The session of ch legislature Is near
Its end. mi l the most Important matters
ye! remain to be anted upon The appro
priation bill has passed the House, but
the Senate will not have as much time
So consider ll'its It ought to have. Ttie
bill ought to have been In the Senate ten
lavs ago. It is the understanding that
It rxtrrles n larger amount than the
tat< s Income. Of course, a condition of
tCTnlrs like shat will have to lx avoided,
be,-ausa the state cannot afford to have
a drtlclency. A deth-.ency would serious
ly hurt the state's credit.
It ts undoubt.dly true that the depot
bill has taken up cons! tenable time. It
t:. an Import anl measure, and should he
given careful consideration. The trouble
u. here was too much delay In taking It
up. and when a vote was finally taken
■i|H*n It as many as thirty of the nn-m
-- rs. It has b-x-n slated, were not In their
places. They had gone to dinner, al
though It was pretty certain that a vote
on the bill would soon he reached. If
they ha 1 attended strictly to their duties
the depot bill would now, In ull proba-
Idllty. be In the S mite. Indeed ;hat branch
of the la'gtslainrs might have disposed
of tt by this lime.
There ts talk to th* efTeet that there
will have to be an extra session It ts
er'nln that the people would not ap
prove anything of that kind. Fifty days
, ach year ts certainly time enough for ail
the legislation needed for this state In
deed. (t would be better from every point
>f view If there were but one session of
fifty, or even forty, doys every two yisrs.
There U too much mon-y spent for legis
lation If aesslons were shorter and 1-na
rreipient she numbers of the l.gislature
would attend more cl, srly to their duties
They would not tli nk l necessary to leave
