FEES AND SALARIES.
Mr. BARNETT moved to take up his bill [H. R. 311] to amend Section 26, of an act providing for certain employes, fixing certain salaries, compensation, duties, liabilities of officers and clerks therein named providing for the disposition of certain moneys, etc.
Mr. BARNETT said the labor of the session, in all probability, will take up the time so there will be no fee and salary bill passed. The existing law upon that subject is the most infamous ever put upon the statute books of Indiana, ansd I think it is high time to remedy this evil. I hope the bill will pass.
Mr. FRAZER made an effectual effort to lay the bill on the table. He did not see the necessity of so many fee and salary bills; there is a bill in the Senate now on that subject.
The bill passed--yeas, 66; nays, 1l.
