on this subject as Governor Hum.
AS soon as the organization squabble shall
be settled, and the Legislature is in po-
sition to transact business, the salary
bills will be brought out. While there
may be some opposition, it will probably
not be of sufficient strength to prevent
the enactment of one Of the measures.
The legislators were too much engaged
in the organization muddle today to dis
cuss the matter at any length.
