LEGISLATORS RAISE own
Salaries TO $40 A DAY
Senate Amends Expenses
Measure and House
C0nCurS.

The State Legislature today in
creased pay of it's members to $40
a day.
Salary of the Lieutenant Governor
and Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives is raised from S8 to $12
a day.
The vote in the Senate was 45 to
5. In the House there was only one
opposing vote.
Members Of past Legislatures
have been paid Sc a day. The in
creased pay is provided in a rider to
the bill providing 100000 for ex-
penses of the Legislature passed by
the House Monday. The House bill
provided that members of this ses-
sion be paid Sc day when it was
discovered that a measure passed in
the 1925 session raising salaries to
$40 does not go into effect until
1929 and left the present legislators
without salaries.
The Senate raised the amount to
SO this morning and the House con-
CURED.
Lemuel Pittenger, House majority
floor leader, expressed the theory on
which the Legislators believe the pay
increase is legal in spite CT a constl-
tutional provision that Legislature
cannot raise its own pay.
I'VE are advised that the $40
salary Is not in violation Of the pro-
cision a Legislature cannot raise It's
own salary as this is not raising the
salary, but simply setting one.
