Some Say Yes, Some Say No, and Everybody Seems Lacking in Anything Like Definite Informa- tion
WORK IS RUSHED
 BY BOTH HOUSES
Appropriation Bills Have Not Been Passed and There Are Still Many Other Matters Demand ing Attention

Whether there will be a special ses- sion of tile legislature seemed to be d question as much in the air last night as eyer Tine same sources of iufOr- nation that have been answering the question in the affirmative for week maintain their ground and point to the fact that much important business cannot possibly be disposed of today which is the last day of the regular session. even admitting that the more important bills are all well advanced, except the appropriation bills which had not appeared at dark last night. Nevertheless both houses rushed things yesterday Just as though they had to finish today. sidetracking some mat tcrs and putting others along under suspension of the rules
 The senate measures for taxing the railroads, express. telephone and tele- graph companies were passed along to third reading ready for action by the house today. as was the weights and measures bill and numerous others. But they have vet to be passed and sent to the governor and sOme of them win have trouble in the finish. The senate passed the house drainage and irrigation bills and has quite q number of important house bills mp for third reading anI final action. The senate yesterday killed the house bill for the new highway and state engineer law in an effort 10 shove it's similar bih down the throat of the house, but the house last evening amended 1t and the senate will have some concurring to do today if the bill becomes a law. and If it don't-weH, who wants q highway or an engineer anyway?
 The house bills for creating Hunt county anu sIicing up Navajo county passed yesterday but it is predicted they will come to grief in the senate today if they are reached at all. The fight of MT. Maddock for Hunt county was one Of the incidents of the ses- sion and the young man did himself proud and was universally congratu lated on his success, whatever the fin al issue
 The constitutional mandates will of course receive first attention, and the session wil hardly adjourn without passing appropriation bills. All these things take time and there is big pile oL work to do even though most of the Important measures are now throug1 the committee of the whole and ready for the final contest.
 Tn the midst of all it's rush yesterday, however. the senate found time to play politics by passing it's advisory recall measures affecting federal judges, United states senators and represen- tatiyes If 1t takes as long however, Co finish up an advisory recall bill as it does a state judicial recall biI nobody need worrv over what will be done this session.
 The house antitrust bill is among those taking regular course in the sen ate as are supervisOral district, and labor bills of one kind and another, while the employers liability act is in the same position in the house. And, further. the house accepted three new bills yesterday and the senate one, one of the house bills being to fix up lit tie matter in which the governors $ private secretary is interested to the extent of $250 per month.
