Littlcfield Urges a Short Session Paul Llttlqfield, general secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce in an interview t°day declared that the business interests of the state would welcome a sh6rt session of the Legislature next winter. He said: "A short session of the Legislature would appeal strongly to all citizens. The short session idea should be en- couraged by everyone. A three months' session means only about half the personal expenses by Sen ators and Representatives as are in curred by a long session. "The business interests would also appreciate a short session. Business men are practically charged at the present time with the solution of the very great and serious problems 1 accompanying the demobilization of our armies and the reconversion of our industries to a peace basis. "Under these circumstances it would be but ftair to all the many interests which are necessarily af fected by state legislation to make the session of the General Assembly cover as* short a period of time as practicable. "This is not said with the idea of conveying impression that desirable new legislation should not be con sidered but that the discussions aris ing out of new state problems should be confined to a period of three months so that the additional bur dens of uncertainty will bo over in that time. , "Other reasons will add to the popularity of the short session idea."
