If lha houaa keepa up thla record It will hara ap proitmately SiO bllla befora It. wero aa during recent acaalona the bllla In trthluced hava approximated onethou aand. and ahould thla proportion ba kept up during the aeaalon. tha pra nt houaa will hava eatabllahed a rec ord for having Introduced fewer bllla than any housa In tha pat decada. Bllla Coma In Slawly. Put all thla aeemlng alowneaa la to the credit rather than the dlacredit of tha houae, for It la not tha quan tity but the Quality of leglalatlva work that tha public la interealcd In. and great multitude of meaaurea usually meana fcverlah haate, tumult, logroll ing and riot In tha cioalnK daya of tha geMion. Speaker Stanrield haa been urging mewbera to get bnay and Introduce their bllla. believing that If they are going to Introduce bllla they ahould get them In and out of tha way before the Important work of the aeaalon la taken up. In the aenate no encouragement for the Introduction of bllla la needed, aa the record la allghtly greater than two yeari ago. There were SI bllla on the aenate calendar aa compared wltk it at the prevloua aeaalon. Fleet Meaaura la Dry Memorial. The flrat mcaaure of any kind con atdered by both houses at thla aeasloa waa the Joint memorial, by Seuator Kddy, petitioning congreaa to ote tha Metrlct of Columbia dry. The aenate put it through unanimously, but seven repreeentativee voted no. None of the Important measures that axe sure to come up made their appearance during the flrat week. The Joint committees oa alcoholic traffic, roads and highwaye and ta aurance have been worrying over the various relative problems confronting them under thla aame plan. The com mittee on alcoholic traffic expecta to unify all the conflicting auggeaUona and propoeala that have sprung np anrronndlng the pronoeed bone dry mcaaure. It will ait In open hearing to hear and discus the various argu ments that may be preaented tor or against the mcaaure, either by mem bers ol the legislature, or the general public.

The Inaurance committee of houae and aenate have been ecannlng the In aurance code prepared by Inaurance Commissioner Harvey Welle, and are now ready to hold open hearing on that measure, section by acctloa and claa by clasa.

Homeatead tsamptlon Law Prepoesd. A more workable homeatead demo tion law than the one now In force la propoeed by Senator Olson, lie aaya that while the present law contalna a JISOO exemption clause, property val ued at Itoo.ooo can be claimed aa a homestead and held out on creditor In case of bankruptcy. Also that a mechanics lien for repalra can be de feated by claiming the property aa a homeatead.
