Illinois Legislature Looks to Quick Adjournment and Reform
The Illinois legislature met at Springfield after the recess and began work on many bills. Leaders urge a swift session arguing the expense and length are unwarranted and that lawmakers should act for the people rather than the institution. Lawn Ridge Masonic Lodge reports strong improvement in membership and finances after installing officers with guests from Wyoming lodge. The Anti-Monopoly Association of Marshall County held a Saturday meeting, elected officers, organized, and passed resolutions urging support for farm clubs, granges, and state conventions, with adjournment set for February’s last Saturday.
