WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--Salary or
wage increases of from five to ten
per cent for about 10000 government
employees receiving less than $500 a
year and of $500 a year for each
representatives secretary, were pro-
yided in the Legislative. executive
and judiciary appropriation bill
passed today by the house without a
record vote. The secretaries now get
$500 year. An attempt to provide
each representative with an extra
stenographer at $75 month during
the session failed Discussion of the
measure, which carries appropria-
lions aggregating $390OO,0 900, was
productive of much debate over the
financial condition of the country.
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appro.

clared the next budget would exceed
$1,000. 10000 and that the country
was confronted with the possibility
Of attempting to collect $500, 1000. 900
more in new taxes.
How are you going to raise it,"
he asked. Restore the Payne-Ald-
rich? That is the proposal some of
you make, yet to save your lives you
cannot frame tariff bill which will
yield over $35O,O0O,OOO year"
Mr. Rainey also asserted that the
limit in revenue had been reached
from income taxes, the present rate
being the highest in the world, and
that nation wide prohibition would
soon make It necerssary to raise
$257 900 900 from some new source.
Republican Leader Mann favored
higher salaries for employees, declar-
ing they should share in the general
prosperity which the country is ex-
periencing as a result of the Euro
