 While these are the only topics that may be considered by the Legislature without special action, either of the two houses may take up other sub iects with the consent of two-thirds of the membership. Many matters of consequence. over which there will be no special contest. are expected to be taken up in that manner.
 The question of State prohibition, al- so. will doubtless be taken up, f. as expected. two-thirds of each house of the Legislature will consent to such consideration.
