No Special Session

There will be no extra session OF
the legislature for the purpose OF
taking action in reference to the
present high cost Of living, Gov
ernor Robe rtson declared this
morning in commenting upon the
action Of the county attorney yes
terday in adopting . resolution
calling for q special session In the
event all other remedial measures
fail.
81 still adhere to the opinion
that the matter cal be handled BY
county attorneys and grand iu-
res," said the governor.
Investigation Of the high cost OF
living and alleged proii,eering IN Ok
lahoma county will start Immediately,
according TO Robert Burns. county at
,orney, this morning. Probes in every
county OF the state will result from
the meeting yesterday OF county at
torneys witt Governor Robertson.
Burns asks that every one in Okla
homa City take i, upon himself TO re-
port to him all instances OF profiteer-
ing that come TO his attention.
Probe Must Help.
I'VE don't want gcneral,,ies,' he
said, but we do want detailed reports
of specific cases OF profit.ering or
boarding in Oklahoma county. This
Investigation cannot be done in 4 day.
1t is a job that will take some little
time and a great deal OF research. Ok
lahoma Ci,yans can help TO bring
quick results by giving Us this infor-
nation"
The big stumbling block in the way
OF the work at present, Burns says, is
the lack of any Oklahoma laws under
which proii,eering can be prosecuted.
He believes that until some suitable
law is drawn up the work will neces-
sarily be confined TO collecting OF evi-
dsnce and to minute investigation ct
the situation.
This matter was discussed at length
at the meeting in the state capitol yes
,erday. Burns says, and the lack OF
proper laws was brought out.
Doesn't Want Grand Jury.
Burns is not In favor OF calling a
grand jury. He said this morning that
the cost Of calling 4 grand jury in
each county in the state would be
greater than ,ha, of calling 4 special
session OF the state legislature He be-
leves a special session could draw
up a comprehensive law in a week or
ten days.
"One OF the big features" Burns
said, is the meat situation. II is re-
ported tina, the packing plants are
stored full of meats and that they arc
contemplating stopping further moves
and laying off large number OF I'm
ployes. The trouble seems to be that
the people will no, buy the meat At
the present high prices and the pack
trs and retailers will not sell the meat
for lower prices"
While the county attorneys office is
planning to 60 deeply into the situa-
ton i, will be hampered somewhat by
the necessity Of keeping up It's other
work. Il will b. impossible Burns
pointed out today, to neglect the prose-
cution OF criminals.
