Extra Session Possible If Convict Investigation Falls Short
Governor Smith warned that if the legislative committee probing the convict system cannot finish a thorough report by adjournment on August 12, an extra session will be convened to handle the matter. Witnesses remain to be heard, and the completion date is uncertain as the two houses clash over future actions. The current lease system expires April 1, 1909, and a decisive report could avert or force extra session.
