HIGH COURT RE-
VERSES DECISIONS
NOTED BULLETIN
"SEDlTI0N" CASES

The state supreme court in deci-
sions handed down at Helena last
Monday morning. reversed the deci-
sions Of the lower court in both the
w. F. Dunn and r. h. Smith cases,
tried and found guilty last year at
Helena under the state 'sedition act" :"
and ordered the cases remanded for
new trials, according to telephone in
formation received from Helena this
Monday morning.
The cases grew out of an alleged
violation of the state scdition act
through the publication in The Bull
letin in 1918 of an editorial attack
ing individual members of the state
council of defense, for alleged efforts
of the council to suppress The Butte
Bulletin as daily newspaper.
Following convictions both of Dunn
and Smith appeals were taken to the
supreme court, alleging, among 9TH
er things, undue and great prejudice
on the part of Robert Lee Word, the
trial judge, against the demendants.

Due to the issues involved. the
cases attracted widespread attention,
not only in Montana, but throughout
the United States: The cases eman-
ated from the efforts of the coEpor-
ate interests Of the state to suppress

anti-reactionaly labor daily in Mon
tana.

various labor organizations in Butte.
which resolved that because of the
kept" nature OF the other dailieS
published in the state, lahor's side OF
various controversies was being mis-
represented in favor of the employers
and the big corporations, strenuous
efforts were made to hinder the pub.
lication of the paper.
Opposition among the corporate in
terests to The Bulletin became par
ticularly pronounced when in July,
1918, announcement was made that
The Bulletin. beginning in August.
would publish as daily newspaper.
At a special session of the state leg
islature, various laws, including =
state "sedition" statute, which was
even wider in its scope than the fed
eral laws. was enacted. 1t was under
the provisions of this law that Smith
and Dunn were arrested, charged
with ''sedition."

Seed and Feed Relief Upheld by Supreme Court
Supreme Court Holds That Election Was Valid ION Record As
Made Commissioners Must Buy and Sell Seed and
Provisions.

The State Supreme Court handed
down a decision in the See'l Bonding
Case Tuesday, holding that tlm plan
contemplated b. the She eridan County
County Board .or disposition Of $780,
900 in relief bnund:, "un'lc,,: les to
confer upon the applicant for relief
the authority to make the purchases,
determine the quality ami price and
bind the county by his judgment" !"
The court overruled i demurrer and
ordered an injunction issued against
the board restraining it and the cour-
ty clerk from proceeding with such a
plan.
The case was ;,rg,,cd before the su-
preme court last week by Attorney G..
E. Ellery of the firm Of Rabcock e.
Ellery, representing N. l.. Nelson as
a taxpayer who instituted the action
to determine the validity Of the elec-
ton. Assistant County Attorney
Cudhie represented the Commission
ers. According to reports in pre-
senting arguments Mr.. Ellery held
that the election was illegal on the
grounds that notices were ?1ov posted
in accordance with the laws, which
was admitted by Mr.. Cudh;e, who in
turn held that not WltnStandlnE all
the taxpayers had common knowledge
of the election and when it was to be
held. It appears that the case WAS a
very friendly affairs between the two
attorneys present, and the decision of
the supreme court says in part: I'VE
think on the record as made the elec-
ton was legal" Some record. No
doubt the record was made in the par

By a majority of nearly to l, the
Special election held last Saturday to
determine whether or not to allow the
County Commissioners to sell bonds
upwards to $40O,000.00 for the pur-
pose of building rEs.a and for the
purpose Of establishing I. ccuary roo1
farm, was voted down.
In nearly every precinct the vote
was cast against the issue. which
came as surprise, as many. expected
that the village vote would he cast
for bonding. Howev.:, it appears
thac even the vili::Sc people are ce-
ginning to realize chat this county
has been bonded to ITS utn,os: and
that the indebtedness already III
CARED will take many years TO re-
pay.

tired of trusting Commissioners Mat

money than is necessary, as these two
appear to be do.ng AL ir their power
to plunge the county into bankruptcy
as rapidly as they possibly can.
This is the last Of the special cleo
tions to be held this spring and it is
sincerely hoped by ALL taxpayers
that the commissioners will refrain
from calling othets for the purpose
of bonding as it is a certainty that
county bonds are MT s;,!eable 1T the
present time AMI the taxpayers lave

ton expenses up 70 this time.
Had Commissioners Matkins and
Timmons had the interests Of the TAX
payers at heart, they would have
passed the motion made by Commits
sioner Tyler several weeks ago, to re-
call the election, as it was certainty
at that time, when the seed bonds
could not be sold, that there would
not be a market for the road bonds,
should the election have passed.
But Commissioners Matkjns and
