LEGISLATURE NOT
To ACT IN FIGHT
GRASSHOPPERS
Governor Dixon Declines to
Call Session at Request
of ScObey.
(Tribune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena, July IAN extraordinary
session of the Montana legislature viii
not be called for the purpose of enact
ing legislation to provide means for
combating the g%rasshopper menace
That was made apparent Saturday by
Governor Joseph NJ. Dixon in his re-
ply to a request for the calling Of such
an extra session made by the business
men of Scobey.
A movement for a request upon the
governor for an extraordinary session
of the legislative assembly had been
~inaugurated by the Judith Basin county
farmers at Stanford several days ago.
but so far Governor Dixon has been
advised of such a desire only through
the columns of The Great Falls Tri-
bune.
However. on Saturday, the governor
received a telegram from the Scobey
Business Mems association through a
committee composed of w. II. Ste
phens, John S. Nyquist. j. V. Bennett.
Sid Bennett and Fl. J. Christensen, as
follows:
The grasshopper menace in Dan
iels county is a rea! menace and unless
a concerted action is taken crops will
soon be destroyed. There are no
county funds for aid and the financial
condition of the farmers will not per-
NIT of any extensive program. We
would recommend that you call a spe-
cial session Immediately and appropri-
ate funds. Immediate action will be
effective in saving this and next years
crops"
Governor Dixon Immediately wired
a reply in which he explained that such
q special session of the legislature
would cost the state $4,000 and even
with that expense no action could be
obtained in less than 10 days or two
weeks. by which time any relief so OBJ
tanned would be too late.
Governor Dixon called attention to
Chapter 227 of the laws of the last
legislative assembly, the insect pest
control act, which conveys to the boards
of commissioners of the counties the
right to expend funds for the purpose
of Graduating insects and which pro-
vides that if money is not available
county warrants can be issued which
would not be payable until the follow
ing year.
The governor suggested that the
committee get into communication
with the commissioners of adjoining
counties and arrange for a cooperative
drive against the grasshoppers. He also
wired +. S. Cooley, state entomologist.
at Bozeman, to get in touch with the
Daniels county petitioners.
