By a vote of 112 to 20 the Georgia house of representatives, Tuesday, passed the bill providing for an Increase from $",000 to $3,000 for the crnvorn/?t* Ov ' ??"? A vigorous flght against the measure was made by those opposing it, but they were defeated at every point, and the bill was declared passed by Speaker Morris, after he had had read an opinion regarding the nature of tho vote. Bills providing for Increase of salary of public ofllclals require a two-thirds vote of both houses of tho general assembly, under tho constitution. There was a question involved as to whether this meant two-thirds of all tho members elected to both houses or simply two-thirds of those voting, provided the measure received a constitutional majority. The constitution requires thai all bills providing for constitutional amendments shall receive two-thirds of Um votes of all the members elected to each house, but tho requirement with regard to salary bills is that they shall be passed by a twothirds vote of both houses, and says nothing ubout two-thirds of those elected to either house. Speaker Morris took the latter view of tlio matter ami held that the hill was passed if it received two-thirds of the votes of those voting, providing such two-thirds should he a constitutional majority. He presented many decisions in support of his attitude. Mr. Slaton, of Fulton, made a strong speech in favor of tho passage i)i uitj diii, prusi'nuu;; UKiir< s ironi other states showing that states with far loss population and taxable wealth than Georgia pay their governors from $5,000 to $0,500. Mr. Slaton showed how the present salary was fixed at a time when conditions were very different from what they are now, and that an increase wa? now necessary in order that the governor might properly uphold tho dignity of the state and have sufficient to meet his necessary expenses. Tie said that tVw> governor was eomp lied to spend $1,200 a year for servants and the keep of two horses alone. This would leave him the small sum of $1,800 on which to entertain visiting delegations, associations and officials of the state, city and country. Mr. Slaton hold that these expenses paid, the governor.left his position virtually bankrupt, and in easo of death would leave his family almost desti tlltO. iSIr. Knight, of Berrien, offered an amendment making the amount $4,000 and Mr. Daniel, of Emanuel, wanted to make it $(5,000. BRITISH IRE UNAPPEASED. Russia is Given an Emphatic CallDown and Threats Made.
