Not only did they defeat measures that meant a gain for humanity, but they attempted to move back: the hands on the clodk of progress. They left the State—dt least for this year— without hope of any remedy to check the ever-increasing, cost of government—a burden which is preasing upon the shoulders of every member of the Commonwealth, Temporary expedients, calculated to allay but not cure, were in high favor, Measures intended to bring about permanent improvement for the future were brushed aside. “The party caucus was used to stifle measu that have no political significance. ‘he Welfare Bills were not defeated, they were smothered. In fairness to the Senate, It must be said that it arose to the occasion, Probably at no time in our history was there greater reason for a free and open discussion of problems of woverument than at this very Ume.
