After Sullivan's Perquisites
The senate committee making eff
fective in 1919 the assembly bill
to confer on the superintendent of
state police the eX officio job of COM
missary officer of that organization
without salary transformed the as.
.o~,l1- eoccinn uncfnrdou from uhof
looked like an ~uneventful day into
the bitterest wrangle that has mark
ed the deliberati ms of either house.
The amendment finally was rejected
by a roll call of Is to Is, with six
absent and one not voting.
During the wrangle that followed
the motion to accept the senate
amendment Assemblyman Hardy, the
democratic floor leader and speaker
pro tenn, and Booher of Elko, also a
democratic leader, INDUCED in per-
sonalities thai brought Duborg of
Washoe, republican, to his feet to
condemn the acts of both men.
Booher opposed the senate
amendment in one of the most force
u opCC1hCo thS NAG ySt
listened to. During the curse of
his remarks he accused Lieutenant
Governor Maurice Sullivan, who
now is commissary of the state po-
lice at 500 per month, of promising
the last legislature not to accept
the emoluments of that particular
office in case a bill then prepared
for abolishing the office should not
be introduced.
He forgot all about his promise
Immediately after the legislature adj
%journed," said Booher, but | haze
a letter to show that he made it.
IF this amendment is accepted"
he continued, lit means that the
lieutenant governor will dip his fins
into the state treasury for Two
year more and bring out $4,000. |
believe in an honest day for an hon.
est wage and | don't believe any
body can show me where the lieu
tenant governor performs any labor
for that $1,000 per year. | believe
in calling a spade a spade, a steal a
steal and highway robbery highway
robbery"
Hardy to the Rescue
Hardy attacked BoOher very Bit
terly and accused him of endeavor-
ing to break down a mans reputa-
ton by the use of a letter. He also
said there was no foundation for the
remarks and charges made by
Booher.
Party lines were disregarded in
the discussion and the vote. Nc
Namara of Nye, republican, asserted
that he was in favor of the amend
ment because he did not wish to re-
duce any official's salary when he
was in office. Fulmer of White
Pine, republican, quoted the statutes
