LEAVES FOR
CALL SESSION
Rep. Hardy Gives Views
On State Subjects
nalley W H.itdy State Legisla-
tlvo Repiesentntlve fiom the lOSth
district left today foi Austin to
paitlcipate in the fouith special
Legislative session called by Gov
Dan Moody Mi Haidy was ai
companied as fa- as Foil Woith
by Mis Hardy
Hefote leaving Repusentative
Haidy said that the Legislators
would consider mainly dining this
called session the piobloins of re-
locating the State penitentiary
system salaries of state and coun-
ty officials some school matters
and probably some emergency aj-
ptoprlatlons. Mr Haidy will oppose iclocat-
Ing tho penitential y on a new
site near Austin as has been pro-
posed by a majoiity of those com-
posing the commltteo appointed to
Investigate this mattor Howovor
he does believe many changes
should bo made In tho piosont pen
system He would favor relocat-
ing tho penitentiary on some site
already owned by tho State In-
dustrializing tho system would be
tho greatest improvement taken
Mr. Hardy believes
Prisonuis should be nindo to
work while in the penitentiary
probably completely furnishing
clothing produce and similar nrtl-
clos for other state Institutions as
well as building atc highway
machinery manufnciuring auto li-
censes etc.
Considering the question of fix-
ing salaries of state nnd county
officials Mr Ilaidv Is in favor of
limiting their snlaiies and placini;
a definite maximum to this limit
which would not ho so sninll Uint
theso officials could not oarn a to-
spoctablo living he added
Mr Hardy expects the .special
sesflon to last from throe to four
vv colts.
