Louisiana Legislators Make
Preparations for Gen
eral Assembly.
CHILD LABOR
BILL EXPECTED
Miscegenation Measure and
Amendments for Game Com
mission Planned.

NEW ORLEANS, March II. - y ess
wildcat legislation seems to be the
sentiment of legislators regarding the
session of the Louisiana Legislature
which will begin in May.
1t is a widespread opinion that there
was too much tickle me and I'll tickle
you'{ legislation at the last session.
Bin after bill was hurried through,
many OF them inadequaJely considered,
their meaning not dlgested, and with
out thought as 10 their cOnSutuuOnallty.
AS a result several of them were
knocked OUT or rendered practically
invalid by decisions or the courts.
One of those declared unconstitutional
was that providing for board 10 eX-
anime electrical engineers. In another
instance the Legislature amended an ar
IiCle Of the revised statutes that had
been repealed. The Byrnes law, pro-
hibiting one from taking his seat in a
theater after the curtain IS up, is a
dead letter. If Judge ChreUen's s recent
decision affecting the COncUbinage law
Is upheld by the supreme court, there
viii be a more important reversal Of the
Legislatures action.
Concubinage Measure.
The law prohibits concubinaEe between
the Caucasian and the negro races.
Judge Clretieu held that an octoroon
was not a negro, and If the supreme
court sustains him in this the cOucUbin-
age act will, be rendered, If not nearly
invalid, at least much narrower in its
scope OctOrOOnS and nOn-CauCaSianS
of lesser degree than the pure negro are
the principal figures in COnCubinage
cases, so these Will escape unscathed If
The concubinaEe law is not amended, or
another law substituted
There is also q possibility Of a misCe-
Eenation law, which was fought so Wig
orously at the last session, though this
does not appear 20 be notiCeably prob
able from the views of legislators who
discuss II.
The game commission viii come in for
a big share Of the Legislatures time.
One legislator predicts that hundreds OF
bills affecting il will be introduced.
Many are opposed to the present game
commission of itself Some think its
powers and functions should be re-
stricted, and others feel that the law
that gives IL existence should be varl-
ously amended
Child Labor Legislation.
The child labor law viii be amended
That seems certain. The principal OBJ
lection TO it is that it so badly hampers
the theaters- This is so. though the law
does not specifically apply to Uheaters

Washington Democrat: The Demo-
crat hopes it is not unthankful for
small favors but it cannot join in the
general prediction that the election
of Congressman Foss of Massachusetts
at special election last week is a
sign that the Democrats will sweep
the Republicans aside this autumn.
On the other hand, it does not indi-
cate anything except that a hybrid,
renegade Republican has been elected
to congress owing to lot of local
conditions that we out here do not
fully understand. And still, we do not
deprecate the victory, but we see no
sign in it. We have elected Demo
crat to the legislature from Washing
ton cohnty. We elected Hold Wilson
and we elected Warren Stewart than

and this refers to both of them, but
that did not make the county Demo
cratic. We have Democratic sheriff
Bridget McCarty as we are sure to
do, but we are not fool enough to say
that it will make the county Demo
cratic.
The conditions that made Foss pos
sible are various and while we believe
the dissatisfaction with the Payne
tariff bill helped, it did not do it all

will not help in iowa. With hogs ten

THE HOUSE RULES.

Inc washington CORRESPONDENCE "
the Omaha Bee recalls that Cannon
ISM as it is called, is not new
cause or complaint. Thomas b. Reed
was denounced when speaker of the
house just as energetically as Cannon
has been denounced during last year.
Reed controlled the committee on
rules with an iron hand, but even
Reed does not appear to have been
the originator of his methods OF shap-
ing legislation. He took his cue from
Lieut.. Gov. David B. Hill, who believed
his eyes rather than his ears when
called upon to decide in the New York
senate whether or not quorum was
present
Tie Reed rules were, i'll turn, adopt
ed almost verbatim by the house
which succeeded that over which he
presided and in which Mr.. Crisp of
Georgia was the speaker, and it was
not far cry from Crisp to Hender-
son when the latter took the gavel
necessity for such rules is thus point.
ed out 9y the Bee correspondent:
There must be committee on
rules, there must be some means Of
deciding whether bill shall be con-
sidered or not before it reaches the
voting stage, otherwise all sorts of
measures would be brought forward
and rushed through without adequate
consideration There is scarcely a
score of members in the entire house
who ever have taken time to consider
every measure upon which they are
called upon to vote. Consequently
the majority is generally guided by
the report of the committee from
which the bill is reported or by the
attitude of the committee on rules
/ If it was necessary to discuss and ex,
plain every provision of every meas
ure which is called up for action in
/ the house very little would be accom-
/ plished, and for this reason the COM
mittee first considers all bills and
then the committee on rules decides
whether or not the house shall have a
chance to vote upon them"
Naturally this method keeps in the
4 background many measures in which
individual members are deeply inter-
ested. They lay their inability to Sc
cure the legislation for which their
constituents ask to the committee on
rules. which in the past has meant to
the door of the speaker. AS to condi-
tions in the future the correspondents
writes:
From this time forward after he
shall have appointed the committees
at the beginning OF congress-and
it is natural to assume that the COM
mittee on rules will continue to exist
without the speaker-that official will
have little to do aside from presiding
over the house. Of course, he will be
consulted, but he will have no vote
and all complaints which may be made
will have to be directed against some
other than t e presiding officer of the
house. 1t remains to be seen what
the effect will be upon legislation anc
whether or not those members who
have advocated all sorts of legislative
yagaries will be any better off thar
; they have been in the past"
