WILL NOT CALL SPECIAL SESSION OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
NOVEMBER 17, 1930
I have given full and deliberate consideration to the
arguments in the petition of the committee of repre-sentatives
of the North Carolina Tax Relief Association
asking that the governor call the General Assembly into
special session in December. I am impressed by the
facts presented in the petition, and am conscious of
the conditions described and the relief sought by the
committee. At the same time, I also clearly realize
that in a twenty-day session the Legislature would not
be able to organize and handle the questions which
would be presented to it, and that a special session in
December would so interrupt and interfere with the
orderly making of plans which are now in progress for
the regular session in January that the effect would be
two sessions without adequate, organized preparation
for either. I have reached the conclusion that it
would not be wise nor in the interest of the public
welfare to call the General Assembly into extraordinary
session in December, and therefore cannot comply with
the request made in the petition.

I recognize that there is no uniformity in punishment
