EXPLANATIONS OF VOTE.

SI would like to support the appropriations necessary
for the various educational and other State institutions,
and I regret the necessity of voting against an appropria-
tion bill, but I must vote nay on this bill because of its
inequalities in the matter of salary raises, and its, to my
mind, injustice to the taxpayers, after the latter had been
led to expect lessened taxation burdens.
W. A. MacKENZIE,
Lake County.

I vote "No" on the passage of this bill, because its pro-
visions are so extravagant as to mean increased taxes. Also,
because, there are so many inequalities in the increases
granted. Therefore, believing that it is not only unreason-
ably extravagant, but entirely unfair, I must vote "No."
H. S. McKENZIE,
Putnam.

4653

I vote "No" on this bill, believing that such increase of
salaries and appropriations are not in accord with eco-
nomy.
T. C. DOUGLASS.

Mr. Davis moved that the rules be waived and that
House Bill No. 1 be certified to the Senate without en-
grossment.
