AN APPEAL To LAW
MAY SETTLE CoNsTITUTIONALIT
OF SUMMER SESSIONS BILL.
THE QUESTION IS RAISED
AS TO LEGALITY OF LEGISLATION
OF NEXT SESSION.

Governor Vetoed the Measure
Passed By the General Assembly,
and There are Lawyers who Be-
neve That That Body Could Not
COnstitutiona1Iy Pass IA Law Pro-
longing officials Terms and Civ
ing Itself Longer Tenure-state
Printer May BE Enjoined From
Publishing the Act.
Atlanta, Dec. 23.-The question has
been raised by a number of prominent
lawyers as to the constitutionality of
the bill passed at the last session of
the Legislature over Gov. Terrell's
veto, providing for summer sessions of
the General Assembly.
The point is made because of the
fact that the act extends the terms
of the Governor and State House Of
ficers for q period of eight months and
necessitates three sessions of the pres
ent General, Assembly. 1t is claimed
that the effect of the bill is thus I'M
constitutional. 80
In view of the fact that this condi-
ton of affairs would cast such Sc
rious doubt on all the legislation of
the summer session, the matter of hav-
ing the question tested in the courts
before the Legislature meets is already
under consideration. Getting the
question before the courts is difficult,
but it is thought it can possibly be
done by bringing an injunction against
the public printer to prevent the pub
lication of the act.
1t is quite probable that some such
step as this will be taken in order
to get a decision on the subject from
the Suprene Court
