Columbus, O., April 0.--The rush of
work in the General Assembly this
week will be tremendous. Every one
of the Lawmakers has some local bill
or other which he will try to railroad
through the Legislature and there arc
numerous important general measures
upon which 10 action has as yet been
taken. Although there will be deter
mined effect upon the part of certain
scindipg of the resolution providing for
final adjournment on Monday, April
16, 1t will prove unsuccessful. The Sec
ond of the two general appropriation
bills will be considered as a special
order of business in the House ON
Tuesday and will be passed as soon as
possible. The bill will be messaged to
the senate immediately, and there will
be no delay in Its enactment into law.
AS soon as this bill is out of the way,
there will be no very strong argument
against the adjournment. The munici.
pal code bill will come to vote in
the Senate on Tuesday and will prob
ably be passed by the Upper House.
The politicians have succeeded in delay
ing it's consideration SO long that the
members of the House will be saved
the embarrassment Of declaring them
selves upon it. 1.-THE Legislature has
thus missed It's one opportunity Of
doing something which would really
count. Nothing of any general import
ance has been accomplished by the
74th General Assembly.

ial. The bill authorizing the expendi-
ture OF $750,ooo for such purpose is
hanging helplessly in the air, as a
scarecrow hangs in cherry tree an
awful warning that the tree in ques-
.tion, the state treasury, is not to be
rifed.
Now there is plan whereby the ad-
vocates Of the big appropriation hope
to effect compromise. They believe
that they can secure the passage of the
$1,0O0.O00 bill through the Senate, pro-
vided they yield so far as the appoint
ment Of a new commission is concern
ed. They think the House will concur
in the amendment providing for the
appointment of a commission If the
amount is left untouched.
Their hopes are probably groundless,
for, even If such an arrangement could
be agreed upon, even IL the Senate
could be persuaded to authorize the
expenditure Of $1,O0O000, Governor
Nash will positively appoint no one
upon the new commission who does
not pledge himself toagree to the spend
ing Of not more than half the amount
named. His decision seems to Da.
cry member Of the present commission
from receiving a re-appointment, for
each is believed to be In favor of en-
pending as much as possible.

The Office of actuary of the state in
surance department seems to have es-
capped for many years the notice of
ambitious young politicians Of both
parties. The fact that any public Of
fee fails to attract the attention of
those who like to receive good incomes
for comparatively simple work is re-
markable in itself. In this instance,
the absence of interest is little short of
miraculous for the actuary probably
puts into his pocket at least $1,000
per year. j. A. McEwen has acted In
this capacity for the past 13 years,
receiving the appointment again and
again from the different superintend-
ents of insurance. Mr. McEwen has
an Office in this city, but not at the
state house.
The revenue from the office is deriv-
ed entirely from fees. 1t is the actu-
ary's duty to figure out for Massachus-
etts, Canadian and Ohio companies
the amount of Insurance placed by
each upon the lives of citizens of Ohio.
For each $1,000 he places upon his
books he receives one cent. That Is to
say, he is given one cent for every
$1,000 of insurance placed by certain
companies upon the lives Of the people
of Ohio. Some Of the larger corpora.
tions pay him more than $1,000 per
year and it Is estimated that the actu-
ary's entire income is fully seven times
that amount.
Some of the office seekers are Just
awakening to the fact that here is an
opportunity to serve ones state well
worth accepting. Mr.. McEwen will
meet with some opposition when he
asks the new superintendent Of insur.
ance to re-appoint him.
