BOARD TO REASSESS INTER
COUNTY POWER LINES

Helena, Jan. 13.-In a decision in
the power company tax case in which
James A. Walsh was appointed as ref
cree to take testimony in the suit of
Attorney General Ford as against the
state board of equalization to compel
review of the action of the state
board in the matter of the assessment
of power companies operating within
the state, the supreme court has grant
ed writ of mandate and directed the
board of equalization to reassemble
and assess the inter county properties
of the Montana Power company, the
Great Falls Power company and the
Thompson Falls Power company in
the manner provided by law as indi-
Gated in the opinion.
In the opinion the court says it
does not intend to say the board did
not arrive at the correct valuation,
but that if it did it was by mere acci-
dent, as the proper method was not
adopted.
The court says the board has the
power to make original assessments Of
properties other than
railroad property. g.

PETITION FILED ASKING
CREATION OF DANIELS C

At meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners of Sheridan county
held this week, a petition was filed
praying for the creation of Daniels
county out of portions of Valley and
Sheridan counties. The date of hear
ing on the petitions was set for Tues
day, February 3rd, at Plentywood.
The new county is being fathered
by the people of Scobey and will prob
ably take from Valley county tier of
two or three townships from the Can
adian line on the north to the south
boundary of the proposed county,
which it is thought will be six or
twelve miles south of the reservation
line. The major portion is being ta-
ken from Sheridan county and will in
clude the territory surrounding the
towns of Scobey, Madoc, Flaxville and
possibly Whitehall.
Scobey business men are confident
of the creation of Daniels county and
are putting a united effort into the
furtherance Of their scheme.

Telegraphic information was receiv-
ed here Wednesday morning by ]. L..
Truscott that United States Federal
Judge George M. Bourquin had issued
a permanent injunction against gener-
al order No. of the state trade COM
mission, formulated to restrict prices
by requiring merchants to mark ar
ticles offered for sale both with the
invoice and the selling price. He holds
that the regulation of prices by a
state legislature is contrary to the
fourteenth amendment of the United
States constitution.
Attorney General S. c. Ford, who
is appearing in the case for the trade
commission, announced that the case
will be appealed Immediately to the
United States supreme court. A tenn
porary injunction was granted by
Judge Bourquin recently after hear
ing in Great Falls. The suit was
brought by the merchants of Montana
to test the constitutionality of the
act.
The suit involves the "grave and
momentous issue whether or not state
legislative regulation of prices in or
dinary mercantile business is repug-
nant to that clause of the fourteenth
amendment which commands that no
state shall deprive any person of life
liberty or property without due pro-
cess Of law says Judge Bourquin's
decision, and all else is subordinate to
this.
Constitutional rights are independ-
ent of legislative will, the opinion

DANCE OF AMERICAN
LEGION Was SUCCESS
Local Post of the American Legion
Was Well Supported at Dance
Wednesday Night.

A large crowd attended the first
dance given by Valley Post No. Al of
the American Legion last Wednesday
night. The appearance Of a good
share of the ex-service men in uni
form brought to mind the dances dur
ing the recent war days. All branches
the service were represented. There
were sailors, marines and soldiers.
There were infantrymen, cavalrymen,
men from the motor transport service,
medical corps, air service and nearly
every other division of the army. The
Red Cross was represented by Miss
Macie Moore and Miss Lucy Walters,
both of whom saw service in France
in the respective capacities of secre-
tary and nurse.
The grand march was led by Major
and Mrs. M. D. Hoyt and is described
as the most successful ever had in
Glasgow. The figures and formations
made by the long column were very
interesting.
Wolf Point, Nashua, Hinsdale and
the territory tributary to Glasgow
were well represented by boys in uni
form and from appearances they had
wonderful time.
From financial standpoint the af-
fair was very satisfactory, nearly 200
tickets being sold. AS the hall was
donated by the fire department and
the printing and advertising by the
local papers, the expenses were COM
paratively small. The boys are highly
pleased with the success of the dance
and are not ungrateful for the splendid
support given them.

Billings Good Host to
The Highway Boosters

The Glasgow delegation who attend
ed the Montana State Highway I'm
provement association meeting at Bill
lings on January Sth and 9th, report
a successful and enthusiastic meet
ing. Approximately 800 delegates
from practically every county in the

pose of the bill and went into detail

that public opinion and emergency

judge points out.
There is legislative power to reg

several points in North Dakota and

the value and necessity Of publicity
in acquainting the voters with the
provisions of the bill before the elec-
tion next fall.
J. A. Harader, state secretary of the
association, told of the purposes of
such a bond issue and what he con-
sidered the best manner in which to
carry out an educational campaign
for the benefit Of the public. He de-
clared it would be necessary for every
county in Montana to put the ques-
tions squarely before the public and
let the people see for themselves that
in securing it's passage, they are help
ing to put over an issue that will be
of vital interest to the welfare of both
the city and rural districts. The all
important feature, however, he declar-
ed, is neither the advantage it will be
to the city resident nor the part it
will play in bringing tourists to the
treasure state, but it is the farmer
who will derive the greatest benefit
from its passage. To the farmer it
will mean that at all times of the year,
and regardless of weather conditions,
he will be able to make his trips to
town or other points without the u.s.
ual delays, due to poor roads. 1t was
further stated that every county
should organize as separate unit
and conduct an advertising campaign
in conjunction with that carried on
by the state highway commission.
John H. Edy, chief engineer of the
state highway, gave an interesting
and instructive talk regarding the
plan of the commission for 1920. He
advised that over 600 miles of road
had been surveyed for construction
work this year. He gave an insight
of the problems confronting the COM
mission in road construction.
Probably the most interesting talks
at the gathering were by Samuel Hill
and Frank Terrace of Seattle. Sam
uel Hill announced that he had been
studying the road building problem
for 40 years and was just beginning
to understand the rudiments, told of
his work in organizing the first good
roads association in Japan, when the
only roads were paths IA inches in
width intended for the use of wheel
barrows and of his work on the west
coast. Mr.. Hill owns a 1000 acre
farm near Portland, Oregon, and has
constructed II miles of highways of
varied types which form a valuable
exhibit for road builders. Mr.. Hill
concurred in Mr.. Terraces declaration
that there must be a movement from
city to farm, and added that according
to his calculations, IS per cent of the
total population of this country now

Nearly all of the towns went solid
for it but the issue was killed in the
