Everyone is satisfied, or pretends to
be. The speaker and lieutenant gov
ernor have announced their commit |
tees. This is by long odds the most
onerous task devolving upon the pre-
siding officers of the legislative bodies |
There are SO many diverse interests
to be cared for so many personal. |
partisan and geographical claims to
be considered and carefully weighed.
And when, with the most conscien-
tious adjustment and the best advice,
the lists of assignments are announc
ed it would be strange il there were
not many disappointments. But upon
the whole, one hears little except
praise for tie work of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Herriott and Speaker Eaton.
The greater interests of the state have
been placed in competent hands. all
sections of the commonwealth have
received due representation on the
committees which have to deal with
questions of Importance and the new
members have been given good assign
ments where they may fit themselves
for future usefulness.
The selection of committees has al
so satisfied an anxious squad of would
be clerks and graphers-mostly
young men and women who had been
promised places by this or that sena-
tor or representative and who We're
chiefly concerned as to whether their
work was heavy or otherwise. These
various committees will meet and or.
| ganize tomorrow and from that time
on the work will proceed smoothly and
continuously.
