PROPOSAL TO PAY 'JUDGES' EXPENSES
 LOSES BY ONE VOTE
House Opposed to Bill Which Would Reimburse Circuit Judges For Expenses
 Outside of Circuit
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD

One vote in the house Tuesday de- feated Senator Teasley's bill, provid- ing for the payment of expenses of circuit judges when they are ordered out of their circuits to hold court. E'orty-two votes were cast for the bill and 43 against 1t.
 The measure proposed an increase in the amount for expenses from s2 a day to s5 8 day and for railroad fare. Retrenchment members of the house jumped upon the bill at once, declared that the legislature was elected on reduction platform rather than platform for increase and that the bill was no more than an effort to. increase the salaries of circuit judges, who knew what their salaries were to be when they were candi- dates.
 Because of the absence of largo number of members when the vote was taken, an effort will be made to reconsider the vote on the next legis- lative day.
