While the national anthem is being
played with solemn sweetness, the ban.

INTERESTING SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE

The session of the legislature will
open in January and it promises TO be
one OF the most interesting sessions
that has been held for many years.
comments the Sparks Tribune.
The Senate is unquestionably Repuh.
lican. while the Assembly is Demo-
cratic and. Of course. there is a Demo
cratic Governor. Emmet d. Boyle. at
the helm. So. all in all. the Demo
Gratis have Il shade the best OF the
deal when it comes TO partisan mat
ters
But from the signs that are blown
this way it is apparent that the com
ing session will be noted less for its
party lines, than for its constructive
progressive tendencies.
There is expected TO be much de
legislation" that IL, the repeating and
abandoning of laws that have Outllved
their usefulness. To enumerate all
that have come under the censorlnC
eye would tax the columns OF a much
larger paper.
There are also many constructive
measures that will be introduced that
will be intended 10 tighten the ex-
penses Of government, and there are
probably others that will add to the
burdens Of the tax payers
From this distance it seems certain
that there will be no measure pass
through the legislature that has no,
been subjected to careful scrutiny.
Among suggested measures that will
be introduced are the eight.hour day
for women, the bonding Of the STATE
Tor highway purposes. the consolida.
uon or elimination OF some commits
sions, the bi-monthly payday as af
fecting railroads. measures tending to
the bcttcmcnt Of rural school condi.
tions, districting Washoe County for
asscmblymcn. bonding Washoe County
for road purposes, and this latter will
probably mean that other counties will
take the same steps and many other
measures that are Of import to the
people
The Organization of the house viii.

Democrats. For the speakership there
have been no announced asplran;s, but
Frank Williams and Senator Coryell
stand out above the rest. Both arc
experienced legislators and both have
proven by past service that they are
able TO handle the situations that will
come before them il they are prcsidin-
officers
For the lesser positions there IS cX.
pcctcd 10 be a scramble. but hardly a.,
much difficulty in filling as there has
been IN former years. The partisan
lines will b" rigidly observed this yea.
and the Democrats will have com

there will be no need for indccision.
Altogether the winter months in
Carson promise to be very lively an /
