Special Session Of Kentucky Legisla-

ton BY Congress In December

Washington, Nov. 20. - An extra
session of the Kentucky Legislature
this winter is forecast here. Governor
Morrow is expected to issue the cal
for the extraordinary session as soon
as Congress passes the bill establish.
ing the unit of apportionment under
the census of 1920. This legislation Is
to- be rushed through Congress as
soon as possible during the coming
short session.
Upon the size Of the unit estab-
lished will depend the number of Rep
resentatives N Congress which the
State Of Kentucky will have during
the next decennial period, or until an
other census is taken. There Is every
indication now that the number OF
Kentucky Representatives in Congress
will remain the same as at present
but this will not prevent new appar-
tionment of the state for Congression-
al purposes.
The purpose of the extra session
which Governor Morrow has decided
to call will be to reapportion the state
of Kentucky into Congressional dis
tricts.
