'he members in these lines, but is the requirement as great as the costq Tn oeler words, ought it to require over az,ooO to keep the legislative halls
 cleaned up' for sixty days, or at a ra'e of S47 per day? Again, should It require S39 day to wait on the members, carry their bills to the chlef clerk, provide them with neer- ed stationery. etc., under the head of
 page service?" Or. should it cost the sla'e over S36 per day for steno- graphic help in copying bills. writing letters to constituents, etc. for 135 members? Or, is $7o a day too much 10 pay out for committee clerks dur ing a slXty-day session, for services III attending such meetings as are called to consider bills in committee before they are acted upon by two houses?
