Breaks the Record at Olympia

Upon the expii alton of the forty
day limit set by the legislature for
the introduction of new bills, last
Friday, there had been introduced
l ,O95 proposed laws and changes in
present laws, thereby establishing
new record for the state OF Wash
ington. This exceeds the number
introduced at the 1911 session by
222. Of the total number of bills,
GAS were introduced in the lower
house, while $50 were fathered by
the senate. It will now require
a two-thirds vote of the Legislature
to permit further introduction o f
bills, which is a change of the rule
in effect two years ago. when it
required unanimous consent. I'm
der this provision probably so to
100 additional bills wiz make their
appearance before adjournment.
