Immediately foot extra session bills for DO
extra session bills can go into a tax levy
until the legislature of 19O0-19O2 meets and
passes an appropriation bill. When Gov
ernor Johnston convened the legislature
he assumed that they We're plutoerats, and
could wait until 1901 for their pay; for he
did not name in his proclamation an extra
session appropriation as one of the things
the extra session could consider. The ex-
ira session cannot pass AN appropriation
bill, and the members cannot be paid until
1901. 1t was unkind in Governor Johnston
to ask the members to do without per
diem and mileage until the new century is
well started, but so the proclamation runs,
and there is no way to get around its biting
limitations. The members of the legisla-
ture will have to serve the public on pri-
waite resources, unless, indeed, they can sell
their time and per diem" to a ''shave"
shop, where large discounts are usually
demanded on long-term paper
