1943 legislature will be called up for consideration during the 1945 session in April Top-ranking among the vetoed measures is the hill to increase the annual state appropriation to schools from to per teacher unit The former gover-nor's grounds for veto he said were that the bill would place an additional burden of $2280-000 yearly on thegeneral revenue fund without providing for allocation Possibility arose that the 1945 legislature will sustain veto and draw up a new bill providing for an increase in the bill from the present to $1000 per unit and appropriate an extra for a foundation fund to be distributed among schools in more needy counties OTHER RILLS Othd'r bills which stand vetoed and must go to house and senate committees on executive communications before returning to the

adopt the streamlined federal rules of civil procedure for use in state courts but submitted for consideration of the bar a draft of suggested modernization revisions by Justice Glenn Terrell The

system that Is materially different from our state system" the court said in Justice opinion we should adopt the federal rules of civil procedure many of them would have no application to our state practice at the same time there are many proceedings we would be without rules to govern The federal rules of civil procedure are still in the experimental stage and must be amended and adjusted to a system materially different from our state system where nine-tenths of the practice must be UrilOLD 1943 ACT The court upheld a 1943 lcgis-lative act authorizing It to make the rules changes declaring have the facilities the technical knowledge and experience which much better equip them for this duty than the The legislature turned the rule revision task over to the courts after attempts to pass civil procedure codes through the house and senate had failed Justice suggested rule changes which were added to the court's opinion but were not made a part of it include: Providing two instead of just one rule day in each month Permitting pre-trial conferences between judges and opposing attorneys to simplify the issues and limit the number of witnesses in a suit Extension of the rules for taking depositions from absent witnesses and admitting them as evidence in court Repealing all common law tech- nical picas and substituting a method of procedure to settle the issues in common law
