LAW PROVIDES
FOR DLSTRICTINC
OF ALL COUNTIES
Hereafter Commissioners Will
Represent Designated Por-
tions of County.

Agriculture, it is Indicated, is to
have greater representation in the
personnel of county government in
Montana henceforth. Such is the de-
clared purpose of the county commits
sioner district law approval at the
recent general election. Heretofore,
commissioners have been elected from
tn county at large, with the result
that often the entire membership
comes from one city. The new consti-
tutional amendment requires the crea-
tion of commissioner districts and as
vacancies in the board occur, the cleo
tion of the new board members to rep
resent a designated portion of the
county.
Division of their counties into COM
missioner districts will face boards of
county commissioners and district
judges in every county next year.
While the amendment will become eff
fective on proclamation by the govern
or following the state canvass of
election returns, the counties need not
make the division until May /, but
must make it as soon thereafter as
convenient or possible and within 60
days, beginning May /.
The law requires that the districts
shall be as compact and equal in popu-
lation and area as possible and it pro-
vides for the participation of district
judges in the county division. The
district represented by the commits
sioner with the least number of years
to serve is designated as district e,
the one represented by the commits
sioner next in seniority, district 2, and
the third, district 3. District boun-
diaries, says the law, may not be
changed so as to prolong the term of
any commissioner already elected.
Though, during the period of serv-
ice of the present bqard there may be
some district without direct repre-
sentation, the law provides that, wher
a new commissioner is named, he must
be resident elector of the district he
is to represent. However, the whole
county participates in his election, In
case of vacancy between elections, ap-
pointment is to be made by the district
judge.
While the law is designated to give
equal representation to all parts Of
the county. it. has been pointed out
that the district representatives are
left to fights for their share of coun-
ty activities, since no attempt is made
to apportion the amount of money
that shall be spent in each district, Oh
to apportion the county's road OF
other machinery.

MINERS REJECT
PROPOSED CUT;
CAMPS CLOSED
Musselshell and Carbon County
Vote Rejects Agreement
Over 2 TO 1.

Members in district q of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America yester-
day voted on whether to accept the
new wage agreement or not and by
their vote it was shown that over 2
to ! rejected the proposed cut in
wages.
Today none of the mines are in op-
Grafton and what the future of the
mining will be in Montana is prob
lematical All kinds Of rumors are
rife as to what will be done, but so
far we have learned of no possible
solution of the matter. 1t would
seem that it is now up to the operators
to make some proposed agreement.
The joint scale committee of coal
operators and miners of Montana
held a meeting in Billings Nov. 81 and
at that time wage agreement was
reached which was the same as that
agreed on in Wyoming, with the ex-
ception of the differential which has
always existed in favor Of the Mon
tana miners.
The agreement provided for a re-
duction of wages of $1.20 a day for
those employed OH inside work and
of $1.05 a day on wage rate for out
side employees. A reduction Of 16
cents ton for contract miners was
provided for from the different ton
mage rates at present in operation.
The vote, which was taken yester-
day between the hours Of and 6
o'clock, showed that in the Mussel-
shell and Carbon county camps 1901
miners voted against accepting the
new rates and go were willing to
adopt the cut. This gave a majority
of 522 against the new scale.
No word has been received from
the northern fields CT the state as
to what they have done in the matter.
Wyoming has adopted the new rates
in the southern part of the state, but
so far no vote has been taken in the
northern part, around Sheridan.
Red Lodge has coal enough to last
a few days only. Many people had
made no effort to fill their bins, as
it was never felt but that the proposed
agreement would be accepted.
The miners have called a meeting
of their executive committee to meet
in Billings Friday morning, and the
operators will hold meeting Of their
executive board in Billings Saturday
morning. in all probability the execu-
tive committee of the miners and the
executive board of the operators will
at this meeting decide upon a date for
a joint meeting.

SMITH HUGHES WORK
is WELL DONE IN
CARBON COUNTY

The Smith-Hughes work in Carbon
county has shown an unusual activity
since the employment of the new in
structor, c. W. Conger. He came here
as an absolute stranger, in fact, is
the second man who came to Montana
from outside the state, but in the few
months he has been here he has been
very active.
For instance, we take the report is
sued BY the Montana department of
vocational education on for the months
Of September and October, and find
that Carbon county is well up in the
lists Of activities. We list a few Of
them:
In community meetings this county
is listed as fifth; calls for assistance,
second; demonstrations, first; visits
to farms, first; town assistance, four
teenth; culling second; special poul-
try, second; newspaper articles, sew
enth; special animal husbandry,
twelfth; phone calls, eighth; letters,
ninth circulars, sixth; agricultural
meetings, tenth; marketing, third;
field trips, seventh, and for miscel-
laneous work, twelfth.
The work being done by Mr. Congel
is on par with the regular county
agent work, and he will undoubtedly
form such feeling OH the part of the
taxpayers that they will want to see
this character of work done in the
future.

new MURDER
Law UPHELD
Appeals Based on New
Act Are Denied By
Criminal Court

AUSTIN. June 6.-(P-The new
murder law enacted by the Fortieth
legislature was upheld as constitu-
tional Wednesday by the court Of
criminal appeals, against attacks OF
defendants in two homicide cases
appealed on grounds that the stat
ute's omission of the 'malic afore-
thought" clause makes it vague and
indefinite.
Overriding this contention, the
court affirmed the fifteen-year MUIR
der sentences Of Tom Crutchfield,
Dallas county. for killing his wife,
Lucy, and Bill Davis, Lamar coun-
ty. for the killing of William Terry
with an iron bar.
The appellants objected to the
fact the trial court charges based
upon the new law, which was passed
to eliminate the offense Of man
slaughter, substantially defined
murder as any voluntary homicide,
and did not require the finding OF
murder guilt to rest upon proof Of
malice aforethought."
Judge baltimore advised hat
"some reasonably accurate defini-
ton Of the word voluntarily should
be given" and also suggested defini-
ton Of malice aforethought."

An unruly surf prevented the plane
from starting Thursday afternoon.
When the government steamer Pineer
arrived al Naselai with 500 gallons
Of gasoline the work OF transporting

great was the delay that dusk found
the plane only partially fueled and
tire tide coming in.
To Take 20 Hours
It was decided that the Southern
Cross would have TO wait another
day and the plane was hauled above
the high water line and made safe
for the night.
The craft was completely fueled
today and all that remained to be
done was ~uncovering of the three
