 committee and Mir. Buckley is hous,
 chairman of the same committee ant
 floor leader. Mir. Fenton. the minor.
 ity leader in the house got the chair
 manship of the military affairs com
 mittee.
 The session In each branch wal short. Both adopted a bill which will systematize the reproduction of photo. static copies of bills by the state If. brary. As explained by Mir. Buck ley measures can be assembled by subjects. classified and handled much better in the new way than in the somewhat haphazard way of previous sessions.
 Scores Salary Law
 Mir. Buckley offered two bills which were ordered printed. One would re- peal the law of 1921 which gave the state board of control power to raise salaries or wages of state employees not otherwise fixed by law. He said the law had bee carried out to an extent not anticipated by the last leg islature and he wanted conditions brought back to where they previous ly were which required that depart ment head should appear before the appropriations committee tell what was wanted and why, so that at the end of the session the legislature may know what 1t has appropriated and how much it is going to cost to run the state. The legislature, he declared should not delegate its power to fix compensation of employees.
 The other bill was identical with one which caused a contest last ses- sion and would prevent a member of the state board of finance from serv- ing as trustee of an institution which receives state appropriations unless said member is serving on the board of an institution in his own town.
