years. Especially did they have
criticism levelled at them when
final drafts of the appropriattona
bills were presented.
Some house members held Sen.
Lanning in particular disfavor, it'
developed, during the last hours
of the session when the house and
senate hearty deadlocked over the
departmental appropriation bill.
One representative > said that
Lanning was so economy-minded
he "wouldn’t pay Cordell Hull

However, in the end, the house
acceded to the senate’s terms on
the bill.

hurried committee consideration
while the house was in session,
the committee chairman would
generally ask that the committee
meet at "the feet of Jim Hogg.”
This procedure would allow the
committee to dispose of the bill,
at the same time listen to busi-
ness before the house.
Hogg is oftimes referred to as
the "fdther of the railroad com-
I mission.” It was during his ad-
| ministration the commission was
I created and he appointed the first
three commissioners. Hogg was a
strong advocate of state's rights.
During heated debate over the
ill-fated bill to allow the railroad
commission to license intrastate
airplane operation, one proponent
ot the proposal said Hogg would
have approved vesting such au-
thority in the commission. Hp,
said Hogg would have supported
the state asserting its powers to»
ward off further federal regula-
tions. '
For some time Hogg's beliefs
were paraded before the house,

tingent expenses of representa-
tives will bo about $76,000 teas
this session- than for the previous

has not been completed, but the

$650,000 for its 111-day session.

show that $1,123,709 was spent
during the 173-<lay regular session
and the 10-day called session of
the preceding legislature.
In announcing the reduction in
house contingent expenses, Daniel
said representatives were setting
an example for other branches of
the government.
Most thankleM jobs of the leg-
islature were held, by Chairman
M. A. < BiU) Bundy, Wichita Falla,
