an extra session Of the Legislature. Some

The clamor being raised in some por-
tons Of the state for an extra session of
the legislature 10 pass = law for the stay
OF executions. is founded on ignorance of
the law. We already have . sufficient
stay law When a creditor
sues and obtains Judgment, and on that
judgment seeks 70 recover by levying an
execution. he IS entitled to the benefit of
the iag IN force at the time he invokes its
aid. In other words, If creditors in con-
temptation OF the passage OF law 20 stay
executions, should deem that the contem-
plated law would be prejudicial to their
interests and should Immediately reduce
their claims to judgments and at once
issue executions. they would be entitled TO
the benefit OF the execution Law IN force
when the execution was issued. Ii may
therefore be readily seen that all creditors
will sue at once If they fear the legislature
will be called 10 pass such Law, and be-
To- A&.af a -
tons could be issued under the present
law, leaving nothing for the new Law to
operate on or benefit. An extra session
under such conditions, would defeat the
very OBJECT for which il was called
