this year and 100000 next year. Some
of the newspapers make the amour;
over 81, 200, 900, but that he cannot
make that out by any sort of calcutta
tfOns.
A comment is made by some of the
ablest members of the legislature that
d steering committee is needed to look
over the states needs and arrange
bills to owe these and to see that
these bills are promptly put through.
There are many bills before the Iegls-
lature which need never have come De-
fore at and which could be disposed
of elsewhere. OF course there are not
SO many of these as in past years, but
some members win persist in sending
them in.
