\ 4 i The WEEKLY
49, CONSTITUTIONAL
A Time t ested Power
BY MAX BeRNS

When did our Courts first declare
acts unconstitutional?
Before the american Revolution,
the colonies were governed under
English grants and charters or con.
stitutions, and nearly 400 acts OF CO.
lonial legislatures in conflict with
these constitutions were declared
void.
Similarly, courts declared void
the acts of colonial legislatures in
conflict with colonial fundamental
laws or constitutions.
There was over century Of expe-
rience under this procedure when
the Constitutional Convention metq
Its minutes show why the delegates
favored this method against other
alternatives and why, in our Consti-
tuition article IID, they vested this
power In our courts.
The first Congress lin which sat
many delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention and the state con-
yentions that ratified our Constitu-
tion) passed and President Wash
ing signed the Federal Judiciary Act
which specifically recognizes the
power OF the Supreme Court to re-
view acts Of Congress.
In President WAshington's first
term Congress passed a pension law
which several federal circuit courts
stated wAs Ia conflict with our
Constitution. Congress thereupon
changed tho law.

that would reach every person and in
wade every home.
Under it doctor no longer could
make a night call, no matter what the
circumstance; if he performed an emer-
gency operation or set a broken bone
after his eight-hour day was completed
he would be in violation Of the law A
lawyer could not work on a brief in
the evening or merchant examine his
books. The corner grocer, the country
storekeeper, the one-man roadside fill
ing station would have to quit at the
end of eight hours. So would the drug
gist, the dairyman and the boot black,
whether he worked alone or hired help.
Even the housewife, whose day, ira
ditionally, is never DONE" would come

the dishes washed by 3 o'clock in the
afternoon to avoid breaking the law
And she couldn't do the family mend
ing in the evening, that undertaking"
would have to be performed in her
eight-hour day.
The second provision OF the proposed
amendment is no less far-reaching and
doubtless is equally wide of the pur-
pose Of its authors. They probably
intended to give the Legislature au-
thority to reduce working hours in
some particular industries as the OPEN
ing wedge in their campaign for a six
hour day. However, as in the first
sub division, the language employed
makes the provision general.
Under such an enactment, the six
hour day would have to apply to all
industries, occupations and undertake
ings," with the exception of farming
and stock-raising. 1t would affect the
same individuals as the proposed eight
hour regulation, but woulds have the
added complication Of an even shorter
day for all

Shorter Work Day Plan
Would Hit Every Citizen
Even Housewives Would Be Limited to Eight or
Possibly Six Hours Under Measure Which
Montanans Will Vote on November 3

HELENA.-The most important pro-
posal which Montana voters will pass
upon at the November election has
had the least publicity. 1t is the double
barreled plan to impose shorter work
day upon all citizens except those en-
gagged in farming and stock-raising, and
to pave the way for legislative enact
ment of six-hour day, Although its
ll-embracing scope would affect every
person in the state, there has been little
public discussion Of it, and the average
voter is only vaguely aware that it will
appear on the ballot.
The far-reaching proposition comes
before the electorate In the form of an
amendment to Section 4, Article XVIII
of the State Constitution. 1t reads as
follows.
Section A. A period Of eight hours,
shall constitute a days work in all in
dustries, occupations, undertakings and
employments, except farming and stock
raising; provided, however, that the
Legislative. Assembly may by law re-
a days work whenever in its opinion a
reduction will better promote the gen
eral welfare, but it shall have no au-
thority to increase the number of hours
constituting days work beyond that
herein provided"
Quite likely it was the intention Of
the trainers of the amendment to apply
the eight hour clause only to such
industries and businesses as employ
workers and are not covered by Mon
tana's present labor statutes But the
language used goes far beyond that
limitation. 1t would extend the regu-
lation to "all industries, occupations
undertakings and employments," save
only the two exceptions and SO apply
i to individuals in every walk Of life
1t contemplates limitation Of activity

Mr.. Hazelbaker said Montana is

The speaker referred to the state
liquor control and said, IF there is any
truth in the many charges of graft,
