No Biennial Sessions.
From Manning Times.

The question of biennial ses-
sions Of the general assembly
will be considered by the voters
at the coming election. This
matter has given politicians Il
taking argument to present to
the people and ON first blush it
does appear in the interest of
economy to do way with annual
sessions, and only have the leg
islature meet once every two
years. When a member Of the
Senate we cast our vote twice in
favor of biennial sessions, and
did so, as we then thought, on
the ground Of economy, but
since then we have studied the
matter more carefully, and OBJ
served the working Of biennial
sessions in other States, and it
has convinced us, the plea OF
economy will not hold good. A
session of the legislature it is
said cost about $50, 900, and un-
der our constitution it is limited
to forty days, but this limit re-
fers only to regular sessions, and
should special sessions be called
they would be unlimited, and
there is no telling where the
cost would GO. Our observation
is, in States where they have
biennial sessions, the cost OF
special sessions is more than the
regular sessions, and instead OF
saving money to the people they
add an additional expense. We
therefore do not think it wise tc
charge, especially now, that We
are beginning to make progress.
