APPROPRIATION
BILLS TO HAVE
R|CHT-0F-WAy
Legislature Has Only 25 Days
TO Complete Work,

At the opening Of the house of
representatives this afternoon,
Speaker Paul Nesbitt told the
members to bear in mind that the
Sixth Legislature was to be so
day session.
"We are within twenty-five days
of adjournment" he said. ~ suS-
gest that we head in right now for
a 60-day session
With only twenty-five days OF the
present legislative session remaining,
appropriation bills, local measures and
bills OF general Importance which are
regarded as essential, will be given the
right OF way in both branches OF the
legislature
Appropriation Bill Up.
The general appropriation bill, carry
ing the appropriations necessary for the
maintenance OF all departments OF the
government is nearing perfection in Ihc
serate committee on appropriations. and
will likely appear in that branch within
the next few DAYS. The general de-
fienoy appropriation bill, handled BY
the house committee on appropriations,
will also likely be reported out in a
day or so.
Appropriation measures for all penal,
eleemosynary and educational institu-
tons have been divided between the two
appropriations committee and are now
being pu, in shape
Will Occupy Attention.
Consideration OF these measures alone
will likely take no the best part OF the
remaining DAYS OF the session All rcVe
nue. producing measures must be passed
five days before adjournment of IN"
session, which insures early disposal
OF all tax measures and other bills de-
signed to produce revenue
Il feel sure that the work OF the ,e'-
sion will he in shape to adjourn finally
at the expiration OF sixty or siSty-thrcc
DAYS" said Speaker Nesbitt this morn
ing 81 expect that the attitude OF the
house from now on will be to give early
consideration to Appropriation Allls,
local bills and measures OF general I'M
portanee'
Four Bills Signed.
As only four bills so far have been
signed by the governor it now appear,
that this legislature will do less than
any in the history OF the state. Some
members OF the body believe that such
record will be popular with the people.
This time two years ago during the
regular session OF the Fifth legislature
total OF fifteen bills and resolutions
had been acted upon bv the governor.
