SOLONS FROWN
UPON SESSION
May Kick Over Traces If
Special Meeting Called
At TERMS End
Bx O o

AUSTIN. Feb. 27.-Rumblings
that the legislature may kick over
the traces II called back into spe-
cial session Immediately after the
6o-dsy regular session grind have
been heard In the house.
The questions o. date Of adjourn
ment and whether the new session
viii be ordered by the governor
without an interval between the
two have come to be uppermost In
the minds Of many Of the lawmak-
ers who have wearied Of the long
grind OF day and night meetings.
Rep. Graves Of Erath county has
confirmed the intangible rumor
that some members would be will
ing to shut off the special session
quickly and so home, II called back
ut once.
Indications are that the solons
viii be set down to the special ses-
sion work within "a hours after ad-
journment Of the regular term.
The 60-day period for which the
members are paid S. per day viii
end March 8. After that. members
would get but 81 for regular ses-
sion work. Special session pay Is
IS per day.
If the call brings the legislators
back within "a hours after ad-
iournment of the present session,
the state viii save about 5000 in
mileage of members to and from
their homes.
The senate has started out to get
the appropriations bills out OF the
way the first week Of the session.
There are three courses open, II
the members are recalled imme-
diately:
Adjourn without working on any
measures. as was done by a session
called by Gov. Pat M. Neff.
Pass the general appropriations
bills. disregard everything else and
end the session in a week. This
would recesSitate another session
called by Gov. Pat M. Neff.
Spend the 80 days in special ses-
sion. This probably will not finish
up the growing list Of important
general legislation that Is sure to be
before the session.
The general appropriations. state
civil service. public utilities regula-
ton and probably prison relocation
are listed at the top Of the special
session roster.
Some sessions develop a definite
preference to stay on the job and
finish up all the legislative work in
prospect for two years in a con-
tinuous stretch. In others. men,
bers decide they want to 70 home
and look after personal affairs for
a few weeks. There seems TO be a
divided sentiment in the present
session.
