 ment Law Invalid

TALK OF AN EXTRA . SESSION CONTINUES Many Believe Legislature Will Meet in Summer NEED MANY REFORMS O'Neal Places Himself on Record as Opposed to Extra Session-Rate
 Legislation Causes Governor
 Greatest Concern
NEED MANY REFORMS

Montgomery, April 27-tSpeciaL)-
 Talk of an extra session of the Ala bama legislature some time during the
 summer continues to be one of the leading topics in official circles. Many people in this city, both in public and private life, anticipate that the gov e-nor will issue a call for a special
 session within the near future, passing their belief on the theory that many
 reforms are needed in the laws enact ed by the last legislatures; that the conditions of the states treasury is such IS to demand immediate consid- erdtlon on the part of Alabama's law
 makers, and that the railroad rate leg isiation has assumed such proportions as to be presented to the legislative body of the state.
 Governor o'Neal has placed himself
 on record as being opposed to an extra session, having issued a statement not moie than a week ago to the effect that he would not call an extra ses- sion unless 1t should become imper-
 alive. At the same time the governor
 declared that the matter that caused him gravest concern was the situation with reference to the railroad rate leg
 islation. This matter, however, he hoped would be properly adjusted by
 the states attorneys, without the ne cesity of his intervention.
 What Others Think
 Others. many of whom are members of Il the legislature, declare that inasmuch
 as present legislative reforms are need
 ed, it would be better to have these mat trs adjusted at the earliest possible mo-
 ment, thus giving the administration the benefit of the good results to be derived
 from the revision of some of the laws. The revenue code has been pointed out as deficient, the county tax system has been declared to be bad and the treas ury is known to be in lower condi-
 ton than it has been in many years. According to those who advocate an extra session, the situation which at
 present confronts the state should be acted upon by the legislative body, and
 acted upon at the earliest possible mo-
 ment. They maintain that it Is hardly probable that an extra session will not
 be held during Governor ONeals ad- ministration. Therefore, they say call
 the legislature together this summer, work out the needed reforms, and give the state the benefit of the good to be de- rivd from any new legislation at the
 earliest possible time.
