Extra Session Talk

The state is vexed with a deficit and with uncomfortable laws. It is not al agreeable situation. This is not com forting-not bit fiattering to state pride or state sensibilities.
 This situation gives rise to rumors of an extra session of the legislature this winter or next spring, and Gov ernor Conner lends support to the ru- mors. He is looking for an extra ses- sion He considers one possible, even probable.
 The truth is, no extra session is needed. No immediate lack of money in the treasury is apprehended, and as for the uncomfortable laws the courts should be given a chance. Judicial decisions are more in order than new Legislation.
 The record of this legislature is not an enviable one. None of its great measures are in full force and effect, and it has scattered the surplus that Governor Jelks accumulated. It's rec ord is one that does not call for repetl- tion, and there is no demand among the people for a session that would in- crease the treasury deficit, for an extra session costs about $50,000, and it may pass laws that would cost the people many times more. The people will elect a legislature in 1910 that will not create deficit or pass impossible bills.
