That Seems to Be the One Best Bet Just Now With Reference to Doings in the Present Queer Situ- ation
HOUSE TRIES A
 NIGHT MEETING
Large Amount of Business Put Through by Both Branches; Dopesters Are Still Guessing About Ad- iournment

Tag, you're it. MT Reader. The legislature has not adjourned nor hls a special session been called Whats more, you have just as much license ls anybody else tO guess whether there will be an extra session but just now il hardly seems likely. It looks like the senate had put another one over. The house has been dread ing a special session; in fact most of the members have. individually: but the senate leaders have rather encouraged the idea of holding one rather th1n leave their work unfin- ished Yesterday it seemed to be taken for granted until late in the afternoon that the two houses would work all night and try to finish. The house had that notion. and took recess until s p. m. to hold it's first night session. It was known. of course that not all the work could be done. but there seemed q feeling that the most urgent things could be at tended to. However. about the time the house adjourned for dinner, the senate adjourned until morning. It would appear that the senate plans to work along under date of the 18th until the job is finished without draw ing any pay for it, as the pay for the regular session stopped yesterday. Maybe the senators feel they can afford to lose seven dollars day, just to keep the nose of the representatives down to the grindstone, and they get two for one for there are nearly twice as many members in the lower house The governor. of course, can come to the rescue any time by calling the hoys out formally and putting them back on the pay roll.
 At dark last night neither apprOpri- ation bill had made it's appearance and there is yet a big pile of unfin- ished business. There was more pO- litical juggling yesterday than here toforc. or rather the juggling was more in evidence. The senate leaders seem obsessed with the idea that they should run things and to some extent they are demonstrating their belief However. the house kicks back every once in a while and some of the members at times get clear over the traces. Yesterday, the whole team in the north end baked on a pair of bills the senate leaders were using to club in the recalcitrants. When the cause was removed the bills were sent back.
 Also the house got on it's dignity and chOked to death the senate's semi-monthly payday bill The labor ing men now will have to get along with the old fashioned pay days or have none at all.
 Tho fp ell Tr Barker of the house, after he had been knocked down on his Winkelman segregation bill and took his medicine like a sport, by putting a joker in the general county division bill, With the help of the house Barker kicked the general bill irto the scrap heap. II is the time for the evening up of old scores and the Kinney bill is yet in the air along with some more of them
 Altogether the senate passed a dOZ- cn bills yesterday and the committee of the whole ordered seven more to take their regular course The bills passed are: limiting number of cars in q train; requiring employment of experienced trainmen; a bill con- corning appeals; redstricting justice precincts; game law; bill % tuy set of Indian books; court commiss toner's bill; limiting hours of labor in cleo . tric plants; corporation fees; super visorll districts; liens on mines. and the paving bill.
 The house passed fourteen bills and memorials: Duties of the auditor employers liability; road and er gineers' bill; three memorials: three tax bills: the militia code: two sup reme court bills which were intro duced and passed all within an hour; bill Tor the relief of James McGee and the Phoenix paving bill, now through both houses.
 Tna state engineer and road bIll was decorate in the house little to suit that body and perhaps a little gleefully, for the senate had also thrown the hooks into the house road bill. At last account the senate bil was in the hands of a conference com mittee.
