MOVE To CHANGE
INAUGURAL DATE
Bill Before Legislature Provides
for Seating Governor in jan
uary Instead of June.

If a bill now pending before the
Georgia legislature providing for a ten
day January session of each new legis-
lature, Immediately following its cleo
ton, passes at the forthcoming summer
session, either Governor John M. Sla-
ton or Governor Joe Hill Hall, as the
case may be, will be inaugurated gov
ernor next January instead of next
June.
The proposed new law seeks to rene
dy a situation generally agreed to be
wrong as it stands and 1t is the opinion
of the well informed politically that the
bill will pass.
Under the present law, the governor
is elected in October. but can not be
inaugurated until the first meeting of
the legislature elected with him, which
throws his inauguration nine months
after his election
The proposed new law seeks to pro-
vide for a ten day session of the legis-
lature in January every other year, for
the purpose of organization and in
auguration of the governor After this
ten-day session, the legislature would
adjourn until June, and then hold a 40
day session. The succeeding summer
session would be full so days-the con-
stitutiona imit-there having been no
January session that year.
An interesting circumstances CON

law is that it would. if enacted. cut off
