Long Sessions Hereafter

The legislature comes back the first
81 the year to remain IN session until
the work is completed. There has been
grea. howl this year about the work

ly in a good many respects. The bills
introduced have come in slowly, and
she members have been slow in really
getting into the harness and pulling
hard enough TO tighten the tugs.
Everything of importance has been left,
as il has in years past, until the last.
However slow things have gone. not as
much time has been used this year up

carry on the work. But the state has
realized il at last. 1t will be found that
the Legislature IN the future will never
nvain be through Its work by Thanks
giving. and will likely never again
close affairs properly before Christmas.
There is more business IN the state
than there used 10 be. and this has
neeessitaied call for more legislation.
A glance at the yolame in which the
bills introduced are kept. is enough in I
itself 10 cause realizing sense OF the 1
work and detail that rests on legisla

The state might just as well figure in
