ON ORGANIZATION
Continued from page 1.


After the caucuscs il was found
that each house had elected Miss
E.ckwi,h cf Harrington rs one OF
their s,cnoeraphcrs. Miss Beckwith is
a stcnosraphor in the business Office
eft senator Murphy in Harrington and
her employer had desired her services
FOR the senate. However. when he
learned what had occurred. he agreed
tu let the House have Miss Beckwith
"a their st,nographer and he said the
senate would have 10 select another
one.
II may hc seen that there is a big
difference In the salaries 10 he paid
by the House and Senate for the vari-
Gus offices. For instance the Senate
- TO pay their chaplain 5000 while
tho House Is going 10 give their
spiritual advisor $500. The Senate
had at first fixed the salary Of their
chaplain at only 500. but when the
members learned the House was pay
lng their clergyman $500 the Senate
increased the pay To ssoe.
salary Reductions.
The salary OF $500 each for the
attorneys OF each branch is n big re-
duction in the salary paid the at
torncys for the last Legislature when
the Republicans were In control.
They then had three and each got So
