Gov. COrnwell May
Call Extra Session

Governor Cornwell gave warning of
the possibility of an extra session of
the Legislature early this spring or
summer to raise revenues in the event
that the state oil and gas tax measure
should be declared invalid by the
Courts, where 1t is being tested now.
The Governor did not say so, but it
is generally believed that If he should
assemble the Legislature for the pur-
pose of revenue legislation, he would
include the question of ratification of
the Federal equal suffrage amendment
among those to be considered.
The oil and gas tax law, If valid,
provides for revenues amounting to at
least s1,25OOO0 annually.
The state is making a hard fight in
the Courts to prove the validity of the
law, but lawyers outside of those rep
resenting the commonwealth greatly
doubt the chances of the law being up
held. There is a feeling, therefore.
that the extra session of the Legisla-
ture is more than probable.
