The Jacksonville Metropolis says:
The great question confronting the
people of Florida is: Viii Governor
Napoleon B.. Broward call an extra
session of the legislature?
Men who are personally and politi-
caIly close to the governor declare
that he will put the state TO this need
less expense, regardless of the fact
that 80 per cent. of the people OF
Florida are opposed to any such &C
ton.
That Governor BTOWard has the
constitutional right to call an extra
session no one questions, but very
few can see the wisdom in such move
ment, as the regular session of the
Legislature to be elected in November
will meet next April
The Metropolis recently wrote to
the members of the senate and house
asking for expressions regarding an
extra session, and notwithstanding
the fact that many of these are the
friends of the governor, only one maA
specifies any legislation that is need
ed, while a few others are non-com-
initial The great majority, however,
see no reason Cor the calling of an
extra session, which would cost about
$4,000 Of the taxpayers money,
which is needed for other purposes.
The replies TO this inquiry made by
the Metropolis. will prove interesting,
and are as follows:
