VOL. XXII NO. 8.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE
WILL MEET ON JUNE 23.
Effort Will Be Made to Change
to Biennial Sessions
Atlanta, Ga—The Georgia leg
islature will convene on the
fourth Wednesday in June, which
is the 23. At this session Gov.
Brown will be inaugurated and
will take over the executive reins
cf the state government. It is
.»< said the ceremonies will be very
’*■* simple and no attempt at display
will be made.
It is not altogether improba
ble that this will be the last one
of the summer session of the Geor
gia legislature. A strong move
ment -s afoot to again change
that already much emasculated
document known as the constitu
tion of Georgia, so as to provide
bi ennial sessions to be held in
_.the late fall or early winter. Sen
timent in favor of Jo-ennial ses
sions is very str?#t; but no
change can be made until next
year.
Many important matters are
scheduled to come up this sum
mer, but the most important of
all will be the question of revenue
To provide, the means for meet
ing the state’s obligations,
will be the foremost work of the
session.
No doubt efforts will be made
to both weaken and strengthen
the prohibition law, but unless
one side can muster a two-thirds
vote such work will count for
naught.
Governor-elect Brown is under
a pledge to veto any change pro
vided for the law and has an
nounced that he intends to keep
that pledge.
Another matter that will pro
voke a lively fight is a proposed
re-organization of the railroad
commission. The controlling fac
tion of the incoming administra
tion is under pledge to reduce
the commission to three members,
and to repeal or change some of
the other features of the Candler
bill.
At all events the session will be
a lively one, and may exceed its
two immediate predecessors in
history making.

Nashville, April 27.—Judge W.
M. Hart today overruled the mo
