Tho NAY 1t Is Done.

Suppose Mr.. Jones wants informa ton
concerning d certain bill He goes TO
the library, gives Il clerk the name oil
the bill IN just Il few seconds, she
tells him that on Il certain date that a
certain member introduced that bin in
the house. The next day it was on
second reading, was referred to Il Ger
tain committee, that on another date
the committee reported the Dill for
passage, that it was placed under gem
eral orders, was recommended for pas
sage IL the committee of the whole,
was placed on third reading and is
now OIL the calendar for final passage.
Or she may advise you that the bill
WAS referred to II certain committee
was reported adversely and never
printed.
But suppose the inquirer does not
know the name OF the bill, nor its
author and knows only i'll a general
way the nature of the bill. The accom-
modating clerk. looks through the in
dex, finds the bill, gives the name of
the author, title of the bill and its
course through the senate and house.
In the next campaign you may de-
sire information concerning the work
of certain member either of the house
OF senate. That information can be
given III Il few minutes. Properly clas-
sfied is the complete list of all bills
introduced by that member, as well as
there was a roll call.
Often an inquirer wants information
concerning the details of d certain bill.
1t requires but a few seconds to fur
nish copy of the bill, provided the
measure has been reported for passage
and was printed. These copies of bills
are nos kept for distribution, but are
a part of the files of the office and
are used daily by members of the leg
islature and persons interested in the
work of the law-making bodies.
Legislation in Other States
But the work does not stop there
While a half dozen young women are
compiling the legislative record, others
are busy gathering comparative infor-
NATION concerning similar legislation
in other states.
Take for example the initiative and
referendum. Many states have that
constitutional provision vet there is a
wide difference in its provisions So
a member of the legislature who de-
sires to vote intelligentIy, walks into
the reference library and is provided
with all the L. and r. measures enact
ed in other states; and from this in i
formation he may draw his own opin- |
ion of the measure proposed in Kan |
sas. The same plan applies to the re J
call, the ballot laws. fish and game
laws fee and salary bill and many
other measures concerning which the
the legislator must form at least a
working knowledge before he is able
to vote intelligently on the measures
presented for passage.
The reference library is in the north |
wing of the state house on the second |
floor of the building and easily ac-
cessible TO members of either house. |
Under the direction of Mr.. King it has
become a most valuable institution
and the present plan of keeping an /
almost hourly record of the proceed
ings of both houses has added materi-
ally to the value of the department to !
the state. y.

Rev. HandIey to Start Revival
at Baptist Church.

The stamp sales at the poStoffice

slderably larger than the sales of the
corresponding month of 1912 which
was S992.39. The amount includes
the sale of parcels post stamps. This
is responsible for a part of the in
crease, but the sales of stamps for
the transportation of first, second and
third class matter have been greater.
There is no way to determine the
amount of parcels post stamps that
have been sold as all sales have been
punched and no separate records
kept.
