VERDICT OF THE LAWMAKERS
Cannot Complete Their Work in
 Thirteen Days Allotted.
Many NotabIes Now Thross the Hotel Lobbies and General opinion Is
 that solons win stay Through Summer.

. prolongation of the thirteen days re- matning to the lawmakers under the Constitution is inevitable and neces- sary-such is the opinion of the ad- vance guard of the lawmakers who reached the city last night for the opening of the adjourned session on Tuesday.
 There was only one opinion on this question. All agreed that the Legis- lature could not possibly accomplish half it's work unless longer time than thirteen days was given 1t.
 Senator John H. Bankhead was among the very first arrivals. He came in yesterday morning from his home at Fayette where he has been for the past two weeks. He assumed charge of his headquarters in Rooms 100 and 102 at the Exchange Hotel.
 The Senator was the one prominent figure in the hotel lobby during the day and the early part of the night. The members of the Legislature who came in yesterday left no doubt as to their position on the question of elect ing the successor of Senator John T. Morgan. Senator Bankhead was con- tinuaily listening to the kind things the lawmakers were saying to him.
 The Senator said that he had no statement to make because no situa- tion had arisen to call for a statement.
 Bankhead is Gratified.
 T am gratified at the expressions I have heard. said the Senator" T am lead me to believe that there will be no sort of opposition to She will of the people expressed at the primary. af- convinced that no longer ts there and serious intention of opposing the will of the, Democratic, voters"
 The early corners c'Lded number Of the most prominent members of the hotel Hobbies was not as large as was expected. 1t so happened that the lawmakers were due to come to of ss great ns s1ortyp sps o the Tn nssmbsrs i've in the county or or in small towns an ithey have been d bit afraid of the heat Of the city during hAiievsd that auits number of mem bers held off until the last moment
 Among the prominent arrivals yes Of % Jsffsrson. sss sSs RspSessntatives Ta steeaii of Dale, McCreary of Conecuh. Afford of Geneva Coleman of Marshall, 6herrod Of Lawrence, Rattray, Of Cherokee, Pitts. of Perry, Lee of Etowah, Sena- tor Gum of Clarke and several others. Judge Dan Green and Max Winlxler, of Jefferson were among the early ar rivals of those who take an interest in legislative matters.
 The chief topic among the early ar rivals was the possibility of pro- fongation of the summer session. No man among them could see how the Legislature could possibly get through the work that js before it.
 T have four important local bills, bills that are of the greatest impor- knce to my county" said Representa- five McCrary. But whats the use of Introducing them if we are going to have only thirteen days? We can't get through with what is already be- fore us if that is all the working time nrA Afvaar A1 though, that the Governor will give us more time when he sees how badly we need 1t"
 Representative Jack cranford thought 1t useless to talk about the Legisla- ture finishing its work in thirteen days.
 As far as am personally con- cerned." said Captain Jack, being at home or being here during the sum mer doesn't make any difference with me. But no man Is foolish enough to say that tha Legislature can finish all it's work in thirteen days Why there are enough local bills on the calendar and in the committees to take up the full thirteen days to say nothing of the general bills. It would take the Legislature thirteen days to pass all the general bills that are on the call endar. The Legislature could not pos- sibly pass in thirteen days the bills that members are bringing to Mont gomery in their pockets
 The proposition to repeal the tax on corporations which loan money in Ala bama seemed to be uppermost in the minds of the lawmakers. If the ad- vance guard represents the sentiment of the Legislature. the repeal bill will certainly be passed. Senator Charles B. Teasley of Montgomery, will intro- duce bill for the repeal of this act passed by the Legislature at the winter session. Senator Teasley bitterly op- posed last winter the passage of a bill placing the exorbitant tax on for eign money lending corporations At one time it appeared that he would be successful in his fight last winter. but Governor Conner threw his influence in favor of the passage of the bEl and 1t went easily through the Legislature.
 TeasIey Seeks Repeal
 T believe firmly that the Legislature will now repeal this act adopted last winter and which has proved itself such a bar to the progress and devel- opment of the State" said Senator TeasIey last night. T shall at the first opportunity introduce a bill for its re- peal. The bill will be slightly differ ent from the law as it existed when the tax act of last winter was passed. Under the old law no tax was charged on money loaned by corporations whose principal business was the lending of money. My bill shall be a bit broader than that. l shall provide that the ex- emption shall apply not only to the money loaned by corporations whose principal business Is the lending of money, but to money loaned by cor porations organized in other States who wish to loan money in Alabama For instance, a big insurance company may desire to loan sS0O.OO0 for the erection of a big building in Birmingham or Montgomery. Under my bill they will have the same chance as any company whose principal business is the lending of money"
 The Legislature may take a vote on the election of United States Senator tomorrow. The race Is settled and there is a disposition that a resolution will be passed in both Houses naming the hour at which each House will vote separately for Senator. On the second day of the session the House and Sem
