this country that need changing
Ninety percent of the people Of today

happened along and stood in front of
the camera At least 200 people faced

Lawmakers Are paid.
Monday was the first payday for
the legislature. The lawmakers and
attaches drew their first weeks pay.
Before the session opened there was
some talk that auditor J. c. Callaghan
would refuse to sign the warrants I'M
til il had been determined whether the
legislature is a legal body. The claim
went out Of office January /, because
they were elected only till the first Of
1913 and the constitution says nothing
about their holding over It'll their sue
cessOrs are elected and qualified as
are all other officers
The plan was for Callag CHAN to refuse
to sign the first weeks warrants and
someone to bring mandamus proceed
ings against him. That would throw
the question into the courts But at
torney general George Purdy Billiard
decided that the auditor cannot be
mandamused, as he is an official with
discretionary powers. Callaghan exsr-
cised discretion and signed the war
rants. The legality of this legislature
is not to be determined, at least not |
yet
