bars such aid.
But Cooper-Church back-

The Senate then headed

An amendment by Sen.
Robert P. Griffin of Michi-

What a Perfect
Week to Meet!
Smith himself is not up for re-election.
The executive committee met last on
May 15.
Legislators are restricted to payment
for a maximum of 20 meetings during
the interim.
It has long been the practice of the leg-
islature to schedule a number of commit-
tee meetings on Friday prior to Universi-

lators.
Some lawmakers are members of both
committees. ' *
Under legislative council law, members
are paid 10 cents a mile roundtrip for
capitol meetings plus $25 per day expen-
ses. A member can claim as high as $35
per day expenses if he itemizes his claim.
All members of the house must face
re-election this year along with half the
members of the state senate. The coun-

. Some legislators, many of them the key
. leaders, will take an expense-paid trip to
. the state capitol next week to file for re-
election.
More than 60 lawmakers will come to
the capitol during the first part of the
week for legislative council committee
meetings that just happen to coincide
with the state’s three-day election filing
period.
j Latest meeting call came today when
State Sen. Finis Smith, president pro-
tempore and chairman of the council,
called a meeting of the executive com-
mittee for 10 a.m. Wednesday. This is the
last day of the filing period.
The 27-member council public affairs
committee has already scheduled a 1
p.m. meeting for Monday and the special
committee on rapid transit study, with
six members, meets at 1 p.m. Wednes-
day.
Smith when contacted said, "We have
to have one in July anyhow.” He saifl he
found no significance in the fact that the
meeting happened to fall on the final day
of filing.
"They’re going to work,” he said, "it’s
a work session.”
