The efficiency of the clerical force oi
the House and Senate and especially the
clerk OF the House and secretary OF the
Senate. and their probable worth TO the

iects of discussion in the lower branch

sstants came from the committee to
which it was referred favorably reported,
and fixing the pay of the clerk at ST.
per diem and the first and second assist
ants at 50 and 81 per day, respectively.
Mr.. Hapgood arose to protest against
the clerk being paid Sl2 per day, as It
would place the salary above that OF the
speaker and presiding officer of the SEN
ate. He recommended that an amend
ment be made so that the sum would
be $40.
Mr.. Moore, replying to this. said that
| the average sum paid TO the clerk since
| zoos was slightly over $3.50. He
| thought, as the committee did that by
placing the sum at Sl2, that little enough
was paid for the Important services rem
