BRIEF SESSION OF HOUSE
Adjourned Because of Scottish
Rite Reunion in Valley
of Santa Fe.

Legislative interest seems at low
81 ebb. However. leaders are figuring
on putting through absolutely essential
:. financial legislation before adjourn.
: ment three weeks hence. Speaker
Baca remarked today that beginning
next week there would be night ses-
, slons OF the House. There is talk of a
special session, and While the Capital
would not be averse to keeping the leg
j, islators here for another month or
t TWO, an extra session can hardly be
f Justified, for there is nothing that the
extra session can do that is not within
t the power Of the present session. The
salary bill is causing much wrangIing
but agreement on it is almost complet-
) ed. The main point of difference re-
naming is that on the salary of coun-
5 t| school superintendents, il being
maintained that $500 a year is too
: low, and that the salary should be
$1,000, especially since it covers Incl
dental office expenses, travel allow
; ance, stationery and clerical assis-
tance. There is some justice in that
plea.
The corporation commission bill is
still tied up up in the Ways and Means
committee The pure food bill act is

more liberal bill. Senator Clark is
working hard on the general appropri-
alton and revenue bills which are alb
. solutely necessary TO the state. But
, as to legislation on other subjects. the
outlook is not very encouraging. After
revenue and financial matters are
once adjusted and tried out during the
rest of the year and after the Novem-
Der election has cleared the atmos-
phere it is believed that there will be
disposition among the legislators of
both houses to get down to a compre-
:. hensive legislative program. to forget
that the House and the Senate are
two different bodies with different OBJ
jects in view, but remember, that all
:, are legislators entrusted with the task
:, of getting together on legislation need
o ed by the state and of benefit to its
people.
