This Constitutional Amendment was
proposed and adopted through the ac-
ton OF the Legislature in adoption of
the House Joint Resolution No. 8, au.
thorizing the submission of the Ques-
ton to the voters Of the state. 1t
amended Section Twenty>One of Arti.
Gle Five of the Constitution so as to
provide that the time limit for the
Session of the Legislature shall be ex-
tnded to ninety actual working days,
but that no bills shall be introduced in
either House after the sixty days OF
the session, except upon recommends
tion of the Governor.
This amendment should be adopted
for the following reasons:
The varied interests of the State OF
Oklahoma have grown to such an ex.
tent that a Session of the Legislature
of sixty days duration, as now pro.
yided by law, is too limited time to
properly consider the subjects de.
mandlng attention and the practice Of
Introducing legislation until the last
days Of the session, thus crowding the
calendar full of undigested measures,
is bad one. Under this amendment
# would allow thirty days to give due
and deliberate consideration to such
measures as had been introduced in
the previous sixty days.
This is an important amendment to
our Constitution as our Legislature
only meets every two years, and nine
ty days at the best is short enough
time to consider the subjects for legis.
lation This amendment will give
time for due consideration of worthy
subjects that may be passed, and will
prevent the hasty consideration and
adoption Of unworthy bills OF any char
acter
