i Im■ rs of the sixteenth * ssion »»: the
I Montana legislature, which will eon
j vi m* in Helena Monday. .Ianuar> u.
; seem determined to prevent, the
j passage of unnecessary or frivolous
legislation While freak lulls are ex
pected to be plentiful, there is the* ex
pressed intention upon the part of the
leaders in both senate and house to
kill them as fast as possible.
The Republicans are in contnd in
both branches by more than a two
thirds membership. Probably som* of
th<‘ earliest acts of the new legisla
ture will be inauguration of investiga
tions into the present state adminis- *
t ration, which is Democratic, and
w hich the Republicans allege has been
wasteful of the state’s funds. Them*
investigations tire intended to wipe
out some of the bureaus and depart
monts which the Republicans claim
are useless, and maintained to pro
\ ide positions for members of tie*
opposition party
An effort is expected to be made
to change the state's primary law, so
;.s to remove some of the features of
the act which are declared to be ob
jectionable Among other measures
suggested are revision of the herd
law. providing tests for gasoline, mak
ing it m.mdatorv for elevators to be
equipped to clean grain, providing
changes in irrigation laws, weed laws,
gr; in inspection measures, seed loan
legislation and lowering interest
rates
The proihbition question will re
ceive some attention, though under a
luling of the attornev general the
^'ate w»*nt "dry" last night at mid
night rite legislation to be sought
will provide means for the strict en
forcement of the prohibition law
Prohibition forces are understood to
be preparing to urge the passage of
a "bone-dry" measure which is in
tended to prevent the sale of even
near-beer.
