HAPPENINGS
AT STATE
CAPITOL

With the adjournment for the
Christmas holidays comes the matter
of speculation as to how much longer
the time will be needed to finish the
work. 1t is purely a matter of spec
ulation but at that the records will
show something of what must be
accomplished before the final good
bye is said The committee on final
adjournment reported 322 bills in the
hands of committees and made no
mention of the large number of bills
ordered to lie which would bring the
number around 800 at least to be
disposed of. For the time forget
ing the bills ordered to lie and
taking up the matter of bills in COM
mittees at the rate of 10 a day which
is considered large number to dis
pose of each day, on an average it
would require 32 days to get the
business cleaned up so that those who
have set final adjournment in FEBRUARY
would seem to have been fairl y well
Informed although a strong effort
will be made to finish at least one
day ahead of the session of 1910, and
that has been the expression of sew
eral members that they want to get
through at least one day ahead of
those who were here two years ago.
There are good many issues which
will require almost day to dispose
of each. The Senate is not at all
favorable to the present fiat rate bill,
only about one third would pass it,
but they are about evenly divided as
to some kind of flat rate and there
seems to be a feeling that if they
cannot get together they will COM
promise on the Laird bill. Although
Mr.. Babbitt has stated that he would
force the issue to the bitter end to
get his bill Of five percent exemption
through. He alleges that he could
have killed it on Thursday but a poll
of the Senate showed entirely a diff
ferent situation from what he alleged
to be the case, so there seems to be
a difference of opinion as to the
strength he alleges to have support
ing his bill. 1t is generally expected
that if an amendment to the present
flat rate bill should come back to the
House they would accept the same
and passed the bill leaving it to the
governor to go on record. There is
some question in the minds of the
House whether it would be approved
but general feeling is that Governor
Fletcher would attach his name to
the document.
The recent action of the House on
several matters has been peculiarly
interesting to those who have fol-
lowed the Legislative work for few
years. Never in it's history it is
said has the party been so broken
up along party lines. Some men,
bers of each have been supporting
bills while others have been opposed
to the same measure. For instance,

COFFEE MAY

ton on the prosecution of the trust
He sent over to the department of JUS
tice for copy of the brief filed in the
New York court, and gave it to the
ambassador. AT a subsequent inter
view Senior De Cana is believed to
have informed Secretary Knox that
his government regards the $4,000
bags of coffee which the United
States proposes to seize in New York
as the property of the Brazilian gov
ernment The United States would
therefore be seizing Brazilian proper
ty and Brazil could not but regard
this action as unfriendly The am
