it was advisable that the investiga

State Officials Lose
Salary Increase When
Governor Vetoes Bills
Visions of Increased pay for
state officials went glimmering
Tnesday when Governor Pierce
vetoed all bills of this nature.
Only two salary J increases have
been approved so far, one for the
justices of the supreme court and
the other for district attorneys.
Bills vetoed yesterday were H.
B. No, 259, increasing j the salary
of the state treasurer and secre
tary of state from $4500 to $5400
and for the attorney general from
$4000 to $5000 a, year; H. B. No.
239, for the food' and dairy com
missioner from. $3000 to $3600 a
year, and H. B. No. 445 for the
state .engineer- from $3600 to
$4600 a year. ! j .
In explanation of the vetoes,
Governor Pierce made the follow
ing statement: ; f :
"I have been called upon to ap
prove or disapprove a number jot
bills increasing the salaries of
state officials. I' have taken the
position that the judiciary Is a
separate department of our. gov
ernment and have looked; with
favor upon reasonable increases of
salaries for judicial positions. .We
should hold in high respect and
esteem judges of the circuit and
supreme court, those who study
and determine judicial questions
Attorney General Rules
; Against HB No. 413 Be-
cause Title Defective
Provisions of the state consti-
tution are violated In the title and
textof If. B. No. 413. providing
revenue for the maintenance of
the highway system, according to
an opinion written Tuesday by
Attorney 'General . Van Winkle in
response to a request made by
Governor Pierce'. ' Whether he
would veto or approve the meas
ure was not stated by the gover
nor. More than "one subject is
covered, ; the attorney general's
opinion pointed out. . ' ;
The bin seeks to ir.c-cr.so the
fees of motor busses a.f! trucks
and to. apply the same regulation
to delivery trucks operating In a
radius greater .than five miles
from thelplace: of business by
which they are employed. v
In quoting the constitutional
provision, the opinion by Attorney
General Van Winkle pointed out
the following:
"Every act shall embrace but
one subject, and matters properly
connected therewith,1 which sub
ject shall be expressed in the title.
But if any subject shall be em
braced in an act which shall not
be expressed in jlhe title, such act
shall be rold only as to so much
thereof, as' shall not be expressed
in the title. I r 1
"An examination of the title and
text of the act j under consideration,-
says the i opinion, "reveals
clearly that this provision of the
state constitution is violated,, by it
in that it contains provisions on
two or mora subjects, and at least
two subjects are expressed in tie
title. One is: 'To provide revenue
for the use, maintenance, repair
and construction of public high
ways .f by Imposing a charge
upon motor vehicles. The other
is: 'Providing for the supervision
and regulation of such motor ve
hicles, and the operation thereof.-
- .' ' f - -
"It also Includes, as germane to
the foregoIng,suhjects, the raisins
of revenue to defray the cost of
administering the- act and confer
ring, jurisdiction over such mat
ters upon the public service com
mission, and other objective pro
visions. That these are separate
and distinct subjects cannot .well
be doubted. The first is a revenue
measure, while the. latter is an. ex
ercise of the police power and not
necessarily or properly related to
each other, consequently, if either
Is taken as the subject of the act
the other .cannot be considered
germane to It." t . .
House Bill No. 21, a companion
measure, imposing a 50 per cent
increase in, fees on peddlers ve
hicles, was signed by the governor
yestorday.- , , . . ...
7 FANATICS KILLED
MANILA, March .4 (By the
AP.) Seven fanatics;- known as
Solorums, were killed near San
Jose, province of Nueva Eclja, in
a fight with "constabulary. ' Three
of the constabulary were wound-
from their. first Inception to the
court of last ; appeal.. Judges
should be chosen impartially, from
among the ablest trained lawyers,
without regard to political affiliar
tions. Salaries . paid to judges of
the - circuit and supreme , courts
should be sufficient to place them
above pecuniary want and above
the desire to engage in business or
even invest their savings In busi
ness ventures. For these reasons
I have favored the increase of the
salaries of judges. I also favor
an Increase in the salaries .of the
district attorneys of the various
counties, as I believe that we will
have better law enforcement if the
legal representatives of the state
are better paid.
"I realize the fact that a good
state official at the head of a de
partment deserves a good salary.
I believe it is a general principle,
however, that salaries for state of
ficials should be increased, not for
the benefit of the. one who is in
office, but for the future incum
bent. When a man has made an
active campaign to be elected to a
certain office : and is elected, he
should be satisfied for the . full
term with the salary provided by
law at the time he became a can
didate." -

WASHINGTON, March 3. The
68th congress which came in two
years ago like a roaring wind Is
passing out with one of the tam

i Neither house was in session to
night something almost .unheard
of on the eve of adjournment sine

the second deficiency bill there is
little for either to do jn the hours
they will be in session before the
Inauguration proceeds at noon to
morrow.
- While the house faced the end
today with an utter lack of fea
tures there was much confusion
and acrimonious debate in the
senate and the day's session closed
at 6:45 p. m. with two "lame
ducks" locked , in , disagreement
over omnihua pension measure
and blocking, consideration of any
other, matters. . . .
' During the day all farm-aid le

card along with the; Underwood
Muscle Shoals leasing bill, the Mc-

more of railroad measures of vari
ous kinds and a great raft of mis

bridge bills to a $150,000,000 pub

There was an eleventh-hour ef

a farm bill the modified McNary-

bate which furnished amusing and
dramatic, incidents for, the crowds
in the galleries and on the floor,

Many bills did get through and
not a few were offered although
there was no hope of their passage
and all must die with this congress.-,

The house by an overwhelming
vote attached the public buildings
bills as a rider to the deficiency
measure, only to be forced later to
cast it aside when the senate sent
the appropriation bill back to con

manager to insist against the In
clusion of the rider. .
Before the house took the next
to the last legislative step on the
deficiency bill it was announced
that the senate would secede to
morrow at . its. session beginning
at 10 a. m., from its. original rider
proposing an appropriation of $$,
000,000 for public buildings here

Such action would make the meas

Development of the state nor

covering various - appropriations
having been signed Tuesday by
Governor Pierce.
Chief of these is the $175,000
appropriation for the Ashland

been erected for this purpose but
the school was discontinued sev
eral years ago. In view of the
need for more teachers -and the
lack of facilities at Monmouth, It

his citizens, he will take the oath,
of office at the. east entrance to
the capitol on the bible from
which he was instructed at hia
grandmother's knee, .will declare
his convictions in a brief inaugur
