O Purely Economical Basis
in the Legislature.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21.—From
purely practical and economic stand
point, a hard fight will be waged In
the legislature this summer for bl-
enntel sessions.
Advocates of tho blennlel idea will
put forth one argument, and will
sttek to It, catling on tbe people of
the state to back them up, and ex
press to their representatives their
desire on the subject
Blennlel sessions, It will be argued,
will save the people of Georgia be
tween 935,000 and 240,000 at leaat
every year. On thla g'round the
fight will be made. The ieglalatora
who want blennlel sessions are in
the minority now. They cannot win
unless they get the help of tbe pub
lic, for most of the senators and leg
islators want to come to Atlanta at
tbe atata'a expense just as often xi
they can, and will keep on eomlng
until their own eonstltutenta make It
plain to them that once every two
years Is often enough.
