FOR
LEGISLATORS
TO ATTEND SESSION TODAY
HAD FAILED TO PUT'THRoUGH
APPROPRIATION BILL.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 20
Under instructions from the presiding
officers, members of the legislature
have been telegraphed to return TO
Oklahoma City for the Monday ses-
sion. Action of the house early this
Sunday morning in declining to
at this time adopt the conference
committee report on the general ap-
preparation bill owing to the senates
position on bills creating department
al positions, has placed the general
appropriation measure in the balance.
The house adjourned until 10 a. m.
Monday and the senate until 1:9O p.
m. Monday.
1t is the belief of senator's that
sufficient number of house members
will appear to vote Monday morning,
and put the bill through as agreed
upon by the conferees late Saturday
night.
Question of Employees.
Difference between the houses
arises over the senate's failure to give
favorable consideration to recommen-
dations made by the house general
investigating committee with refer
ence to designating the number of
certain state departments
shall have. 1t has been the COM
mittee's intention, and the house in
passing the bills has approved the
policy, to say in separate laws how
many and no more employees certain
departments shall have, and name the
salaries to be paid. 1t was further
The intention to make the general ap-
bill conform to the laws
referred to, the committees decla-
'ation being that this would block the
departmental practice of hiring people

gent funds. The departments in

Of the school land department.
The main contention arose over the
leasing division of the school land
department. The senate took the po-
sition that this division was subject
10 numerous changes, owing to the
work varying in volume, and that no
good policy would be subserved in
mailing it down to a fixed basis. All
other departments save that of the
state auditor were acted upon by the
senate.
Complaint Of Contingent Allowance.
A further complaint of the house
was that the general an
'rop1ation bill contained the usual
arge allowances for contingent ey-
lenses, a matter the committee found
