Tuesday.
BY far the most interesting feature
of Tuesdays proceedings in the Legis.
lnture was the discussion in the
House over the bill introduced by Mr..
State furnish each member with one daily
newspaper The first move was made by
Mr.. Miller of Shelburue who moved to lay
the resolution relating to two daily news
! papers on the table last Wednesday. The
! House voted TO make the resolution a
! special order for this afternoon, but it was
not long afterWard when Mr.. Dustin of
! Craftsbury introduced resolution that the
! State furnish each member with one daily
paper. a lengthy discussion followed.
! Mossrs Darling of Cholsca and Marshall Of
| i}rattieboro opposed the resolution
on the ground OF economy and that
tho State ought not 10 be expected
to pay for papers for tho members.
On the other hand Mr.. Robinson Of Barton
| thought that the newspapers We're the only
source from whence the membors could get
all the news of the session and for that rea-
son they were entitled to them. Mr. Chat
fey OF Albany said his constituents were
/ willing to pay their share toward providing
one paper Tor each desk. Mr. Thompson Of
lrasburgh said the question was not one of
the States ability to pay, neither was it
one of economy. 1t was just as fitting shat
the State should pay for newspaper con
tanning the report of the legislative pro
ceejugs as for printing the bills that were
/ introduced Mr.. Dustin said newspapers
were part of the machinery OF the work
