Sufficient Suf-ficient to Hay that tho legislation covering cov-ering tho appropriations nud tho authorizing au-thorizing of public expenditures has been most carefully considered nud wisely enacted. The legislation commonly com-monly referred to as the rate legislation, legisla-tion, tho pure food bill, tho Inspection feature of the agricultural bill, are measures that affect the interests of all the people, and while nothing perfect per-fect can bo enacted, I am satisfied thnt tho operation of t' eso lawa will demonstrate dem-onstrate their wisdom.
