RESIGNATION Of ]. Y. McClintock. Commissioner OF
p,,bl;c Works This break arises from scan-
daI which had its origin in the awarding or the
annual city sprinkling contracts, and which may
have its next scene in the grand Jury room at
that body's spring session Commissioner Nc

mand at once and replied that he would noio
the matter in consideration until Monday. 1t Is
understood that MIR. McClntock will decline to

will be taken for the purpose OF forcing the
Mayors hand, and will probably bring the az
fair before the courts
The open break came this morning at the
meeting of the Board Of Contract and Supply.
Wien the bids for the city sprinkling were filed
about three weeks ago. the Mayor refused to
ard the work to Thomas Holahan. who has
had the contract for several years, on the
ground that the bids were exorbitant Charges
were made that a combination controlled the
city sprinkling and, after various counter
charges. the matter was investigated by COM
mttee from the Common Council. The sessions
ended yesterday. Evidence was given that a
combination existed whose efforts were concen-
trated upon the object Of fixing Holahan he
could not bid and at the time throwing
the contract into their laps. Some of the self
confessed members Of this ring admitted that
the sprinkling contracts were generally arranged
beforehand. with the understanding that the
successful bidder should divide the profits by
giving the rest OF the combia alton their share
Of the work. In the course Of the hearings. 1t

is termed by some as the ''Hinzie pol
itical organizations. The call which
has been issued for mass meeting at

Hundreds of prominent citizens of ev-
cry political faith have announced
their desire to be present and assist in
the formation OF an organization

GOVERNORS MESSAGE

Executive Office, Helena, Montana,
December 1, 1908.
To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives of the Eighth Legislative AS
sembly in Extraordinary Session:
The purpose for which and the cir
cumstances under which you are as
sembled are set forth IN the proclama-
ton converting you in extraordinary
session.
Much stress has been laid upon
what is claimed to be an imperfection
Of our laws in this, that no provision
is made for dsqualifying a district
judge where bias or prejudice is
shown
This omission was sought to be
corrected at the seventh Legislative SEES
sion by the passage of a bill which, for
reasons then stated, was vetoed.
AT the eighth regular session the
subject again received the attention of
the legislature, and a bill, constructed
on ditferent lines but designed to ac-
complish the same result, was passed,
but it was found upon test case that
it contravened the constitution in sew
eral respects, and for these reasons
failed to become operative.
am not advised except in a general
way, as to what will be proposed in
that behalf at this session, nor am l.
in view of the objections heretofore
urged and sustained, prepared to
make any recommendations concerning
the same If your knowledge of the
fundamental law and the exigencies
of the hour fail to point the way, |
must assume that those who by petit
tions and otherwise have been insis-
tent upon calling you together will
find and formulate an adequate RENE
dy; but whatever form it takes, it must
be remembered that you are legislat,ng
for the future and for the whole state,
and that your task is not without diff
culties, whether considered with refer
ence to constitutional restraints,
public policy, or pratical utility.
If the change of Judge be suggested
1t, must not be forgotten that the SUI
preme court, according to it's decision
in re Ryan VS. Weston, cannot make
the appointment for the reason that it
is outside of its constitunal powers.
1t would also seem clear under the
decision referred to, that wherever the
power of appointment is lodged, no
limitation can be imposed by ligisla-
ton which would exclude the right to
appoint any judge, Notwithstanding he

The Montana Daily Record in it's
Tuesdays issue contains the follow
ing: "King Edward wins prizes at
cattle show" We wonder what breed
of cattle he was entered under.
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1903-12-03

The situation therefore calls for the
exercise of consumate skill and Judge
ment on your part.
1t is therefore incubent upon you to
see to it that every paragraph. provis-
ion and page of any measure proposed
along these lines are so plain and pal
able as to avoid the suggestion or sus-
picion of being heterogeneous, dis
sembling or deceptive, thus avoiding,
if possible. the necessity of judicial
construction in the case of its final
passage.
While isolated and individual cases
may serve to show the defect, if any,
of existing laws and the necessity for
corrective legislation, we should be
mindful of the fact that an eye single
to our duty to the state make it imper-
ative that we avoid even the semblance
of craftsmanship or special legislation
which are forbidden alike by public
policy and the constitution.
Concerning the second proposition
mentioned IN the proclamation, to-wt:
The power of the supreme court to re-
view the evidence on appeal of equity
! cases, it would seem to me that if pro-
vision is made which, in the opinion of
the legislature, is designed to make
more certain fair trial before a fair
Judge, the reason for review of the
evidence by the supreme court in
equity cases has largely failed.
Such evidence when it reaches the
SUPP eme court is in narrative form on
ly. It is not impressed by the presence
of the " illnesses and their manner Of
testifying.
Everyone must know there is diff
ference in the effect of the same words
when delivered in open court by the
mouth of a witness and when read
from manuscript in narrative form.
They may seem worthy of credit in
one case, and positively unworthy of
all credit in the other.
Who can be unmndful of the intlu-
ence of the manner and carriage of a
witness on the stand?
The e are many things aside from
the literal import of the words uttered
by the witness while testifying, on
which the value of his evidence de-
ponds. These it is impossible to
transfer to paper.
Taken in the aggregate they consti-
tute vast moral power in eliciting
the truth, all of which is lost when
read in another court or reproduced in
VIC III III VI llttl dtlOU.
1t would seem that the Judge who
tried the case, looked upon the witness
saw and heard the manner of his testi-
tying, is in a better position to sift the
truth and mete out justice than a tri-
bunal bereft of these advantages.
However, those are suggestions
which, OF course, presuppose fair trial
before far judge, and do not in any
manner assume to reflect the concen-
sus of opinion of the bar of this state,
nor are they considered insuperable
objections to such a system which OBJ
tains, believe, in many of the states
and uniformly in the federal courts.
1t is believed by many that the DOW
er to review evidence on appeal in
equity cases already exists in the SUI
preme court, and that what really
seems to be desired is that in matters
OF an equitable nature it shall be the
duty of the supreme court to exercise
such power, and render such Judge
ment as of a right ought to be rem
dered.
To what extent the supreme court
would be bound under the constitution
Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1903-12-03

in order that your work may not fail
for want of executive authority anG
that no question may rise on that ac-
count, recommend lin the event that
you deem it wise or expedient to confer
the power of review as indicated in the
proclamation). that you also make it
the duty of the supreme court in equity
cases and cases of an equitable nature
to exercise such power in such cases
and review all questions of fact aris-
ing upon the evidence presented in the
record and determine the same as we'll
as questions of law so presented, un-
less for good cause, a new trial or the
taking of further evidence in the court
below shall be ordered. Care, howev-
err, should be taken that the powers of
the supreme court in other cases are in
no manner abridged.
AS before suggested, there may be
some question as to the validity of such
Legislation, but it is certain that the
mere right to review in such cases
without an insurance that such right
will be exercised might prove to be an
empty and unavailing power.
Aside from this contingent recon-
mendation made for the purpose afore-
said, my other recommendation con-
corning these matters is that you take
up, and consider and dispose of them
in the solemnity of thought and free
dom from bias which is presumed to
attend your deliberations, hewing al
ways to that line, which indicates the
greatest good to the greatest number,
letting the chips fall where they
may.
| have been importuned since the
proclamation was issued, calling this
session, to extend the scope of YOUR
powers so as to include the creation of
railroad commission and providing
Tor the initiative and referendum, di-
rect primaries and numerous other
measures, which, for obvious reasons
ought not to be injected into the DELHI
| erations Of a special session called for
special purpose.
The constitution requires the govern
or to embrace in his proclamation the
Legislative subjects to be considered,
and this was intended to apprise the
public at large of what might be ex-
pected, so that by discussion in the
press and otherwise, public sentiment
might crystalize and find expression.
1t is true that provision is made by
which the executive can, in his judge
HiS''' SN'Siu lilC SCOpe vi icy lSldClNe
power by special recommendations,
but this should be done only in cases
of special character which do not run
counter to the reason of the rule re-
curing publicity by proclamation.
l assume that the preparation and
passage of proper bills of the charac-
ter last mentioned would necessarily
prolong this session beyond the reas-
enable expectations of all of us.
1t is perhaps true that railroad
lobby could be quickly summoned to
represent the railroad interests, but it
is not at all probable that the publc's
interests could be SO speedily found or
made manifest.
a similar request was made by me
at the extra session in May last, and
in reply to this l said:
1.-The public whose interests are to
be effected are likewise euttled to be
appraised OF the character of legislation
which is contemplated in an extra SEES
sion, and there are no means of doin"
this without unduly prolonging this
session.

protect witnesses testifying in a
