A Queer Phrase of Law Making.

An examination OF two of the vouch-
ers Of The Contiugen, Expense Fund of
the House Of Representatives, ct Coium-
bus, developes a startling snd at the
same time ludicrous aspect of law maxi
ing The statesmen had great deal OF
use for sponges. The item "spcnges"
occurs fifteen times and cost $500.
What we would like TO know and what
the tax payers would like to know is,
why the state should pay for those
sponges, or why the Henbers should
have sponges at all Were these real
sponges 7 Did not .he members expend
the peoples money for something else
tina, wouidn't look well in print and have
i, charged 10 "sponges ?" Quite likely.
Then there was an excessive expendi-
ture OF the farmers tax money for shoe
blackiDg, hrusbes and "daute,s." In
this list there are thir,y.ohe items rang
ing in price from rs ceLts up 10 $500.
A number of pertinent Inquiries rise in
connection with this exhibit as well as
10 The case of 'sponges The Repre-
sen,stives needed the polishing, but was
it necessary 10 charge the State With

For soap and sapolio, $3.50 is char.

II The s,ptesmsn made use oil these Is

ured why all the f,r going articles had
TO be charged to the State. Common
sense and common honesty would say
that all these articles should he paid Tor
