The newspaper have lately reported that Governor Hadley has proposed tb creation of a commission to investigate the liquor question snd report, for legislative consideration, a policy adapted to conditions in this state. Such a suggestion has been made to the governor, not by him, and he has said that he thinks it a good proposition, but he has not nrged it for present consideration certainly not as a proposition in lieu of the Tarious dramshop and prohibition measurss now under consider ation by the legislature- The suggestion came originally, per haps, from a Congregational minister in St. Louis, who has given the matter of prohibition and license the thought which intelligent preachers generally give it. Membersof the preseut General Assembly who have ad vanced their ideas about prohibi tion or regulation of the liquor tmftic are going ahead with the bill they have introduced and the governor is not interfering or seeking to hinder them- The people should not acoM1' to readily newspaper statem nts coiu-ornlI!g the policy of the gov ernor toward any public matter, as he is frank in all statments made for publication and never leaves a doubt, in what ho auih ori.'.oa roporters to say, about his intentions or iews. He has pro nounced iews concerning the relation of the state to the liquor traffic, which lie expressed freely during the campaign- He stand squarely for observance of the Sabbath by liquor stdlers, to the secrutkin of the saloon from oor.tro.1 of breweries, distill ers or wholesalers, and for the elimination of the liquor interests from party nominations. As to particular measures covering these suggestions he hs not yet spoken, but lie is clearly ou record and in dead earnest for belter laws for the regulation ud control of the liquor trau II.

Je?erson City, Feb jary 20.- Visitors this week ave found everybody about th- state house busy. The law ma iers are busy night and day on the many bills which le been introduce'!. While the Senate sessions have been short each day the senators have all been engaged in com t tee work. Senate bills are rush ed to second reading and : fer red to committees as quick as thev are printed. Nearly two hundred such bills are cow in the hands of committees, and a goodly number have been report ed upon and are on th- calendar for engrossment. Next week the Senate will have enough bills under considerotion to keep the senators at their desks morning and afternoon. No bill has yet passed either branch of the U. htture, though several engrossed in the Horn ' About 600 bills have so ui introduced in the House and about i 4!. SerAte. At least a dozen big measures will be ready for introduction early next week, among them several special! desired by the governor. The city le!egation is trying to aeree on a home rule bill, in order that the governor may be consulted about it before it is in troduced. Severa! dramshop bills are now pending, drawn in harmony with the KopubKcan state plat form and the recommendations of Governor Hadley- One of them provide that no man who holds a public ofiice of any kind may be licensed to keep a dram shop. It also prohibits license to any one holding membership in a political party committee. It is not constitutional to prohib it a saloon keeper from holding oftit, but it is do-igucd to rule the sal.:i keeper out of politics Governor Hid!e has r.ot been asked to approve i l Another bill, follow ing tie' suggestion of lh- m'Vcir.-'i", is intended to entirely separate the saloon from ownership or o'li'n I by brewers dist i!!irs, or wholesaler.
