ELECTIONS SLOW
DOWN LEGISLATION

Springfield, H., March 25.-Ad'
journment of the legislature last week
after three days session probably
marks the last attempt Of house Off
GERS and leaders TO hold the member
ship here for five day sessions until
after the spring elections. Speaker
David b. Shanahan has been particu-
larry anxious for some time that the
work of the session be speeded mp
and many members too were clamor-
ing for more business, particularly
since railroad fares and hotel bills
cost them more than ever before and
with no corresponding increase in
salary
So the steering committee, a repub-
lican organization with the republi-
can membership of the house, decreed
five days a week sessions two weeks
ago. The first attempt was a failure
and so was the second. No attempt
was made to hold the members last
week.
Whats the use. 1t can't be done"
is the way Rep. VIM. Holiday, acting
speaker, sized up the situation in the
house.

ares, the waterway bills and the meas.
