SESSION
QUESTION
Gov. Goodrich Is Determin-
ed to Find Way Out if at
All Possible Not to Call
Legislators Together and
Save State the Expense.
TINES BUREAU.

TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April 2o.-Gov-
ernor Goodrich IS still considering the
question OF whether there should be a
special session of the legislature. ana
there are some who believe that a
way will yet be found to avaid the
call. Just how It IS TO be done no one
has yet figured out. but the belief has
taken a deep root that way will be
found.
Judging from all that has been heard
on the subject lately. there Is a wide
spread hope that no special session
viii be found necessary. This hope Is
based on several reasons. One is that
Ii would be an expense to the state
Another IS that it would bring in q
number OF farmer members at time
when they should remain on their farm
to produce food Another IS that
special session should be avoided al
any time and especially at a time
when the country is in war and when
political campaign Is just starting in
the state
Three OF the propositions that have
been advanced to show the necessity
for a special session have practically
been disposed OF. according to some

who have been watching the course Of
events. Whether any OF the others
can be so handled. however. is a ques-
4 ton.
! For instance. II has been the idea
that the legislature must make appro-
/ pria tons to meet the greatly increased
/ cost OF maintenance OF the various
state institutions that either are out
of money or are in danger OF run
ming out. Just how much these addi-
tionaI appropriations viii amount to
has not yet been ascertained definite
/ ~. It is said. but the understanding
is that the total VIII not be so large
but what it might be met by the Gov
ernor out Of his emergency contingent
fund.
The Legislature would be called on
at the special session to provide for
the reconstruction Of the reformatory
building that were destroyed by fire
at Jefrersonville. II has been said
that the present remaining plant at
the reformatory is not adequate prop
rely to take care Of the more than 1900
inmates OF that institution. But 1t Is
said that plans are under construction
for the transfer Of something like 800
OF these reformatory inmates to the

they Will work in the manufacture OF
binder Irvine. II this plan is carried
out II VIII relieve the strain at the
reformatory to that extent and some
are OF the opinion that II might enable
the reformatory to set along until
after the next regular session OF the
legislature. II this should turn out
to be true It would ease up the de-
mand for special session. as far as
that point Is concerned.
That there will be no need OF Iegis-
lation at a special session to take care
Of the county council OF defense sit
uation also is evident from the opinion
given few days ago by Attorney-CIen-
oral Stansbury to Gilbert II. Hendren.
chief of the state board of accounts.
in which the attorney general held
that while there is no law authorizing
directly the expenditure Of money By
counties to maintain the county coun-
Gil Of defense, vet there IS ample au-
thority in the fact that the congress
created the Council of National De-
Tense and that the county council OF
defense OF the various counties have
the right to make appropriations to
meet the expenses Of thir county coun-
ellis of defense.
Acting on this opinion. Hendren has
prepared a schedule showing the
amount OF appropriations which he re-
CARDS as being fair and Just in each
county and the amount that he. as
state accountant. would be willing to
approve in passing on the legality OF
the actions or the various county coun-
ellis.
This plan will now be in effect. IN
less the courts decide otherwise. and
iii may be that the county council OF
defense question is out of the way
Possibly those who are at work on the
matter may vet be as successful in
eliminating the other important prob
lens that confront the state.
