That is the final word issued to
the Senate in a special message by
Governor James V. Allred when
he declared that unless the body
did something about the matter
he would not let them leave for

ent session, but would call an-
other session immediately.
He further put the monkey on
tho backs of the Senators by tell-
ing them that the house had many
weeks ago taken such action, and
if the extra session, with its con-
eommitant costs of around $200,-

of course, they would have to

they come back home.
