Sources of additional revenue were
talked over by the senators and assem-
blymen. A ~recaSting of the state trans
Ter inheritance tax law so as to yield
about 100000 a year additional was
proposed by the conferees. AS viewed
by some of the legislators an increase
In the Inheritance tax may be accom-
plished to yield revenue for state in
situations in place of the proposed
S14,GO0O00 bond issue, defeated at the
last election.
Informal action seemed to forecast a
lclash at the coming session between
Governor Edwards and the Republican
majority. For example, it was decided
that the governor should be interrogat-
ed respecting his failure to appoint a
member of the Maternity Commission
authorized at the last session and that
he should be asked to explain his fail
ure to appoint w women to the state
department of health, as required by
law. An investigation by the Materni-
ty Commission has been held up
awaiting the governors appointment.
Senator Mackay, who Is to be presi-
dent Of the next senate, announced he
would draft a housing bill upon his
own initiative, e~mbodying some Of the
features Of bills defeated last year.
Legislation to give local school
boards more latitude ia handling
schXoi affairs was also suggested at
the conference. The suggestion Is the
outcropping OF a general movement.
