MATTER OF DEATH IN DOUBT
Authorities Puzzled as 70 Wnethsf
Mans Being Pronounced Dead
Makes him Legally Sc

Al F. Williams. United States dis
trict attorney for Kansas. received a
letter a short time ago asking his opin-
ion as 10 the status OF a person upon
whom a death sentence has been exc
cuted, who has been legally pro.
bounced dead, but afterwards regains
Consciousness and RECEIVERS.
Th- case cited was that Of five ban
dts who were convicted of highway
robbery in the province of Cagayan,
Philippine Islands, and sentenced to
die by the old Spanish method of
strangulation. After the execution the
five bandits were placed on the floor
of a church to await funeral rites in
the morning. In the night three re
gained consciousness. Two of the
three died 'again" in a couple of days,
but one recovered, although left in a
deformed condition.
The questions asked are whether the
bandit who lived could be ~strangled
again, or, if he could not, would the
fact that he was legally pronounced
dead prevent his being tried in the
courts if he committed another crime.
Mr.. Williams wrote an opinion to the
inquiring person, declaring that he be
lieved that an order could be obtained
from the court setting aside the first
execution as having ever been per
formed and another one ordered.
His opinion was that if the bandit
we're not killed, finally, he could be
held amenable for other crimes, al
though legally he was not in existence.
"Of course" Mr.. Williams said, you
will probably find as many lawyers
and judges disagreeing with my opin-
ion as concurring."

IN POLITICS

The day Of the ebay seed and the "rube" has passed.
The farmer of today is possibly the most progressive
type of business man in the State of Montana. His grad
ual entrance into state politics has developed into a for
midable foe for the so-called big interests. The recent
primary election was a vivid demonstration of this fact.
The fight in the state was centered around Governor
Oixon's tax program and was a battle between the agri-
cultural interests and the mining and other big business
concerns of the state. Both sides to the controversy were
keen to gain control of the next legislature by nominal
ing men who would be out and out either for or against
the administration. With the line of battle well defined
the conflict waged hot and furious. Newspaper scraps
were a daily occurance among the state papers and in
some instances rather raw tactics were reSorted to in an eff
fort to put the present administration in a bad light be-
fore the voters. Admittedly the majority of the big
dailies were not in a position to take up he fight of the
farmer because of the fact that they were either owned
or controlled by the opposing forces. This had its effect
but it did not carry sufficient weight to mislead the intel
ligent voters or blind them to their own interests. When
the votes were counted the farmer and small business man
had placed in nomination a working majority in the next
state legislature and their full duty will not be completed
until these representatives and senators are elected this
fall.
The idea of placing an equitable portion of the tax
burden upon the natural resources of the state and re-
moving at least a part of the unjustly high taxes paid by
agricultural communities was defeated in the senate of
the last assembly. The program was outlined by Cover
nor Dixon but his supporters in the senate were in the
minority. This year it will be different. The admins
tration will receive the support of a majority from both
houses if the present nominees are elected and the matter
of state taxes will receive some needed revision to elevate
the burdensome load that has %hampeded the farmer in
the past.
