Show DERN GIVES FORMAL CALL FOR SESSION Date Set for January 3; Legislative Task is Outlined Out-lined in Message of Utah State's Chief Executive. Formal proclamation calling the 1933 Utah legislature into special session, beginning, Tuesday, Tues-day, January 3, was issued by Governor George H. Dern Saturday, Sat-urday, after consultation with Henry H. Blood, who will be governor gov-ernor at' the time the special session meets. The purpose of the session will be to consider the proposed code revision. It is possible that, to avoid any possible question of legality of the special -session, Mr. Blood, after becoming governor, January Janu-ary 2, will renew Governor Dern's call. The state constitution, in the section under which the session is called, provides that the legislature leg-islature "shall transact no legislative legis-lative business except that for which it was especially called, or such other legislative business as the governor may call to its at tention while in session. The legislature is given the constitutional consti-tutional right to provide for the expenses incidental to the special spe-cial session. Legal importance, therefore, attaches, to the language of Governor Gov-ernor Dern's .proclamation, which calls on the members "elected to serve at the twentieth legislature to meet at the capitol in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, the 3rd day of January, 1933, at noon for the purpose of taking action upon the following subjects of legislation: "To consider, amend, reject or ratify the proposed revision of the laws of the state of Utah as heretofore prepared and printed by the code commission appointed appoint-ed by the supreme court of the state under the provisions of Utah laws, and the proposed amendments thereof by the Utah legislative code committee under the provisions of chapter 61, and the proposed amendments, by the said legislative code committee commit-tee of the laws of Utah not included in-cluded in the revision by the said code commission under the provisions of rh.inter 51. laws of Utah, 1031.
