If Members will look at this bill they will find in the first few pages the matter of clerk hire for both House and Senate. Under clerical assistants to Senators you will findseventy clerks at $3.300 each. 70 assistant clerks at $1.940 each. 70 assistant clerks at $1.830 each. and provided that such clerks and assistant clerks shall be ex officio clerks and assistant clerks of any committee of which their Senator Is chairman. I notice that the Committee on Immigration in the other body has a clerk at $3.300. an assistant clerk at $2.150. another assistant clerk at $1.830. and an additional clerk at $1.520. all told. four clerks. at a total of $8.830. while the House committee has but one clerk and a messenger at minimum pay. The other body is quite liberal with clerk hire. Its Members need clerks. and they are employed.
