attempt to forecast the outcome of
the court proceedings about to be
instituted. The judgment of the court
will be deliberate and dispassionate
and will be based upon the rights of
the people, not upon the rights of any
one class.
We can only repeat, with even great
er emphasis, that if the validity of this
law is sustained, the merchants of
Montana will scrupulously obey every
letter of the law and every order is
sued in conformity with it's provisions.
The merchants of the state desire to
set an example of respect for the law,
no matter how burdensome and costly
it may be to them. It cannot be de-
MED, however, that they view the fu-
ture with considerable misgiving. They
have, in their judgment, ample rea-
son to doubt if rigid enforcement of
the law and strict obedience to it will
accomplish the purpose for which the
law was enacted, namely, reduction of
the cost to the consumer of the nee
essaries of life. On the contrary,

there is reason to fear that under
its operation the cost of luxuries may
be decreased while the cost of nee
%essaries may be increased. A reduc-
ton in the cost of necessaries is SEEM
ingly beyond the control of the mer-
chants.
Of farm more Importance than the
interest of the merchants is the con-
sideration of the collective welfare of
all the people of the state. We be-
lieve that laws like the one under dis
cussion constitute an unjustifiable in
vasion by the state of the field of in
dividual enterprises. No similar piece
of legislation was ever enacted by any
other state. Should the validity of
this law be upheld by the courts, the
inevitable consequence will be still
further extension of the police power
of the state until, at last, all fields of
individual endeavor will be brought un-
der the control of the state, requiring
an army of state officials to carry
on the work of supervision. In short,
to use an old metaphor, the "Ship of

LOCAL TALENTED MUSICIAN
MEMBER OF SEXTETTE

Miss Margaret Anderson, a talent
ed musician Of Glasgow, is now a men,
Der of a very clever musical company
called the Schubert Sextette, which is
connected with a lyceum urs Of
a recent entertainment put on by this
popular company, the Clarksburg
(W. Va.) Exponent has this to say:
The Schubert Sextette, the second
number of the Washington Irving
high school lyceum course, rendered
a pleasing program last night, with
a large crowd present at the high
school auditorium to enjoy the various
numbers.
The sextette is composed of Misses
Helen Burgess, Vera Keeth, Margaret
Anderson, Garnet Fackett, Able Cra-
ven and Alice Axley. Miss Burgess,
manager of the company, is a young
woman of considerable musical talent,
a gifted reader and possessed of a
graciousness of n which render
ed her a favorite with the audience.
Every number of a somewhat
lengthy program was good-nothing
tiresome, nor dull, nor above the mus
ical comprehension of the audience.
There was, however, a tendency thru
out the program to stick to classical
and semi-classical compositions, but
nothing of a too ponderous nature.
The Schubert Sextette is made up
of stringed instruments-three v%iolins,
base viol, piano and cello. Besides
their skill with these Instruments, the
young women could all sing pleasing
ly, and some of their most enjoyed
numbers we're the chorus selections.

State" is now steering a course which
will carry it upon the stormy and un-,
charted seas of socialism. It is in.
this way that the law creating the
Montana trade commission comes in
conflict with those fundamental rights
guaranteed to all the people by con-.
stitutional provisions.
We believe that the members of the
Montana trade commission will under
stand the question of fundamental
rights involved in this controversy and
will be ready to recognize the impor-.
lance of settling the question of on
stitutionality, before a law, so unpre-
cedented in it's object and so far reach
ing in its consequences, shall be put.

Trusting that frank communication
and understanding of purpose may
continue between the parties to this
dispute to the end that the rights of
all may be speedily determined, I am.

ISOLATION of merchants and others who
are interested in promoting the well
fare of the state, was organized un-
der the name: The Montana Develop
ment Association. 1t is only proper
that l should advise you that l have
been chosen as the head of this or
ganization and to inform you, in gen.
eral terms, of the purpose and policy
Of the organization.
In addition to the broad policy of
encouraging the development of the
state, the association proposes to take
steps to test in the courts the validity
of the trade commission law, being

binary session Of the Sixteenth Legis.
lative assembly.
The constitutionality of this law has
been very generally questioned. Le-
gal authorities whom we have con-
suited, are all very strongly inclined
to the opinion that the law is uncon-
stitutional. Justice requires that the
validity of this law be determined as
soon as possible. We believe that it
is the desire Of the Montana trade
commission that all doubt as to their
authority be removed without delay.
1t is only proper that / should say
that the association appreciates the
difficulties under which the Montana
trade commission has labored in ad.
ministering the law. We also recog-
nize that the members of the trade
commission have made a sincere eff.
fort to carry out the intent of the law
in accordance with their understanding
Of its provisions and that it has been
their purpose to perform their duty
as required by law.
On behalf of the mercantile inter
ests of the state, it is only fair to
add that in the event that the validity
of the law is upheld by the courts, all
merchants of the state will obey the
letter of the law and do all in their
power to help in attaining the end for
which the law was enacted.

standing prevailing legal opinions, to
