that some times legislators are blamed for rush ing legislation but that charge could hardly be made against our present legislature as only four bills have be come laws so far hut perhaps we ought to be thankful that we are saved from some bad laws by their deliberate action and when we come to think of it per hape it would be just as well if they would adjourn april 1st and go home but then you know this is a reform legislature and there is so much that needs reforming there is that civil service bill which will reform such bad counties as philadelphia allegheny and two others then there is the apportion ment bill the road bill the horseshoe ing board bill stnte prison commission bill state board of barbers bill and so on tanioa from grovei of ines the most healing thins on ll ki di the
