(By the Associated Press)
ATLANTA ' •— Governor Cliford
Winker Is "heartily In accord” with
the movement to ecJcuro the pasuge
of a bill providing for biennial ses
sion* of the Georgia' general attpein-
bly, he told the Associated Press to
day .
In hla first tnesage to the 1923 leg-
(stature, tho chief executive urged
this step in the interest of ecouumy
and better legislation. Hie predecct-
• eor, Governor Thomas W. Hardwick
took the same position. Now that the
recent session of ths assembly Is a
matter of history, Governor Walker
said he was mode strongly convinced
than ever that the regular Icglitla-
ture should meet only once every two
years.
•If the biennial session law had la
ready boon on tho statute books of
the state when I came Into office" hi
remarked, “ f could have called ai
extroardfnary session for tho consld.
cratlou of tax reform measures only
—and we would hare had tax reform
measures enacted.
“The sessions of the assembly are
expensive to hte state and while leg
islation Is being considered It has a
distinct efect on^the business life.
The uncertainty of the sltuati.
slackens and holds business In su
pen*?
“Bennlal sessions also would t**>

islation.* 1
