SWEEPING DECISION OF FEDERAL COURT
ELIMINATES MONTANA TRADE COMMISSION

So widespread has been the interest
shown in the recent decision of Judge
George M. Bourquin in the federal
district court for Montana, relating to
the constitutionality of the law which
created the Montana Trade Commits
mission, that it has been considered
worth while to publish the decision in
full in this paper.
The decision handed down by Judge
Bourquin is considered one of the most
important handed down by a federal
for many months. The decision, in
effect, ruled that the law creating the
Montana Trade Commission, which

Dairy Department Fees.

Fees totalling $1,463 were collected
from 100 retailers, 48 creameries, so
ice cream factories, seven cheese fac
tories, IL milk plants and ITO Bah
cock testers, according to the annual
report of William H. Fluhr, state
dairy commissioner, which was sub
mitted to Governor Stewart a few
days ago.
1t is the first year of operation
for the new dairy law and Mr.. Fluhr
pointed out in his report the need of a

few changes. The law is the first
which requires a license fee from
dairy men and they have protested
strenuously against it.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-01-22

was passed as house bill No. Ia at
the special session of the legislature
last August, is unconstitutional, and a
permanent injunction was issued
against the Trade Commission, which
has the effect of eliminating that
body entirely. 1t also suspends per-
manently the order of the commission
requiring the merchants to mark in
voice prices on their goods.
Judge Bourquin held that there is
no legislative power to regulate and
fix prices of ordinary mercantile bust
ness and common vacations which are
not of public interest, and that legis-
lative power to regulate and fix prices
is limited to those defined as being of
public interest, such as public utilities,
grain storage, insurance, wages of
men in some of said utilities, perhaps
to a limited extent; and wages of
women and minors, likewise.
The law passed by the Montana
legislation, the court held, would ac-
complish a complete and permanent
reversal of the American system of
economies of business and employ
ment that has obtained since the ma
ton was founded. The decision
reached is based on the conclusion
that the Montana Trade Commission
law, or House Bill No. IA, is in VIC
lation of the Fourteenth amendment
to the United States constitution.
Judge Bourquin's decision in full
follows:
"This conventional suit to restrain
state officials from enforcement of

and momentious issue whether or not
legislative regulation of prices
in ordinary mercantile business is re-
pugnant to that clause of the Four
teenth amendment which commands
that no state shall deprive any person
of life, liberty or property without
due process of law. To this all else
is subordinate, which justifies their
disposition with brief reference. The
usual defenses of immunity of the
state from suit, of premature action,
and of adequate remedy at law are
foreclosed by familiar decisions of the
supreme court.
"At the outset defendants note that
the act is of August IL, 1919, at an
extraordinary legislative session to
meet an emergency of drouth, that
legislature included a declaration
that it is an emergency law immed-
lately necessary for public health,
peace and safety, and contend that if
It is supported by public, opinion and
prevailing morality, that these cir
,umstances validate the act as legi-
exercises of the states police
power, despite the Fourteenth amend
nent, and that they are conclusive
,pon the court and require that it
proceed but to dismiss the
"uit. The law is otherwise. Consti-
utional rights are independent of
legislative will. Public opinion and
mergency can inspire exercise of
lowers possessed by the legislature,
'ut cannot endow the latter with
lowers withheld from it by constitu-
ions adopted by the people.

tuition would be but a scrap of paper
and the peoples inalienable rights by
it guaranteed would be open to de-

true that public opinion, prevailing
morality and emergency often author
ize a legislature to legally denounce
that as a crime today which was law
full yesterday, to regulate a business
as of public interest today which was
purely private yesterday, to do that
in behalf of public welfare today
which it could not do yesterday; and
all because of changes in circum-
stances and conditions wrought bv
passing time, which bring the in
stances within the principle that gen
eric terms in constitutions and stat
utes open to include newly created
species. The limitation of the prin-
clple is that it is subject to consid-
Grafton in the light of other constitu-
tlonal and statutory terms and prin-
ciples and any conflicts are to be re-
solved in favor of the one more har-
monlous with fundamental and other
rights involved. And the police
power of the state, which is nothing
mysterious, but only another name
for the power of the people to govern
themselves, is of course, subject to
constitutional limitations. That is
what constitutions are for.

proceeding to the merits it is set
tied law that the liberty guarded by
the Fourteenth amendment is not only
freedom from bodily restraint but is
also freedom to follow any common
calling, to engage in any ordinary
business, to labor for a livelihood, to
barter, trade and sell, and that the
property protected by said amend
ment is not only things but is also the
Incidental right to enjoy, use and sell
things. Both liberty and property
and rights therein are alike all other
of persons in that they are not
absolute but are qualified, are held
and enjoyed with due respect for the
of all persons both as individ-
uals and as associates making up or
ganized society. Hence, like all per-
sons, things and rights, liberty and
property are subject to regulation by
the state. This regulation is limited
to what is reasonable, and so far as
here involved and generally speaking,
all regulations are reasonable which

MRS. HALEY IN CALIFORNIA

The following from the Des Moines Uowal Register of recent date is of in- terest to club women in Alabama:
 Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles of Los Angeles Cal, president of the General Federation of Womens clubs, which will be entertained in Des Moines in June, will meet her executive board,
 board of directors and depar tment chairmen in Omaha, January to g, in elusive. On this occasion, specific plans for the golden prairie biennial pro- gramme will be outlined by the chair man. Mrs. Littleberry J. Haley of Bir- mingham
 With this meeting in Omaha of na- tional leaders, the work of the Iowa club women hostesses will take on a new impetus. With the announcement of the programme speakers, depart ment meetings and leaders, the coming of thousands of club women to Des Moines within six months seems more real and less like dream of the Iowa director, who first suggested the pos sibility of Des Moines as the 1920 bien- nial city, and which will bring bien- nial to the middle west for the first time nj the history of the federated clubs.
 Mrs. Homer. A. Miller of this city, chairman of the biennial committee and director for Iowa, will attend the ses- sion with the local biennial board, of which Mrs. Gardner Cowles is chair man.
 Tn Mrs Haley's honor luncheon will be given at 12:S0 o'clock at Hotel Chamberlain, to which the local board invites all club women interested in the approaching biennial to attend. Reservations may be made during the week with Miss Flora Laird.
 It is not improbable that other state directors will accompany Mrs. Haley to Des Mones from Omaha where they will attend this week the mdwinter session. at which the biennial plans will be formulated.
 While in Des Moines Mrs. Haley will be the guest of Mrs. Homer Miller, di- rector for Iowa"
