a SESSION Of the Legislature is lin
tied by the act of Assembly of 1874 to
150.days ut per diem salary Of $40 to
each member. Although the act refer
red to contemplated a session of only
100 days, it contains prOUisO which has
had the uniform effect of extending the
sessions to $50 days, and will always
produce the same result until the act is
repealed and another substituted in its
place. Seventy-five or one-half of 15C
days have passed away since the present
Legislature met, with very little, if any
work of the session than heretofore, and
the newspapers of both parties are in
dulging in their usual complaints about
its criminal waste of time and its
shameless neglect to stay at Harrisburg
and attend to the business for which it
was elected. The curse of this as well
as Of former Legislatures, is the prac-
tice of adjOuTning from Friday at noon
to the following Monday evening, which
practically reduces the work of a week
to three days and one half, retards bust
ness and prolongs the session to its full
limit andeT the act of 1874 accompanied
with full pay. II the members wnen
they leave their homes for Harrisburg
would do as Grover Cleveland did when
he left Albany for Washington, that is
to say, if they would refuse free railroad
passes and pay their own fare like he
did, and when they reached Harrisburg
return their their passes to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, there would
be no adjOurnments such as we have
been speaking of, nor would the session
last $50 days Another reason why
sessions Of $50 days are the rule and not
the exception, is because the new Con-
stitutiOn most unwisely3 doubles the
adds II more members to the Senate,
thus forcing an entirely unnecessary
number of members into each house
thereby retarding legislation and en-
failing a frightful loss of time. If the
clause in the Constitution increasing
the number OF members in the two bran
ches could have been voted for separate
ly from the rest of the instrument, it
would have been defeated. As the
whole or none Of it had to be swallowed,
the increase clause, of course, was
adopted. Is Cambria county and every
other county in the State having near
her population any better represented at
Harrisburg by two members than they
would be by one Not bit of it, and
until the salary act is changed, the in
creased membership clause swept out OF
the Constitution and free railroad pass
es withheld from the members, the Leg
islaJures of the future will do as they
have done in the past, and as the pres
ent one is certain to do, consume 15C
days, waste Oue-third of the time. pock.
ct their daily pay and mileage, as well
as more than one-balf Of the amount
allowed for postage stamps and station
cry, and then return to their cou5titu-
ents and ask to be given another
chance.
