GOV. ERICKSON
VETOES SESSION
CAN AWAIT REGULAR
SESSION

Helena, Sept. 14.-Governor Err
ickson will not call a special ses'
sion of the legislature to create
a law whereby money might be
obtained to match available fed.
eral funds for immediate road
construction in Montana.
Explaining he was in entire
harmony with any plan which
would speed up the highway pro-
gram, the governor said the reg
ular session of the legislature
would get under way in January
and that he did not believe he
would be Justified in calling the
legislators now.
His statement in part, issued
Sunday, follows:
II have been urged by the di-
rectors of the Montana Automo-
bile association, by chambers Of
commerce over the state and by
many individuals to cali a spe-
cial session of the legislature for
the purpose Of authorizing the is
suance Of anticipatory road a
rants to be paid from future pro-
ceeds of the gasoline tax.
"But in view of the fact that
the regular session of the as
sembly will meet on the first Mon
day of January, next, / do not be-
lieve that an emergency exists
sufficient to justify the expense
to the taxpayers Of the state of
an extra session.
Special sessions Of the legis-
lature are expensive luxuries and
the law contemplates that they
may not be called except when
emergencies exist. In this latitude
road work cannot be prosecuted
to advantage during the severe
winter months and / doubt If any
time would be gained by assemb-
ling the legislature at this time"
