Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The State Legislature and Its Work Under the Party System
The Introduction of Bills - The passage of bills is the most important duty of the legislature and here the power of committees is strongly felt. A bill may be the result of the individual obser vation of a legislator, it may represent the thought of a community or an organization of citizens interested in the common good, or it may be instigated by some private corporation which expects personal gain thereby. Whether it is actually drafted by a legislator or by some in terested outside group, it must be introduced by a legislator and thereafter is known by his name. It may be brought forward in both houses on the same day; or, in controversial cases, it may be introduced at first only into one house, the one in which it will receive most support, in order that its friends may control it.
