The matter of the salaries of the at
taches of the House came up and after
a spirited debate the matter was re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance.
The following scale of wages was SUBJ
mitted by j. FL Coney: Clerk, $40 a
day; interpreter, So a day; stenogra-
pher, sic a day; ergeant-at-arms, SO
a day; messenger, SIS a day; janItor, 81
day; chaplain. $3.50 a day.
John Hughes submitted the following
| list: Clerk, $500 for the session; as.
sistant clerk, $3.50 for the session. ste
nographer, $500 for the session. inter.
prefer, $500 for the session; sergeant
alarms, $3.50 for the session; messen-
ger, $3.50 for the session; janitor, $50
for the session; chaplain, $3.50 for the
session.
| Representative Hughes stated when
he offered his scale of wages that he
was laboring man and that he
thought the laborer should be worthy
| of his hire He stated further that
he would like to pay all of the attaches
| high wages, but that he owed duty
| to the people of the Territory to watch
out for their interests and that all he
| asked was that fair wage be paid so
| that no complaint could be made in the
| future. The item he objected to most
| strenuously was the one on Coney's
list providing $3.50 a day for the chap
lain. Hughes claimed that the chaplain
did not do enough work to receive that
wage. The committee will decide upon
| the amounts.
