Several representatives have asked that the absentee be abolished for their respective counties In measures pre sented. and while It Is hardly expected that the law will be repealed, observers are certain that It will be vitally chang ed, and features Inserted to prohibit any semblance of theft. Other bills that are probable to pass through the mill within the next few weeks In some form, are: Remove the mandatory death sentence In capital convictions; provide an antl-lynch law; provide funds for modernization of pri mary highways; set up a department of justice; some revision of the sales tax law: and the long looked for scrap about liquor stores and shipment of whiskey from "wet” counties In to “dry” territory. Matter of getting all the appropria tions that the numerous state Institu tions and agencies are asking for. to coincide with the amount of available taxes which the finance body thinks It will be able to secure, Is causing many headaches, and round after round of committee meetings and hearings. The requirements, and the available funds are several millions of dollars apart, and there will have to be an addition to the tax load, or a drastic shave on appropriations. M1CK1E SAYS— fsUR.
