I have your letter of June 12th with reference to calling a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of passing on the suffrage amendment. Our Legislature adjourned last March with the understanding that I was to call a special session in the Spring, or early summer of 1920 to consider the question of taxation. I am going to do this. I cannot call the session earlier for the reason that the tax question cannot be considered until the revaluation of property, now under way, is finished. That will not be done until about next April.

In view of these circumstances I do not think it advisable to call an extraordinary session to consider the suffrage amendment, but will present the amendment to the special session next summer.
