Economy Group Wins Vote Amid Senate Salary Clash
Little Rock February 4 A economy group won a narrow vote victory but sparked a bitter floor fight as Sen Roy Milum Harrison sought to raise the stenographer pay in the state auditor's office from 1200 to 1500 a year. Milum pledged to cut auditor office pay to 1200 amid heated exchanges before Lt Gov Shaver halted the clash with a five minute recess. Milum and others argued 1200 a year was not a living wage in Little Rock and that constitutional officers’ stenographers deserved higher pay. Budget committee proposed keeping the four governor stenographers at 1620 each, while consolidating two 1200 a year auditor jobs into 1500. Auditor Humphries objected, favoring both jobs at current salaries. After more salary bills were withdrawn, Sen Abington Beebe led an enemy bloc drive, pulling Milum allies including Harrison to strike a 3500 refurbishing allowance for the seven Supreme Court offices. As the Senate recessed Milam and bloc drafted new amendments to cut more from the appropriation bill. The Senate voted to appoint five Arkansas Bar Association members to assist land committee on drafting a new state land law.
