this afternoon to devise a plan to hear
testimony and receive evidence in the
inquiry into the taxes Of mining and
certain other corporations, authorized
by resolutions passed by the senate
and the house. II is expected that
the inquiry will get under way at once.
The house committee, appointed yes
terday afternoon, has employed three
clerks to assist IL. The senate COM
mittee met this afternoon to discuss
the situation.
II is understood that the two com
mittees will meet in joint session, but
that they will make separate reports
to their respective bodies. While this
plan has not been announced, II is
said to be practically agreed upon.
II is known that the committees pro-
pose to call in many witnesses and
that they will go into the subject Of
taxation as far as their authority and
time permit

Still on Payroll.

BY vote of 4s to ~ the house to-
day refused to discharge II attaches Of
the cloak room who had been en-
ployed as clerks" majority of the
committee on employees recommended
that these employees be released. on
the ground that there already were
more than enough cloak room em-
ployes and the law limited the number
of clerks that might be employed.
Flanagan. OF Silver Bow. chairman Of
the committee, and Searles opposed
the majority report, and the minority
prevailed After a long and sharp de-
bate. the question was referred to the
judiciary committee to determine the
legal status of the employees added 10
the payroll.
White, favoring the discharge Of
these employees, slid that there were
altogether too many handsome girls
in handsome gowns standing around
the cloak rooms These employees. he
said. were purely ornamental and
ought not to be kept on the payroll
He declared that there were so many
pretty women hanging around in the
guise Of committee clerks that the
young men of the assembly were be-
coming crosseyed and that the older
fellows were suffering from eye-strain.
other criticism Of this
character the new employees were per
