“The special session should have
little difficulty in disposing of rev-
enue measures before it in view of
the fact that considerable consider-
ation was given to such measures dur-
ing the regular session. With the
tax measures will advanced in the
regular eesslon, these measures should
be taken up and disposed of in a short
time.”
