The closing scene Of this session was
in true wing style. In almost the last
moments Of the session, a bill was intro.
duced by a wing member from this city
to incorporate the Real Estate Bank d
Clinton; some half dozen other real estate
banks were tackled on to it and passed
The bill did not get through The
Senate. Another bill had passed TO pro
hibit unauthorized banking which awaited
only the signature Of the Governor 10 be-
come a law. Finding the real estat.
bank could not be incorporated, but woul.
be suppressed by the bill to prevent unau
thorized banking, another wing membe
put this bill in his pocket and thus pre-
vented It's becoming law.
It should here be remembered that tn
majority Of the house Of Representatives 0
the last legislature was wing; and in tn
senate, where the shinplaster measure
failed, the majority was democratic.
