SOLONS ADJOURN
 UNTIL SATURDAY.;
 TWO BUSY SESSIONS
Legislative Committees in Interim Will Consider the Recommendations of
 Recess Committees
By L. s. RETTY

Montgomery, July 1s-(Special By joint resolution the-two houses of the legislature adjourned at o'clock this afternoon until Saturday morn- Ing. In the interim the various leg islative committees will consider the numerous recommendations of the re- cess committees and will probably de- termine upon some definite legfsla- tive programme for the present ses- sion. The recess committees also will hold daily sessions.
 The sessions of the two houses this afternoon were featureless. In the house the entire afternoon was con sumed in hearing the report of the investigation committee and in the senate the passage of local bills, left over from last session. and the intro duction of resolutions were the prin- cipal subjects under consideration.
 Resolutions Introduced
 Several resolutions were introduced in the two houses today bearing on the cotton situation In the south and on the English blockade of cotton and foodstuffs exported from this coun- try.
 In the senate MT. Bulger of Talla poosa offered a resolution calling upon the President to use his influence to induce Great Britain to withdraw her blockade against cotton shipped from this country. Practically similar reso- lutions were offered by Senators Lee of Etowah and Jones of Barbour. In the house Representative Griffin of Ma rengo presented resolution seeking the same end.
 The governors bond issue measure was made special order for next Tuesday morning at II o'clock
 This bill was under consideration in the senate when the legislature ad- journed last March.
 None of the recess committee re- ports were read in the senate today, though they were presented to that body. The house will first act upon these documents. after which they will be sent over to the senate for fur ther consideration.
 Weakley Bill Presented
 The Weakley revenue bill. prepared by the recess finance and taxation com mittee. was presented to the two houses today and printed copies of the measure were placed on the desks of members.
 As Is known the bill provides for q state board of equalization consist Ing of three members in lieu of the state tax commission the members ot the board of equalization to be ap. pointed by the legislature for terms of two, four and Six years after which they are to be appointed by the gov ernor. The member elected by the leg islature for six years Is to serve as chairman of the state board
 County boards of equalization, com posed of three mem mbers. are to be ap- pointed-one by the state board, one by the county board of revenue and the third member by tho first two named.
 This bill probably will not come up for serious consideration before next week

Printing Acts of Legislature

Our laws now provide for printing the acts of the legislature three separate times: First, during sessions of the leg islature for distribution in pamphlet form mong the members of the legislature; second, after the adjournment of the leg islature in newspaper: third, in per manent bound volumes. We see no neces- sity for publishing these acts except in the bound volumes. and. therefore, rec omend that the other two publications be dispensed with.

says about him-whether her remarks
are laudatory or derogatory matters
