(FLLEY URGES ‘AL-DAY SESSION OF LEGISLATURE Cheyenne Legislator Says in Address. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 22.—Wyo- ming should have a legislative session of 60 days duration, and the intro- ‘duction of bills should be limited to the first thirty days, in the opinion of Senator A. D. Kelley of Cheyenne, one of the most active members of the Seventeenth session. “From the experience I have gained I am* convinced that our system i all wrong.” said Senator Kelley, ad dressing the Lions’ club. “I say to you frankly that it is a crime to make laws the way we make them. A gocd deal of our time ts consumed n speeches to the galeries. Up to the last few days of this session we had passed only 30 or 40 bilis. ‘Then all of a sudden we got busy, and in a continuous session of three days and two nights. put through more than 100 more, By Monday we were worn out, our brains completely frazzled. It was impos sible to give those matters any real cons'deration, I believe this condition would be greatly relieved if we could hold a 60-day session and provie that bills could be introduced in only the) first 30 days, - “Three-fourths of the laws we en- acted were for the relief of the dry farmers, the wet farmers, the stock- men and the irrigation fellows. Many of these were, to say the least, Ill- concelyed and injudicious.”” Senator Kelley criticized the “party caucus" system of considering legis- lation which was in vogue during the recent session. aucuses * are all right —both parties held them frequently in. the session just closed—but too often, I believe, persons try to put over per- sonal issues by means of them,” he nad. “Nothing but political issues should be considered in these meet ing: So PARIS—A _ conference between the French and Belgian prime min- isters disclosed that their states are in accord regarding the Ruhr situa- tion, pel es PA ay in French mines where strikes have been in progress.
