Diversion Of Law Makers.
HELENA, Jan. 3o.-With the tenth
legislative assembly nearly half com.
pleted, the only bills yet enacted are
three appropriation measures provid-
ing for the expenses of the session and
the pay of members and employees.
During the fourth week Of the session
both enate and house accomplished q
vast amount of routine business, and
both are IN q position to dispose OF
many bills next week. The senate is
in far better "strategic'' position than
the house, which is behind In the con.
sideration Of bills, there being a NUN.
Der yet on the general file. The week
was not 81 especially memorable one
In the matter of work accomplished.
There were q few dramatic situations,
but, for the most part, the work vas
of the dresry routine kind. The
senate was enlivened by the usual tilts
between the orators representing the
democratic and the orators represent
ing the republicans, but no amount of
oratory on either side q sway q
single vote from party lines when q
political question is at issue. That
became apparent in the considerat alton
Of the Donlan direct primary bill,
which was passed by the senate this
week and sent to the house, where it
will be knocked in the head next week
BY the democratic majority.
During the week just ended, 65 bills
were introduced, 40 in the house and
II in the sennte. Since the session
was begun 259 bills have been offered,
1873 in the house and II In the sen ate.
Only q few we're killed during the week.
Among those summarily disposed of
was Donlan's bill raising the licenses
OF saloons, which was killed yesterda
In the senate.
In this connection it is interesting
to note how the bills have been die.

session. OF the 1873 bills introduced in
the house. one.third of them has come
from six members. Gray, republican,
Of Cascade, comes fret in the number

Duncan. democrat, of Madison, is
next on the list with ten bills.
In the senate Donlan OF Missoula
heads the list as 90 originator of bills

opened. Meyer of Carbon comes
next with nine. Six senators, three
republicans and three democrats, have
not introduced g bill.
