IN SPECIAL SESSION.

One week from today the eleventh
legislative assembly Will meet in spe-
cial session. responsive to the call of
the governor. The session. II Is ex-
pected, will last not more than three
days: its prime purpose is to con-
slider the question Of the material TO
be used in the construction of the
wings to the capitol. Tho state
authorities. acting under the manda-
tory provisions of the statutes. have
awarded the contract for the work OF
charging the capitol to the lowest
bidder. whose figures cali Tor the use
OF eastern stone. AS is known. this
has called opt a protest from those
who have Montana stone for sale and
from those who believe that the home
dealer should have little the beet
Of il in competition with outside bid
ders. In their. award Of the contract.
the state Officers had no alternative:
they are required BY law to award
contracts to the lowest bidders, if
they are to be allowed any discretion
in the matter. authority must be given
by the legislature. While we believe
that home institutions should always
receive consideration and should be
given all the advantage that Is pos
sible In such matters as this. We also
believe that the legislature should so
slowly in departing from the policy Of
awarding public contracts by the sys-
TEN OF competitive bids. There should
not be too much haste at the special
session next week.
