Wedding Expenses Estimated from
Tennessee Standpoint.

Nashville American.
In spite Of the fact that the woman's
departments of various newspapers TEEN
with advice to brides on how to get cheaply
married, and estimates of the cost of trOus-
seaux, the everlasting truth remains that
the real financial burden of a wedding is
vested in the bridegroom.
He is not an interesting figure at the
wedding all will admit, Just so he is there,
nobody thinks further about him. But he
is the real promoter after ALL because he
pays the price. Woman may dispose about

QUESTION FOR THE COURT.

It seems that there is doubt in the
minds Of many lawyers of the state as
to whether or not the act providing
for the meeting of the Legislature in
June instead of October is constitu-
tional and the point is made that steps
ought to be taken at once to have the
matter brought before the Supreme
Court The point is well taken. There
is no use going ahead legislating and
spending the peoples money when
there is some ground for thinking that
by so doing time and money would be
wasted and the states affairs involved
in serious complications.
BY changing the time of the meet
ing of the Legislature eight months
are added to the terms of all state Of
ficers and an additional session must
be held by this General Assembly. If
the session should last for the full
term of fifty days. and the probability
is it would the cost to the state would
be over s67 ,OOO And what would the
taxpayers get for this large outlay?
AS far as anybody can see, they would
get absolutely nothing
1t is certain that there is nothing
in the constitution that justifies an
increase in the terms of the State
House officers or the holding of three
regular terms of any Legislature instead
of two. 1t may be that there is moth
ing in that instrument that expressly
forbids these things, but, at the same
time, there is nothing that permits
them.
The matter should be taken up at
once and settled. If the Legislature
should meet in June without this point
being determined all Of it's acts might
be called into question, and eventual
ly set aside on the ground of unconsti-
tutionality. 1t seems to be a good deal
of money to spend, anyway-$67, 000-to
accommodate those who would rather
have the Legislature meet in June than
October.
What ought to be done is this: An
amendment ought to be made to the
constitution providing for biennial ses-
sions-for saving $4,000 every two
years. The states financial condition
calls for economy, not extravaganza.
Pretty nearly every other state in the
Union has biennial sessions. Why not
Georgia?
