sign bill which takes its place in
history as the most liberal legis.
lation In protection of a nations
fighters ever known. 1t is good
enough, strong enough to be call
ed the National Ten Command
ments, and is, in effect, thus:
Thou shalt not evict, for nom
payment of rent, a soldiers de-
pendents, under penalty of $4,000
fine.
Thou shalt not cut off a soldier
life insurance because of delayed
premiums.
Thou shalt not foreclose a mort
gage on a soldiers property.
Thou shalt not take away a SOL
dier's home on which he has made
part payment.
Thou shalt not sell a soldiers
property because of his failure to
pay his taxes, national, state or
local.
Thou shalt not settle a law suit
against a soldier during his alb
sence.
If a soldier sue, the courts shall
postpone action until he can at
tend to it.
If a soldier have mine, or tim
Der or farm claim, assessments on
which are overdue, it shall be
held for him.
Honor thy soldier and thy sail
or, that thy days may be long in
in the land of liberty.
No man hath greater love than
he that offereth his life for the
worlds sake, and it is command
ed that neither lawyers, nor the
loan sharks, nor the gatherers of
tithes shall fatten on him.
Congress is content to call this
bill a civil rights bill. It's the
divine rights bill.-Washineton

Supreme Court Decides
Favors ofCOmmissiOners

Much local interest is attached
to a decision recently handed dowr
by the supreme court of the STATE
and just received in Miles City
relative to the complaints made
against country commissioner:
who have been charged with
accepting pay for work they were
not expressly authorized to per.
form for remuneration.
The law now in force as con.
strued by the supreme court is
before a public official can be re-
moved from office it must be
shown that he acted in bad faith
and with dishonest purpose.
This case holds that any viola
ton of the law relative to the re-
moval of county officials which
was in existence prior to 1917 has
been amended by the law of 1917,
so that an official cannot now be
prosecuted or removed from office
who was guilty of collecting illegal
fees under the former law.
1t will be remembered that in
certain counties of the state the
county commissioners had been
charged with collecting pay for
work done by them for the coun-
ty without the authority of law;
that is, the work was done in good
faith and was paid for, and yet the
accepting of payment was a viola
ton of the statue prior to the
session law of 1917.
The supreme court now holds
that a county commissioner cannot
now be prosecuted or removed
from office for any such violation
of law that occurred prior to Feb
ruary, 1917, and that the law now
is that in proceedings to remove
an official for collecting illegal fees
the officer can show his good
faith and his honest belief that he |
was entitled to the pay, and if he
can show these facts he is not
subject to removal. This holding
IF the supreme court places a diff
;erent aspect on the status
If county officials against whom
such charges have been made
