The Minnesota legislature has
already piled up a printing bill
aggregating $4,000 more than
that of the 1909 session; and the
money has all gone to put in
black and white some 'steen hun
dred bills introduced by the
members, and a big lot of them
are fool bills, too. And yet some
of the same members who have
assisted in thus squandering the
peoples money profess to be hor-
rified over the possibility of the
newspapers recei vi n g $4,000
each for fulfilling a contract with
the state in publishing the con-
stitutional amendments. Co n
sistency feels rather out of place
when trying to repose inside the
systems of some of the legisla-
tors.
