NO FUNDS TO DEFEND !.
THE Pure PAINT Law

john S. Watson, with Assistant At
torney General Stevens, will conduct
the defense in the case brought by the
paint manufacturers to prevent the en-
forcement of the pure paint law.
David S. Maclay, who made the lead
ing argument for the defense at the
heaming before Judge ,Amidon last
week, will leave ON a trip to the
West Indies. ~
The question of funds in serious
one for the defense in the case. The
state legislature made NO provisions
for funds to enforce the pure paint
law and this fact has caused the state
officials considerable embarrassment
The fact was taken into consideration
by Judge Amidon and his order was
made with view to keeping down
the costs in the case as much as pos
sible.
The court ordered that all of the
hearings in the case should be taken
in Fargo unless otherwise stipulated
between the attorneys. The attor-
neys for the defense conceded to the
attorneys for the compliments that
the taking of the testimony on be-
half of the complainants should occur
in Minneapolis.
