CALL GOMES AFTER TRIP
OF INQUIRY
Gov. Goodrich Goes to Jeffersonsville to Ascertain As to Housing of Inmates, May Be Able to "Get By" Without Special Session. Times Bureau. At Stattb Capital. INDIANAPOLIS. April 15. When Governor Goodrich gets back from Jeffersonvine. where ha went today to investigate the situation at the state reformatory, lie will mafcs known whether lie 'WiU call a special session of the 1-glslature. He went to Jeffersonville o ascertain Just how the inmates of the reformatory could be housed until 'he next regular session of the liglsla.ire, or whether it would be possible to house them that long under present conditions. Since flrs destroyed a number if the important buildings at the reformatory several months ago the Chousing problem has been a serious one. snd it affords perhaps the main reason dr a special session, if one is held. There is every indication that the governor will call the special session. Kiit it need causa no surprise if he does not. It is known that very heavy pressure is being: brought to bear on him to avoid a srecial session at this time, and there is a bare possibility that :r may be made strong enough to shake i s notion that the session must be held. Soi.se persons say that It should be fin easy matter for the governor to borj ow enough money from banks to tide the state ever until the next regu'.ar session, thus making it unnecessary to . ali tha legislators to this city. It has fven been suggested that the banks r robably would step forward and of-f-r to lend money to the governor for that purpose, but the fact remains that i. one of the banks have so stepped and Cere is nothing in sight to lead to the belief that they will do so. The goverr or is aware that there is a possi- ,,;. that he might be able to "get by" without a special session, but he does r.o: know whether he could or not. And a if he should g to the banks and borrow money to meet the pressing r.eeds of the state, relying on the lejrirlature to legalize his action at the next tegular session and appropriate money to pay 1". all back, who know3 what kind of '.'stink" the opposition might stir up in the next session over the question of hts right to bind the state's credit In that mnr.ner. Some people are trytng to create the impression that Governor GooJrich is Fimpiy crazy for a r" T , session. But those who know him best say that this Is not true. He is not more anxious for e special session than anyone else, but l" will call it if he finds he can't get iCong without it. So one realizes bettor than the govf !'!!i.t the dangers and complications tlat are wrapped tip in a special session a this time. None of them can .. e him any pointers along that lino. Bui he is willing- to face ail of these DOCTOR COULD NOT HELP HER But Lydia E.Pinkhams Vegetable Compound Saved Her from a Serious Operation.

complications if necessary. One of the bugaboos that is beins raised by some of those opposed to the special sesslopr is the cry that the governor will dump into the hopper of the session his celebrated excise tax bill, which raised so much trouble at the 3917 session and was fought with such bitterness that it failed to get by. Some are sayir.gr that he is sure to trot it out again. L'ut the governor has stated def.nitely that nothing of the kind will happen. He has said that the excise tax proposition will not bs brought up at tho special sesion, Lut even this statement has not stopped some of the objectors from continuing to use it as an argument against the issuance of a call. It Is r.ot the intention of the governor to present any measures to the legislature that will cleg up the works, lie has outlined his program and he insists that he will stick to it and that he wants the legislature also to stick to 't. There is no certainty, of course, that the members will cor.f.na thentBeles to the governor's program, however. There is danger that some of the statesmen will come to the city with a aiis full of pet bills which they will throw in in the hope that '.hey can slop something through when the fight is the hottest. Leaders of both parties, however are sayirr that thts should not be done. A special session, they say. is not the proper time for a general run of legislation, but it should be confined to those subjects on which legislation is needed to meet emergencies. If a special cession is called the member who comes here prepared to dump in a lot of unnecessary bills will 'immediately become the unpopular member of the leg
islature, and it will be no surprise if the bipr majority jump on his measures and beat them to death. Kverybodv will be anxious to get through and return hmo as quickly as possible. ,ut
