Swing says it was "incidental" to his job that he went hunting dur ing visits to Mexico and Canada in government planes, jeeps and air-conditioned trailers.

Another would re peal an outdated provision of the Constitution which fixed the gov ernor's salary at $1500 a year, that of secretary of state at $1500, state treasurer $800 and supreme court justices at $2000.
