a day for final adjournment. Here's
hoping that they may not have to set
another. Attendpnce of late has
been so poor and the

so tagged with the fatigue of the long-
est. and most stcl'enuous session- on

ant business still remains under con-
sideration, It is time to quit and sale
to leave something for another as-
sembly to do. And the present ses-
sion has earned its release.

stands. theta can be no question In
the minds of those who have talked
with him
in summing up the substance at the
matter, he Midi “The bill. as amend-
ed. is so worded that the poor man
shall pay the rich mso'ii burden in
