JUNKETS REDUCED
Gov. Hooper Said to Have Put
One Over" on Legislature

Friends of Coy. Hooper are now
claiming he put one over" on the
legislature in the matter Of regu-
lating the junketing committees.
The story is being circulated that
after an unbridled resolution pro
viding for these committees had
passed Che house, a resolution Of
the governors own drafting was
substituted in the senate for the
house resolution, and this was
by the house and the SEN
ate.
1t is claimed that by limiting the
time of these committees, denying
them the use of sergeant-at-arms
and expert accountants, and max
ing necessary the itemizing of ex-
penses, the junketing business will
cost only $4,000 this year, as
against $4,000 two years ago.
The state auditor takes the place
of expert accountants.
