WHATTHE MEMBERS SAY
One or Two Ways TO End the Deadlock
At Helena.
SOMEONE HAS GOT 70 YIELD


sHs
Taking the longest adjournment the law
allows. A good many of them are heartily
sick of the business. "For my part" re-
marked John X. Toole, one of Deer
Lodge delegation, ~ am heartily sick of
trotting back and forth to Helena in this
profitless way. There is an amount of
business demanding attention, but all
plans to get u legitimate work

that are pending seem tn o~vershadow all
other considerations. In my opinion
there should he chosen ont of each house
n working majority. say Is or - republic
cans and the Same number of democrats.
III the proposition is a. yield something all
round. these men could bc selected with
out very great trouble. The governor and
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS should agree in
advance ON the measures that remand at
would be from five to- ten
measures all told-and all members
should know from the first that these are
exclusively the issues to he disposed of. IL
snuid be oprcauI u,nn ,H and "e, tha,
the representatives at Helena are broad
enough and fair enough, To put some such
plan through. Otherwise ! think ovVvy
man there ought tn agree tn pack up and
go home"

Now IL one republican were to retire that
would give each party twenty-four men

certainly never will join them ON any such

we cannot tell now the political situa-

cs~ary neasnrrs, Lieutenant Governor
Richards said: ~ think there il no likcli-
hood of "a speedy adjournment. i haven
sounded the views of the senators on the
talk with item ON my last hasty trip Ia
Helena. But my personal belief Is that
there will tie mo adjournmcnt for some
time. The reason why | think so is the
great need of Legislation on certain mat
tcrs. The Legislature should not all
journ until the decision of the su.
which is the rightful house. How
ever the decision is rendered, wh'th.r
cans, there il important legislation to he
done, and there should In. NO adjourn
mcnt until this is accomplished: Mo-
important is the Legislation for the p.ui
Tertiary and the insane asylum. | an
informed that Their is no existing con
tract with Drs. Mu-sigbrod and Mitchell
only "A verbal agreement. ! don't know
whether this is true, but If il is true, j
shows the urgent need OF lc2isiation
