The list of the committees were an nounced so far as they had been made up to- In the senate, the com mittees were made public with the names of the chairman of each as printed by The Republican yester- day morning.
 The first instance of legislation oc- cured in the senate when Mir. Webb introduced a measure of the emer- gency kind, designed to remedy q situation in this country which some famous statesmen are inclined to at tribute to the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand of Austria by a foolish Servian patriot last summer. Others think that the assassination was really committed by the demo- cratic majority in the federal con- sress. But MT. Webb was proposing to deal with the situation itself and not with it's disputed causes.
 Senate Bill No. 1 proposes an eX- tension of the time for the payment of school and county taxes already due and delinquent, until April 15 of tA those of 1914.

President Sims made the perpetrator of this first legislative offence a fact of public record.

On the spur of the moment the resolution probably would have been adopted. It seemed so reason able that the OK which had not participated in the treading out of the corn should be muzzled and that the laborer who had not labored should be deprived of his hire.
 But Senator Riggs who is not inclined to be a shirk pointed out that the constitutional provision that each laborer in the legislative field should be entitled to per diem whether he labored or not. it was sufficient for him to have been elect ed Therefore, when the resolution was presented in written form il was defeated.
