A synthesis Of more or less conflicting
opinions as to a time and cash check on
the legislature will likely result finally in
session of ninety days, or thereabouts-
and fixed cash compensation for the
session of around $500. Something like
this is very evidently favored by con-
siderable majority, but in view of the
large amount of work ahead now they
are scarey about applying such law to
this session. Thus far they are gingerly
treading around the question, and are
likely to wait and see."
Thus far trivial matters, personal and
sectional legislation, is given scant con-
sideration, and decidedly less of this sort
of thing is coming in than usual.
