The Week in the legislature.

Final Adjournment 10 Q week nearer
than IL Was Q week ago. That much can
DO definitely stated. But 1t does not
tell M when that anal adjournment will
be.
However, there 10 q gsntlemen's agree
ment, which Ii may not be possible to
live up to, that hearings by the COM
mittees shall be concluded Tuesday
afternoon of this week. II this can be
accomplished the work OF closing up
can begin.
To illustrate little what the work Of
closing up will mean: Out Of the high
way funds there IL something like
s2i4, 900 to be applied by the Legislature
for roads and bridges. This 10 done by
special resolves introduced and referred
to the committee on ways and bridges,
who usually combine the resolves
which they report into one long list.
Resolves calling for various amounts,
from one thousand dollars mp 10 several
thousand, poured into the hopper In an
unceasing stream up 70 the time that
the bars were put up. The member
who didn't have q ''road resolve with
which 30 try for some of the states
money W83 y Eoko Aeo sSses ~
the amounts called for by these resolves
10 several times the amount available,
and the task Of the committee 10 to de-
eide what resolves are 10 be reported
and what rejected. No small job.
A somewhat similar situation 10 that
of other committees which have to do
with the expenditure Of the states mon
CIV. and indeed the whole financial situa-
ton including the rate OF the state tax
and the amount Of appropriations TO be
made for the several state departments
and institutions 10 still to be finally
decided.
One Of the measures which has had .
checkered career and has absorbed 9
disproportionate amount Of the legisla-
tive energy Ia the poll tax bill. As In.
troduced this provided uniform tax OF
1--WE dollars. This very shortly struck
trouble. After some backing and filling
it was thought that settlement had
been agreed upon on the basis OF . uni
form tax of three dollars. Even that
had It's opponents, and after several
weeks Of vicissitude, the fate Of the bill
"a still indefinite.
