he does not occupy as much time on
the floor of the house as the gentleman

county, has suspended the permits of

Representative Sherman, of Shawnee
believes that the best bill, providing for
new state buildings, was killed by the
ways and means committee. It was his
bill to build an industrial hall at the
state reform school for boys. It car
ried an appropriation of only $500.
Mr.. Sherman said: "As it is there is
nothing for the boys to do but perform
the little work there is to do on the
farm. They are given the opportunity
to learn no trade and when they get
out they have not been benefited by
learned anything but farming, and if
there is no chance for them to get work
in that line when they are released they
are thrown back on the community to
become criminals"
