APPROPRIATIONS
FOR DEPARTMENTS
CRUELTY SLASHED
Lf Bill Goes Through, Some
State Employees VIII Be
Looking for New Jobs

HELENA.-A brilliant example Of
the effects of some plain and fancy
carving was the measure setting
aside funds for the operation and
maintenance Of state offices for the
coming biennium, when said bill was
introduced Tuesday afternoon by the
house appropriations committee head
Ell by Representative Grant Reed of
Townsend.
Taking as its slogan Governor J. E.
Erickson's plea for economy, the COM
mittee slashed $4,000 off the first
years appropriation for the office of
superintendent of public instruction;
sliced $1,155 from funds for the at
torney generals department, and
sawed 1925 from the state treasur-
er's allotment. Small increases for
tile governors office and for the
state auditors department were al
lowed.
Eliminates Inspectors
The $4,000 deleted from the ap-
preparation for the superintendent Of
public instruction represents salaries
heretofore paid inspectors of rural
and high schools, who if the bill goes
through in its present form will find
themselves out of jobs. Under the
measure the superintendent would be
paid $4,000, deputy $500; stenOg-
Faphers $3.50; clerk $1,000, and for
other operating expenses is allowed
$6,545.
Two years ago the attorney gen
erals department was given an ap-
preparation of $34,5OO. This has been
reduced to $S3,345 or a decrease of
$1,155, which includes $4,000 set aside
for the operation of the farm loan de-
partment. Included in this proposed
appropriation are such sums as: Sal
az of the attorney general, $4,000:
Salaries of assistants, $4,000; salary
cf law clerk, $1,000; salaries of othe,
employees $4,12O.
The office of the state treasurer
VS. given an appropriation of $26,00C
= the 1925 session and this year tn,
amount has been cut to $19,075. Tn
amount includes: Salary of treasur
e.. $4,000; deputy treasurer, $4,000
chef clerk, $2,7OO; other employees
$4,000. The treasurer is Above
$4,000 for printing his report an
E2,275 for other operating expenses.
Increase for Auditor
The appropriation for the first yea
Of the operation of the state auditor
department by the 1925 legislator
was $4,000 while this year he is a
bowed $27,581, or an increase of 81
ISL. These amounts include the sa
cry of the state auditor, $4,000; de-
Utv auditor, $4,000; other salarie
$4,000. A bill is now before Il
house increasing the auditors pay
$500 because of acting as insuran
