Hamiter issued a call for a special session in Little Rock on May 18 1908 to complete the new state capitol, arrange monthly tax transfers to the general revenue fund and prevent deficits, while naming three new General Assembly members to replace resignations and a death. He defended authority, outlined reasons including health concerns of the current state house, and issued a formal proclamation detailing purposes and funding, with officers Ludwig and Hendricks confirming seal and signature.
