FEATURE OF WEEKS WORK
An Examination of the House
Calendar and the Showing
Madc-Status of the
Liquor Measure.
Mondays State.

The past week has been rather
an interesting one in the house of
representatives. There have been
several warm debates and full dis
cussions, but the body made very
good headway with its work.
Both the appropriation and supply
bills have been gotten out Of the
way at last, but the Legislative APP
preparation bill has not yet been
sent in.
The house ended the week with
$50 house bills, exclusive Of
great many claims, and 13 special
orders on its calendar. In addi-
tion to this there are some so or
more senate bills, among them
being senate" Hendcrson's county
government measure. awaiting
consideration.
Among the l3 special orders
may be noted the two remaipders
of the last session Mr. Burns
privilege tax bill and Mr. f ID
Smiths bill relating to tuition in
all State colleges Mr. McCul-
lough's bill relating to negotiable
Instruments. which has been par
TALLY discussed; DIR Wyche, aSlui,
teration food, medicine and yliddor
bill, which has been fully DISCUSSED
the substitute bill for Mr. Cages
county government propositions
which has likewise been discussed:
and the prohibition bill, which
the house has gone on record as
refusing to kill. Under the head
of unfinished business is the direct
tax bill of Mr. Garris. In the
long list of second reading blils
"iS hhO@SuiCo WI various KINGS,

So much for the work ahead. It.
need only. be said, that there is
much of. IT yet to bt done. 81
AS tosthe time of, adjournment Mt
sine die,,that is aques,ion of the
greatest uncertainty just at this
particular, time. The house has
enough work ahead of it to keep
it busy Tor some weeks, yet il. it
insists on considering all. that is
before it,, BY hard work an I'D
journment inside of 10 days seems
unlikely. The senate as'adopted
resolution to adjourn ON the 10th
inst. That will be one week from
Wednesday next. When this
resolution came over the house
adonted a concurrent resolution
referring it to joint committee
to investigate and ascertain the
earliest possible day upon which
the general assembly could adjourn
sine die without detriment to the
public interest. This committee
has been appointed, but it will
doubtless wait until the legislative
appropriation bill reaches the
senate before making it's report.
The house early in the week
shut off the introduction of bills
except through chairmen of com
mittees, and it is not thought that
any more other than the necessary
measures will be presented.
The feature of the past week S
work in the house was the vote
on the motion to strike out the
enacting words of the prohibition
bull. The result of that vote was
