Local Option BiII Lost.
The local option bill was not taken
up by the Senate, although 1t had
been put on the calendar for final
action, nor was the House bill requir-
ing reading of ten verses of the Bible
in the public sehoo each day. a
large delegation of ministers was on
hand to watch the voting and went
away disappointed. The Senate killed
the bill legalizing delivery of liquor
elsewhere in the State than in the To-
ea.ity where the dealer is licensed. 1t
passed the Assembly small board of
freeholders bill, which carries a ref
erendum. The Governor had urged a
mandatory act and it is not known
whether he will approve the one
passed.
Other bills passed by the Senate
and now ready for the Governor abol-
lsh the prison paro.e board; proYld-
ing fifty cents day for the families
of convicts engaged in productive la
Dor, and abolish the state department
of public records and archives.
Among the Senate bills passed by the
House and which now go to the Gov
ernor were The New York State
New Jersey Hudson river bridge bill; |

for the State commission appointed |
for the San Franc SEQ eXposit' on;

Senator Edges Statement.
Senator Edges statement assailed |
the Democratic majority. He said 1t |
had for Its policy the infiiction of |
more taxes. He insisted that there |
was no real deficit threatened in the |
State treasury and that II dis |
appeared as soon as the exact figures |
on the appropriations were obtain
alb e.
Senator Edge, who is president of |
the Economy and Efficiency Commits |
sion, declared the reason that the bills |
for the consolidation of several de-
partments and the wiping out of
ninety-seVen office-holders did not |
pass was that the Democrats, and |
not the Republicans, did not want
TO pass them. His statement Is as
follows.
This Legislature should, and prob
ably will, go down in history as hav-
ing demonstrated one real accom-
plishment-t of taxing the people
