Seeing The Legislature From The Gallery
(By Mildred Hermann

biAS Ooo S0CiN NSA<N SAAiNA M Si ' CNN of Is to 6. The whole affair had most of the aspects of a horse trade. The opponents of the bill agreeing to go along with overrid- ing the veto if the other side would yield to their introducing new in- come tax bill. And that was the way it was handled.
 , The argument on sustaining the veto was long-drawn out and de- tailed with mine lobbyists out in abundance, and everybody show ing how everyone else was wrong
 All members of the Second Divi- son delegation voted to evorride the veto.
 Immediately after this action was taken a new income tax bill was introduced in the House by unanimous consent. Ii closely re- sem5leS the income tax bill de- feated in the Senate last week.
 This new bill is authored by l4 House members, including Ed An derSOn and Ost, so it is assured of enough votes to pass the House. Whether or not the Senate will ac cept it remains 10 be seen, but if they do not we shall be short about three million collars of income necessary to run the Territory on during the next bi-ennium.
 It is believed that the House will restore the appropriation for the Development Board deleted by the ways and means committee, but it is doubtful if it will get by the Senate. In fact the House is eX pected to restore most of the ap- propriations cut out by the ways and means committee, except some minor ones.
 All appointments to Territorial boards made by the governor were confirmed last week except two. They did not confirms successors for O. D. Cochran as a member of the board of regents, nor A. H. Ziegler as a member of the board of education. Instead they voted by a large majority to ask the gov ernor to reappoint Cochran and Ziegler.. He has not yet done so. The governor states he has twice asked Cochran if he desired reap pointment and could get no ans wer. Then after he had offered the name of a successor Cochran sent word that he had decided to re- quest re-appointment.
 Members appointed to boards from the Second Division were John Cross for a position on the board of veterans affairs, and AL berta Peterson, member of the board of eduction. All members of the Second Division delegation voted to confirm these members, though they had previously indi- cated they meant to oppose Cross.
 Only four more days left of the session. In compliance with joint rules of the House and Senate only revenue and appropriation bills can be acted upon after the fifty sixth day. The general property tax bill and a revision of the li- cense tax bill are on the Senate calendar for tomorrow. The House will start working on the general appropriation bill tomorrow.
