ONE CLAUSE FORCES. EXTRA SESSION FOR
 E NF R ADVERTISEMENT
Sixty-Day Registration Is Regarded as Only Feature Which Cannot Be
 Handled
By FRED H. GoRMLEY

Montgomery. August -(Special.)- If the legislature had not let one short clause creep into the amendment to the general registration law during it's ses- sion of 1919 an extra session now rem dered imperative by the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment could have been avoided, according to high legal authorities consulted by the Mont gomery bureau of The Birmingham e-Herald.
 General amendments were prepared In order that further restrictions might be placed on Illegal voting. One sec ] ton gives the county boards of reve- ] nue the right to order the registrars to open their books for the registration i of qualified voters after giving short notice, but immediately after this pro- vision appears the following clause: Except within the sixty days imme- diately preceding any primary or gen eral election" This will force the spe- cial session. Of course, it is under stood that the purpose of the provision was to prevent illegal voters from rushing to the registrars during the few days preceding an election. If this section were not in the law, however, an extra session would not now be necessary, according to various legal authorities.
 The opinion generally accepted is that the federal amendment merely erases the word male from the sui frage sections of the state constitu7 tions, giving the vote 70 all inhabi- tants, males and females. who can meet the educational and property qualified tions and who are not barred because a foreigner felon or an insane person. But the federal amendment could not change the registration law and the states have always been permitted to say how a person shall become quail fled as a voter provided the federal constitution was not violated
 After the woman suffrage amendment was rejected by the Alabama legisla- ture in 1919 an effort was made to have it enact laws which would provide ma chinery in Alabama for use in the event of ratification. One bill required wom-

 en voters to pay poll taxes. The ac- cepted view now is that women may vote in November without the payment of poll taxes, taking the status of man who has become twenty one dur ing the year and who is permitted to participate in any elections during the year without the payment of poll taxes.
 Another bill provided for the regis traitor of women voters. Members who were opposed to suffrage declined to permit the passage of any of the hills, saying that they did not desire to give aid and comfort to suffra gists and insisting that the passage of the bills would make it appear that the majority believed that the amendment would be ratified without action on the part of Alabama.
 In order that a long session of the legislature may be avoided, an effort is being made by several persons to have members of the legislature agree that they will decline to consider any measures not included in the gover- nor's call and that an adjournment will be had when the necessary work has been done.
 One report current in the state dur ing the weekend was that Governor Kilby would ask that another income tax law be enacted, but close friends of the governor expressed the opinion that the governor would have no such thing in mind. Governor Kilby has often told newspaper representatives that if an extra session was necessary he hoped the propositions which forced it would be disposed of in a short time and that no other matters would be taken up. It is doubtful that the gov ernor will consider any further finan- cial legislation necessary during his term.
 No class is nsistent on a long ses- sion In fact, all persons consulted when the extra session seemed inexita- ble expressed the opinion that the law makers should provide for the opera ton of the federal amendm ent in Ala bama and then adjourn. Various per- sons have suggested that members of the leg stature agree among themselves that they will decline to take up any measures which are not absolutely nec- essary and that there be effort to Stay in session longer than Is neces- sary. even though the lawmakers are the sole judges of the time they shah remain when called into special session. provided they do not exceed the thirty days permitted by the constitution.
