The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-03-17

The Legislature. when 1t adjourned from March to July Q, left on the calendar ( sufficient amount of work to keep 1t busy for the thirteen days which remain to 1t under the Constitu- ton The Legislature left both tho House and the Senate calendars clogged with unpassed bills, but the Senate was anuch nearer finishing completely than was the House. But both bodies left much work to be done when they reconvene in July. No bill in which the Governor was gFtisalaEbIg interested HP. measures endorsed by the administra- ton were the first bills passed by the Legislature
 The revenue bills, to raise the money 10 meet the appropriations made by the Legislature, were among the last bills passed by the Senate, but their delay was due not to the hesitancy of the Senate, but to the work of the House in moulding the bills into shape But when they were finally passed, all the bills in which the Governor was fn- arrested were disposed of. < Some interest attaches to the fact that every bill which was supposed to be unfriendly to the cotton mills of the State were left on the calendar. Considerable has been said and writ ton of the child labor bill which sleeps on the calendar until the July session. The bill to limit the numbers of hours employees could work in a cotton mill was not passed, nor was the Senate bill passed which requires all the cot ton mill buildings in the State to be supplied with fire escapes.
 In the main, the calendars of the two houses contain but few important bills. AS q general thing, the blls on the calendar, while they may be general in their nature. have no State-wire inter- est
