The Root of the Trouble.

YESTERDAY morning the Stand
" ard spoke in criticism of meas
! ure on which legislative action
will be sought and which provides for
the creation of police commissions for
Montana cities of the first class, the
plan being that of the three members
of each commission one shall be the
mayor and two shall be appointed by
the governor
office yesterday from gentlemen in
Butte whom this matter has interested
shows that the Standard spoke yester-
day morning in disregard of a clause
in the state constitution which stands
in the way, and to which, thanking its
informants, this page hastens ITO call
attention.
The Montana constitution prohibits
the legislature from creating municipal,
county. township and precinct offices
with terms longer than two years, hence
a police commission either appointed by
the mayor or elected by the people
would hold for the short term Of two
needless and foolish constitutional in
hibition. But the clause is there and it
is binding. Those who framed the bill
soon to receive attention at Helena
were of the opinion that a two-year
term. for a police commission is too
short for practical purposes; and that
view is sensible enough. So they con-
cluded that the way ito avoid the en-
barge laid down by the constitution
was to give the appointing of the COM
mission to the governor.
The theory is that if the officials are
thus appointed, they become state Off
Gals. Indeed, this is more than a
| theory; that view, it is claimed, is sup
| ported by several sunreme-court decis-
ions in states where the proposition has
been put to a legal test. Really. it ap
| pears, there were only two available
courses in framing the bill in ques-
| tion-assuming that it was on every
account desirable that the terms of
police commissioners should be for
more than two years. One course was
| to provide for the appointment of the
| commissioners by the governor: the
! other involved their election by the
legislature-in either event, the COM
mission would be outside the constitu-
| tional provision that limits to two years
| the terms of municipal officers.
This page stands corrected, there
| fore, as the result of information re-
| ceived yesterday from Butte-evidently
| the Standards plea for long-'term COM
missioners under the mayors appoint
| ment clashes with the constitution
Under the circumstances, the alterna-
tive Is two-year commissionership by
the mayors appointment, or a longer
term, under appointment by the gov
ernor. In fact, the choice thus offered
| is not an easy one to make; somehow,
| it is almost impossible to accept the
| idea that the proposed appointment by
| the governor is a good plan.

at its reception to the members last
Saturday night Everything possible
was done to entertain both the head
| and stomach. The New Years day re-
ception of Thomas Cruise was anoth-
er delightful function, and every man
with a swallow tail took it in At the
hotel despite it's overcrowded condi-
ton, DR.. Cole, Manager Walker and
Chief Clerk Becker have eXerted them
selves to the utmost to insure the com
fort of their guests. The beer halls
are. offering special song and dance at
fractions and the saloons have largely
increased their stocks in anticipation
of the general business revival. Thank
full for the generous patronage of pre-
vious legislatures they respectfully
request a continuance of the same
from the present intelligent and dis
eliminating body. Oyster and clam
parties are being arranged, Chicago
Joe's variety theater is said to be tun-
ming full blast and altogether Helena
is in a swirl of gayety and animation.
You can hear more talk about TIE
bounty law than any other matter of
legislation. The trouble that wolves and
coyotes make is not confined to sheep
and cattle, it extends to the executive,
legislative and judicial branches of the
state government To some members
the senatorial fight itself seems to be
of secondary Importance to the Iues-
ton whether the bounty should or
should not be removed from coyote
skins The sheep and cattle men talk
wolves and coyotes by the hour. You
hear them at breakfast, at luncheon,
at dinner, on the streets, in the sa-
looms, everywhere The controversy is
waxing hotter and fiercer every day
and when the time comes-when at
last the subject is brought up for dis
cussion on the floor-the sergeant-at-
arms may have to be extraordinarily
alert and energetic to prevent the die
putants from lending point and en-
phasis to their arguments by means
of guns. To the members from the
mining counties, who know no more
about wolves and coyotes than the
Old and New Testament, the contro-
versy has it's amusing features
In this connection the laws govern
ing the National park are coming in
for some abuse. Under these wolves
and coyotes in the park enjoy the
same protection from hunters as do
all other wild beasts of prey, and it
has come to pass that the National
park has become a permanent breed
ing place for the pests. Even hunters
so reckless as to defy the law by go
ing into the park to shoot deer don't
care to take a crack at the wolves
and coyotes. 1t is said that when they
have attained their majority in the
park and are ready to start out in life
for themselves the young animals i'm
migrate to Montana by hundreds and
thousands.
Second, perhaps only to the wolf and
bounty law as a theme Of debate is
the road law passed by the legislature
of 1897. This measure has a few de-
fenders-only a few. The great ma
jority of members put in a good share
of their time taking a kick at it They
| abuse it on general and special prin-
ciples. There are one or two members
who can hardly talk about it without
flying into a passion and raying like
madmen
