THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

THE WAY YVU LOON IONIOELI Said he, how do you get that way2 That hat is quite sight; Honest can't hand you thing The way you look tonight A hats a hat, to be sure, But that pill-box on the brink Of your bean and feather-mounted Is awful-strke me pink. You used to wear the swellest lids, But now your hats arc wacky; The one you have on does nothing for you I'd jolly well call 1t tacky. Said he what's come over you? You look like you'd been in fight; That hats washout and I'd hate to tell you Just the way you look tonight.

Editor Tall Tower Topics. After reading the slams in your column about roller skating decided to give you my viewpoint about roller skating think skating Is cean wholesome fun and in the long run is even better than dancing. Some woman wrote in and said that only buns gather there. That Is not true. A fellow comes In closer contact with girl when dancing than he does skating If strange girl goes dancing at the Park no fellow will ask her to dance The crowd is not bit s0ciabe.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics:
 The current controversy regarding the innocent amusement of roller skating at the Hamilton Park Ro- erdrome could very easily be compared to the mag naminity of "Kddie Karring" in my humble estina- ton. It seems that there is very much complaining about the idea of the skates causing hicks in the sur. face of the floor which cannot exist because the wheels of the skates manufactured of substance of fibre and because of this makeup of the wheels they would not be able to do any noticeable damage to the glossy surface There no doubt that the youngsters of the city better off partakng of the pleasure of skating than to be engaged in something destructive during their moments of ideness. Regarding the procedure utilized at the present time In the art of manipulating the lower extremities about all consists of is slow walk strut crawl which does not require slippery floor to operate on a cobbestone road would suffice unlike the requirements that were in vogue when was glide waltzer. Allow me to suggest that the officials of the Park Department dismiss this unnecessary dis eusslon of the operation of the pavilion at Hamilton Park with what is very weknown as the Silent Treatment which almost always is effective.

zza CONSTITUTIONAL
Washington and the Courts
: bv MAX BERNS

What did President Washington
and Congress do when the courts
found a law unconstitutional?
In 1903 Chief Justice Marshall
rendered his famous decision on the
power OF the Courts as specified in
our Constitution. But eleven years
earlier, In 1902. Congress passed
and President Washington approved
a law providing that federal circuit
courts examine pension claims OF
wounded soldiers. Several circuit
courts (then composed OF Supreme
Court Justices) questioned the law
and the Circuit Court OF pennsyl-
vania wrote to Washington saying.
Upon due consideration. we have
been unanimously OF opinion. that
under this act. the Circuit Court
-. could not proceed !. because
the business directed by this act Ia
not of judicial nature. 1t forms no
part OF the power vested by the
Constitution In the courts OF the
United States; the Circuit Court
must consequently have proceeded
without constitutional authority"

TESTING VALIDITY OF CHAIN
STORE INITIATIVE BILL

HELENA.-A question in which ev-
cry resident of Montana is vitality inter-
ested is before the district court in Hell
ena. The evidence on both sides has
been completed and a speedy decision
is anticipated
The question is whether or not the
proposed chain store tax bill will be
submitted to vote of the electors IN
November.
The initiative measure provides the
following scale of license fees
! One store, $3.50 a year; two stores
for the second store SIS year; for the
third store SIS a year; for the fourth
store s225 year, for the fifth store
S675 a year; for the sixth store and
each additional one above six 81 900 a
year.
Exemptions and exceptions are pro-
vided covering gasoline and oil stations
and sale of petroleum products, l,im-
Der yards and grain elevators.
A suit was instituted in the district
court in Helena by William Matthews
to declare the petition invalid and pre-
vent its submission on the ballot in
November. The bill is directed against
Governor Holt and Secretary Of State
Mitchell
It was claimed that names were Sc
cured by misrepresentation and that
Secretary of State Mitchell refused to
recognize Withdrawals that were pre-
sented in a number sufficient to in
validate the bill
After the petitions asking to submit
the measure were filed with the secre-
tary of state and he had certified them
to the governor, opponents Of the pro-
posed measure submitted Withdrawals
of signatures and affidavits alleging ir
regularities. Secretary Of State Mitch
ell refused to accept the Withdrawals
on the ground that he had already GER
titled the proposal to the governor.
Matthews filed the suit to enIoln the
governor from having the measure
placed on the ballot. The hearing be-
gan August 5.
Both sides are watching with great
interest, Should the measure be ruled
off, the supporters of the measure will
seek to get it enacted into the law by
the legislature that meets in January,
according to the managers oil the cam
paign against chain stores.

Writes OF California Trip


This is part of letter written by
Margaret Clay to her grandmother Mrs.
F. B. Callow, telling of her trip to
Hollywood.
I'VE plan to go TO San Diego and
across to the Catalina Islands and sew
eral spots of interest near Hollywood
such as the famous Huntington Gal
leries and the church where Will
Rogers funeral services were held, etc.
when we came down we cut over
from Portland to the coast and followed
the coast drive all the way down. 1t
was beautiful drive and the Oregon
coast is more beautiful than the Cali
fornia coast all but for the redwood
drive. One place we stopped to see the
sea lions. They were larger than a
seal, also brown and more vicious. AT
one place, where you look down at the
sea, we saw about 300 Of them lying on
the rocks and in the water. Then we
went down $50 steps inside lower to
the sea level to caves where the sea
lions were on rocks and to see these
1900 foot caves and tunnels.
I'VE ferried across the bay to Berk-
ley and went through Oakland. From
the ferry we could see the San Quentin
state prison. Then came Moibu Beach
where all the movie stars have their
summer cottages and saw the place
where Thelma Todd was murdered
Friday night we heard Heifetz, the
great volinist 1t was certainly mar
velous. haven't time to describe the
Bowl Saturday night we went to the
Pilgrimage play, Life of Christ The
setting was on the natural hillside. The
entrance and walls to this theatre were
made of cement and were like an old
temple with no roof The play was
wonderful, the lighting perfect We
were impressed mostly with the scene
Of the Lords Supper 1t looked ex-
actly like the great painting. They have
been putting this on for ID years and
it is called Americas Oberammergau.
Sunday we went to Long Beach, and
is the ocean ever fun2 Then we went
to another beach where the ocean is
more quiet and we could swim. 1t was
where the Olympics were held and we
went sailing out there.
"Afterward we went down along the
Pike in Long Beach and viewed some
of the places wrecked by the earth
quake.

TODAY'S TAXOGRAM

In the belief that the general
public, which ultimately pays all
taxes anyway, should know what
hidden assessments it is paying
toward the cost Of government, a
growing number of manufacturers
are calling attention to the hidden
tax in the price of the products
they sell.
One of the latest to adopt this
measure is a New York laundry
which has begun to add flat two
cents charge to each bundle OF
laundry to cover unemployment
insurance and social security costs.
A nationally known bakery is con-
sidering printing on the wrapper
of each loaf of bread notice that
two cents of the purchase price of
the bread is going to pay the cost
of government.

MONTANA PUBLICITY ATTRACTS
MUCH FAVORABLE COMMENT

HELENA work which is being
done in Montana to attract the visitor,
furnish him with complete information
prior to his starting the journey and to
interest him after he arrives here is at
tracing considerable comment from all
parts of the country. One Of the re-
cent contributors of encomiums is Har-
old B. Say, director of the travel and
information department of the state of
Oregon. In letter to Montanans, Inc
concerning its work Mr. Say said:
II have just seen some Of your fold
ers and your mimeographed sheet on
fishing, tackle etc, and want to take
this moment to drop you note saying
that I think your material is most at
tractive and that your people are doing
job that is being noticed every
where
Many hattering comments are also
being received by Montanans' Inc.
about the historic markers erected by
the highway commission. Other states
are writing in TO ask about tl,r con-
struction, cost, ETC.. and all are highly
complimentary about the interest which
these bulletins have for the traveller, as
we'll as their excellent appearance.

STUDY PROPOSED MEASURES

A candidate for the legislature over
in Washington is urging the voters to
study carefully proposed initiative
measures. He says unless the voters
inform themselves on those measures
and then vote as their judgment die
tates, there is grave danger that vi
cious and unwise acts will become law
by the votes Of an organized minority.
The same argument is good in Mon
ana. Montana voters this fall will have
lix different measures to pass on. They
hould be studied by every Montana
Joter and then voted for or against in
he November election. Failure to vote
IN proposed measure, says the Wash
