Those members Of the Legislature
and citizens unaffected with public
office who have asplrcd to see the law
makers embark on II career of miscel-
lancous statute production In the ex-
traordinary session have received no
encouragement from the public at large.
Governor GIyNN's plan to restrict the
session to financial subjects has been
generally approved. Hence hope ripens
into probability that this week will see
the appropriation and supply bills for
next year adopted and the lawmakers
baggage finally checked for home.
No such far reaching and funda-
mental consideration of the states
fiscal system as was sketched In the
Governors early proclamation has been
accomplished or even attempted. This
will not De counted n misfortune. The
proper adjustment Of the inconsistent.
cies and burdcnsomc provisions that
now impose too heavy load on the
taxpayer involves action by a body OF
greater authority than the Legislature.
The constitutional convention should
lay the foundations of the reformation
that all recognize as necessary. The
details must be worked out In Senate
and Assembly. and their task should

elected after its proportions are un-
derstood by the electors.
We take it that the Senators and

To THE EDITOR or TIKI STN-Sr:
have read the editorial I'm to-day's SuN on
the refusal OF the Cincinnati Society to

report of the discussion in opposition to
their publication may place the society
in a wrong light. and ] venture TO state
what really occurred.

examined and indeNed and q motion was
made to publish the papers. In common

matter of historic interest which the So

UNION SEMINARY

To THE EDITOR or TIE SuN--S,r. The
Rev. Bouck White who has been sent to
the workhOuse for interruptlng the service
OF a Christian church last sunday morn
ing, has stated that Union Seminary. OF
which he is "A graduate. having been IA
notable exponent Of higher criticism" is
hereafter to be an important factor in
bringing about "a social revolution. The
thesis in defence of which he seems now
to regard himself as martyr or wit
ness" Is that wealth Is immoral" I
understand that he Is n Socialist.

Seminary indorse the platform of Bouck
White? Does Union Seminary stand for
socialism? VIII some one who can uu-
