WILL HAVE To SCRUB ALONG
Effort to Get Increase of Salary for
Surveyors General of the
Western States.
(Special to The Herald.O

Washington, Feb. 15.-Western rep
resentatives united in an unsuccessful
effort on the floor of the house today
to amend the legislative appropriation
bill so that the salaries of surveyors
general could be increased from $1,000
to s., 900 per annum. Speeches in sup
port of amendments providing for this
increase for their respective states
were made by Representatives Cook
and Bonynge of Colorado, Howell of
Utah, Pray of Montana, Jones of
Washington, French of Idaho and
Mondell of Wyoming.
BOnynge and Howell called attention
to the Inconsistency of members of the
appropriation committee accepting an
increase in their own pay of 80 per
cent, and refusing to grant a similar
increase to surveyors general. Atten-
ton was called to the fact that recent
ly the interior department cut off fees
amounting from $500 to $1,000 per an
mum being received by surveyors gen.
eral. so that the proposed increase of
81 900 per annum would only serve to
keep the salaries at what they have
been, and would not be any increase.
Despite the arguments, all proposed
amendments were voted down.
Mondell told the committee that the
senate probably would grant the de-
sired Increase and get credit for doing
justice to these public officials.
