on Wednesday" said Mr. Bryant au-
thor of the resolution to amend the
constitution restricting the legislative
bodies to a total Of twenty members
The provision does not limit the
introduction of bills 20 De presented

put it does provide that the governor
may introduce in the legislature as
many as ten bills on the first day of
me session and that no other bills
may be introduced or considered un-

one motion to table the entire lot, or
they might be amended or passed
without amendment. My idea is that

shat ten well-prepared and carefully
vohsldered bills, if enacted into law,
would meet the requirements of the
s,ate at any one session; but there is
aMays an opportunity, under the pro-

oeher bills after those which the
hsoVernor shall have presented have
een disposed of. / do not have
much hope that the resolution will
