In sharp contrast to the action of the
House in passing recently the Swiger
County Salaries bill without raising 4
single salary recommended by the
committee, the Senate this morning
advanced the measure to fits third
nesAins. after having spent more than
an hour in amending II so that nearly
half the salaries affected by the bill
We're increased.
More than one hundred changes
relating to salaries we're made in the
bill this morning. more than ninety OF
which call for increases ranging from
500 TO $1,000 most OF these were
made at the recommendation of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, though
many Senators suggested Increases on
the floor OF the Senate. Democrats
and Republicans alike Joined In the
boosting OF county salaries and every
suggested change was adopted unani-
mously
The increases aggregate about S40,-
600 annually, and a1ect practically
every county in the state. Salary OF
Circuit Clerk OF Marion county was
increased $1,000 as also was salary
OF Clerk OF Harrison county and Nc

circuit clerk from $500 to $4,000, and
prosecuting attorney from $1,000 to

Effective in 1921.
The senate also amended the bill
so that IL viii not affect present office
holders, and sections relating to coun-
~ and circuit clerks will not become
effective until 1921.
II is generally believed that the
house will refuse to concur in amend
ments OF the upper branch.
Two bills were considered BY senate
this afternoon. but both were held on
the amending stage until Monday
