Recently the conservation reserve

SLANTS FROM
THE SESSION
By Mrs. C. A. Tom
The session is now thirty-three
days old. The main question
now to be put is how many days
lie ahead? Farmers in the legis
lature traditionally joke about
being afraid they won't get home
in time to harvest, but this time
some of us are becoming a little
nervous.
A number of secretaries, in
cluding mvself, have noticed
something out of the ordinary.
By this time in previous sessions
we would have quite a tidy stack
of bills to amend each morning.
It is a tedious job, but it does
give one a feeling that progress
is being made.
What are we to gather from
the tiny trickle of amendments
coming out of the committees so

NO MORE SENATE TIEUPS
The 30 senators who were
evenly paired for election of a
senate president for the first two
weeks of the current session
have not forgotten the strain of
those long days and nights of
intrigue and plenary fixes. They
don't want it to happen again
and are going to do something
about it.

load of work with a "C" or 2.00
average. If a high school gradu
ate fails to obtain more than 60
per cent in the aptitude test, he
may be allowed to take it again
the next year.
Admission restrictions on out
of-state applicants have been in
use since 1955.
Expectation of double enroll
ment within the next ten years
and the resentment of the public
to higher educational costs are
reasons which have forced the
selective admission policies.

Legislators are getting letters

Governor Holmes' remark of two

or three weeks yet before he
would be ready to make any
statement concerning his budget.
We hate to rush our chief exe
cutive but November 6 was three
months ago.
Wednesday saw most of the
action in the House for the week.
House Bill 123, relating to labor
conciliation boards, passed with
only two dissenting votes.
House Bill 124 repeals what is
called by some the "right to
work" law and by others the
"anti-picketing" law. Although
the strongest teeth had some
time back been pulled from this
law by a Supreme Court ruling
It still proved a topic for debate.
The final vote was forty-five in
favor of the repeal,- twelve
against.
The hottest issue of the week
proved to be HB 193 which would
have required any state official
authorized to pay salaries to
state employes to withhold union
dues from the salary upon writ-
ten request of the employe.
I nis measure generated a great
deal of emotion and consequent
oratory. The bill failed by a
vote of 18 to 39 with no evidence
of party-line division.
Of interest to farmers will be
HB 136, passed by the House on
Wednesday. This one allows
farmers to deduct expenses in
curred in soil or water conserva
tion operations, or those of ero
sion control. Under existing law
such expenses are considered ad
ditions to capital structure.
