Last Hours Of tho Swipers!

The dying scenes of the state legis-
lature were the most disgusting ex-
hibitions OF human depravity ever
witnessed among the abettors of
crime in this corrupt age.
During the long hours of the night
with whisky enthused and rotten
ness in power, the action of men in
the lower House was revolving and
disgusting. There were few men
WHO sought to stay the tide-but
they were weak. Stockwell would not
be browbeaten, and Gildea and
Moore and Currier, and we presume
Others were indignant. At last, to
crown the infamy, in the Sunday
morning hours, these
SPECIMEN LAWMAKERS
punched their bills, as gardeners do
onions, and voted for them by the
dozen. Bill after bill was slung into
the pot, and then one vote taken for
all. The man who says such a vote
is legal-or that such bills are laws,
is demented. Such a farce dishonors
the nation-it dishonors civilization.
No language can express the out
rage.

When everything else failed to
yield enough robbery from the state
they invented this scheme: There is
an engrossing clerk and an assist
ant. They should do the engrossing.
That is what it is tor. But the en-
crossing writing up the bills passed,
on a record) is not done by them.
Louis Hanson did a fair amount of
work in placing bills on record. But
he had nothing for his assistant to
do, and told him so. Both received

waste. Now comes in the music.
Clerk Van Duzee takes the bills, and
has them engrossed by the foio-per

FORTY DOLLARS A DAY! This is q
clear grab. But that is not all. Did
not every member get his pocket
knife-presented by the clerk! Did
the clerk present a bill to the state
for 1925 for this cutlery? And were
not these 75c. knives invoiced at
$500 each!
But this is not all for the sod
shanty taxpayer to read. There
are two Enrolling Clerks for each
house. Each set of two clerks are
supposed to do the work. But they
don't. The work is let out by the
Enrolling Clerk at 15c. folio. Of

Where is That Standing Rule of the
House.
That Followed the Break of the Cur
rier r. R. Bill?

Last week the Private Secretary to
Speaker Champlin not only defended
Speaker Champlin's singular ruling
that a majority of all the members,
present or absent, was required for
subsidiary motions he also said
that the House had adopted a stand
ing rule to back up the decision.
That decision was hostile to the Cur
rier R. R. bill and broke it's back!
Now where is that rule? On Thurs
day night the House for the first
time got move on itself, and passed
the Australian Ballot bill. For that
bill was moved a valuable amend
ment requiring voters to put a cross
after each candidate TO be voted for.
The republicans had the good sense
to see the move OF the people against
party -straight-ticket rule, and sus-
tanned the amendment. The demo-
Gratis, together with Furlong, Doyle,
Cantleberry; Lewis, Mcclure, Wells,
Wright and Richardson voted
against it. It was the most closely
joined issue OF the session-and the
alliance voted with the republicans
with the above exceptions.
Now comes the peculiar point. The
vote stood 81 to 40 on this amend
ment. 1t was carried. This crushed
the shouting democrats and set the
republicans and alliance men, into
volcanic eruption Of Joy. A dozen
democrats rose to proclaim against
the decision as So votes were a ma
jority. But Reeve maintained that
So votes were not required, rule or no
rule, to pass an amendment
So then it requires So votes simply

Was it q Dodge?

On the passage of the Australian
Ballot law in the House Furlong, of
Mower County, voted against the bill
according to the daily press. At the
same time his name does not appear
among the voters!-in any of the
lists! He was there. He voted
against the amendment requiring a
cross after each name voted for. He

to reconsider bill, but to make laws
it only requires a majority of those
present. This washes the starch out
OF that header on the Currier bill.
The ruling was backed up with some
references, and then the bill as amend
ed came to a vote.
On the vote on the bill itself sever
al alliance men whipped hastily
around and voted "aye." Cantleber-
ry, Lewis, Richardson, Wells and
Wright thus changed. Furlong, and
Doyle, and Mcclure voted against
the bill. 1t carried by 90 to SO.

Lest some good alliance brethren
may still think DR.. Fish took the
"Reporters' Fee," we will again
state that this office did not take
one cent of it--and did, actually, per-
sonally oppose it. AS to Mrs. Fish,
our reporter, she acted according to
our instructions in the matter: do
nothing whatever TO aid the bill-if
it passes, and the city press get any
pay you may take it yourself on
your own personal account if you so
decide--not one cent must go into
this business" We were opposed to
the bill, as every one intimate with
us knows-and if we had it to do
over again would not even permit
our reporter to take it. But Mrs.
Fish was there every day until last
weeks illness, land her place has
since been filed and she never drew
a dollar of salary from the G. w.,
though we hired a new bookkeeper in
her place. We regret the matter
very much, and the circumstances
we're unusual. So anxious were we
lest we should be misunderstood
that we sent word to a Senator with
whom our reporter had simply asked
how he was going to vote, stating
that we upheld him in voting
against it. We are opposed to such
votes, and hope that the state will
hereafter provide other means than
newspaper reporters for such infor-
nation.
