HOUSE FAR BEHIND
SENATE. IN W€&K
With Only Ten Days Left for
Business — Discuss Fifty
Dollar Appropriations
for Hours.
Little Rock, April 24.—With
:miy ten days intervening be
tween now and the day fixed, for
the adjournment sine die of the
thirty-fifth general assembly,
the house: is confronted with
more than a hundred bills, that
originated in the senate and are
demanded by the people of the
?tate.
Under the joint rules govern
ing the. two bodies Friday was
a day for the transaction of sen
ate business, in the house and
house business in the senate.
The upper branch disposed of all
its business and at noon adjourn
ed until Monday. The lower
body wrangled over the appro
priation for the state university
at Fayetteville.
Again the anti-fraternity ques
tion, a matter which nine-tenths
of the people care little for, and
for which they do not feel any
great interest, be it decided one
way or the other, came up and
again that question was threshed
out.
Time was wasted. Hours were
3pent in wrangling over items
appropriating less than $50. And
for the day, at the very lowest
estimate, the state paid for the
services of the valued men who
contended in the house the sum
r.f $800.
Every forty-five minutes—and
space is too valuable to enumer
ate the hours spent without ac
complishing anything—the state
is paying $100. That is, basing
it upon the fact that $800 is the
lowest amount paid each day.!
The salaries of the members of'
the house amount to $600. Clerks (
and other attaches run the sum
up to $800 very easily.
When the statement is made
that important senate business is
in the house and has been for
days, weeks and months it is not
based upon any hearsay evidence,
nor does it come from the mind
of someone who is prejudiced
against the legislature. Criticism
may be heaped upon the entire
general assembly, and it doubt
less will be, but there can be
nothing fairly said against the
senate. There has been no waste
of time in that branch. Argu
ment on no bill consumes more
than half an hour. The men ex
press their opinions and they
count for what they may. Treble
the amount of work is done in
the senate that is done in the
house.
Facts beyond contradiction jus
tify the assertion that the house
has wasted time—valuable time.
The records show that general
bills affecting the entire state
were sent to the senate in the
first days in February, and that
these bills are yet in the lower
body.

I had been suffering with irregular, scanty and most painful menstru
ation, and when the periods occurred I was unable to be up and had to stay j
in bed for a day or two. Nothing I took helped me until I used Wine of
Cardui. It proved to be just what I needed. Within two months the *
serious pain nad disappeared, my headaches were less frequent and not so ■
severe and felt very much encouraged, but had to use your medicine for ■
four months before I was entirely well and regular. I have enjoyed the I I
