TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
Accept House Amendment 10 Inves-
tigation Resolution.
DEBATE WAS SHARP.
The Governor Was Handled Rather
Roughly, Some Senators Charg-
ing dim With Opposing
an Investigation.

Austin. Sept. 2o.-There was a spir-
it'd debate In the senate yesterday what
tiineit was in session and after a stormy
debate the house amendment 70 the
resolution passed by the senate last
week. providing for the appointment Of
a special committee 20 investigate AL
state departments and report 70 the
next legislature. was adopted.
Plain words were used by the senators
and ths governor was sharply criticised,
some senator's charging that the gov
ernor and his administration were try
ing 20 prevent an investigation.
The debate was precipitated by tho
reading Of an opinion from the attorney
general. addressed 90 Senators Staples
and Paulus. wherein the attorney gen
eral advised that the Legislature could
not constitutionally pass in special ses-
sion the resolution providing for al in
vestigAtion Of all state departments and
institution. except the governor submit
the matter 70 them. This opinion Gre
ated considerable surprise. bacsuse the
attorney general. on Sept 70. advised
one Of the members Of the house In
writing that there were no constitution
al objections 70 the resolution.
In the first opinion the attorney gen
eral did not refer TO the question OF
right Of power OF the Legislature to pass
the resolution in special session. He
had been asked simply - TO the consti-
tutional right Of the Legislature 20 pro
vide by concurrent resolutions for such
an investigation. and in connection with
the request copy Of the resolution
which had then been offered in the
house was submitted TO him In the
reques, for information since that time,
made by Senators Staples and Paulus,
he was asked the direct question a. TO
whether or not the Legislature had au-
thority 10 pass the resolution NJ this ex-
ira session. the governor having sub
mitted only one subject for considera-
ton. namely, appropriations.
The attorney general in his second
opinion adheres TO his former advice,
that 1t is competent for the legislature
10 provide oy resolution for the contem.
plated investigation. but adds that a res
olution can not be legally acted upon at
special session unless submitted by
the governor.
The senate held two sessions. one be-
fore memorial services and one after.
