So far. though the session is prac-
tically six weeks old, less than a
dozen bills have been enacted into law
and approved with the signature of
Governor Cummins. The most i'm.
portant of these is the resolution to
congress asking for a convention of
the states to revise the United States
constitution. Most of the others are
legalizing acts or matters in connec-

appropriation for the payment of ex-
