with only one burst from their
guns," the news service said.

Few persons do more to ease the burden of the makers of income

Douglas National bank. All year long they keep account of deposits

of usefulness at income tax report time.
The young women pause In their daily task to smile for the

Their work covers many phases, but chief of these is the operation

about $80,000, often more and sometimes less. Yards nnd yards of
paper roll out of the machine on a busy day to make a control sheet
of the day's work, which shows the figures In carbon copy that are
posted to every account.
When the checks have been posted the young women "finish"
them with a perforator that drills faster than a machine gun to
punch them full of holes. There's a pattern to the punched holes
that shows when a check Is held to the light a pattern smoother
than the outline rifle shooting of "Buffalo Bill." The pattern gives
the month, day and year In which the check was "cancelled out."

The bills,' by Representatives
Richard L. Neuberger and J. D.
Perry, would have provided that
no state official could be paid a
higher salary than the $7,500 a
year paid to the governor.
Neuberger said it is unjust to
pay the cost of maintaining Hunt
er's home, and he criticized the
state for paying an annuity policy
for Hunter, costing $1,350 a year.
He said Hunter actually re:
eclves $17,000 or $18,000 a. year,
asserting that if the state would
buy his clothes and meals, the
state then would be paying all of
Hunter's living costs.
Distinction Pointed Out.
Representative A. Ronnie said
ho feared that if Hunter's salary
were reduced, the state would lose
his services.
Representative James A. Rod
man said that Hunter's salary is
not out of line with those of oth
er states, and he added that "the
salary of the governor should not
be a yardstick for other salaries,
because the governor's office is
an office of honor. If you want
to pay less for a chancellor, you
can, but you will get a man
worth just what you will pay
him."
In explaining his vote against
the bills, Representative Warren
Erwin said "this is just a feud
between Dick (Neuberger) and
the chancellor," but Neuberger
heatedly dpnied this, asserting "I
hardly know the chancellor at all.
Mr. Erwin just doesn't know any
thing about this."
