Sixty-fiVe million dollars of
MOntana's 1925 crop has a greater
purchasing power than it would
have had at average values from
1909 to 1914. The estimate is
based on the federal governments
announcement that although the
exchange value of 80 farm pro-
ducts of last years crop averages
81 per cent of the 19O9-1914 fig
are, the purchasing power from
the sale of wheat, potatoes, wool,
butter and eggs is greater than
the value Of the 19OO-1014 dollar.
If economic conditions are not
considered, $58,OOO,OOO of the 1925
crop Of this state falls below the

PASTOR STRADDLES
STORY OF SERPENT
Charged With Heresy, He Dis,
avoWs Being Expert on
Old Testament.


Assem-, Holland. February 20
The Rev. j. G.. Geelkerken, on trial
for heresy by the general synod of
the Dutch Reformed Church. yester-
day appeared before the synod for a
verbal examination, the feature of
which was the point blank question
whether he believed the serpent of
the biblical account of the Garden of
Eden was "a real creeping creature.
The question was asked because he is
alleged to have cast doubt in ser
mon on the Genesis story of Eve and
the serpent
He replied that he believed what
is recorded in Holy Writ, although he
did not know how the term serpent
should be interpreted here. He as
serted that he believed the traditional
Calvinist Church, namely, that it was
q real animal, was quite possible. but
he also admitted that he had believed
that the serpent was a tigurative rep
resentation Of the devil.
The defendant. however declined
TO elaborate on this point. on the
ground that he was not an expert on
the Old Testament. He then demand
ed that he be fully rehabilitated in
the church and that all pastors be
given liberty of Interpretation. He
already has submitted typewriter
reply of 45 sheets to 10 questions
submitted to him on points on
dogma.
The Rev. Mr.. Geelkerken has re-
cciVed many messages of sympathy
from England, Germany and the
United States.

construction of Section Ii, 80 and As of
the Colonial Law for the Danish West
Indies Islands Of april 6, 1906, which
was continued in folce by the Act Of
Congress of March 3, 1917. but transferr-
ing the pow r of appointing certain mem
hers of the Council from ;he King of
Denmark to the Governor Of the Islands.
Section IA, as fer as germane, reads:
The Colonial Council for the Island
Of ST. CroIX shall consist of 10 mem
bers elected by popular elections. and
OF 5 members nominated by the King.
Section 80 reads:
When the popular elections are end
ed, the King will determine whom he
will nominate as Crown members of
the respective Colonial Councils, &C.
cording 10 section IA.
Should the King think proper to do
so, He may authorize the Governor to
nominate the Grow q members.
With regard to the obligations to ac-
cept nominations as Crown members,
and with regard to reasons of exemp-
ton, the same rules as for the popular
elections shall he applicable, but the
Governor shat! decide whether the rea-
sons Cf exemption are admissible, the
lISbL VI Viz pCIS'uo uOluIDdIGu, dc
cording to section 46, being, however,
reserved.
1t will thus be seen that Section IA
provides for the nomination of five men
bers Of the Council by the King. Sec
ton 80 provides that the nomination
shall be made after the popular elections
are ended, that the King may delegate
the nomination to the Governor, and also
delegate to the Governor the right to
pass upon the validity of reasons ad.
vanced by Crown nominees for declin-
ing nominations, reservipg, however, to
such nominees their rights, under Sec
ton As.
This brings US to a consideration of
Section 45, paragraph 2, which reads:
Each Colonial Council decides the
validity Of the election of its members,
as we'll as of those reasons for declin-
ing to accept an election, which a new
ly elected member might request to
have finally settled in this manner, af
ter they have been rejected according
to sections 81 and 80.
Section SO refers to excuses offered by
elective members to the Election Board
for declining election, and Section As thus
provides in effect for an appeal 10 the
Council from the rejection of such reas-
Ons by the Election Board. The line of
demarcation between elective members
and nominated members seems clearly
drawn throughout The Colonial Law and
, 1926-07-19

Section 5 of Article | of the Constitution
of the United States Each house shall
be the judge OF the elections, returns,
and qualifications Of its own members"
it is clearly evident that the Colonial
Council can judge only Of the validity
Of the election" of its members. Clearly
this does not include members who are
appointed, 1t must be borne in mind
that the rights gwen the Colonial Coun-
ellis were concessions from thee own
and it seems scarcely compatible with
the theory of lonarcbal Government that
the Council should he per gifted to judge
of the qualifications Of one nominate d by
the King, unless such authority is Gear
ly expressed. This view is strengthened
by the provisions of Section 46 that
The dismissal Of a mfmber appointed
by the King Himself can only be decided
by a Royal Resolution"
The Colonial Council of St. Croix also
urges in support Of its right to judge of
the qualifications Of nominated members,
Section 2 of the Rules of Business for the
Colonial Council of st. CroiX adopted by
the Council August 9, 1865, and approved
by The Government January 3, 1866.
This section provides an elaborate pro-
ceGure for the examination of "patents
Of election and seating of members.
but q careful reading Of the section
fails TO disclose any reference, even by
inference, to the examination Of letters
Of nomination of appointed members,
and 1t would seem incompatible with the
Executive p~rerogative to permit cleo
tive members Of the Council to pass uL-
on the qualifications of nominees Of The
Governor and place it within the power
Of such Council to arbitrarily prevent the
seating Of such nominees. There is 10
implied power in a legislative assembly
to judge Of he qualifications of its
members. That power must be eXpess-
ly conferred. Gushing Laws of Legisla-
tive Assemblies 1856 Secs. 1853, 1856.
The Colonial Law not only does not ex-
pressly confer on the Council the power
to pass on the qualifications of the APP
pointed members, but every inference
to be drawn from the Law is against
the existence of the power.
1t was apparently with the distinc-
ton between letters of nomination"
and patents of election" in mind that
the Governor in calling the Council
worded the order of business "Presenta-
ton Of letters Of appointment and exami-

| am, therefore, of the opinion that
