had q very considerable share in the

are better off. No one will dispute
the political axiom that Iobhics delay
the work OF Legislatures and choke off
measures which arc designed FOR the
welfare of tho people and not Of spe-
cial privileges
The New Hampshire Legislature has
set an example for other Legislatures
to follow. There is really no reason
why good bills should not be passed
within reasonable time. instead oil
being deferred 10 the final frcnzied
