! With only six days left in which to
( pass the hundreds of bills which
crowd tn ecalendar of both the house
and the senate this week, promises to
! be one of the busiest ones the legisla-
/ tors have ever struck. To clear the
calendar by Saturday is an impossible
! ity, and 1t is thought the remainder of
! the session Will be given over to bills
/ of great Importance. There are now
/ pending before the general assem-
! lily the primary bill. the red light bill,
the resolution providing for the initia-
/ tive and referendum, the game bill and
other measures of equal importance
and just how they will be disposed of
1 is more or less a mystery.
/ 1t has been suggested that the mem
bers stay over an extra ten days ut
their own expense to finish up the
business and it is expected that today
Will witness the introduction of seS-
eral resolutions to this effect. This.
however, Will be bitterly fought, as
many of the members have expressed
themselves as being against the plan.
Today In the senate the anti-vice
hill. better known as the red light bill,
will come up Is h special order at
1880 O'Clock This measure will be
warmly fought and it Is thought Will
consume much time. 1T is buried deep
in the calendar of the house and unless
1t is taken UP cut of it's order will
not be acted on this session.
The primary bill. too, is scheduled
| to come up before the house either
today or Tuesday. 1t was passed by
the senate last week, but there are
severa' amendments to be added by
the lower branch. which will neces-
state the calling of conference be-
fore the bill can become a law. The
conference already provided for to get
the house and senate appropriation
bills in proper shape will also be busy
this week, preparing their report.

Democracy and School Books.

Speaking of the cost OF books we
find that republicans are sometimes
prone to criticse democrats for the
school hook contracts that have been
made by the state board. 1t may
be well to compare prices now with
what we paid when the republicans
were in power, and it will be admit
ted bv everybody who know the facts
that II costs much more to produce
a school book now; in fact, printed
matter of any kind, than it did eight
years ago. All printing material and
labor has advanced at least % per
cent during that time.
An Advanced Geography under the
republican price was $1.25, the dem
ocratic is SSc.
The republican price of a Pri
mary Geography was 6Oc, now il
/ is lOc.
The republican price of L. 5
History was $1Oo, the democratic
price is 7Oc
The republican price Of Advanced
Arithmetic was GOc., reduced to lOc
under democratic contracts.

The speech Of this distinguished

felt in the future.
Among other significant statements
made in this first Independence Day
address was the one which pointed
out that the countries Of Europe were
NOT really the friends Of Mexico. The
Ypiranga incident was pointed out as
