SOLONS FROWN
UPONSESSION
May Kick Over Trace* If
Special Meeting Called
At Term’s End
By RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, Feb. 27 —Rumblings .
that the legislature may kick over
the traces If called back into spe
cial session Immediately after the
60-day regular session grind have
been heard in the house.
The questions of date of adjourn
ment and whether the new session
will be ordered by the governor
withput 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 go home, if called back
at once.
Indications are that the solons
will be set down to the special ses
sion work within 24 hours after ad
journment of the regular term.
The 60-day period for which the
members are paid $5 per day will
end March 8. After that, members
would get but $2 for regular ses
sion work. Special session pay is
|5 per day.
If the call brings the legislators
back within 24 hours after ad
journment of the present session,
the state will save about $5,000 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, if
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 necessitate another session
called by Gov. Pat M. Neff.
Spend the 30 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 aopropriations. state
civil service, public utilities regula
tion and probably prison relocation
are listed at the top of the special
session roster.
Some sessions develop a definite
oreference to stay on the job and
finish up all the legislative work in
prospect for two years in a con
tinuous stretch. In others, mem
bers decide they want to go home
and look after personal affairs for
a few weeks. Th»re seems to be a
divided sentiment in the present
session.
