SPECIAL SESSION Of LEGISLATURE

Official announcement has been
made by Governor Lee Cruce that no
special session of the oklahoma legis-
lature will be held this year The
following signed statement was is
sued by the governor this morning:
II occurs to me that the time has
come for me to speak definitely upon
the subject of special session of the
legislature. The uncertainty that eX-
lists at this time is disquieting to the
public mind and hurtful to the best
interests of the state and its citizens.
Hardly had the regular session Of
the Legislature ended its labors and
its members gone TO their homes he
fore a we'll defined movement was set
session. In fact, ! was informed while
the Legislature was still in regular
session that special session would
be unavoidable. After congress had
tardily acted upon and passed the
reapportionment bill the demands
made upon me for special session
became insistent, persistent and nun
erous To all of these appeals ! made
the one answer-that to my iudg.
ment nothing had transpired that
made "a special session either neces.
sary or desirable. | was then met
with the argument that the people
OF the state wanted it, and that /
should bow to their will 70 this
replied that while l. was unalterably
opposed to special session. yet if /
was convinced that the Taxpayers OF
he state, who would have to bear the
added burden, desired it, / would not
stubbornly stand in the way. There

with the real situation in this regard.
First. addressed a letter to each
member of the present Legislature,
asking mis- opinion upon the question;
second, ] addressed a letter to each
newspaper OF the state, asking in
formation as to the desires OF the
taxpayers in the state upon the mat
ter with the following result: OF
the members of the lower branch of
tare Legislature. who answered my re-
quest, tw'enty-nine per cent opposed
the call; of the senators, forty-one
per cent opposed it; of the editors
who wrote me, seventy-seven per cent
were in opposition, while Of the let

taxpayers seventy-seven per cent
pleaded with me to refuse the call

The neighbors soon joined in the
