No BILLS After FEBRUARY 20
Legislature Wants More Time to Con-
sicer Measures
Introduced.

OLYMPIA. Jan. ga rule that no
bills shall be introduced in the legis-
lature after February 20 will probably
be the house substitute for the sem
ate concurrent resolution that the leg
islature end the session in 40 days.
This rule is favored by Mr.. Falcon
err, speaker of the house, who said to-
day that he would like to see the ses-
sion shortened at least 10 days.
The committee on rules will be call
no intention whatever of smOthering
the senate resolution to adjourn in 40
days. The house has it's own plan to
submit as preferable to that of the
senate. Under the law no bill can be
introduced within 10 days of the end
of the session. but some of the men,
bers of the. rules committee, which
has charge Of the calendar, are in ia
vor of the legislature deciding that no
bill shall be introduced this year af-
ter February 20.
Certainly all bills can be introduce
ed by that time. That allows 80
days." said one of the members of the
committee. eff the rule is adopted the
legislature will have more time to
dispose of the bills before it and there
will not be that unseemly dangerous
rush there sometimes is at the close
of the session"
Members of the house point out that
the legislature will be in a better po-
sition to decide the question of early
adjournment after the arrival of the
date beyond which bills shall not be
introduced
