EXTRA SESSION
HASEVERYB0DY
HERE GUESSING
Predicted at Capitol Term Will
Run from Week to Two
Months.
MANY THINGS COMING UP
Members of Administration Fear
Assembly May Prove
Mistake.

The special session was the topic of
the hour at the capitol this morn
ing. Predictions as to it's probable
length were general, and the guesses
ranged all the way from one week to
four months.
Il was against special session to
the very last moment" said one mem
ber of Frazier's administration this
morning. "Now that the governor
has called it, am, of course, with
the governor, but fear he has made
a political blunder. A special ses-
sion under our. constitution is dan
gerous experiment. No one can pre-
dict what may happen.
"The expense Of the special session
will not be as great as a majority of
the uninformed have estimated. The
mileage expenditure will be $1,000;
the perdiem for members of the two
houses will run $3.50 per day, and cler
ical help, even If the staffs are much
reduced, will not cost less than $lWl
per day. Printing, depending on the
number of bills introduced, will run
from $100 to $500 the day. Then we
will have copies of the session laws
to be published The very shortest
time in which the legislature can meet
and run bill through both houses is
three days. If the term is confined to
three or four days, the cost may not
exceed $15.000.
100000 Unpaid.
"We now have about 100000 in un.
raid bills. To assure the legislators
their mileage and perdiem and other
ne-ses of the extraordinary assem-
bly,, it is possible that state Official,
w4n be required to do without theil
salaries for one month.
"Tax collections are now coming f.
in a fairly satisfactory way, and We
are meeting current expenses, but We
have almost half million in accum
ulated expenses to pay, and this spe
cial session is a new item of expense
which was not anticipated nor includ
ed in our budget. In budgeting ex
penses for this biennium, we assessed
taxes which would bring us about
100000 in excess of what seemed to
be our actual requirements. That mar

Hard to Convince.

Hard to Convince.
Premier Lloyd George, the cores.
pondent assured Trotzky, had never
made such a statement, but the Boil.
sheviki leader was hard to convince,
and said: THAT is the allies policy"
He added that the attitude Of the
Bolsheviki would not be influenced by
tn eattitude Of the allied governments,
but by that of the allied peoples.
TrOtzky was asked what the hope
he himself had of a general accept.
able peace. He replied that it was diff.
ficult to say because the Germans
had not yet been offered chance to
make such a peace, but he was sure
the Germans must need it.
Quotes Germans Deserters.
The Russian foreign minister quot.
ed German deserters as saying that
the Germans were unable to remove
troops from the eastern front in large
units. They were removing them one
at time and the men, knowing where
they were being sent, jumped from

Would Declare War on England.
Asked what terms he actually hoped
to get, Trotzky refused to reply, and
said laughingly:
If we were really logical, we would
declare war on England now for the
sake of India, Egypt, and Ireland"
The Daily News correspondent pro.

piled:
