matters under executive order.
During his campaign Rivers
attacked the governor on numers
ous occasions for his action, and
several conrt suits were institux
ed in an effort to kecp him from
spending certain state monies,
nene of the suits was successful,
Under existing law only the
governor can call the assembly
into special session. Talmadge
received numerous requests to
take this action, but decided
against it,
While the other amendment—
that for annual sessions—is the
suggestion of some for overcoming
situations like that of last yedr,
it represents also a movement
which comes periodically in state
affairs. The legislature now meets
only once in each two years with
its sessions limited to a 10-day
organization pericd and a 60-day
term for passage of laws. Sup
porters contend the time is too
short for the assembly properly
to attend to all problems for a
two-year period.

amendments declared it was
