What This Year s Legislature Has And Has Not
The Massachusetts Legislature's present session will likely last until June 15 or later. It has rejected Governor Bates's recommendations, including corporation tax payment, liquor license fee shares, a reorganization of the State Board of Agriculture, and woman suffrage. The inheritance tax faces defeat in the Senate, no new labor laws have passed, and the semicolon law remains unrepealed. The 1904 legislature, like Congress, will be remembered for doing little beyond spending money.
