has been in receipt of an anonymous

IT TAKES TIME TO KILL BILLS

Editor Journal
note the urgent demand by many
of the papers of the state for a session
of the next legislature limited to so
days, especially on account of the
previous 30 days sitting of the So
called "Revisers,' which, as they
claim, would give a practically 80 days
session.
Now ! believe that the previous 30
days sitting of the "Revisers" will
tend to lengthen the time of the reg
ular session instead of shortening it;
on account of the many extra bills
which will be sent in in accord with
the urgent request which has been,
officially, sent out to every member to
send in his bills. And the member
from Calais is being applauded highly
for having sent in two bills already,
more than fortnight before the Re-
visers meet,
The ordinary inexperienced member
tand there are only ten members re-
elected in spite Of the bowling of the
press before election to return expert
enced members) will naturally think
that it is necessary part of the pro-
gramme that he send in a "bill," in
fact will be considered derelict if ne
don't; SO he studies up some local
grievance of his own or his neighbours
and devices and sends in "bill" to
remedy it, thus making use of at least |
one of the dozen blanks sent him from
headquarters, and fulfilling the injunc-
tion sent him.
And this bill the revisers have,
practically, no check upon whatever.
Their only business with it is to see
hat it is in proper form and does not
matter already upon the
statutes. As to its merits, whether it
S advisable or not, they have nothing
o do with whatever, in fact are under
Obligations to keep still about.
Now under prospective conditions,
nd on account of the many important
measures to come up, exceptionally so,
se may expect more bills to come in :
han ever before. Our chief duty, of :
curse, will be to kill bills, but this .
J hard, lengthy business. since it
axes more time, as rule, to kill a !,
i'll than to pass it. Each member, .
aturally desires support for his own
ivorite bill: and the easiest way to !,
btain that support is to favor the 4
assage Of his neighbors' bills upon a
ie principle of you scratch my back :,
nd ] will scratch yours"
Now since it takes time either to
II bills or to duly consider any that
iould pass, and since so many inn
,rtant measures will be up for con-
deration, believe that stated sum 6
II the pay of the members upon the
isis of hundred days session would =
owe an economy to the state.

capacity for avoiding publicity. It is
not only that he disappeared for
weeks and months. But he evidently

with Mrs. OShea in Palace Yard he
confessed that he had not answered.

had not opened his letters for days"
