Extra Session Probably
Will Be Called During
Early Part January
ATLANTA, Ga.—An extra session
of the Georgia legislature, practically
assured by Gov. Clifford Walker for
early in January, will be the second
called to the capitol during the gov¬
ernor’s administration.
The last extraordinary session met
here Nov. 7, 1923 and continued until
December 14. Political observers are
of the opinion that no estimate can
be made regarding the length of the
session but there are certain rules
which the session must observe that
may tend to approximate an answer.
The two houses can consider only
those subjects dealt with by the gov¬
ernor in his call. In 1923 Governor
Walker called the lawmakers to con¬
sider a general tax program, advo¬
cating particularly an income tax and
classification tax, and a state text
book commission.
Governor Walker has indicated pos¬
itively that the assembly will be re¬

C. L. Taylor, Manager Camilla, Ga.
quested, in the event of the extra
session, first to consider the confed¬
erate pension scrip. Included in his
call will be advocacy tax of a broader
educational program and a program
for highway construction.
The length of time the assembly
shall be in session is entirely in the
hands of the house and senate. Only
in the event the two houses disagree
on setting a date for adjournment
may the governor exercise an author¬
ity. In that contingency he would
be called upon to order a joint meet¬
ing of the two houses and adjourn
the body sine die.
While the length of the extra term
is a matter for speculation it is be¬
lieved that the governor will encoun¬
ter opposition in his effort to direct
the legislature's attention to any mat¬
ter but the-confederate scrip.
In circles opposed to the session,
it is confidently expected that the
house will be asked the first day of
meeting to adopt resolutions which
would limit its consideration to the
scrip question alone.
Should such a motion be defeated,
and the house proceed to considera¬
tion of bond issuance for highway
construction it is agreed in all cir¬
cles that length of the session would
be indeterminate. The extra session
in 1923 met for 30 days, and failed
to accomplish the two major matters
for which the call was issued.
That legislature created a text book
commission, and an auditing depart¬
ment and a revenue department, but
failed to pass an income tax or a
classification law. It did, however,
amend the cigar and cigarette tax
law.
Governor Walker is of the opinion
that an extra session would accom¬
plish the aims of the administration
in all the details of the call. Senti¬
ment throughout the state is broad¬
ening and increasing, he believes, in
favor of state highway construction
and educational progress. The con¬
federate pension matter he considers
a matter of honor, that his adminis¬
tration provide for the pensioners and
their widows insofar as possible.
