Montgomery, August 26.- Especial. The Alabama leg islature will meet in extraordi- nary session September IA, for the passage of laws which will provide for the registration of women and the protection of the ballot box and for the con- sideration of measures, which Governor kilby believes, de- mand attention before the next regular session.
 Governor kilby In an official state ment Thursday fighV announced that he tad found an extra session of the law makers could not be avoided as result of the ratification of the woman suffrage amendment, that he would issue his proclamation as soon as it could be pre- pared, and that no legislation would bs incluued in the call except those mat- ters which demand consideration at this time.
 ~f'or several days [ have had before me the subject uf an extra session of the legislathre said Governor kilby. 'Likewise has consideration been given 10 it by legal advisers as well as others who have an interest m the state The consensus of opinion Is that the state cannot shirk this responsibility nor att tempt to avoid the burden which ses- sion of the legislature naturally must bring.
 WANTS BRIEF SESSION
 It Is regrettable that the state must have session, and ig Is nay earnest hope and desireTthat the legsiatGre may come here and remaln only so long as IS absolutely necessarg for the disposition Of the lirsent matters which will come before it. No person desires a long ses- sion of the lawmakers. IL is natural thai business cannot be carred on in the usual way as long as laws are In tiis making All minds are turned toward Montgomery when the lawmakers are here. It is not my desire 10 cause busi- ness to suffer in this way and 1 am sure I will receive the cooperation of all classes when 1 urge that no effort be made to bring forward Legislation which can be carried over to the next regular session.
 Il shall inclde in my call oniy such matters as l think demand considera- ton at this time. First and foremost will be measures providing for the reg istration of women and for the protec- ton of the ballot box Ii is my inten- tion also to suggest the passage of 9 few bills which have been rendered invalid because of errors In this list may be found the bill providing for the feeding of prisoners. the bill giv- ing counties the right to issue interest," bearing warrants in payment for road work and tick eradication, the bill re- quiring all state officials to live in or in close proximity to Montgomery and, a bill providing for emergency repairs on public buildings.
 Since it has been reported that an a l.A lad have received scores of requests for the inclusion of measures in my call Many of them have merit. but it would be unfair to include some and not all. Believing the best interests of the state will be subserved by as early an ads iournment of-the legislature as possi- bie, have been forced to the conclu- sion that only urgent measures should be placed in the call
 GASOLINE INSPECTION
 Reports have reached this office in recent months thahlow grade gasoline, which has been refused entry in states having adequate inspection laws. is be- ing forced the market in Alabama, I shall include ia my call a bill pro- vidinR for the inspection of all gaso- line in order that users of this com- modity may not be forced to take that which is unacceptable to other states
  uses for which 1t Is sold. It will be recalled that an inspection bill was passed last year, but was invalidated because 1t carried q provision for rev. enue and originated in the senate when the constitution requires that all rev. enue measures shall originate in the house. and also was passed during tho last five days of the session, when the constitution says revenue measures Sh a ha ans e1 dn Ia five days.
 '1 am sure a great majority of the clt. fizens of Alabama will agree that the measures I shall place in the call are f1s tho best interest of the state. The bit relating Ap the feeding of prisoners is for the protection Of those who cannot protect themselves. 1t was passed reg ularly last year but oy an oversight the euacting clause was left off. The Dill giving the counties the right 70 issue n terest-Dearing warrants likew.se was made imperative because the enactins need this. Only this week newspape. dispatches said tick eradication work in one county would be aoandoned and ths county placed under quarantine again be- CT use 1t could not longer issue interest bearing warrants.
 PEOPLE DEMAND SERVICE
 The measure requiring state officials to live in or in close proximity to Mont gomery cant be opposed by any person who believes the state government should function as any other business. No busi- ress would permit it's employees to reside SO far from it's place of business as would prevent their being at their desks each day. Alabamas government Is large businesss and it's stockholders. ths people of Alabama, demand that their en- ployes shall give that same service as Is required BY private business.
 ..k 1~A f<r sency repairs on the capitol and other public buildings. and l shall suggest ies- islation which will be sufficient to pro vide for them
