Intensified sentiment against the national guard members are more than likely to cut vigorously in this direction. Last night there was another cau- cus, but what happened is a matter of specujation. The budget was the principal issue and authoritative leaks supply the information that the high- way department was given a raking over. Other slashes were made, and if reports are any criterion, the bud- get bill will be beyond recognition when the representatives have finished with the operation of wielding the leg- islative ax. But no matter the result, the de- termined house members have caused @ stir here that rivals any previous gession in the state's history. State officeholders are worried,. wondering if the legislative mill will start grinding on their departments.
