STOP DOUBLE SALARIES.
Governor sleeper Insists That State
Employees Don't Get Two Pays.

The request OF Secretary Carton OF
the Public Domain Commission TO be
allowed TO make a trip for the secur-
tiles commission seems to have start
ed something down at Lansing where
employees OF the state have been In
the habit OF working for two commits
sions at the same time and thus earn
ing double pay from the state ID
Secretary Cartons request was OPP
posed by A. J. Doherty, member OF
the board OF agriculture, Secretary OF
State Vaughan and Auditor General
Fuller chiefly on the ground that tho
securities commission could hire its
outside experts. II they were needed
Mr.. Doherty was asked why, as
member OF the state board OF agricul-
ture. he permitted Professor vedder
to do extra work for the securities
board, and take money for H. To this
he pleaded ignorance, and after he
was informed that the professor had
been so employed for long time.
During the discussion II developed
that Governor sleeper had been on
the trail OF exporting" for the secur-
ities commission some two months
ago, and had summoned the entire
commission before him. Those who
favored the granting OF the request for
Carton insisted that Governor Sleeper
had stated that II the men were paid
by the commission and not by the peo-
pie wanting tho approval OF securi-
ties. II would be all right
II did have the COMMISSION before
me- said the governor later, when
told what had happened al the domain
commission meeting II had learned
that they were sending state employees
out to make Investigations and letting
the people Of companies investigated
pay them This. insisted, was wrong
and I still think so.

should stop. II man who Is working
for the state wants to make more

other and at the same time drawing
his salary. That should not be done.

but they should not draw two saiar-

II was called 10 tho attention Of the
governor that possibly no did not have
