salaries and fees to sit through the

| Senator Wing. who sat here last year.
| as its chairman. Senator Conan.

and two more honorable. high minded
men never sat in this chamber and
| they We're added to by four members
I from the House. who proved TO be
faithful, honest, painstaking mem

| They visited every county in the
State. They listened TO all that was

reducing and equalizing salaries.
! When that committee had finished its
duties, they came to this Legislature
/ with their report. and new commit
| tee on salaries and fees was created
TO put bills into execution that would
| cover their recommenda tons.
! That committee has been very fair
| committee, and on every occasion.
