committee. we had other appointments
and other work to do, and this has to
with the message from the Governor
mat this Is not the proper time to act
upon this matter.
we should understand that this is
The first veto message, and we under
stand that others will follow if we are
to take action in those matters: we
also understand. in view of the fact
that there are some few specific cases
where salaries seem to be necessary
and where there seems to be an injus
tee done to the ofIiCeholders, that the
salary which they are receiving and
which We're determined, many years
ago. that we have a license to pass fla
Vorably upon these matters, and that
they will be taken care of providing a
commission is appointed. 1t does nos
seem fitting that there should be n
proper adjustment of this matter at
this time, When there has been nothing
done in many cases for IS years. We
are frank to admit that many of those
claims are just, and that because Of
the increased cost af living and other
expenses that the salaries are too low
Those salaries were fixed for 10 or Is
years and are not adequate, today, and
ought to be changed; and so | trust
tina; this motion to rccede and concur
with tie Senate will prevail.
Nj. WHEELER of Paris: Mr.
Speaker / rise for the purpose Of max

OF this House in considering the mes
sage Of the Governor appreciate the
fact lhat there is a clause in there i'm
Riving that the Governor himself rec
ognizes the fact that there are two
classes of salaries in the proposition
pending. OF course we understand that
some of the salaries paid by the State
ought to have thorough investiga
tor; there is another class of salaries
IN this matter which relate merely to
county salaries Now | have under
stood that the committee on salaries
and fees expected to report very soon
On some Of these latter classes which
lave some merit now wish to inquire
before | vote upon this proposition of
tho members of the committee on sal
aries and fees, if we can be informed,
what is the intention of that committee
with respect to some of these matters
which are Of purely local interest, and
