lonciliation the Purnosa

ihe '"o committees were appointed for the purpose or adjusting the differences petween the two houses. Their object is that of conciliation, of reaching soyna common ground of agreement One of the members of the senate committee is Senator Tunstal, who said today in speaking of the situation:
 The two committees should trv to settle the differences which exist. and they should do this regardless of the opinion which any individual member may hold.
 One should be willing to sacrifice his private opinion to the best interests of the state. The committees should en- deavor to reach some common ground of agreement, and they should do this as early as possible"
 Whether or not these differences will be settled by Wednesday is purely a matter of speculation, though many are of the opinion that the question will not be decided by that time-at least, in way that will be satisfactory to majority of the members It is be- lieved that the abolition of the back tax commissioner will again bring on a fight in the house, more strenuous, possibly, than the contest on Friday.
 To many the situation presents fea- lures of such complicated nature as to necessitate an extra session. There are few who now believe that the reve- nue bill will be passed by the forty fifth day, the time allowed under the constitution for the passage of this meas ure Should this not be done there can be little doubt of an extra session, though just when the special session will be called to meet is another matter. The opinion prevails, however, that, in the event the revenue bill fails to pass, the governor will call an extra session i'm mediately upon adjournment of the pres- ent session.

Personnel of Committees


 The announcement of the house com mittee proved source of considerable anxiety to the administration forces, par ticularly as the members of that com mttee had been most active in fighting what were regarded as executive policies all or whom had taken conspicuous in- terest in behalf of the Pegram bin.
 When the house adjourned the side that had carried the day in the house was outspoken in it's criticism of the speaker regarding the committee he had named. Leaders on the administration side claimed that it was unjust that they should have no representation on the committee of conference. Many claimed that the action of the speaker was un- precedented In naming on an important committee members of the house who dld not represent the dominating side. particularly when that committee had been appointed for the purpose of reach Ing an amlcable agreement with a sen- ate committee that was regarded as anti administration.
 On the other hand, friends of the speaker of the house claimed that the chair had appointed men on the com mittee who had taken the most conspic uous part in the passage of the revenue Dill in the house. and that the back fax commission feature was not the prime is- sue at stake.
 what agreement the joint committee will reach before Wednesday is a matter of conjecture. It Is certain that on soma Of the features contained in the bill if Will not be hard to reach an agreement particularly the county tax Commission clause, while there is known to be a wide divergence or opinion in regard to other amendments added to the bill
