F. Nickle, of Kingstol, Was One the Matter--He Moved Against It : : Toronto, Feb. 17.~There are at least four members of the legislature who are opposed to the increase the sessional indemnity from #1, 000 to 31,400, and they are Messrs. Allan Studholme, James McEwing, Valentine Stock, and last, but not least, W. F. Nickle, of Kingston. Mr. Studholme announced yesterday that when he was elected to the | party party his indemnity was $1,000 a year, and he did got "intend io accept any more than $1,000. The oxtea $400, he said, he would either give to charity or return to the gov- ernment. He had the in- crease in the salaries of the ministers without a vote of the people, and he took the same position on the ques. tion of an increase for the members. Mr. Nickle, who strongly opposed any suggestion for am increase at the last session, stood up, yesterday, and announced that he was very sorry that the government had not adopted his suggestion. fe went far as to move that the amount in the estimates to provide for the increase be struck out. tis motion was seconded by | Mr. Merwing, who, declared that if there was to be an increase it should be announced at the last session be- fore an election, to take effect the next year, so that the people 'could diseuss it in the election campaign. Mr. Stock suggested that the prime minister withdraw the amount and let the people vote on the question. These remarks were not very favor ably received hy the other members of the house. Sir James said he was greatly surprised that Mr. Nickle had made his motion. 'The goveen- ment had taken the responsibility for the increase, he declared. MUST OBEY REGULATIONS.
