that the criminal action against Preza and

lie NOT ECONOMY. WHAT2

The fredericksburg FREE LANCE says
that it has been assured by MIR. Boar,
Chairman of the Finance Committee OF
the House OF Delegates and a prominent
member of the Constitutional COnven-
ton, that the movement toward quad
rennial sessions is not in the interest OF
economy"
OF course, economy in this connection
il Of uncertain meaning. session OF the
Legislature might save to the people.
who pay the taxes, many times the cost
of the session. In that case it would he
economy to hold the session at whatever
the cost. Ii we understand The FREE
LANCE and Mr.. Boaz however, the conten-
ton of the latteris that quadrennlal SEES
sions will actually cost the state as much
as biennial sessions. This is a new view
and we should like to see the data upon
which it is based Certainly if quadren-
NAL sessions are not more economical
than biennial sessions, the quadrennlal
scheme falls to the ground OF It's own
weight
By all means. let Mr. Boaz bring for
ward his data. We take no stock IN the
quadrennial session proposition, beliey-
ing that. if more economical than the
present plan, it is in fact false economy.
II it is not even entitled to consideration
on the ground of economy that fact
should be clearly establshed.-Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot.
And wehave not thefaintest doubt
but that Mr.. Boaz can substantiate
his assurances by figures, and feel
confident he will do so. In the mean
time we might figure to the satisfac-
ton ofunbiased minds the contention
of Mr.. Boaz. With quadrennial ses-
sions more than ninety days would
be demanded by the lawmakers to
get a whack at legislation. With
biennial sessions, and the work OF
private bills and local legislation
eliminated, the sessions could Will
ease be sixty days, or less. WITH
ouadrennial sessions not only q
longer sitting would be required but
we would have an occasional extra
session, and maybe two or three o.
them. If our assumption is correct
auadrennial sessions are not in the in
tsrest Of economy.
