which makes the aggregate budgetary
appropriations s5s.652 .47S.5l.
In introducing the bill Senator Sage
said:
1.-THE salary increases in this bill
amount to very small sum. Il Is nee
essary in business of the state, as IN
any other business, that faithful ser
vice should be recognized.
Small Salaries Increased.
Il think it is safe TO say that nine
tcnths OF the increases have been in
salaries OF less than 81 200"
Senator Wagner, minority leader. de-
clared there was no justification for
the size OF the appropriations. He
said:
Last year the Majority attempted TO
make the public believe the enormous
appropriations were required 70 meet
deficiencies of former years. No such
excuse can be made this year. The
Republican party has increase the cost
OF running the state government Sl0.-
600, 900, for WHICH there is no justiiica-
ton and for which the only explanation
is their desire to use the public funds
TO obtain political advantage.
"The fact that the Republican leaders
have decided that no direct tax is neces-
sary this year reflects no credit upon
them. because the enormous surplus
created last year would obviate the
necessity Of d direct tax even II the
appropriations were still higher. Every
one in Albany knows that the failure
10 levy direct tax is due TO the fear
OF political consequences
