 AT PAST SESSION . OF LEGISLATURE
Considerable Money Can Be
 Secured for Roads Build
 ing Despite Failure of Agreement on Measure

Gee, it looks like the morning after the night before" was the comment of visitor to the state house yester- day. as he looked at the piles of trash cluttering up the floor of the house and senate chambers and the numer- ous packing boxes. containing per sonal belongings of the members, pre- pared for shipment to their homes.
 Most of the membership of the legis- lature already had fitted gone home Co look after their fences and talk it over with the rest of the folks. Both houses worked until a. m. Friday morning. but the majority of both houses caught the first trains home just the same.
 Among the few who are left in town are President Johns of the senate and Speaker Peterson of the house, but both plan an early return to their constituents. Speaker Peterson eX- pressed regret that the educational code and the morality bills failed to get through. but was satisfied that much constructive legislation had been passed.
 Governor Sees Hope
 Governor Campbell. with 11S bills rushed through the legislature in the closing hours in front of him for con- sideratlon, spoke highly of the work accomplished by the solons of the scs- sion just closed.
 This legislature" said the gov ernOr. has passed more real construc- tive legislation than any similar body In the history of the state. The adop- ton of the budget system was a mat ter of progress, and the creation oi the board of regents for the univer- sity will lift that institution out ol politics.
 "The road situation" continued the governor. lis not as bad as it might bc. l am sorry that partisanship was injected into the matter. and that tn, legislature and myself could not agre, on a method of selecting the highway commission, but we will nevertheless be able 10 secure and use the fedora appropriations for road improvement This win be done by means of tho regular road levy, the motor vehicle tax. bond issues, and the special ap. propriations.
 State Engineer Maddox is working on the apportionment now. and vii have a report making recommenda tions of routes and allotments in va rious portions of the state ready in few days. 1T 1t becomes necessary (, call a special session. I shall be in clined to include the creation of 1; highway commission in the call. believe that measures of a non-loca and non partisan character could O. passed after the legislature has hear, from the people. ] intend to giv much personal consideration to th road program now being budgeted b. fhc- state engineer. and during trip through the state I hope to make l the near future I shall take up tn matter of the creation of a highwa board with the people.
 Tt was a matter of gratificatio that the house sustained my veto O the Winsor election bill. and I accep that action as an indication that mem bers of the house are meeting partisa matters on d fair basis. and in a spiri Of fair play.
 No Hope For Highway Bill
 'I am sorry that the educationa code and the morality legislatio asked by the government did not pas NuN m llt itlltT HldNltI small UT through the state board of health. { 90 work with the federal authoritie that what they desire may, in part ; least. be accomplished
 Conspicuous in the pile of legisla ton stacked up for the governors con sideration is the highway bill and tt land bill. The former is expected b both democrats and republicans to | vetoed. as it is practically the san bin passed before. with the emergenc clause removed. and takes away froi Inc governor the power of appoint ment of the board.
 The land bills fate is uncertain. carries a provision lifting the limit rentals. now one section, and a 2l year clause. General opinion abol the capitol seemed to be that tn bill would also get a swing of q governors axe.
 Among the other bills awaiting ti governors action. none of which expected to receive attention tn week. are the following:
 Some Bills With Governor
 Regulations for contracts Of sale
 Appropriation of si0O,0O0 to he
