While the fight today was only on
suspending the rules on the emergen-
cy appropriation, enough feeling was
shown to indicate that a big fight is
on. With the contest against the gyp-
sy moth appropriation, that against the
same for the brown tail moth together
with the proposed abolition of the state
highway commission, there is promise
of merry times before the legislature
adjourns.
The question Of abolishing the pres
ent cattle commission ia also full of
promise of a fight.
