of the Sixth legislative assembly We're

csng the veto power-Representat |
Cltfords bill legaliziug 20-round glove |
contests and Representative Wash's !
bin amending the law in regard to the
collection and disbursement of the in
surance tax. The former was vetoed
because the governor saw no benefit
that could accrue to the state from the
enactment of such legislation on the
contrary he predicted it would bring an
undesirable element into the state.
Representative Walsh's bill seems to
have been lost on slight error a mis-
take in the number of the section of
the code sought to be amended. Be
sides the vetoes the governor signed d
lot of bills. The governor wrote across
the top of Representative Clifford's bill
(H. b. 1879 the following reasons for his
disapproval:
Il have thought seriously of this
measure and tried to ascertain wherein
III could do our state any material good.
1t will be an advertisement to our state
that Will do us no good Already | see
some one in Butte bidding for a prize
fight contest. The more l have thought
this over. the more L am convinced that
it will invite a class of people TO our
state that could well get on without
their presence. For these reasons |
must decline to approve this bill
These are the reasons that Represent
ative Walsh's bill Oh. b. 44) can not be-
come a law: This bill is disproved for
the reason that it attempts to amend
| md al -E,, ,.f a NF
| civil procedure, When section 6S1 of the
| civil code was evidently intended. The
one actually amended refers to demur
rers. whereas the act says relating to
| insurance
| The bills approved were S B. 1O4,
amending the law to eminent do
! main, so that condemnation proceed
| ingS can be commenced for smeters
and mill sites; S. B. "a. providing for IL
| settlement of the differences between
| Meagher and Cascade counties; S. E.
| 95.Telating 10 state printing. and $. j.
| M. asking to have distractions renov
ed from the Kootenai river: also H. B.
~, fixing the date OF delinquent taxes;
| H. B. 66. relating to posting of attach
ment notices: H. b. los, relating to the
recovery Of placer claims; H. B. lis, re-
ducing bonds of treasurers: H. B. 146,
| creating the offices of deputy state
treasurer auditor, secretary of state
and attorney general; H. B. 1888. amend
ing the constitution as to the supreme
court Fl. B. 1873, attaching property by
sherffs Fl. B. 1876, city and town print
ing contracts; Fl. b., reducing the in
terest on state warrants; H. B. II, Gre
atng relief fund for firemen.
The governor has but one or two
more bills to act upon. Among them is
the bill abolishing the office of supreme
court reporter, and placing that duty
upon the justices with an increase of
each ones salary of $1,500 per year.
The extra session talk was greatly
increased to-day, although the COVER
nor issued no formal call for another
session. Several people pretty close 'tC
the executive received almost positive
| information that he would do so very
soon. When asked by the Standard re-
porter If there would be an extra ses-
sion he said he had the calling of one
for the purpose of enacting laws that
| will increase revenues in contemplation,
He would not say when the call would
| be issued or just along what lines he
would ask the enactment of the pro-
posed revenue laws, but he conveyed
the impression that an extra session
was necessity that could not be
avoided He said he would avail him
self of the privilege conveyed upon the
executive to outline only such matters
as he Thought it desirable for the leg
islature to consider in an extra session
From reliable source it is learned that
the governor has about made up his
mind to issue the call for the extra
session about April J., the law maker:
to be asked to come to Helena ant
commence deliberations April Is. 4
wo-weeks' session is expected to Dc
the business. In anticipat tion of the re
turn of the lawmakers the Helena no
tel proprietors and others expecting t,
derive a benefit are becoming cheerful
in contrast to the gloom that followed
| the recent exodus.
