eight bills were passed by the. Legislature

local nature. half a dozen criminal courts

increasing that for State school Pur-
poses. The aggregate tax is left uDchang-
ed, the only change being made in the pur-
poses for which the taxes are levied. Three
sevenths-almost one-half-of the entire
amount Of taxes collected by the State will
90 to the support Of the free schools while
only twenty cents on the one hundred dol
lars valuation will be used for general pur-
poses.
Another important law was the repeal
of the married women's law of 1891 and the
substitution for it of the law Of 1868, max
ing the married woman the same as an I'M
married one as regards her separate rights
and property"

mentioned: To prevent the employment Of
