for the long term.
Ttlorc than a majority of the members
of the legislature are pledged ' to vote

one week and give more time for working
out their schemes.
Many matters or legislation HJ CQnie
before the l&wmaklnir body: so many are
now In sight that the session promlnefl
-to be the busiest yet held. The most
active are those involving privileges of
corporations in one way or another, such
as Railroad Oommisslon, rata regulation,
reciprocal demurrage as to cars, control
'if the public water powers, taxation of
franchises, amendment of the gross earn
ings tax on telephone, telegraph, express,
sleeping car, refrigerator car and oil com-
parties: regulation of railroad and wagon
road grant lands and lands of timber
syndicates; termination of perpetual fran
i'Mhm and control of state banks.

maKe flatus tor recognition In the Legis-
lature by 'Counties that think themselves
entitled to more representation than they
have been receiving- or whose repreaenta-
lion Is likely to oe cut down. .:
Large Appropriations.
Appropriations will probably be large,
first on account of the large amount of
money the state must raise for general
running expenses, and then on account
of demands tor heavy expenditures such

Xcw Water Code.
1 1 seems ' altogether probable that
the Legislature will pass a bill for a
new water code. While the terma of
the measure have been by no xneana
agreed upon, it Is generally asserted
among those who have studied the
subject that ft Is of great Importance
to the development of the state that
a system of adjudication should be
established, so that the extent of ex
isting water rights will become icnown,
thus enabling Intending .Investors tO
determine where there Is unappropri

much of the alleged opposition to th
bill prepared by a committee ks k

of til.
measure is to regulate the USe Of Wa
ter so as to prevent waste, and secure
to every water-user the uninterrupted
enjoyment of his risht. There may be
somi opposition to the bill upon the
ground that It authorises the employ

ours has Jiroken at 1 records relaxing to
the accumulation of riches, and we are-
beginning to think In billions Instead of
millions. Take it any way you like, and
the measure of our affluence outstrips
anything that ha ever been Known be

more productive mines, morn railroads,

One day last October T"ncle Sam had

of the world gold representing :p71.KSr3.81,9.
