There will be the necessary help to
employ, and hope the rules commit
tee will fix just and fair cornpensa-
ton for all help we shall employ. But
in this connection may say that I
want 1T thoroughly understood that
any employe of this house must ac-
cept with the position the salary that is
attached to the place. The salaries
Will be fixed by you, and if it shall be
brought to my notice that any employe
is soliciting any gratuity other than
specified in the resolution naming him
| shall discharge him, and hope you
>will approve of it,,
The declaration of the speaker
against the practice of lobbying for in
creased compensation of legislative
employees was met with applause from
the floor, but whether the members
will be still of the same mind in the
closing days of the session remains to
be seen.
