Among the important measure.
which will come up before the pres
ent legislature is the repeal Of the
law authorizing the making Of liens
on growing crops, and, in common
with what we believe to be the gen
eral sentiment Of the State, We hope
it will be stricken from the statutes.
The law should be fixed to become
operative at some time in the future
to enable the people to prepare them
selves for the change, but It should
be passed at this session. This is al
excellent time to do away with it.
The country is in better condition
financially, than it has been for many
years, Che people owe less money,
and even had II gone into effect on
January tst, fewer hardships would
have been the case than in preceding
years. Let the legislature use The
surgeon's'kniie, it vii! benefit the
health Of the State. e.-NNI0o City
