LEGISLATURE STILL IN SESSION

Problematical When Second Special Session Will Adjourn., While there has been some talk that Gov. Goodrich’s second special session of the legislature within a very few months may finish up tomorrow and adjourn, it is not probable that this can be done. Many of the Republican members feel that the governor and his crowd of politicians have got their party into the hole it now is, through their efforts to make campaign thunder out of a low tax levy while at the same time boosting the valuations until everybody paid more taxes than ever before, and they do not propose to let him force through his “legalizing” measure —simply in an attempt to create a bridge to carry the party into office again—without considering the permanence of the “relief” sought. They do not favor this make-shift legislation recommended by Goodrich, McCray and Watson, which they realize Is for campaign purposes only.
