HARMONY PLEA MADE
At LEGION Meeting
George Washington Post Receives
Painting Of Chrysanthemum
Named for Gen. Pershing.

In an effort to smooth over the con-
troversy that originated at the Dis
trict convention of the American Lee
gion Monday night, Past Post Com
mander and Past Department Com
mander T.. Lester Jones made a
strong plea for harmony at the meet
ing of George Washington Post, No.
]. pioneer post of the American LIE.
gion. last night in the boardroom OF
the District building.
Col. Jones stated that at the con-
vention Col. James A. Drain. who
presided. gave fair opportunity for
any delegate or alternate present to
object to any point of legality over
the calling of the convention. and that
the election of all officers was made
unanimous.
I'm my opinion" Col. Jones stated.
that gave full sanction and approval.
not only to the calling of the conven-
tion. but the action in the convention
itself. Regarding the position of this
post in connection with the attitude
of another post concerning the con-
duct of one of their members. it is a
matter they alone should decide. and
we should have nothing whatsoever
to do with such matters in other
posts.
81, as delegates and alternates know
and for the benefit Of members who
don't know, was asked by the solid
delegation of George Washington Post
to make the election Of the commander
elect unanimous and pledge him our
loyal support. My statement to that
effect was carried out with everything
that, could possibly be offered by CO.
operation and good will. 1t is my opin-
ion at this time that this post should
take no further action on the matter
We have a big obligation to fill which
will require the combined efforts of our
members. and we must now and for all
time put aside all petty squabbles."
A picture OF the Gen. Pershing chrys-
anthemum. painted in oils by Clara 3.

artist. Gen. Pershing has been a mem
Der Of the post since its Incorporation,
when the post was at first named Gen.

following a vote, that the flower be
made the post flower.
The election of officers of the post
will be announced at the meeting Janu-

In compliance with eight messages
of Governor Joseph M. Dixon, there
were So bills introduced and one
memorial and n resolution, which
resulted in passage of % house bills
and six senate bills and both the
memorial and the resolution. The
special session cost $4,000 and the
assembly appropriated owe $780,
600 additional to regular session
grants.
In brief these bills included a COM
mon carrieroil pipe line act, state
loan of $4,000, 600, permission to
manufacture near beer in Montana
and lowering the "bone" dry ~restric-
lions of the prohibition law to con-
form with the provisions of the Vol
stead law permitting prescription of
intoxicating liquors under the federal
permit and license system; a new
inheritance law; submission to voters
of a constitutional amendment on
question of creation of a tax COM
mission; new method of election of
national committeeman; repair for
state capitol; new building at state
tuberculosis ~sanitarium; additional
land for farm at state school for deaf
dumb and blind; and a high tax on
cement plants.
The majority of the bills were de-
signated to correct errors discovered
in important bills passed by the
regular session. Last minute errors
we're discovered in the pipeline bills
which resulted in another bill but a
similar effort on the part of ropon-
ments of the "blue sky" law resulted
in esmasculation of this measure in
both houses and a lingering death in
the senate. Efforts to abolish district
judges In both the regular and special
sessions In the fourth and fifth
districts, we're futile and the effort to
swing Jefferson county under the
judicial wing of either Lewis and
Clark or Silver Bow county also
failed.
Errors were corrected In two bills
relating to the fiscal affairs of the
state. One was to correct the error
in the bill on registration of state
warrants drawing z per cent interest
and the other was relating to re-
q~uirements of signatures on petitions
for issuance OF bonds by cities. coun-
ties or school districts. :

was the quest for "coal oil" in those
times. People then did not think in
terms of "miles-per-gallon" and the
visible demand for petroleum prod
ucts was none too promising. This
latter fact is evidenced by the report
of DR.. G.. G. Swallow, a noted mining
engineer and g~eologist of that day,
in which the advent of electricity in
many of the larger cities was noted
as encroaching upon the field of the
kerosene lamp.
The report of DR.. Swallow is none
the less significant, and it was no
doubt on his reports that Col. Cruise
based his hope of striking oil, the
search for which was internationally
continued until the aged financier
loosed the reins of active manage
ment of his diversified enterprises
on account of failing health.

COP REINSTATED
BY COURT ORDER
MfSSOULA POLICEMAN, BUSTED
BY CITY COUNCIL, GETS JOB :
BACK ON APPEAL.
Officer Engaged in Fight With An
other Policeman and Was Held
Guilty of Unbecoming Conduct;
Council Disregarded Every Provi-
sion of Law, Says Court.

Harley H. Lease. formerly a police
man of Missoula, won his point thai
he had been unfairly ousted from OF
flee by the city council of Missoula
in an opinion handed down by the
sunreme court in which the district
court of Missoula county was reyers'
cd and an order issued for a per-
emntory writ of mandate for the city
council of Missoula to reinstate the
nolicaman. Associate Justice w. L.
Holloway wrote the opinion of the
court.
The council held that Lease was
guilty of conduct unbecoming OF an
officer. following a fight in the police
station at Missoula with another OIL
ficer.
The officer brought suit for rein
statement against Mayor H. t. VIII
kinson and Commissioners William }.
Moore and John NJ. Brechbill.
Disregarded All Rules.
Tn reviewing the case Justice Hol-
loway said:
oIf the council and the members
had planned with utmost care n de-
liberation, to disregard every pro
vision of the law applicable to the
discipline of a member OF the ponce
force they could not have succeeded
better than they did in this In
stance"
The court also held that instead
of observing the requirements, tine
council constituted itself the accuser,
trier and executioner. 1t preferred
the charges, conducted a trial ex
parte. determined the guilt of h
accused. discharged him from his
office and thereafter for the first
time. gave him notice that charges
had been preferred against him and
of what it had done"
s'The council was not without a
sense of humor," the court added, as
indicated by the concluding para
graph of the answer, "and the TACT
that the accused was informed that
he might appeal from the order of
the council discharging him, to the
same council which had already pre-
Judged his case fixed the penalty and
carried it's judgment into execution
Given No Hearing.
whether a trial before an m
partial tribunal would have resulted
in REALTORS conviction or acquittal
cannot be determined. The district
court had no authority in investigate
the charges and most of the evidence
introduced in the trial was altogether
irrelevant and immaterial. The only
issue before the court arose upon
the allegation of the relator hat he
was discharged without notice and
without a hearing. 1t fails to dis
close that the statutory require
we're complied with while the
evidence demonstrates that they
we're disregarded f~lagrantly."
The supreme court upheld the dis
trict court of Beaverhead county IN
issuing an injunction in an action
over a water right to M~ussigbrod
creek. which was brought by G. H.
Parsons and w. E. Parsons, against
H. S. Mussigbrod, Peter S. Mussig-
brod, Lidwig S. Mussigbrod, F. K.
