characteristic speeches on the economy
phase of the matter. He said in part:
You people who have been opposing this
bill talk economy, but you do not prac-
tice it. The hire for clerks and employees
of this house for the Sixth legislative
assembly in 1901 was s66s2. The clerk
hire for the present assembly, 1858. is slI,-
172. The Edmond Normal only received
$lS,S00 in appropriations and this amount
is just SIPS more than paying for the
clerks and the employees of this house. -

the measure when it reaches him.

ming of the end, and from this time on,
everything will be hurry and hustle in
legislative halls. Both branches Were in
