the salary reduction bills would be
passed today. 1t was feared by
many more the legislature would
spend several days on the salary
cuts and not 60 home until the
session expires by constitutional
limitation, Octo er Z. The session
started on its third week today.
A concerted move had been plan
ned TO ramrod the bills through
with a minimum of delay and per-
haps end the session today. A
motion TO cut off debate in the
house by m wing the previous ques-
ton will be made on each Of the
bills as soon as the main points
hayc been discussed. The bills were
referred to the committee OF the
whole house.
A resolution to adjourn sine die
tomorrow night was pending in the
senate. An amendment had been
offered to adjourn tomorrow. ,she
senate was expected to set a date
for adjournment before starting
consideration o. salary reductions.
Ss,000.Oo Cut Sought
Advocates Of the salary cuts
hoped to shave between $2,500.0 900
and 3,000,0 900 from the appropri-
alton bills passed by the regular
session.
The legislation was submitted at
the specific request Of both houses.
Members Of the house have been
sharpening their knife for days
and enough votes to place the cuts
into immediate effect was believed
assured in the lower branch. Con-
siderable doubt existed about action
Of the senate.
Amendments probably will be Of
fered to the bills proposing gradu-
ated reductions. Advocates Of this
plan declared employees in the high
er salaried brackets should be re-
duced more than those in the low
er brackets. A cut ranging from 5
to :, per cent was favored by sew
eral members.
Both houses yesterday had pass
I'd bills instructing the state auto
matte tax board TO fix the ad
valorem tax rate for state purposes
at SO cents. The bill was passed in
the house after a hard fight and
was amended several times. A free
conference committee to adjust diff
ferences between the two houses
