My colleague, Stella Cutlip, was the
victim of a practical joke when she
introduced the Coco county salary MU
in the House Saturday.
Because such bills are passed us­
ually as a matter of course and are
considered strictly a family affair to
be handled solely by the county «tel­
ega t ion, Mrs. Cutlip, all unouapoct-
ing, made her introduction speech
and sat down confident that the bill
would meet with no opposition.
To her astoniahmedt as well as that
of others who were not in an the gag,
a series of fiery speeches were made
denouncing the bill and deploring the
tendency of county officiate all over
the state to demand higher salaries.
It was stoutly • maintained by the
breast-beating orators that this sort of
chiseling must stop and that the Coos
county Mil was a good place in which
to stop if.
A flood of ’’no’’ votes overwhelmed
the Mil at first but all of the
teai

"nd asked that their votes be
changed to “aye."
Be it said for my. colleague, that
stag smelt a mice when the oratory
took plate and did not fall for the
trick.
It did have'an effect on two resi­
dents of Coos county who watched the
precedings from the gallery. Their
mouths opened a foot until the mem-
tiers changed their' votes. This gag
lias been pulled twice now and is
getting rather old.
Details of the bill have been print­
ed in the daily papers. The salary
raises were a trifle less than those
recommended by the budget commit­
tee but the bracket provisions were
maintained.

Tuesday the House passed a reso­
lution presenting “Shoeless Joe" with
a pair of slippers big enough to cover
the web feet he is alleged to have
grown in the damp climate of his na­

The resolu­
