Act
Ruled Invalid
Attorney General Rules Anyone
Qualified To Vote May Be
County Surveyor.

A law enacted by the Montana
legislature in 1919, prescribing
the qualifications of a county
surveyor, is void, in that it at
tempts to supplement the state
constitution, Attorney General Ray
mond T. Maggie holds in an opinion
rendered County ATTORNEY Lee
Butler Farr of Richland county.
The county commissioners of
Richland county were considering
the consolidation of the offices of
county surveyor and county as
SCISSOR. The 1919 law provides
that a county surveyor must be a
professional engineer, not less
than % years old, who shall have
been in active practice of his pro-
fession for at least three years,
and who shall have had RESPONSE
BILE charge of work as principal
or assistant for at least n year.
Under its provisions graduation
from a school of engineering
would be considered equivalent to
Two years OF active practlce.

VOTE on REFERENDUM
PROGRAM
Meeting This Saturday To Discuss
Outlook for Prices of
Corn and Hogs.

A referendum for Corn-Hog
producers to determine whether
there will be an adjustment pro-
gram next year has been called
by the A.. A. A.
On Saturday, Oct. 10, a meet
ing to consider and discuss in
formation on the outlook for pric-
es of corn and hogs, and the need
for another program has been
called for Hardin by the al!ot-
menL committee of the Big Horn
County Corn-Hog Production Coz
troll association. The meeting
will be held in the court room at
1870 D. m.
Charts and graphs have been
prepared to show the trend in
production of corn and hogs and
the effect on prices. The out
look points to low prices for corn
in 1886 and cheap hogs in 1887,
unless something is done to coun-
teract the factors which deter
mine these prices. To say that
the Corn-Hog program of the past
two years is entirely responsible
for the high prices that prevail
in the corn and hog markets TO-
day is absurd. But that the pro-
gram has had a real part in
bringing nrices up to parity
where they are now cannot be
denied. To keep them there is
the next problem.
A similar discussion meeting
will be held in the Airdome at
Lodge Grass, on Tuesday. Oct. %
at 1870 O'Clock p. M. for the
corn-hog producers of Lodge
