The LEGISLATURE.

With this issue is presented to the
readers of the Democrat sheet contain
ing the public laws passed by the legis-
lature which closed its labors and adj
journed sine die Friday night. While il
is not practicable at this hour TO make
careful summary of the work that has
been done and left undone bv this legis-
lature, il may be said briefly that the
results Of the session as whole ought
to be satisfactory to the mass Of the
people. The legislature has handled an
immense volume Of business, and while
Of course any man can see, from his own
standpoint, where some mistakes have
been made, still In most cases the wise
thing has been done.
In the matter of taxation, those who
anticipated that our system would be
radically changed, so that most Of US
would have our taxes cut in two while
the railroads and wild land owners
would have the burden laid on them,
will be disappointed. That result has
not been accomplished, nor will it ever
be. But the taxation committee has
labored hard and faithfully, and the
result is seen In a number Of measures
mostly those favored by the State
Grange-increasing the taxes on rail-
roads and other public corporations,
which had before admittedly escaped
their fair proportion of the public bur-
den. These measures will provide the
state with the additional revenue which
is absolutely required.
While the appropriations made are
larger than those of two years since, a
portion of them were made necessary by
the action of previous legislatures; and
this legislature can not fairly be accused
of recklessness or extravaganza in spend
ing the peoples money. The expendi-
lures have been scrutinized with much
more than usual care, and disposition
to 60 slow has been manifest.
