When the House convened this morn
ing Mr.. Weeks brought up the joint
resolution introduced Tuesday, relating
to the Christmas adjournment. He
thought he voiced the sentiment of a
large number of the lawmakers in urg
ing recess OF one week instead of
two weeks. lie favored thrce-quarters
mileage. Mr.. Hapgood said he should
demand the yeas and nays" and that
whatever mileage should be voted he
would leave his share in the treasury
to pay the expense of calling the roll.
Mr. Hapgood had offered an amendment
making the mileage one-half and it was
upon this amendment the vote was TAX
en-. The vote stood NO 200. Yes 8,
and the amendment was lost.
Mr.. Colburn of Milton thought Mr..
Hapgood was not always consistent in
the matter OF salary and mileage for
the members. He said that in 1906 Mr..
Hapgood took 500 salary and $3.50
mileage though he was disqualified from
holding his seat in the legislature from
the fact that the member from Peru
had an office under the federal govern
ment
The resolution was then adopted and
adjournment will be taken Friday, Dee.

at $3.50 o'clock The members will re-
ceive three.quarters mileage.
