NO EXTRA SESSION
Of LEGISLATURE
REPORT ON INDUSTRIAL INSUR-
ANCE CANNOT BE COMPLETED
BEFORE NOVEMRER.
TIME is TOO SHORT TO ACT
Leading Members Advise Gov. David
son That Special Session Would
Be Unwise-Recess Appoin-
tees Are Anxious.

Madison.-Now that the platform
conventions have come and gone it IS
generally conceded here that there
will be no extra session of the legis-
iature this fall.
Gov. Davidson has let it be known
all along that he was prepared to
call session as soon as the special
committees appointed at the last reg
ular session were ready to report,
but only few Of them have their
reports completed and Senator San
born, chairman of the committee on
industrial insurance, one of the most
important subjects turned over to a
committee at the regular session, has
Informed members of his committee
that it will be impossible to get the
industrial Insurance report ready be-
fore the middle Of November.
AS the next regular session will
then be less than sixty days distant,
it is regarded as altogether improb-
able that a special session will be
called. In fact, it is known that lead
ing members of the present senate
have Informed the governor that
they would not attempt to pass such
important measures as would come
before the special session in the linn
tied time at their disposal. They are
agreed that it would be better to let
the matters entrusted to special COM
mittees go over to the coming regu-
lar session.
Many of Gov. Davidson's appoint
ments were made at the close of the
last regular session and hence are
simply recess appointments. 1t had
been expected that these would be
taken up for confirmation at the spe-
cial session, if one were called, and
the friends of some Of the imperiled
Officeholders have been urging the
governor to call such a session in
order to permit action on these ap
pointments. 1t is now evident that
even if a special session were called
the present senate is so constituted
that confirmation in some cases at
least would be doubtful, hence this
pressure upon the governor has been
relieved. The legislature of 1911
will start work with a heritage of
most important subjects left over
from the legislature of 1909, for leg
islating upon which all of the neces-
sary data has been gathered and
carefully digested.

1t is contended that the Marathon
