"News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 HOUSE FOLLOWS SENATE IN VOTING INCREASE IN PAY: NOW IT’S UP TO COOLIDGE Members Decline To Take Roll Call Vote But Measure Is Pass- ed By Standing Bal- lot, 237 to 93. This Is First Boost in Salary Since 1907 — Large Membhership Out! to Act.on This Proposal. ’ Washington, Feb. 20.—The pro- posal to increase the salaries of members of congress already passed by the senate, was approved also to- day by the house. Unless vetoed by President Cool- ldge, it will become effective on March 4 next. Besides increasing the salaries of representatives and senators from $7.500 to §10,000 a year, it provides that the speaker of the house, the vice-president and cabinet members shall receive $15,000 instead of $12,- | 000 a year. Inserted by the senate in a pend- ing appropriation bill, the salary provision was accepted by the house by a standing vote of 237 to 93, Ef- forts to force a roll call which would have placed every member on rec- ord individually, failed. The senate, too, had acted without a record vote. Postponement Voted ‘Down Repregentatiye Black, democrat, Texas, proposed that the salary in- crease be postponed two years but his amendment was rejected 278 to 62, A futile effort was made by Rep. resentatlve Cannon, democrat, Mis- souri, to have the provision thrown out entirely on a point of order, on the ground,that house rules pro- hibit & member from voting himself an Increase in pay. Overruling this contention, Speaker Gillett held that the yule was in confiict with the constitution, which he said, gave congress the right to fix the salarics of its members. Menibers Are On Hand. Preliminary to the shert debate, & polnt of no quorum was made, and 366 members were brought to the floor—perhaps the largest number present at any time during (Le pres- ent seasion. Under the rules had not a quorum been maintained a roll call vote on the salary provision would have been automatic and pro- ponents of the increase kept their forces on the floor. Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, nevertheless demanded a roll cally bhut failed to obtain a second from the reqiired one-fifth of the members present. About fifty foined him in the roll call. demanl, but the minimum required was about 70. The salary Increase is the first voted by congress for itself since 07, when the annual pay of epa- tors and representatives was fn- creased from $5,000 to the present tigure. Specches In Favor, Brief speeches in favor of the in- crease were made by Chairman Madden of the appropriations com- mittee and Representatives Snyder .and Mills, New York; Tilson, Con- necticut, republicans, and Johnson, democrat, Kentucky® Opposition was expressed, by Representativés Byrne, Tennessee: Crips, Georgia; Black, Texas; Rankin, Mississippl; Blanton, Texas; democrats, and Mc- Yaughlin, republican.

MAY COMPROMISE ON ANNEXATION PROJECT Hall Opposed to Newington Children Being Edu- cated Helje Senator Edward F. Hall is con- sidering a proposition which may be submitted to the legislature as a compromise measure in the move- ment to annex a part of the town of Newington to the City of New Britain, which bill now earries a “rider” that, in the event of the annexation, Newington high school pupils will be admitted to N. B. H. 8. without a tuition charge to the town of Newington. 1In its present form the bill is said to be certain of defeat, and is not expected to come out of commitiee with a favorable report. Represen tative E. W. Pape ot Newington, and Represgntative F. O, Rackliffe and B. W. Alling of this city, have already expressed themselves as op- posed. Senator Hall's proposition is this He feels the assessment books of the town should be consuited to deter- | mine what percentage of the entire assessed value is represented in the strip of land between the and Clayton crossing, and when this is found, have the city of New Brit- ain assume the same percentage of the present town debt. It is assum ed that the strip of land is expected eventually to pay off its proportion ate share of the town debt. Under the Hall proposal, the town of New- ington loses nothing and the city of New Britain gains nething other than a slight extension of territory. Senator Hall, who is also chairman of the city board of finance and taxation and in close touch with pos- sible school needs of the immediate future, is particularly anxious to have the pr of the bill. he town will send about 63 pupis to the High school a year. With an average cost of $100 per pupll, the tuition income would be reduegd by $6,300. provides for this arrangement for an indefinite period of years, and the likelihood is that the number of Newington puplls will increase, The loss of tuition is not, howevér, [the most serious objection, Senator (Continued on Page 26) \FOX FARMER IN FAR NORTH IS HEIR TO LARGE FORTUNE But He Must Marry By 1930, Visit Father’s Place of : Death in South Africa and See Mother’s Birthplace in India—Then He Gets $648,000 Estate.
