.\ ?. PREFACE

Again is verified the statement that every Legislature has its own peculiar feature. That of 1916 was an extra session, Sept. 12, 13, 14, called to provide some method of taking the votes of the Massachusetts soldiers on the Mexican border, of securing a constitutional adjustment of the representative districts in Suffolk county, and of providing suitable compensation to families of soldiers in United States service as members of the National Guard. A bill to prevent spread of infantile paralysis was passed also. Extra pay of $50 each was deemed just and reasonable, with mileage of 20 cents one way. This was the first extra session, called for special action, since that of 1872, called to provide for exigencies resulting from the great Boston fire in November, which lasted two weeks, and at which other matters were also considered. Aside from this feature, was the fact that more business was disposed of in less time than ever before. One threatened investigation was warded off; and another resulted in an ex- pulsion. There was less of railroad and street railway legislation than usual, and a reduction of the state tax of over a million dollars was the

cause of great rejoiciu'g and self praise, although it was brought about chiefly by the yielding up of larger sums than usual from the estates of wealthy citizens who died in the previous year, yielding unexpected amounts of inheritance taxes. The whole state government was Republican and "team work" brought good results. The "high cost of living" has compelled ine omission of certain data usually included in this "Souvenir."
