Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 3.-The prospects
for an adjourned session as proposed
by Governor w. L. Harding in his mes
sage are not encouraging If expressions
heard in the legislative chambers yes.
terday afternoon are an indication
The general sentiment seemed to be
that the members would not favor
coming back to Des Moines for an adj
journed session at their own expense
The question Is also raised as to
whether or not It would be possible to
accomplish any more at an adjourned
session than at q regular session.
AS to the proposal to make q yalua-
ton OF the Iowa railroads It is being
predicted that It will be difficult, to
get such measure as this thru the
present general assembly.
A Code revision is very necessary
said Senator 'sCady" Chase Of Hamil-
ton county yesterday, "but it should be
done thru the office Of the code edi-
tor 1t would be a task which would
require the services OF high priced men
expert in the law. II, would take time
as well as ability and hard work.
.As to the adjustment OF boards or
commissions where there is duplication
offwork it seems to me we are as well
equipped to do that right now as we
Will ever be. The retrenchment and
reform committee has the power to
undertake this sort OF thing" 81
Similar to Pitt Program.
The program as outlined by Cover
nor Harding is much the same as that
proposed by, Speaker NJ. B. Pitt a few
weeks ago in an interview given out
to the newspapers. Speaker Pitt de-
-cIared atsthat time that these matters
of code revision, changes in the tax
laws and the question of abolishing
certain Offices would require investiga-
tons on the part of joint committee
OF the two bodies. These members
should be the most competent that 1t
is possible to obtain. He said the aver
aSe legislator did not have time to In
vestigate these things for himself and
if they were to be done competent
coI,fnittees should get the information
ant present Il q an adjourned session.
ON the house side, however, the sup
porters OF Speaker Pitt and Of the adj
say they will support
these Recommendations as they consid-
era the party pledged to carry them
OUT. While some Of them frankly adj
nit they will not especially relish COM
ing.baQk to an adjourned session, new
erthelS4sfthey consider it a duty inn
posed on them by the party.
