WORKMEN'S LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
COMPENSATION ACT UPHELD BY
SUPREME COURT OF MON
TANA-COUNTlES LIABLE.
PLENTY OF ELK FOR RANGES
Animals May be Obtained by Any
Montana Community-Butte and
Anaconda Apply for 90 Head.

f16loud
To the general satisfaction of al
parties concerned, the state supreme
court in an opinion by Associate JUS
tice Holloway has affirmed the judg
ment of the district court of Lewis
and Clark county, which was to the
effect that the provisions of the work.
mems compensation law applied to
counties and county employees.
After quoting from the constitution
with reference to bills passed by a
legislature which contain more than
one subject clearly expressed in their
title, which it was contended was true
In the case of the workmen's com.
pensation act, the high court declares
that the law must be held to be suf-
ficient to meet the requirements of the
constitution, although admitting that
counties and county employees are not
included "eo nomine" in the title.
Any Montana community desiring to
stock its nearby ranges with elk can
have its order filled this winter, in
the opinion of Game Warden J. L..
De Hart. Shows in the mountains have
driven the elk from their refuge in
the Yellowstone part into Montana,
making their capture possible.
Last winter and the winter before
the game warden's office had many ap-
plicahons for elk, but was unable to
fill them because the weather was SO
mild the animals were not driven out
side of the park boundaries.
Anaconda and Butte are the only
towns that have made application this
season for elk. They desire four car
loads-96 head. Another application
came from Dawson county.

Deer Not Suffering.
Denying the report that the deer in
Lincoln county are in danger of star
walton on account of the severe snow
storm, State Game Warden j. L. De
Hart has returned to Helena after a
weeks trip in northwestern Montana.
While the snow has been heavy in
that section of the state" said Mr..
De Hart, there is absolutely no truth
in the report that deer are suffering.
On the contrary, there is ample food
for the animals, and they are fat and
sleek and in fine TRIM"

HIGH PRICES IN
ENGLAND TO Be
SUBJECT INQUIRY
Extraordinary Power Given
Board Of Trade to Inves-
tigate Food Scandal
of War Times

London, August 26-The British gov
Ainment has just given power to the
board of trade to deal with the food
prohteers who are taking advantage of
the war conditions to squeeze the people,
which are really revival of the old laws
designed to accomplish the same object,
which have been obsolete for more than
hundred years
There is a widespread belief in Great
Britain that the present high prices are
only partly due to the scarcity caused
by the war demand and by the lack of
shipping to carry food to this country.
An examination of the freight rates and
the wholesale prices in America and
out. Bacon and butter, for instance, both
of which are largely imported from
abroad and both of which are essential
articles of food, have more than doubled
in price since the war began and bread
also has more than doubled. In none of
these cases is the increase wholly ae-
counted for by the higher wholesale price
and the higher freight charges. In fact,
it has been openly stated by London
financial papers that a wheat ring eX-
lists in London which is Withholding sup
plies from the market and the same con-
dition is alleged to exist in the bacon
and butter trades.
TO MEET CONDITIONS
To meet these conditions the board of
trade has been given extraordinary pow
ers. Under the new regulations it is en-
powered to stop all Withholding of goods
from the market to the prejudice of ma
tional interests and to prevent any stock
of goods being held in excess of the nor
NAL requirements of the trade of the
owner. In order to carry this out the
board can demand full information as
to the ownership of any goods and in
formation to establish whether the guam
tity is in excess of the stock normally
held. If it is not satisfied it's inspectors
can enter any premises take stock of
the goods and examine the books, and if
it decides that the stock is too large or
is being held to the prejudice of the ma
tonal interest, it can order the goods
to be disposed of in such a manner and
within such time as it directs. Heavy
penalties are provided under the defense
of the realm act for a failure to obey the
boards orders
One of the most interesting features
sof these new powers is that although
they are taken under one of the most
recent acts of Parliament passed to en-
enable the state to deal with war con-
ditions. they are really a return to
the medieval laws against "regrating,"
'forestalling'' and "engrossing," all of
which were among the most serious
crimes in the middle ages in England
for that matter in England. in recent

Alabama and Absent Voting
By C. LEWIS BALES

City Attorney NJ NJ Ullman, with
Characteristic optimism, predicts that
if the next Legislature of Alabama is
on the job; which, being interpreted,
means that if that body of lawmakers
which shall assemble at Montgomery in
the year 1919, bears the stamp of the
Woodrow Wilson brand of progressive
ness, then that group of solons will
write upon the statute books law
providing for absent or proxy voting.
This measure will be enacted primari-
ly for the benefit of railroad men, com
mercial travellers and college students,
and secondarily for any citizen of Ala
bama who for any reason is away from
home or out of the voting precinct, but
within the state, on election day
Prior to 1913 proxy voting for MEM
bers of public legislative bodies, as
Congress, state Legislatures or city
councils, was not known in the United
States. Since 1918 nine states follow
ing the example of Australia New Zea-
land, Norway and the Swiss cantons
of Berne and Zurich, have adopted some
one of the three methods in the above
named foreign governments. These
nine American states are Kansas Ne

up.
CRIME OF "REGRATING"
"Regrating' meant buying and sell
ing again in the same market or with
in four miles of it. This crime is not
revived under the new order, but the
crime of "forestalling' and "engross-
ings' are both dealt with. "Forestall-
ing" means buying merchandise or
victual coming to market or making a
bargain for buying it, trying to en-
nance the price, dissuading anyone
from coming to market, or forbearing
to bring goods to market. The object
was, of course, to prevent any inter
ference with the free operation CT the
law of supply and demand in the open
market in which prices were made.
The crime of "engrossing'' meant
buying up goods in order to establish
a monopoly and it was especially heav-
lily punished when the operator dealt in
corn or food of any kind. A law against
engrossing today would interfere some
what with the operation of some of the
leading lights on the Chicago wheat
pit and on the Baltic exchange in Lon
DON
VERY OLD LAWS
All these laws were in active oper-
alton from Norman times up to the
middle of the eighteenth century. The
last recorded prosecution was that OF
John Rushey of London in 1900 for
forestalling and regrating. Rushey' S
crime was that he bought 90 quarters
of wheat at Al shillings and cold it
on the same day in the same mark ct
for 43 shillings. He was heavily fined
and he narrowly escaped the pillory.
which was one of the punishments for
the men who tried to squeeze an I'M
due profit out of the peoples food
In earlier days men were pllloried
whipped and in some cases deprived
of all their possessions as a punish
ment for their greed
After 1900, however, the old laws
seem to have been allowed to lapse,
but the spectators were uneasy at
the thought of them in the background
and in 1874 they induced Parliament
to abolish the specific penalties. The
actions of ''forestalling,' "regrating
and "engrossing'' still remain crimes
under the English common law and
can be punished at the discretion OF
the judges. This is only one instance
in which England has been compelled
by the necessities of the war to go
back to the common sense of her an
cestors. The adoption of universal
military service is another. This is only
a return to the "levy in mass, which
was feature of the English system
in Saxon times, and which only disap-
Feared with the institution of the feu-
dial system by the Normans. The feu-
dal system, of course, provided uni
versal service through the barons, who
were compelled in return for their land
to provide a certain number of SOL
Giers for the King.

Peace Rumors and Probabilities.

Rumors of approach to peace in Europe have
been more numerous Of late and in spite of de-
malls they persist Maybe it is because Of the
nature Of the denials, which generally take the
form OF broad statements of obviously impossible
terms on which one or the other of the beiliger
ents will consider settlement. 1t is quite within
the range OF reason, too, that these rumors may
be emanatng from sources known TO diplomats
who would sound in advance sentiment before
coming out into the open with their plans One
significant feature OF the latest crop is that Ger
many is reported to have admitted that the
United States has not forfeited eligibility as
mediator The remark of the president in the
course Of his Meckenburg address at Charlotte
may have been a chance reference TO the stua-
ton, but il has set the world TO wondering 4
The United States ought to lead the way to
peace when ii can be done. The profer Of good
Offices made at the outset is still open to the bel
ligerents, and beyond this our government cannot
go with propriety. Many ways are open along
which approach to peace is possible, but the in
itiatiye rests with the powers at war They will
find the rest of the world quite ready to assist
in readjusting affairs when they are ready to end
the struggle, However, the peace rumor doesn't
seem to have reached the probability stage as yet
