Happenings at Montana's
Assembly of Legislature


HELENA. - The ancient statute
making it unlawful to drive faster
than a walk across a public bridge
is now well on the way to repeal.
The senate without debate, follow
ing al explanation, recommended
concurrence in lib ITO. This is only
one of the laws intended for repeal
in a campaign starting here with
the purpose Of Kidding the state Of
laws that have become obsolete or
silly.
Senator Meyer of Silver Bow is gain
ing the reputation of speaking on more
questions than any other member of
the assembly. His manner is %oratorical
Meyer was well advertised when he
came to the senate. In 1881, as a men,
Der of the house, he introduced more
bills, it is said, than any representative
had ever before introduced. If he made
a record, it still stands. He is showing
a similar inclination this session.
@ o
In a speech that was beautiful in
its thought and charming in it's phras-
ing, Representative Moss of Flathead
introduced to the members of the
house Mrs. w. P. Pilgeram. wife OF
Speaker Pilgeram. In conclusion Moss
presented Mrs. Pilgeram with a basket
of flowers. She replied in a vein alter
nately serious and witty. Presentation
of the speakers wife is a long estab-
lished ceremony in the house.
Representative Stimatz of Silver Bow,
the vociferous legislator invariably at
odds with the rest of his delegation
unwittingly gave a good illustration of
how to defeat ones purpose through
rash action that alienateS support. AS
a courtesy to Stimataz. Byrne Of Toole
majority floor leader. moved that the
house reconsider its vote whereby it
had killed lib SO, a siX-hour labor
measure. Nobody appeared to care
much until Stimataz demanded a call
of the house membership for the vote
Also. he demanded a roll call. The
result was that indifference or friend
illness turned to opposition. 1t was con-
elusive that Stimatz put the house into
an unfavorable mood. The answer came
when Byrne moved that consideration
of the motion be indefinitely post
poned. The motion carried with q
booming affirmative.

The psychological moment, as it usec
to be called. is an important factor ir
legislative process. There are times
when a certain maneuver will succeed
because of the prevailing temper Of
the assembly. another time when the
same maneuver will be disastrous. Some
days it seems that everything that
comes up has to meet attack. Some
other days there may be an attitude
of indifference, at least, not of genera
opposition to everything that comes
along. The sponsors Of a bill do vel
when they take advantage of the ia.

would be set up, consisting Of the

Another bill would put the work IN
der the Jurisdiction and administration
| Of the maintenance department Of the
| state highway commission. Still an
| other bill provides for a body compris-
ing the chairman of the state highway
commission, register Of motor vehicles
and the attorney general.
Although need for a state patrol is
widely recognized and in principle is
| stanchly supported, it is obvious there
are differences of opinion as to how
the matter should be handled. Such
questions as economy. political control
and police power will be injected when
the bill gets before the assembly. La
boring men are fearful lest a state
police should be the result. It is gen.
orally agreed that powers Of the patrol
men should be confined to the enforc-
ing of motor vehicle laws and reg,lla-
tons. with this possible addition-that
the patrolmen be available in such
emergencies as fire, floods OF disasters.
O o
To any bill that would reduce politi-
cal advantage or interfere with political
patronage there is a fundamental op-
position by the politically-minded legis-
lator. Ordinarily he is not so frank as
to say in debate what he really has in
mind, although in the heat Of dis
! cussion the truth may reveal itself.

TRANSFER FEDERAL PRISONERS
Men Held AT Local Jail Moved To Riverside This
Morning

Accompanied by several federal
agents, % prisoners were removed
from the county Jail this morning
and taken 10 Riverside where they
will be housed in the county Jail
there for the future. Four other
prisoners were to make the trip this
afternoon. One other too i'll to be

inspector for nine western states

ations. Other federal agents from
Los Angeles, with T. A. Eggleston,
local deputy U. S. marshal, assisted
him in the work.
When questioned as to the reason
for the move and the determination
to house no more federal prisoners
in the local county jail the federal
inspectors would give no definite
answer.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
May 81. UP)-Four persons were
known dead, at least 10 we're miss
ing, and property damage was es-
tinlated in the millions today as
this resort city mopped up after
yesterdays flood.
Still unknown was the fate of
several towns which were in the
path of the raging waters. The
flood was fed by cloudbursts which
began Wednesday night and con-
tinued through most of yesterday
All communication lines to Kio-
wa, Elbert, Eastonville and Monu-
ment were out. Fragmentary re-
ports indicated heavy property
damage and loss of life. Ebert was
reported virtually washed away,
with at least u business buildings
and several homes destroyed. Last
reports from Kiowa, given by tel
ephone operator Just before wires
to the county seat town failed, said
water stood Is feet deep in the
courthouse and the towns 1875 resi-
dents had been ordered to evacu-
ate.
Only two bodies had been re-
covered in Colorado Springs. One
was that of A. V. Cimeno, a ranch
hand who was washed from his
horse when he rode into the swirl
ing waters of Fountain creek.
Police said they had positive in
formation that a woman had been
drowned when the floods swept her
from the limb of tree, and that
a child had been drowned when
rescuers failed to pull him from a
second story window.
-Four persons were known to have
been washed from the top of a
stranded sedan.
Two others, said to be Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Philo of Colorado
Springs, were swept from the top
of their marooned coupe.
Two firemen were in city hoSpi-
tai recovering from exposure. They
spent almost three hours in the icy
water in a heroic-and successful
effort to rescue Mr.. and Mrs. H.
A. Anderson and their three child
rem, one a baby born only last
night.
Unconfirmed reports told of
other persons washed away and
officials believed the death toll
might reach 10 within Colorado
Springs proper. There was no way
to estimate possible loss of life in
the area around Kiowa and Ell

KARACHI, India, May 81. Wp) -
A devastating earthquake, demol-
ished the Quetta region in the
northwest frontier today burying
thousands Of natives and Europeans
in the ruins of a once prosperous
city and countryside.
Unofficial estimates placed the
casualties ct probably 10000 1t
will be long and difficult task to
determine the number accurately
however, since most of the victims
lie under the debris.
British and Indian troops toiled
feverishly, eXtdcating thousands of
dead and injured from the ruins of
the vanished city of 1900 inhabi-
tantS.
The fertile and beautiful district,
in the plains $500 feet above sea
level and ringed by mountains, was
a scene of utter destruction.
Camps for the injured and desti-
tute were established on the race
course and at the British residency.
The greatest loss Of life occurred
in the native quarter of the city
where the teeming population was
tranped in the ruins of flimSy shat
tered houses. The rescue work was
impeded by constantly collapsing
walls.
The dead it was officially an
nounced, included 44 white mem
bers OF the Royal Air Force.
DeSr'te the number of air force
casualties, the military station,
which is some distance from Quet-
ia City, was not demolished.
Direct communications are nom
existent. There is no way of get
ting any news from Quetta except
fragmentary reports being picked
up from the official radio, which is
confining itself to essential mes
sages concerning relief. and is not
carrying general news.

banished when it was found that

present and the railroads and

WASHINGTON. May 81. U.p)-
The NRA decision by the supreme
court deprived the national govern
ment OF control over national, So
cial and economic conditions and
relegated the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution back to
the horse and buggy days, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said today.
Speaking steadily for an hour to

since the famous Dred Scott de-
cision of pre-Civil war days.

The implications of the courts

President said.
Its implication that mining, man

President said, in 36-cent wheat
and fiye-cent cotton, among other
things.
The whole tendency in reviewing
the interstate commerce clause, he
said, has been to view it in the light
of present day civilization, but with
one swoop the court had put 1t back
to the days of 1887 when it first
was written to prevent tariff bar

SAM JAMES
SUCCUMBS To
LONG ILLNESS

News of the death yesterday af-
ternoon of Sam James, husband Of
Belle Dodge James and father Of
Mrs Fred L. Riddle, both Of El
Centro, brings sorrow to the many
who knew and loved him in this
city. Death was the result of a
long and serious illness.
Having made his home here for
the past 10 years with Mr.. and
Mrs. Riddle, Mr.. James was be-
loved by all who knew him for his
gentle and unfailing courtesy, his
fine traits of character which made
him a shining example of a true
Christian and real gentleman.
Born on March II, 1853, in Scott
county, Iowa, Mr.. James was n
years of age at the time of his
death. He was married November
IA, 1877, to Belle Dodge at her
home in Buffalo, Iowa, and last
November they celebrated their
fifty-seventh wedding anniversary,
these 81 years being marked by
true affection and devotion which
made their marriage outstanding.
Mr.. and Mrs. James had five
children, four of whom are sur
vivors: John K. James, Medford,
Ore; Mary E. Osborne, Long
Beach, Calf; Frank R. James, Bill
lings, Mont; Dorothy j. Riddle, FL
Centre. He is survived by one
brother, Henry James, of Pasadena.
Mr. James attended Grinnell COL
lege, Iowa, and during the first
years of his life was interested IN
mining and farming. In 1910 Mr..
and Mrs. James moved to Montana
because of Mrs. James health,
where they were interested in
ranching. In 1925 they came to FL
Centro and have made their home
here ever since where they have
many friends.
Mr. James was a deyout Chris
tian, having joined the Methodist
church in 1876. He was also Ma
son, joining lodge No. 221, Daven-
port, Iowa, in 1880.
Funeral services will be held
Sunday morning at 8 o'clock from
the funeral parlorS of B. E. Lem
ons, Rev. Irving T. Raab officiat-
ing. The funeral is to be a Ma
sonic one under the auspices of the
lodge.

determined methods of obtain
ing about S24,0OG,000, but members
felt they should not go beyond that
amount because they figured con-
ditions might improve and a special
session of the legislature in Janu-
ary 1896 could decide what to do
about unemployment relief for the
second half of the biennium.
Frank Y. Mclaughlin, SERA
director, told the committee last
night it would be all right for the
state to raise $24,000,000 for one
year. with the understanding that
a special session would be called to
make arrangements for 1861
funds. He also pointed out that the
government might be expected to
furnish As per cent toward institu-
tional construction work, if the
state devoted all of a proposed $12,-
100000 bond issue to purchase of
materials. The government aid
would provide skilled labor.

state may provide $24,000,00O for
direct relief, $12,00O,000 for in
stitutional construction, and re-
ceive $10000,00C from the federal
government in addition to approx
mately $96,OOOOOO Washington may
furnish for direct relief purposes
during the next fiscal year.
After that, a special election may
be necessary to determine methods
of handling the unemployment
problem for another year.
In all, the supendous sum of $142,-
900. .000 may be spent for unemploy-
ment relief, direct and indirect,
during the next year.
