Committee appointments being; still un

and both houses contented themselves
today with cWHnjt their employes anu
passing- a few resolutions.
Innovations by Senator Poison.
Poison, it now Senator from Chehalii.
was to the fore today In shattering; a
few more precedents of ' Washington
Ies-lslatures. He first introduced a con-
current resolution to prevent the biennial
plunder of state property, the carrying:
away of waste naner baskets ajid miscel
laneous supplies by members and at-
taches. The resolution requires the
Sergreant-at-Arms of each body to as
semble and list all unused supplies at
the end or each session and deposit them
with the Secretary of State for use by
the succeeding Legislature. '
This was adopted and then Poison of
fered another resolution, also concurrent.
nxing February-25 as the date for, final
adjournment cutting the session down
from the usual 60 days to but 40. This
also passed . unanimously, after amend
ments to give, a fewness or-more days
had been proposed and defeated. Both
of these resolutions now go to the House
for approval or rejection.
Speaker Falconer is said to favor the
40-day limit, but Reld, the House leader,
is. reported In opposition, believing the
time too short to srlve proper constder
atlr to the Important measures.
Both houses unanimously indorsed the
selections made by the special committee
naming; employes. The number and salary
roll is considerably less than that of the
iwaj session.
Incidentally it is noticeable that in
neither house has the old-time resolution
been adopted to authorise the purchase
of $ worth' of postage stamps for each
member.'
Insurgents' Generous Policy.
Another peculiar matter is that none
of the three first signers of the Insurgent
agreement, nor any of the members of
the Senate patronage committee, asked
nor secured a single appointment for
themselves. And this committee, com
posed of all insurgents, gave to the old
timers, or opposition, an even half of tho
clerkship positions.
