GOODIAG LIKELY TO
CALL SPECIAL SESSION
Retiring Executive of Idaho
May Add to Already COmpli-
Gated Political Situation.
Special TO The Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune,
BOISE. Ida, Nov, 29-Tt is stated
here that Governor Gooding will call
a special session of the Idaho lcgis-
laturc to meet here the last week of
December Ger the purpose of consider
ing the state code as revised and COM
piled by Attorney J. F. McLane, of
this city, as provided for at the last
session of the legislature. The call
if made, will be issued to the members
of the legislature elected at the recent
election. as under the state constitution
the terms of the new members begin
on December ].
The calling. of the special session is
provided for in the act authorizing the
codification Of the laws, but other mat
tiers may be considered at that time,
providing the governor SO announces
his call. It is possible and somewhat
probable that Mr.. Gooding will wish
to have some unfinished work of the
last legislature cleaned up before he
retires from office, and he may so
state in the forthcoming call; and he
could make state appointments for the
next two years and they could be con-
firmed legally, If the politically dis
sipated executive should go on the war
path in these matters, it would leave
the incoming governor In a quandary.
Almost anything may be expected.
