Jackson.
Economy will be the ~watchword of
the present session OF the state legls-
latsra This has been developed In
the early sessions Of the two houses.
While the entire body probably feels
that a wanton waste Of the state reve-
nues and finances will not be counte-
nanced by their constituents back
home, there Is a minority element pres
ont known as the low pressure crowd
that will fight for the very strictest
kind OF economy.
The initial appearance OF this ele-
ment was made when a joint resoln-
ton was introduced in the house by
Mr.. Mcintyre OF Rankin county. The
resolution would prevent the state
from making bonds to pay current ex-
penses. 1t was adopted in the lower
body and referred to the senate.
Previously the ultra-economical had
attempted to defeat the passage Of a
resolution in the house to buy a new
carpet for representative hall. Again
they tried 10 defeat the passage OF a
measure making an appropriation OF
$3.50 from the contingent fund to assist
in paying the Inauguration expenses.
The oldtime crowd OF lobbyists and
hangers-on who for the past years have
been seen on the floor Of the house will
have to move to the gallery il the reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Barrett pass
20. Mr.. Barrett's resolution would en-
force the house rules strictly and for
bid anyone except members, employees
and reporters on the floor. The bill
will probably be f~avorably reported on
the rules committee.
Among the flood OF new bills that
have poured into the mouse is one that
attacks the statewide prohibition bill,
Mr.. Barrett from Warren county has
introduced a bill authorizing the manu-.
facture and sale Of beer and wine In
the state. Other alcoholic drinks are
still barred, however. The bill was re
ferred to the committee.
