among printing plants in the country,
is a gallery running down the centre.
There Is an electric elevator between this
gallery and the main floor. The height OF
the gallery is determined by the level at
which paper is fed into the cylinder

Law Is Constitutional, Accord
ing to Chairman of Zoning
Committee.
By EDWARD M. BASSETT.

In the early days of the zoning law the
question was more often asked than now
whether the zoning law was constitu-
tional. The State law as embodied in the
city charter is undoubtedly constitutional.
In it the State Legislature merely grants
to the Board of Estimate such power as
the state possesses regarding the regula-
ton of height, use and bulk of buildings.
This power Of regulation of private
property to conserve the health, safety
and general welfare of the community,
commonly called the police power. is an
inherent right OF the State.
The charter grant to the Board OF Esti-
mate docs not endeavor to state how broad
ly the Board of Estimate shall exercise
this power. but merely gives the Board the
power to exercise what right the State has
in this behalf Therefore no charge OF un-
can be leveled against the
charter provision.
We now come to the way the Board of
Estimate exercises the power granted to
it. II the Board transcends the police
power recognized by the courts, then in
that respect the ordinance is void. In any
case not the whole ordinance would be
void but merely that portion which was
an unrecognized exercise of the police
power. II in the maps and ordinance this
power is exercised arbitrarily. discrimi-
natorily or for aesthetic reasons only or
without relation to the health. safety,
morals or general welfare of the COM
munity, then in that respect the maps and
ordinance would be pronounced void by the
courts
a ne greatest care was taken, however
by the city when the zoning ordinance
was passed to seq that every provision re-
lated to the health. safety or general wei
fare OF the community. Sometimes 1t may
happen that one owner suffers tempo
rary injury for the benefit of the commu-

SAGE ESTATE AUCTION SALE
WILL BE HELD NEXT TUESDAY
Valuable Holdings of Late Fnancer To Be Offered at AbSo
lutte Sale and Proceeds Distributed Among Thirty
Six Institutions Named in VIII.

Tuesday next. January 20, in the Real
Estate Exchange Salesroom, at noon
there will be written the last chapter in
the ownership Of all the parcels of real
estate accumulated by the late Russell
Sage. The sale, to be held on that date
by Joseph p. Day, auctioneer, has been
ordered by the executors of the estate OF
the late Mrs. Margaret Olivia Slocum
Sage for the benefit of the many colleges,
charitable institutions, hospitals, &C., to
which she bequeathed the residue of her
estate.
Mrs. Sage inherited the greater part of
the fortune left by her husband at his
death. in 1906 Sc raj years prior to her
demise, on November 4, 1919, it was esti-
mated that the benefactions Of the late
Mrs. Sage to educational and charitable
institutions since 1907 had amounted to
more than $50, 900. in addition to fund
of $40. 100000 for the establishment of the
Sage Foundation for Social Betterment
in the United States. In 1912 she pur-
chased March Island, in the Gulf of Mex
leo, to be used as a home for wild birds.
Her residuary estate. which now is to be
divided among thirty-six institutions, is
|estimated to be worth more than $4,000
0Oo 1t is to be divided into fifty-two
shares, of which the Sage Foundation
VIII receive seven.
Mr.. Sage was born IN Sconondoah,
Oneida County, N. Y, the son of a
IConnecticut veteran of the War of 1872
He was a poor boy and received only a
district school education Early in life
he worked as farm hand. At the age
of fteen he was apprenticed to his older
brother, a grocer, in Troy, n. Y. In 1886
the year before he reached his majority

business with another brother. and in ls.s

MONTANA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LEAD UNION IN SIX WAYS

Public schools of Montana lead
those of all other states of the union
in six big factors of education, &C
cording to this letter received by Miss
May Trumper, state superintendent
of public instruction from DR.. Leon
ard P. Ayres, of the Russell Sage
Foundation:
Three factors, attendance, expen-
d1ture per child, and expenditures for
n~on-salary purposes, were strong in
raising the rank, while in length of
term, proportion of children in high
school, per cent of boys to girls In
nigh school and average salary per
teacher employed the states rank is
low"
Montana is first in the factors of
per cent of children of school age at
tending, days attended by each child
OF school age, expenditure per child
OF school age and in the five financial
combined.
Montana's public schools are sixth
all states in expenditure per teach
er employed and the five educational
combined, fifteenth in the
average salary per teacher employed,
23rd In proportion of children in high
school, 33rd in days schools were
kept open and 40th in per cent of
boys to girls in high school.

He served two terms in the terri
Montana. Under statehood he was
a leader in three Legislative ses-
sions. During the excitement that
marked Montana's early career in
statehood, Mr.. Toole was conspicu-
ously prominent in POLITICAL and in
public affairs. He was recognized
as an adroit organizer he was an
intrepid fighter he put the courage
of his convictions into every strug-
gle, and he had the satisfaction of
scoring an unusual number of sue
cesses. His singular good fortune
was that, when the trouble ceased
and Montana was at peace, there
was cordial recognition, by those
with whom he had clashed, of hon
orable methods and fair fighting.
First and last, through it all, MI.
Toole had, in fact, no relish for
politics Or liking whatever for pub
licity or controversy. He was glad
to escape from the arena of on
tention.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Toole as
sumed the office and duties of pres
ident of the Big B1ackfoot Milling
company, which has vast business
in connection with the operations
of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company, conferred at Missoula.
During ten years he was president
of the DAILY Bank & Trust COM
pany at Anaconda. He gave up
the responsibilities of that office,
but he continued to be an officer
and stakeholder in that bank. Then
for several years Mr.. Toole also
was engaged in railroad construc-
In spite of the routine of large
responsibilities, Mr.. Toole found
more or less leisure for things that
are most ~congenial for a man of
his mental turn. Lies higher and
better pursuits had an unfailing at
:raction for him. He was an indus
rious and discerning student of the
subjects that tend toward intellec-
ual and spiritual uplift.

Here is the homely yisage of a
hustler. He is A. A. Campbell prem
Ter newspaper subscription solicitor
of all the wide area between the prai-
ries and the coast. He can call every
out-of-town subscriber of half-a-
dozen of the leading dailies of Mon
tana, generally providing they are
of the sterner sex, by their first
name. He has a wider acquaintance
in Montana than any other man in
the state.
For a third of a century he has
been going up and down Montana,
selling circulation by individual eff
fort, for the larger state dailies.
During this long time he has met
thousands of people, and has made
most of them readers of the newspa-
per he happened to be representing
at the time. Frequently he has work
ed himself out of a job by securing
all the available subscribers, after
which there were none left for him
to sell to. He knows how to SYM
pathize with Alexander the Great.
Campbell was born in Virginia a
long time ago. As a youth he knew
General Robert E. Lee, idol of the
south. In the first flush of his young
manhood he went to Texas and be-
came a cowboy. At that time he
thought being a cowboy was about
the finest thing in the world.
He came to Montana 35 years ago
with Texas longhorns, riding a mus
tang pony all the way. The green
fields and fat pastures and kindly
folk of Montana appealed to him and
he resolved to remain here. He
punched" COWS and rode the ranges
for several years.
Then he decided to go into the
newspaper game. There was little
work for the cowboys in the winter
time, and this season of the year was
spent at Fort Benton, then
the states river metropolis. One

Toole, who became a citizen of this
state when he was IS years of age.
He was born on July 3, 1849, in
Aroostook county, Maine. The
years of his boyhood and youth
were passed in Madison, Wiscon-
sin. There he was educated, and at
the age of Is, started westward.
In Utah he engaged in mining
operations and five years later
Idaho attracted him. He won an
excellent name in the management
of mining properties and his asso-
Citations with men then engaged in
large operations in Butte resulted
in the transfer of his residence to
Montana, and in 1884 Anaconda
became his home. At once he as
sumed charge there of important
connected with the opera
tions of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing Company. During several
years he was a trusted specialist in
the exploration of mining proper
ties in Montana and elsewhere.
Marcus Days Friend
Mr.. Toole's ability in an execu-
tive way firmly established him in
the good will of those with whom
he sustained business relations. He
enjoyed the warm esteem and the
complete confidence of Marcus
then the central figure in
Montana's mining operations. He
took a place of influence
Anaconda and shared generous
" in the promotion of its munich
pal and civic affairs. He display
I'd tact and good Judgment and a
willingness to help every useful
he served unselfishly in
every good cause. His genial
rats commended him to the good
will of his townsmen. They placed
he utmost confidence in his integ-
,ity, they listened cheerfully to his
counsel; his personal worth won
heir respect.
Mr.. Toole took, during several
ears, an active share in politics.

Benton River Press. He made so
good at it that he threw his schapps
away and has never since worn them.
When Russell Harrison, son of a
former president of the United
States, came to Helena and founded
the Helena Journal, he asked to be
put in touch with the best subscrip-
ton man in the state. That is how
Campbell became associated with
him. His work was so good that the
Helena Independent stole him away
from Harrison, and what the indie
pendent did to Harrison, the Helena
Record, some Is years later, did to
the Independent. For a number of
years Campbell has been connected
with the Billings Gazette.
When the print paper shortage be-
came acute the Print Paper trust,
and we give 1t capitals because we
to pay 1t SO much money, stipu-
lated that Campbell's activities
be curtailed and that he
should be permitted to turn in only
so many new subscribers every day.
The moral of this tale is: Be the
best. Whatever your walk of life
may be, try to be first in it. In his
line Campbell is the best in all the
west.

Miss Marie Mosher, youthful Hell
ena beauty, was recently elected Col
den Glow queen of Helena in the
Commercial Club contest which was
held to elect a queen for the first
annual Golden Glow carnival, which
is to be an annual feature of early
at the capital hereafter, but
when the election was held, some
thing more than a lot of voting was
stirred up by the winsome Miss
Mosher.
At least two towns are battling vi
ciously for the honor of her former
residence. Articles have appeared in
the newspapers of each of the con-
testing towns stating that "our city
has been honored, etc." by the cleo
ton of one of "our daughters" as

The two that claim the honor of
having been instrumental in putting
the Golden Glow queen where she is
are Augusta and Clemens. Augusta
seems to have a little the best of the
argument so far. Their article was
headed Augusta Girl Honored."
Clemens broke forth with a heading
Clemens Girl to be Queen"
One of the stories reads, "Miss
Marie Mosher, daughter of Mrs.
Amelia Mosher of Clemons," and the
other n reads, miss Marie Mosher,
daughter of Mrs. Amelia Mosher,"
and then it said that Miss Mosher
was popular there at home as we'll
as in Helena. AS far as could be
learned there have been no casual
ties thus far.
