redecorating OF the grounds around
the capitol building which he is going
to start as soon as the weather will
permit. Some of the trees will be cut
out and Others will he planted. walks
will be put in so that visitors may get
around without walking on the grass
and q number Of flower beds will be
put in. In order to keep the grounds
in proper conditions it will be neces-
sary to prohibit the picnic parties that
have been prevalent in past years. 1t
is also planned to build a road around
the grounds n the unsightly hill
back Of the building will be graded
down. This will not mean much ex-
pense to the state az most Of the work
will he done with convict labor and
the results will more than justify
what little money will be needed.

Judge stated in his remarks following

had been so much contradictory testi-

that in his opinion the state had failed

Few Female Prisoners.
The arrival Of a female prisoner
at the p~enitentiary here brings to
mind the fact that North Dakota prob
ably holds the record for the small
number Of female prisoners held in the
penitentiary. There are. with the re-
cent arrival. only three female in
mates at the institution. Two have
been here for some time. One of the
prisoners is serving a sentence for the
crime of m~anslaughter while the 9TH
er two are convicted under the white

THERE WILL BE NO
SPECIAL SESSION
GOV. HAINES RULES AGAINST
1T AND SETS FORTH REASONS
WHY HE OBJECTS
Finds That People Are Opposed to
Gathering of Solons-Expense
Would be Out of Proportion to
Probable Benefit.

Governor Haines after making as
careful an investigation as limited
time would permit and after getting
fairly accurate expression of the
state at large, has placed his veto
on the proposition of holding a
special session of the Legislature.
This matter came up several
weeks ago. largely as the result of
a suggestion made before the Com
mercial club of this city by F. H.
Newell, director of the United States
Exclamation service. This sugges-
ton was to the effect that the ma
tional government and the state
cooperate by putting in dollar
for dollar to finance some of the
Carey act projects in the state that
seem to be in need of help.
Strong Pressure is Used.
Following this much pressure was
brought to. bear on the state land
board, especially from settlers on
the irrigation projects, to induce the
state to accept Director NewelPs
proposal and join hands with the
federal government for the purpose
of relieving the situation.
Governor Haines and the other
members of the land board, in con-
sidering this matter. discovered that
there was no money in the Carey
act fund or amy other fund avail
able for such purpose. 1t was also
decided that the land board had no
authority to use state funds for such
purpose; that such authority must
be granted by the legislature. Until
that was dome the hands of the
state land board were tied in the
matter.
Big Issue of Bonds.
Then it was proposed to call a
special session of the legislature and
take the necessary steps to have
the state float a $25, 100000 or
$50,000,000 bond issue, the proceeds
to be used for the improvement of
irrigation projects, drainage dis
tricts and cut-over land projects.

SO many obstacles were thrown
in the way of this undertaking that
the governor finally concluded that
it would be unwise to call a special
Legislative session. He set forth
his reasons in the following state
ment given to the press ON Satur-
day:
Reasons of the Governor.
Il have definitely decided not to
call special session of the legis-
lature unless some emergency
should arise which is not apparent
at the present time.
The question of calling a special
session has been seriously consid-
cred by me. and it is no doubt true
that there are certain matters of
large business Importance which
might profitably be acted upon by
the legislature at the present time.
Il soon discovered however, that
there are at least three, if not
four. vacancies in the mem bershfp
of the legislature which would have
TO be filled by special elections The
expense of holding such elections
would naturally be great and, at
least three counties, Lemhi, Latah
and Shoshone. would impose a bur
den upon people who are not in
terested i'm a special session.
Il also discovered that 1T would
be practically impossible to limit
the matters to be considered so as
to meet the ideas of the members
of the legislature, each member
having his own ideas of the sub
jects which should be included in
the call and the collective opinion
covering nearly the whole range of
legislation usually considered at a
regular session.
Strong Sentiment Against it.
Then too, l found that the gem
eral sentiment throughout the state
was clearly and strongly opposed to
the Calling of a special session. The
people of the state are opposed to
special sessions of the legislature
There can be no doubt of that fact.
1t is probable that / should have
called a special session, however, in
response to the urgent demand from
northern Idaho, if special elections
to fill vacancies had not been neces-
Sary, and if a working agreement
could have been reached as to the
subjects to be cons idered and a
time limit of not to exceed five days
definitely fixed, so that the total
expense of the session could have
been kept within reasonable limit.
Because of the conditions 1 have
outlined, 1 have concluded that the
