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.
