WEBB-KENYON LAW GOOD
Supreme Court Sweepingly
Upholds Statute; No Local
Significance

Washington, Jan. Sin the most
sweeping of all decisions upholding
prohibition laws, the supreme court to-
day upheld as constitutional and valid
the bb-Kenyon law permitting pro-
hibition Of shipments of liquor from
"wet' to dry" states. 1t also sus-
tanned West Virgina's recent amend
ment to her law prohibiting importa-
tion in interstate commerce of liauor
for personal use
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitutional
and having been re-passed by congress
over his veto, the law was sustained by
the supreme court by vote of 7 to ..
Leaders of the prohibition movement
declare the decision is to their fight
second only in importance to the pro-
posed constitutional amendment.
Lawyers for liquor interests who
heard the decision today admitted it
upheld and applied the law "in it's
fullest sense"
Chief Justice White announced the
majority opinion, to which Justices
Holmes and Vandevcnter dissented.
Justice McReynolds. while agreeing
with the ajority decision, did not con-
cur in the opinion.

PEOPLE SEEN
TO HA We HAD
SQUARE DEAL
Appointments Announced in House and Sen
ate At Helena Said to Be Alarming to Cop

Those prognosticators who forecast
an extremely duh session OF the legis-
lature will be forced to go out OF busi-
ness forever il their prophecies re-
ceived any considerable circulation.
The legislators of the state have al
ready given notice of sufficient radical
legislation to insure a session devoid
Of cnnui.
Representative Higgins. Mssoula, in
tho house today gave notice OF two
bills which will be sure to create a
great deal Of interest. These bills
propose Il license tax on mines and
hydro electric power companies. From
the very start these measures have
been heralded as the ones on which
the interest of the session would cen
ter along with the bills which are to
be introduced by tho. farmers providing
for terminal elevators and other legis-
laton for which they have conducted
such vigorous campaign.
Dodds, Flathcad. and Baxter. MeaA
CHER, also introduced bills with refc--
cnce to the taxing OF mines. Slim
pert, NdSCluC. To-Day introduced MS Dllt
relating to the state building or pur-
chasing an elevator at Minneapolis
and arranging for the financing Of this
proposition. Tho bill provides for tho
submission of this measure at the next
general election.

announcements of committees which
were made public today in both house
ana senate. The minute the lists were
In circulation political dopcsters began
comparing notes as TO the makeup OF
the various committees ana their ten
dcncics. 1t Is thought that the main
| fight or mining companies and water
power companies will be not to defeat
! legislation along this line entirely, but
to hold tho tax To IL minimum.
The bills dealing with the tax on

probably be referred to the committee

Helena, Jan. S.-Have the people Of
Montana at last achieved the feat of
gathering together legislature which
is not firm in the conviction that the
first consideration of all legislative
bodies is the welfare of the corporate
interests of the state. particularly
those engaged in mining and develop
ment of water power?
1t would seem that the impossible
has finally come to pass and that the
Fifteenth Legislative assembly of the
state of Montana Is to be known as
the first ono which has been prac-
tically free from company suggestion.
Speaker O'Connor of the house of
rcprcsentatives-mor power to his
name-today announced the standing
committees of the house. Rumor has
1t that these appointments are. not
what they should be, according to the
minds Of the disciples of copper and
other corporations. The committee on
committees in the senate has an
nounccd the result OF its work and
there the same condition seems to
exist.
Committees Seem Fair.
The committees seem to be what the
people have wanted so long~-thcy seem
to be fair. Reports which have every
evidence of reliability Indicate that tho
corporations are considerably per
turbcd, believing that the committees
are such that the people will get 8
square deal and that there Is ever,
chance of passing at this session tn,
bills which win provide for an eauit,
| able tax on the mining and watc1
power companies of the state. From
all appearances. this Is the most pro
| gressivc legislature in the history o
| Montana and much progressive legiS
! lation may be the result OF its dclib
erations.
ut looks good: too good to be true,
is the sentiment freely cxprcssc,
around the capital city. However
there are many firm In the belief tina
the knell of corporate domination ha
been sounded.

No Local Effect Vet.

The supreme courts decision that
the Webb Kenyon law is valid does not
affect those Missoula liquor houses,
which are said to be shipping at least
$1,000 worth of booze into Washington
daily. The law does not bar liquor
froms interstate commerce; it merely
permits states to prohibit the ship
ment of booze across their borders.
Here the effect will be felt when
Montana goes dry. Then it will be
unlawful to introduce intoxicating
liquors into the state and will, prohi-
bition leaders declare make possible
strict enforcement of the law.
II am pleased indeed to learn that
the supreme court has upheld the
Webb Kenyon law" said Rev. I. NJ.
Underwood, who was chairman of the
Missoula county prohibition organiza-
tion during the 1915 campaign. "Thc
law will make enforcement of prohi-
bition in Montana much easier. ! was
afraid the decision might be tn re-
verse. ! am glad it wasn't, for dis
missal Of the law would have been

Lansing on Stand.

Secretary Lansing of the state de-
partment also took the stand to as
sert that he had no knowledge what
ever of advance information having
been circulated regarding the peace
note. Mr.. Lansing related the physical
history of the note, how it was pre-
pared, through whose hands it passed
and of his participation in it's pre-
paration. He also told of statement
he had given in confidence to news
paper men on the morning before the
note was made public, in which he
told them to expect note at o'clock
that evening for publication Thursday
morning. He did not go into details
with the correspondents, he said, but
did say that it was not a proposal for
peace nor an offer of mediation.
The secretary further stated that he
had not given the possible effect of
the note on the stock market the least
thought, but that he had cautioned
secrecy because of the courtesy due
to the foreign nations that the COM
munication should not be published

When Representative Chiperfield,
Republican. of Illinois, sought to in

the day following it's publication, the
secretary said firmly that such ques-
tioning was going beyond the scope of
the inquiry, and was sustained by the
committee.
Lawson Starts Row.
The committees troubles with Mr..
Lawson began soon after the financier
took the stand and grew into a noisy
row. quieted only after Chairman
Henry had threatened to clear the
room of spectators and proceed in ex-
eeutive session. After declaring that
he had evidence of a leak and assert
ing that he had information from a
member of congress that cabinet Of
ficial had been a beneficiary, Lawson
flatly refused to give the names to
the committee. He announced de-
fiantly that he would give no names

regardless of consequences, and de-
clared:
You may punish me if you wish,
but will not bcsmirch the names of

liminary inquiry; my only business
here is to give information that would

tigation. This. l think, l have DONE"
Before this the witness had flown
into passion when questioned by
Representative Chiperfied about his
book. "Frenzied Finance" There were
heated exchanges, during which the
word -four flusher'' could be, heard
above the general din, which inter-

hand in Representative Chiperfield's
face asserted that he knew his rights

clerk of the house. The colloquy with
Representative Chiperfield and some
of Lawson's other remarks were ex-
plunged from the records; the eXami-

that member of the cabinet, a

He flatly refused, despite persistent ef-
forts of the committee, to reveal these

not besmirch the names of men in high
places at a preliminary inquiry and
secondly that he did not feel called
upon at this stage Of the inquiry to
give information which would permit
criminals to escape, or information to
be destroyed.
