The extra employee question is ole
Of very serious import to the people
of this Territory. In order TO lay the
exact situation before the people the
Albuquerque Journal secured lists OF
the employees of the legislature the
amounts paid and general resume
.,s the entire situation. This article
We print below, heading with the
bill passed by congress to meet the
extra employee situation il; New Mex
ic0 and appropriating ample funds
for ineir pay. You can make the com
Darisols for yourself.
Amendment proposed by Mr.. Pen
rose to the bill Oh. R. 2157D making
appropriations for the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial expenses of the
government for the fiscal year end
ing June both, 1908, and for other pur-
poses viz: Insert the following:
That an additional sum of fifteen
thousand dollars be appropriated for
the contingent expenses of the New
Mexico Territorial legislature as fol
lows:
For Council: One assistant chief
clerk, one assistant enrolling clerk,
and one engrossing clerk, at five dol
lars each per day; one assistant ser
one assistant door keeper, and one
reading clerk, at four dollars each per
day; three stenographers, at four dol
lars each per day; two messengers,
and two pages, at two dollars each
per day; seven committee clerks at
four dollars each per day; and five
hundred dollars for the President and
three clerks for ten days after close
of session to close business.
For House: One assistant chief
clerk, one assistant enrolling clerk,
and one engrossing clerk at five dol
lars each per day; one sergeant at
arms, one door keeper, one assistant
door keeper. and one reading clerk, at
four dollars each per day; five steno-
graphers at four dollars each per day;
each per day; five messengers and
five pages, at two dollars each per
day; and five hundred dollars for the
speaker and three clerks for ten days
after close of session to close busi-
ness.
For miscellaneous items: Postage.
kilograms, and other miscellaneous
items. two thousand six hundred dol
lars
1t has been hoped that when the
present legislative assembly convened
that the long established and steadi-
ly growing eXtra-employe graft would
be abolished, or at least abated. The
necessity for extra employees other
than those allowed and paid by the
federal government, has been fully
recognized by every one familiar with
legislative procedure. The governor
of the territory recognized it for in
his annual report to the interior de-
partment he recommended the appro-
priation by the federal government
of an additional $4,000 for the pay
ment of needed extra employees. The
$4,000 has since been allowed by con-
gress at the governors suggestion.
All appropriations for extra employees
over and above this amount are lille
gal The $4,000 requested by the
governor is more than is actually
needed, since $4,000 would amply
cover all necessary requirements. The
governor, il is probable. placed his re-
commendatioa at $4,000, expecting
it to be reduced by the department,
as is usually done in the cases of
such. requests His recommendation,
