plorable state Of affairs. At present
the statutes provide 40 means OF put

quired 10 administer them and others

There can be no doubt that the con
sttutOnal provisions permitting acts TO
be gwen immediate effect was intended
TO be taken advantage of only in cases
of absolute necessity, bat of late years
the doctrine of scratching one another :
back has obtained t0 such an extent
among members of tne Legislature that
tins privilege is beng wOofully abused.
The habit developed TO such an extent
during the session OF 1887 that halt
was called, but this year no one gave
the matter attention, and the result
was that of the 277 laws contained IN
the volume of public acts of 1889 ex-
actly POO were given immediate effect,
and il is only now that the distribution
of the public acts IS completed.
