effect OF bringing in from the country

The increase In attendance, together
with the fact that new recruits are be,

The County Commissioner TangIe.

The County Commissioner Tangle.
The question as to the legal per.
sonnet of the board of commissioners
of Chouteau county is still a matter
of controversy at this writing. At the
Tuesday afternoon session of the
board a change in the situation was
developed by the members of the old
board rendering their resignation,
and the appointment of their success
sors by Judge Utter. The nomina.
tions made by the latter were A. L.
Lewis, of Floweree, for the two year
term; j. G. THAN, of Highwood, four
year.term; V. F. Blankenbaker, of
Virgelle, for the six-year term.
These appointments were made on
the theory that there were no vacancies
on the board until the old members
resigned, and that Immediately upon
their resignation the vacancies so
created could be filed. This is the
view held by some of the legal author
tiles.
On the other hand it is commended
tina t the mere fact that members of the
old board we're residents of the new
counties of Blaine and Hill as soon
as the new counties we're organized
was sufficient to ~ vacancies 90
the Chouteau county board. This
view of the matter is supported by
| reference to a Montana law which
says: "Each member of q board Of
county commissioners must be an
elector of the county he representa-"
Another section OF the statutes
quoted by supporters of this view OF
the matter says an Office becomes
vacant when the incumbent ceases to
be q resident of the district or county
within which the duties of his Office
are required to be discharged.
As to the relative value Of these
conflicting legal opinions, further de-
velopments will probably decide.

A County Commissioners Mixup.

There is temporary confusion in the
management of Chouteau county af-
fairs, owing to a legal question as to
the status Of the board of county COM
missioners. It was the general i'm.
preston that the old board, all the
members of which live in territory out
of which the new counties of Hill and
Blaine were formed, would remain in
Office for a few days and clean up
pending business with which they were
familiar, but the matter of their legal
right to continue in office has been
raised.
The regular meeting OF the board
a. scheduled for Monday morning,
and before the accustomed hour for
meeting the appointments of their
successors we're filed in the county
clerks Office. The appointments had
been made by Judge Tattan as fol
lows: John V. Carroll, for the six.
year term; H. J. W ackerlin. four-year
OCIIbs NCOs l.. OVCl AClNS V"O'yCol
term. The appointees qualified i'm.
mediately by taking the oath of Office
and filing their official bonds. and
proceeded to organize by electing
John V. Carroll chairman of the
board.
The members of the old board, who
had not been apprised of these pro-
ceedings, arrived a short time after
ward to follow the usual order of
business, and found the new board 10
possession. This caused an unex-
pected situation, the members of the
old board being under the impression
that, for a short time at least, they
were privileged to transact certain
business, after which they were pre-
pared to resign and turn over the
man sgement of Chouteau county at.
fairs to their successors.
The point at issue is the residence
qualification OF members of the old
board. A few days ago the county
governments of Hill and Blaine coun-
ties we're formally organized by Judge
Utter, who approved the bonds of most
of the elective officials and announced
the dates for terms of district court.
1t 10 held by some legal authorities
that the existence of these newly or
gained county governments makes
the mem bers of the old board of com
missioners non resident as to their
relations with Chouteau county, and
that vacancies on the board resulted
from the organization of the new
counties az separate institutions.
1t is a question of law about which
the average layman is not competent
to express IN opinions; nor is it known
at this writing whether a similar stu.
alton has developed elsewhere on somt
former occasion, and was referred te
the courts for adjudication.
