The New York Assembly favors biennial sessions It appears that, in 2S of our 38 states, legislative sessions are now held oaly every otiier year; and that change to tie bi- ennial plan is under consideration in three of the remaining ten-one of the three being Con- necticut. We have been inclined to favor the biennial plan, though we toresee some objec- tionable features: the way of reform is retard- ed there is likely to be less rather than more corruption, in elections where longer term of office is secured, and in legislatures whose wrong decisions on measures of importance will not be open to speedy reversal our great corporations will the more readily keep control of legislation; and the voice of the people will be less regarded by bodies of men, the length of whose term of office is doubled. On the other hand, there will be some great adyantag- es there will be less crude work done legis- lators will sit long enough to obtain some ex- perience, and to make some practical use of the experience they acquire; there will be less shifting about of dog laws, education laws, tax laws and other fruitful subjects of legis- lative change; and there will also be some saving of expense. and some relief from too frequent election settlements.
