WEDNESDAY SESSIONS.

Important measures followed each
other in rapid succession in the Legs
lature. "Wednesday. In the Senate the
workingmens compensation act was
amended and sent along through the
stages necessary TO get the measure in
te the House, Thursday. The morning
session was devoted to considera-
ton of the measure in committee of
the whole. Senator Morey as chairman
Senator Millillen spoke briefly in sup
port of the bill and expressed the hope
that the Senate would pass the bill by
unanimous vote. He explained that
lobbyists have been helpless in their
opposition to the legislative program
here, this. winter, and that the passage
Of this LII will form the crowning
achievement of the legislative pro-
gram.
Senators Walker and Stearns en-
dersed the measure also. The amend
ments were taken up in order and
three were rejected while the others
were adopted. Those that were re-
jected included one of Importance,
having for its feature the elimination
of fumbermen and river drivers. in
troduced by Senator Bailey. Those
That were adopted were OF an adNan-
tageous nature in making clear the
workings Of various sections.
Senator Dutton brought up consid-
Grafton of House Amendment at
tached to the Atlantic Shore Railway
bill two weeks ago, raising the fran
ehise tax from $75 per 100000 of stock
to $100 He made an endeavor to have
that amendment stricken out but Sem
ator Stearns objected He had tried
to have the first amendment elmi-
mated, that which specifies that the
railroad must pay 4 claim of 500 be-
fore permission to issue additional
stock shall be granted. He moved that
the bill be postponed indefinitely and
the Senate voted IA to IA on that mo-
ton. President Milliken breaking the
tie by voting in favor of the motion.
This disposes of the matter at this
session most likely.

acted, Wednesday, in the House.
When the bill providing for the dis
tribution of the State school fund ae-
cording to aggregate attendance, came

eepted by vote of Sc to 40.

Interesting debate on the school

graphic report elsewhere.

Leolslature lin Session Aoaln.

That the session OF the legislature,
which opened Monday. will not last
longer than a week. or ten days at the
most was the opinion expressed by
leaders OF that body The quicker
through the better" will be the slogan
under which the solons will work and
speedy disposition OF the few mat
ters remaining on the calendar is ex-
pected
The general appropriation bill. ap-
propTiating funds for the operating
expenses of the different departments
Of state for the next two years and
the general revenue bill are the two
most important bills awaiting action.
The revenue bill. it is said probably
viii be taken up first Under the con-
stitution all revenue measures must
be passed five days before final ad-
journment is taken and it is the de-
sire Of members Of both houses to get
that matter out Of the way as early
as possible that the fye-day limitation
placed by the statutes will not keep
the legislature in session longer than
is absolutely necessary.
The general appropriation bin is in
conference and just when il viii be
reported out is not definitely known.
Some are Of the opinion that the bill
viii have TO be reintrOduced because
Of the fact that it contains provisions
creating some new places. Whether
this viii have 70 be done will not be
determined until the members have
had the opportunity 10 discuss the
question involved.
