Mr. tit er, of Marion, was the mka
for sieaker of the house. Tit)
coalition does not suit all, but Uit
pro-pect of any considerabW
friction is not apparent, and legit
lation promises to le actively
enai'led. t
The foreshadowing of the worl
is not yet prominent enough to bt
read with certainty. ome de
cided action upon the assessment
laws seems certain, and the rail
road commission law will be
amended without doubt. Judging
from the number of applicants for
the position of commissioner there
will be no thought of repealing
the law. Some measure of power
will be given to the commission
ers, and the number reduced, pos
sibly, making only one, to ba
elected as are the other state offi
cers, hereafter.
The ersonnel of the two houses
impresses the observer with the
belief that they are. a capable.
earnest set of men and will devote
heinselves to the work before
