No Drainage Law

NO EXTRA SESSION CALLED THIS YEAR
Too Expensive Says The Governor And People In
South Do Not Want II

There will be no extra session Of
the Idaho legislature this year This
decision was reached by Governor
Halnes Saturday After considering
the demands for an extra session the
governor finally reached decision
not to call one and late Saturday
issued a statment giving bis reas ms
The statement in part is asstollows:
81 have definitely decided not to
call a special session Of the legislat
ure unless some emergency should
arise which Is not apparent at the
present time. The question of call
ing special session has been seriou
sly considered by me, and 1t Is no
doubt true that there are uerta in mat
ters of large business importance
which might protitahly be acted upon
by the legislature at the preeut time

time three, II not four. vacancies in

elections would naturally be great.

of the state are opposed to special
sessions General sentiment through
out the state is oppused to IT,. 1t Is
probable that / would have called q
special session. however, In response
to the urgent demand from north
Idaho. II special elections had not
been necessary
With this decision OF the governor
all hope of doing anything with the
overflow problem vauishes for a long
time to come. Ths settlers on the
overfIowed lands Of the st Joe will
have to put up with the present con
ditIons for another two years or more
The legislature will uOt meet until
a year from this coming January and
it will be some time after they meet
before a new drainage law can be en-
acted Aher the new law is passed
it Will take some time TO form
drainage district 80 that il will be
eighteen months at least before any
steps can be taken towards carrying
out the plans made last summer for
lowering the Spokane river
It will probably take from six
months to a year before the work can
be completed after It is started so
that it will be from two TO two and a
half years beforethe settlers can hope
TO- cultivate their lands without dan
ger from the river OVERLOOKING them
The costs of an extra session would
have b"en but slight as compared to
the damage which the enforced delay
will be to the settlers along the river
