Possibility of Extra Session.
Under the most favorable progress
1t will hardly be possible for the house
and senate TO adjust the difference
between the two bodies as to the
major items OF schools and roads in
volved in the appropriation bills IN
I'll the very last hours OF the session.
In this event. should the governor
veto important provisions Of the bill,
a step considered by many as alto
gether likely. an extra session of the
general assembly, to be called in about
two weeks after adjournment would
ben necessary.
The Order for To-day.
The STROBE Educational bin for ad-
mission of to the University. and the
Mapp bill amending the prohibition
act are on the calendar for today In
the order named. The house yester-
day ordered two hundred copies OF
the Mapp bin printed. and these will
not be available till noon. Several
other senate bills precede both meas
ures on the calendar, and whether
they will be reached during the day
Is uncertain.
The house committee on moral and
social welfare has reported out favor
ably the Mapp bill.
The Vote on the West Bill.
Fuller. of Richmond, made an ex-
tensive speech in favor of the West
bill. setting forth that the cities had
not received what they were entitled
TO under the original segr egafon plan.
and Delegate John w Carter made
a plea for the cities in support OF the
bill Those who spoke in opposition
we're Easiey, GiImer. slant. 0zlin and
Evans, and Buck.
Reed. OF Portsmouth, and Slant. Of
Bristol. had amendments similar in
purpose tow hich they spoke at length.
bat the vote to dismiss from the cal
endar was first in order and the
amendments were not reached.
DIR. Rolston had an amendment pro
viding that the money segregated 10
the localities be apportioned either
20 school or road funds.
The debate on the West bill was OF
high order. the mem hers speaking be
ing complimented by Former Attor-
ney-General Anderson for the very
able manner in which they had pre-
scented the intricate tax problems In
volved, and his own speech reached
heights OF eloQuence which called
forth storm Of applause on the
floor. more interest was shown in this
debate than upon any previous oc-
casion at this session. and Easiey
Slant. Reed, Gilmer. Evans and Buck
were frequently interrupted BY APP
plause. The latter gentleman closed
the debate with these words: KIN
this bin. XIII It for our country's
sake; kill il for the sake of it's friends
and kill ii So dead that not even its
ghost can escape 70 haunt the bed
side OF its promoters and cause then
fitful slumbers"
And the house thereupon proceeded
so TO do by the following vote:
