COMMITTEE SEES EARLY MPLET|ON
 OF REVENUE BILL
Activities Of Recess Body Only Indication Legislature
 Soon To Assemble
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Although the adjourned session of the legislature is scheduled to be- gin at noon next Tuesday, only the work of the recess committee on finance and taxation Monday gave any indication that the long busi- ness session Is about to start. Mem bers of the finance and taxation com mittee began the reading of the dl4 t of the general revenue bill which will be offered during the early days of the session and which Is intended to care for the financial needs of the state during the next four years.
 Alfred M Tunstall, chairman of the committee, stated that the conl- nittee expects to complete the reading and to, approve the bill during the next AS hours. How ever, 1t Is not probable that the people will know what is in the bill until 1t is presented to the two houses. MT. Tunstall said the committee probably will not make public the contents of the measure until the legislature has begun it's session.
 Governor Brandon has been /vot- ing as much time as possible to Ehe preparation of his message to the
  second of his administration, but in- formation Monday was that it has not been delivered to the printer. Govern or Brandon has gone to San Antonio with the Woodmen and probably will not return to the state until SD <4N or Monday. Therefore, his message may not be available In printed form when 1t is read to the two houses Tuesday or Wednesday.
 The recess committees which have made investigations during the spring will hold their final meett ss before the legislature takes up it's work next week. Their reports and bills which they have drafted will be ready for Introduction during the first week.
 Indications arc that little business will be transacted during the first week. The work must be limited to the reception of representatives, mes sages and the consideration Of the measures which were left on the sem ate and house calendars when the first session was ended in February. Bills introduced on the first day must go to committees and cannot receive their second reading until the second session next week and cannot come before either house for passage until the third session
 The code committee has been called to meet Monday by Judge Hugh Mer Till and the recess committee on agrl- culture will meet either Thursday or Friday, according to J. M. Moore commissioner.
 The state child welfare commission has been called by Governor Brandon to meet July 9, and will consider contemplated legislation to better aid the work of saving the child life of the state.

came convinced this was the source or
