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 the hall of the Hou-e or Senate when h vote on on important bill was pending. m • ■ dtnnar hour hsi I rived.
