MORE than nine thousand bills have al
ready been introduced into the forty
ninth congress; more than seventy two
hundred in the house alone. Yet there
are no signs of the end of this session,
and next December more bills will be in
order. Perhaps one in hundred OF
those thus far introduced may become
laws. 1t seems waste OF time to accu-
mulate such quantity of material with
which TO block the files of committees
and overload the calendars But it
would be less harmless use of time to
pass the greater part of these measures.
