TALK OF CALLING SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE
-Four Subjects are Suggested for Legislation, any
One of Which, It IS Claimed, Would Jus
tifY the Holding Of the Session.

Boise, June l4.-Agitation is on
foot for a special session of the
Legislature next winter, beginning
about the middle Of January and
running twenty days. This sug-
geStion originated among some of
the close advisers of Governor
Haines. 1t meets with favor in
some quarters and is strongly op-
posed in others. Here in the
state capital the impression pre-
walls that the session will be held.
Four important subjects are sug-
gested for legislation, any one of
which it is asserted would Justify
the holding of a special session.
The cost to the state is estimated
at $40, 600
Perhaps the most pressing cub
ject put forth for consideration at
this time is that of irrigation se-
curities. Idaho has suffered in a
financial and industrial way from a
number of wildcat irrigation prop
ositions promoted in the southern
part of the state. Because of these
eastern investors have lost conf
dehce and settlers who have suffer
cd hardship and loss by locating on
some Of these projects are "knock-
ing" the state.
Last winter the legislature pro-
vIded for commission to investl-
gate this subject and do what was
ne ecessary to place irrigation securi-
ties on a solid footing. In this
way it is hoped to stamp out this
blight Of wildcat irrigation schemes
and restore the confidence of inves-
tors in the Legitimate industries of
the state.
Another subject that is pressing
for attention is the workmen's COM
Pensation act. This was urged
with vigor upon the regular session
Iant winter. Il was an issue in the
lant campaign and was endorsed by
Republicans, Democrats and Bull
Moose. No law was enacted at tbs
re gular session. Instead a com
m ittee was appointed to investigat,
the subject aud to report to tn,
next session. Governor Halnes hai
not yet appointed his committee
but it 10 urged that this could b
d one and good law prepared fo
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1913-06-20

submission at the special session.
Still-another matter that is sug-
gested for consideration by a spec
ial session is the recall of unfit pub
lie officials. AT the regular election
last fall 3 recall amendment TO the
state constitution was adopted by a
big majority. But legislation is
necessary to make this recall effec-
tive and this legislation failed at the
regular session.
Something new in the way Of Q
recall ls now advocated. 1t il to
give the voters the power to recall
any Official who was unsatisfactory
to them In any way, bnt to have
the vacancies filed by the governor
or other appointive power. This,
it is urged, would result in having
officials recalled on the merits Of
the case-on the question of wheth-
er the officer was fit or unft-and
not because dozen other citizens
bowling for his scalp with the idea
primarily in view that they might
succeed him.
Closely associated with placing
the irrigation securities of the state
on better footing is that of max
ing the "blue sky law effective.
This law was enacted last winter.
1t Is compiled largely after the
Kansas law and is intended primar-
lily to prevent the sale in the state
of stock in any corporation that Is
not recognized and indorsed by the
proper state officials. No approp-
prlation was made TO put this law in
force.
One other subject suggested for
aspecial a session is the matter Of
free transportation over the rail-
roads for certain state officials, such
as fish and game wardens, timber
guards, horticultural inspectors,
land appraisers and others. One OF
the first acts of the new public
utilities commission was to abolish
all free transportation among all
public officials. It means fully
$50, 900 a year. But the Legislature
made no provision for transports-
ton to take the place of this fre,
transportation and some of the de
partments find themselves badly
handicapped.

FREE TRADERS
AND "THE LOBBY"

In politics, rs In many other things
I'D life, great deal depends on the
point OF view. President Wilson's
screaming denunclation Of the lob
by which is IN Washington oppos-
ing certain features of the Under
wood bill has naturally attracted a
great deal Of attention. The Pres
ident declares that the members of
Congress should not be interrupted
while they are engaged in the pat
rlotic work Of smashing the existing
tariff law. In fact he considers
those who come to Washington for
the purpose of influencing legislation
as altogether undesirable citizens.
But one thing leads to another,
and the Presidents proclamation has
brought forth the fact that there is
q free-trade lobby in the Capital City,
whose purpose Is to induce members
or Congress-by the use of reason
aOlely-to pass the free schedules OF
The Underwood bill, and, il possible,
to add to the number of articles that
are still on the dutiable list. Certain
organizations have men at the seat
Of government who are distributing
literature in the interests of free SUI
gar. Until the President sent out
his warning it was supposed that

STATEMENT FROM

sheritfis Office in the enforcement Of
the local option law that many cities
of the state in dry territory are re-
ceiving, stated the truth and Sher-
if Olson does not deny it. This
statement was made in calling the
attention Of the council to the nee
essity for an allowance for extra pO-
lice service. Is It .sunwarranted"
and "uncalled for for the mayor Of
q city TO state the truth to the coun-
Gil in business matter involving the
expenditure of the peoples money?
I do not understand 1t to be my
duty as mayor to request the high
sheriff of Bear Lake county to dc
that which the law says he shall do
However, Chief OF Police Nelson in

ed sheriff Olson TO assist him in clos
ing the "dive" over the postoffice

LET'S HAVE A RACE
MEET THIS YEAR

What's the matter with having
race meet and horse show in Mont
pelier about the last week in Aug
ust or the first week IN September
We have as fine a half-mile track
as there ia in the state, and all that
is necessary to bring some good
horses here is to offer attractive
purses.
A horse show could easily be
conducted IN connection with the
races, and the two events would be
the means of attracting large crowds
70 Montpelier during the week.
The American people crave GER
tain amount of amusement and
sport and there is no class of sport
that will draw larger crowds than
good horse races. The race meets
held in Montpelier IN the past have
heen successful both from the point
Of speed contests and attendance
The holding of these meets were
due entirely TO the efforts of Mesers.
Strong, but they were unable to
continue them because of the lack
of financial support from the busi-
ness interests on Montpelier.
These two men are ready to do
their share towards promoting =
race meet here this season, but In
the absence Of an organized associa-
ton they can do nothing without
financial assistance from the busi-
ness men of Montpelier, and il
does seem TO us that a sufficient
sum ought to be raised to permit
of liberal purses being offered for .
three days race meet, at east and
then two days devoted 10 . hors'
show.
We all know that the hors,
shows held in Montpelier in tn,
past nave been successful, and havl
, resulted not only in attracting
i. crowds here from distant points
: but have been the means of adver
! tising Bear Lake valley a. one 0
the best horse-rsising sections il
. the west. Then the holding O
horse shows stimulates the horse
!: raising industry and we believe
' little "stimulant" of this natuF
would be a good thing for the far
mers of the valley at this time.
4 The Examiner is ready TO do il
e share toward promoting these w
o events for Montpelier this yea
and will subscribe . liberal sum i
