DO not see tpat "this session of the Legislature is to be % marked by any unusual legislation; in fact, | think there will be littledone other thanroutine work. History will not be much changed when it is over. | do think, however, that there will be some much-needed agricultural legisiation, and that as a result of it the deficiency in the fundsof the District Agricult- ural societies will be lifted. Our rivers and harbors and gen- eral debris troubles have been taken-up by the National Gov- ernment and from all | can see the Government is per- fectly able to take care of them. The tax payers are willing that it should apyway, and I think we will take the chances. I will simply work for clean and ef- fective legislation, and it @ @ @ JACOB H NEFF f PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE ® ¢ ® & S . looks as though we e '9s\$ are going to oo haveit. ®soq % ©e Seq, "8eg which the their const knowledge sire to acquire short notice b their prese al pot hunters who nal profit or prosp & PPPPPPPPPPPPPP 00000099 PPPPPPIOOOPO®POGIO First Business Before the Senate. ® 0009000000000 0000060600606060 RESIDENT NEFF SAYS HE WILL CUT DOWN EXPENSES o e for he has held the gavel on ccasions: that their number are to a f; SO many 1! is beyond In the e is also a goodly pro- S e {.Hru-»n\;»] nil)m;\lud\-flm llui\];ll;\'e N my opinion the present session of ! the ore. e uckworth rapped for ; ) order lie looked down on faces that,have fronted Legislature will be an important epoch in the history of the State. It will be import- ant for the reason that bills will be Intro- duced for the purpose of reducing the expenses of State institutions, as well as other econoric measures. The latter course is made neces- sary on account of the unpromising outlook of the State this year, due to adry season. | be- lieve that a number of the existing State commissions should be dispensed with. Such action would lessen the burden of taxpayers. The initial work of . the session will no doubt be somewhat handicapped on account of . the closing of the State Printing Office.” A number of important reports should have been printed and laid before the members of the Legislature dur- Ing the present week. Appreciating the vol- uminous business that must be trapsacted during the session, I propose to use my utmost endeavors to expedite such legislation as shall | in due course come before the Senate. ) & JACOB H.
