they reach the upper chamber and all
the boys have to do la to vote. That’s
the reason so much of the house’s
time is taken up with these matters.
A deal is in the making to obtain
about 33,000,000 for a new state hos­
pital “without cost to the taxpayer.”
Last session a bill was put through
adding 50 cents to all auto drivers’
licenses to take care of indigent hos­
pital cases resulting from automo­
bile accidents. In two years this fund
has accumulated about $250,000. Only
about $18,000 has been used, leaving
a very handsome balance, and it has
given some of the lawmakers a few
good ideas for obtaining enough
money for a hospital. The thought is
to place a small state tax on all beer
parlors and perhaps a small tax on
liquor, earmarking all such revenue
for a new state hospital. It is esti­
mated that
now, it’s almost a certainty the boys
will be there for at least another
week after March 1, unless they hold
many night sessions. Most all of the
important bills are yet to be acted
upon. At the last election the voters
extended the regular session from
40 to 30 days, but when you take eight
Sundays and two legal holidays out
of this total it only leaves 40 days
of working time, and that’s mighty
short for legislative business once
every two years. Not for close to 30
years has the legislature been able
to complete its chores in the allotted
time and go home.
