! THE LEGISLATURE
; The fervor and hilarity of tho tlrbt
evening's session in tho Houso Wednes
day night furnished entertainment
, for everybody. It was a busy session
too, and witnessed thu closo of tho in

bpeaking of bills, tho Thirty-second
session has done fairly well. With
7H2 bills in the House and within I of
loO in the Senate, it is obvious that
there will be no time for idelness.
This calls to mind the time honored
sifting committee, the committee
which usually consists of two mem
bers frcm each congressional district,
which takes the wholo batch of bills
on the gonoral tile and reports for
passage only those- which a bakur's

their chanco for life on thu third read

on a sifting committee, ami it is pro
bable that tho House will got busy

Tho committee was voted thanks for
its thorough, comprehensive and in

licans and domocrats heartily joined,
aud tho senate concurred. Tho laugh
is rather on the governor and the pro
babilities are that thu executive will
bu more careful about listening to

that he has on lllo in his otlice positive

The leport of the joint committee
of the House and Semite on the remov
al of tho Uilivorslty was somewhat of
a surprise. The report has occasioned
much comment. It moans a good deal
to a good many people It moans
virtually tho removal of the State
University in Its entirety from Its
present position down in thu business
section within hearing of the clang of
the railroad tralllc to tho State Agri
cultural larm, more than two miles
aw ay. A great many people appeared
before the committee to argtto th
pros anil cons of the proposition. It
was, pointed out Unit students would
be ioiiioid from the seductive iullii-
eneesuf the wicked city if tho insti
tution should go to-the .state Farm.
On thw other hand it was shown that
members of thu faculty whoso homes
were established down town, and a
great many others, would bo seriously
at a disadvantage with the removal of
tho rnlvorslty.
