The house of representatives again : tool; I lie two hours and more of Its session to handle mallei's that 'might easily have been provided tor by gen- eral laws, or perhaps even by a well organized woman's .sewing circle. To be sure there were several matters of considerable importance before the house, but they were pus!ed back to make way for "hen bills' and "Fido" hills; as dog laws are known, and other local measures whose importance, hardly seemed to justify the time given to them.

The lobbyist who jvonld button-hole a member in the rotunda and by persuasion or en ticement of any kind try to induce him to vote for or against a measure would, under the hill, run the risk of paying a fine of $200 to $1,000 for his offense. The joint committee on courts and judicial circuits reported favorably the bill which is designed to reward faithful superior court judges by yiving then fin increase in salary. A minority report opposing the bill was submitted and it was made the spec ial order for next Tuesday. The bill provides that judges shall be paid j$ 1 00 per week, the maximum salary to he $4,00;); but, and here is the gist of the measure, unless a judge (Continued' From Page Two.)
