SPLIT SESSION NOW
 VERY DOUBTFUL
Legislative Complications Arising Over Revenue Bill Fight Held
 Responsible

Montgomery, August 1S.-(Special) )-Re- gardless of the wishes of certain mem bers of the legislature regarding splii session it is exceedingly doubtful if the state lawmakers will adjourn for period of more than three or four days before the ilftieth legislative day has been con- sumed.
 This is the opinion of wel-known lead CTS of the two houses who have hereto fore advocated another split session. Leg lslatlve complications arising over the passage of the revenue bill are believed to be largely responsible for the change of sentiment regarding another divided St sson.
 Speaker Carmichael is one of the leeis- lators who does not believe another split session advisable, although, under cer- tain circumstances, he would have in- dorsed the plan. He believes the legisla- ture, in view of the long delay in the passage of important bills. should now remain in session until it has completed it's work
 While l have always favored an- ther splIr session., said the speaker Of the house today, "I do not now think the plan expedient The senate may be several days in passing the reve- nue bill. and that measure may then te returned to the house with so many amendments IS to require several days consideration on the part of that body. Altogether it may take at least four or five days4 for the two houses 10 prepare that important measure for presentation to the governor.
 The legislature will then have nu . merous other important duties to per form, and I do not think these various tasks win be completed in time to war rant another split session"
 As far as can be ascertained. the legislature will finally adjourn about the middle of September After this N eek. it is planned to hold sessions Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday every week until the end of the session.
