THE SPECIAL SESSION i Fkoki the. standpoint of effqeting legislation it was called ty ,$aiiiu h special session to do, our state lawmakers, during the recent special event which closed at the state capitol Saturday night may' be said to have accomplished much and to have performed a creditable job. A veritable truckload of. small pernicious bills that nacK tne real purpose oi the meeting were linaiiy cast aside in' tlje, closing days and . the session got down to and com pleted its intended work. . i(. ,nVhether or not the measures passed will prove the: best ayvera'fqj the problems faced remains to be seen. The two,' principal, nvitters of liquor control and school aid were met the.former by the Knox plan, of complete state licensing' of wjnqs and beers and state dispensaries of the harder liquors; tKe .la'tteby,, a; privilege or' sales tax proposal to be placed , before the voters next May. . Revenues, from state operation of liquor dispensing are to go to fill badly depleted. coffers for unemployment relief and other emergency relief needs. Whether., or not the expected liquor revenue will reach proportions and profits expected. In fo.ee of the tremendous cost of the setting up of the state dispensary system, tula newspajicr doubts. However, the Knox plan It Is, and le entitled to a fair trial. ..Also It seems, doubtful that the votora of this atote will next May reverse tu A to 1 attitude expressed against a sales tax measure last July. Tho stoto legislature again hae recommended Mils manner of procuring revenue as the only possible way In its Judgment-to roplenlsh the sorry plight of our school funds. Whothor the voters of the Btato will this time accept such argument, aa final and give a majority to trial of the soles tox plan will be more definitely known alter Its presentation next spring. More rigid coU' leotlon of property taxes and a temporary Income tox, os hod been pro posed,. emea,more certain, In thevbellof of this newspaper to roach the' goal i of : school . relief : needed and desired. i . The, bus.onrt. truck law that has created such a furor since Its passage lost spring and. thereby one of the major neoossttles of tho sneclal session to straighten out, was handled wol principles oi me law were removed but to farmers and small truckers. In addition to these answers to emergency legislation for which the ses-! aioq was caiieq, nmo wos louno to care lor several minor pieces of action and the 10-Juror proposal was OK'd to ploce beforo public vote next Moy. All In oil, though there will be differences of opinion as to the merits of some of the legislation enacted, the foot remains that tho special session did complete Its Job. And completed It In a crecjtnblo conduct of good sobriety and purpose. This In the face of on expected and attempted selge of lobbylsm that waa very ably and decisively sot aside.
