New Orleans, March 2o, 1877.
To the Honorable Speaker and Members of the
aouse of Representatives of the lstate of
Louisiana:
Ien'emlen- Your Committee on Judialary

7avorsbly on senate bill No. 11, "'An act to

app roves Marsh 9, 1870."

Your committee beg leave to ret ort the on
closed amendments to House bill No. 226.
1. F. JONAS, Chairman,
Mr. Lyons presented the following minority
report:
I reluctantly dissent from the favorable re
port of the majority of the Judiciary Committee
on the joint resolution appropriating nineteen
hundred and twenty dollars. by way of ex
tra compensation for the regular session, to the
chairman of the Committees on Enrollment
and Contingent Expenses of the two houses of
the General Assembly.
I think the resolution violates article 39 of the
conrtitutlon, whi,"h pro iibits any alteration of
compensation to members of the General As
sembly, to take effect during the time of the
House of Representatives, by whi'h such alter
ation shall have been made. This article is
equally prohibitive of an increase ot compensa
tion to four members, as it is of an increase to
a greater number, for if increased compensa
tion can be constitutionally made to any one
ember, increased compensation to any
amount can be constitutionally made to any
member, or to all of the members.
The labors of these heads of committees are
only incidental of the r membership of the Gen
eral Assembly; and the duties imposed by these
positions of honor, and trust, are only a portion
of their duties as legislators. A I i:it compen
sation is paid by the State for the whole of the
time, and the whole of the services of each and
every member of the General Aseembly.and any
device by which a double reward shall be bestow
ed is an evasion of a constitutional Iprohibition,
and a violation of an fmplied contract. I have
failed to find any written precedents for the
vicious practi ae of distinguishing certain mem
bers of the General Assembly by double com
pensation, except such as may be found in the
legislation of the past eight years and then in
sueh proximity to. and so commingled with the
most, flagrant and flagitious schemes for pub
lic plunder; that the gravest suspicions of their
lealtimacy and honesty are necessarily aroused.
To say the least I think it unwise to follow in
the footsteps of those who have brought the
State to ruin, the people to bergary, and the
name of legislator into just reproach and con
tempt. I therefore recommend that the joint
resolution do not pass.

On the final passage of the bill. Mr. Bridger
called for the yeas and nays, as follows:
Before the roll was called Mr. Lea asked anti
obtained leave to explain his vote, as follows:
I am opposed to the imposition of any taxes
upon the hill parishes to support the levees.
Judging of the frture by the past, I believe that
I would be justified in concluding that while the
tax is levied to support the levees, in fact and in
truth it goes to the support of the Louisiana
Levee Company.
I have voted against this bill upon the motion
to adopt it on its second reading and on the va
rious motions to suspend the rules, because it
embodied this principle.
Now that the bill is placed upon its final pas
sage, as it relieves my constituents of 1Vi mills
'f the three mill tal-a tax which I consider
unjust and oppressive-I sha'l vote in the affr
mative.
