Special Session
Is Now Probable
Republican Executive Board and Wy
Oming Stock Growers Urge Gov
ernOr to Issue Cali.

If the recommendations of the re-
publican State Executive Committee
are carried out by Governor Ross,
Wyoming's legislature probably will
be called in special session some time
this summer to remedy a clerical error
in the so-called State Farm Loan Act.
and to pave the way for the financial
relief of the farmers.
Such u meeting was formally re-
quested and recommended last Friday
at a special meeting of the republican
Executive Board, composed of seven
members of the republican state com
mittee. The resolutions adopted at
that time were presented to Governor
Ross on the same day by Senators II.
s. Kirk of Goshen County and w. w.
Daley of Carbon County, two members
of the board, and by way of reply, the
chief executive announced that he
would write each member of the legis-
lature to ascertain his views on the
subject.
In the resolutions emphasis was
laid on the fact that the proceedings
would ave to be for the sole purpose
of putting through the amended law.
The chief executive forthwith planned
to request the solons to pledge them
selves not only to agree to bring up no
other matters, but also to refuse to
vote for them in case they did come
up. A letter, asking them If they
would make such a promise was sent
out the first of this week.

Two Big Days of
Races and Sports
Interesting Programs Arranged for
Wild West Show at Fair Grounds
on July 9TH and 9Th, 1928.

Arrangements are rapidly being
completed for the big two-day race
meet and celebration in Saratoga ON
July 4th and 9th, and the afternoon
programs to be put on ut the fair
grounds on these days are now COM
plete. Robert Greig, who Is manag-
ing the show this a has spent the
past several days visiting all parts of
the county, distributing advertising
matter and gathering up bad horses
and other attractions for the wild west
exhibitions at the fair grounds. He
expected to engage the Hanna band
and orchestra while in the coal town,
which will insure good poppy music
for the grand stand and the dances.
Mr.. Greig has contracted with local
people for the construction of an
arena on lots which he owns on the
east side of the river, where several
boxing contests will be staged during
the two days of the celebration. 9th
er amusement plans are also under
way and there will be something do
ing every minute and amusement for
everybody, according to Mr.. Greig.
Following are the events that will
be seen on the fair grounds during
the afternoons of July 4th and 9Th:

out Saturday that the saving to the
in n county would repre-
sent several times the cost of the ses-
sion. Properties that farmers haye
spent twenty or thirty years in
building up are in danger of being
placed under the auctioneer's hammer,
they asserted the country banks are
unable to extend further help to rural
customers in most agricultural cum-
munities and the latter face serious
consequences unless some relief is OBJ
tanned.
Under the Farm Loan Act, as passed
by the 1923 session. the maximum
loans to individuals would have been
raised from 5000 each to $40. 900 and
the rate of interest would have been
lowered from 6 to ; per cent. In copy
ing the measure before it was present
ed to the governor for his signature.
an enrolment clerk failed to include
several provisions agreed to by the
conference committee from the two
houses. Following the close of the
session, Attorney General Howell ruled
that this failure would serve to multi
fy the effect of these amendments and
leave the act about as it was passed in
1921. lHC
Several weeks ago Senators Arthur
K. Lee, II. S. Kirk and Simon Skov-
gard. three republican leaders of the
upper house, asked the chief executive
to call a special session in order that
the defect might be remedied. At first
the plea fell on deaf ears, but since
that time the agricultural interests
generally, over the state, have been
insisting upon such a session. The
recent convention of the Wyoming
Stockgrowers Association, held in
Cheyenne, wen on record as ~favoring
such a session. Coupling this with
the formal recommendation of the ex-
ecutive committee. it is thought that
the governor will probably issue the
necessary call within the near future.

Not many days after he took office
President Coolidge announced that

of his administration. He allowed
it to be understood that it referred
particularly to domestic affairs. With
in the past few days Mr.. Coolidge
has given expression to another
thought, which has particular refer

Probably the number of outstanding
citizens of all political compilations, sec
