Stinson Says But
One Third of Bills
Will Be Passed
Senator Thinks Session is
Not so Bad as it Might
Have Been

Our people at home will soon be
wondering as to the success Of this
legislative session, says q letter
this week to this paper from Senat-
or G.. F. Stinson. Much viii de-
pend upon the revival Of business
as our revenue now Is predicated
upon the general sales tax, togeth-
er with the liquor revenue.
If business picks up so that peo-
pie are put to work, 1t will take
many off the relief rolls. This win
leave money in the general fund
to take care Of our schools and the
old-age pensions.
Relief Heavy
This session has been the heav-
lest in many years, as the relief
problem took a major part Of the
time. We have passed some ex-
cellent laws to improve our irri-
cation set-up, also q number Of
laws which should prove very help
full to the agricultural interests,
and to assist the farmer In OBJ
tanning better price for his pro-
ducts. Out Of 1875 bills introduc-
ed, there is still chance that we
will pass 800 new bills. You may be
sure that we have done everything
possible to improve the road stu
alton in these four counties, Is
have always considered that as q
major worthwhile matter, and I
feel quite sure that we will secure
some very important improvements
to the roads affecting your vicin-
ity. We have increased the bounty
on coyotes on the demands Of the
stock men In this district.
Sunday beer was defeated by .
close margin, and the Legislature
refused to legalize pin balls Or 9TH
er semi-gambling devices. Unless
something IS done In the closing
hours, 1t win be up TO tho city
councils to control this problem. On
the whole, I think we have passed
less objectionable legislation tnn
in any session In many years.
