THE WEATHER Unsettled THIRTY-NINTH YEAR THE BISMARCK ‘TRIBUNE! LAST EDITION | Meni ee BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1920 PRICE FIVE CENTS RQUALITY FOR STATE OFFICE WORKERS, PLAN Budget Board to Recommend Standardization of Salaries, It Is Said : THE PRUNING KNIFE ‘Appropriations Being Slashed— Visits Made to Insti- i tutions Standardization of salaries of clerks and stenographers in the various of- fices in the statehouse is to be recom- mended by the state budget board. It is expected that the board or the gov- ernor, in hig message, will stronBly urge the legislature to govern appro- pejations so as to edualize pay among the employes. Under present conditions salaries for clerical help, to some extent at least, are fixed by departmental heads. Hither the legislature will be asked to fix them or to standardize them. The budget board, which is spend- ing most of its time visiting institu- tions, is preparing to use the pruling knife freely on appropriations. Travel expense, in particular, is to be re- duced, it is said. : Anticipating general reduction in prices many salaries will be lowered to nearly the pre-wartime point. One employe was much exercised when he learned that his salary was to be cut to the same figure that obtained in 1914. Scale for Typists Salaries for stenographers will be $100 and $125 a month, it is under- stood, with’ $125 4a month salaries limited to a small number. A large Dumber of stenographers now receive $125 a month und several receive $150 per month. The appropriation recommended by the state auditor for the 18th legisla- tive embly, 1921-1925, is to be cut from a total of $130,000 to $102,000, it is probable. Mileage and per diem recommendations of the state auditor were tentatively cut from $64,000 to $55,000; for employes of the legisla- ture from $30,000 to $20,000, and mis- cellaneous expense from $8,000 to $7,000.
