many as thirty or forty bills are

OF the session. but local bills are Of

Keeps Ahead of Work.
Two or three months before the
opening OF each session Mr.. Machen
writes to every member of both houses
to send acquisitions for bills that he
wishes the bureau to draw for him:
but the members usually prefer to get
on the ground and confer with their
fellow Legislators before deciding
what measures to offer. Besides,
many bills and suggestions are sent
to the legislators after they assem- BILE.
by lawyers and business men, and are
brought by delegations specially In
terested in certain movements 1t Is
not always practicable to formulate
these proposals prior to assent bling
of the Legislature. The shortness OF
the legislative session makes the con-
gestion of work in the bureau very
great when the session has been well
started and many stenographers and
other helpers are necessary. Mr..
Machen selects his help by n civil
service examination of his own and
the result has proven very satisfac-
tory. The legislature supports the
bureau cheerfully and it is matter
of comment that bills carrying special
appropriations for the bureau are
about the only ones of the kind that
are passed unanimously.

This bureau during the war has CO.

council OF defense, OF which the direc-
tor is member, having prepared a
legal handbook for the guidance Of
soldiers and sailors and conducted n

historical data During the recess OF
the general assembly MIR. Machen, be-
sides attending to the routine work
already mentioned, makes an intensive
study of the constitution and laws OF
i the state as well as of other states,
for there Is not much opportunity for
research when the sessions are being
held. Altogether, it is generally con
coded that the bureau has proven a
success and is now recognized as "A
permanent feature of the legislative
system OF the state.
