AGENT OF SPECIAL INTERESTS DENIES
RIGHT OF THE SUPREME COURT OF
MONTANA TO STOP LEGISLATIVE SESSION

ture, that it was none of the SUI
preme Courts business how long the
legislature remained in session; even
if it remained in session until July,
he repeated, it was none of the SUI
preme Courts business, that the
courts had nc power to interfere
with the legislature, the Constitu-
ton to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Judge Angstman asked if the Su-
preme Court couldn't stop the falsi-
fication as the Supreme Court did
in Florida, but Mr.. Booth argued
that the custom had grown up in
Montana to falsify the records and
again declared it was none Of the
Supreme Courts business.
Wellington D. Rankin, attorney
for the petitioners, called attention
to the statutes making it a felony
to falsify the records and tile deci-
sions of the Court holding that the
Court was the only body that could
pass upon the constitutionality of
the acts of the legislature or the
expenditure of money by the legis-
lature. He cited decisions to show
that the members, after the sixty
days had expired, were simply a
rump legislative body, with no au-
thority under the Constitution. He
asked the counsel on the other side
how they expected the people to
respect laws that were born in il
legitimacy, passed by a band of sit
downers who only pretending
to be legislators after the sixty days
had expired. If law makers have
no respect for the Constitution, how
can you expect the people to obey
them, and especially when they have
not the dignity of laws because not
passed under the authority OF the
Constitution?
Mr.. Rankin declared that Mr..
Booth was contending for dishonest
practices in the passage of legisla-
ton and asking the Supreme Court
to approve of Justification of records,
the very Justification of which is a
felony under the statute, and would
subject to Imprisonment if prov
en-.
The practice of rushing laws
through after sixty days have ex-
pired, with many legislators having
gone home, with little or no atten-
ton and thought given to the sub
ject-matter, amidst singing, crap
shooting and similar diversions,
when many r saying goodbye and
in a don't-care spirit, is r%eprehensible
and unconstitutional.
Corporation lobbyists take ad-
vantage of the bedlam and confu-
sion. They kill laws by holding
them in conference committees or
pass laws when the opponents are
not looking, No legislation gets a
square deal.
Mr.. Spiegel and his associates are
entitled to the commentator of
everyone in Montana in their eff
forts to help the plain, everyday
citizens and in their struggle to make
the legislature abandon the illegal,
dishonest practice of classifying the
records.
Justices Angstman and Sands are
to be commended for dissenting and
taking a stand for honesty in govern
ment and unfolding the Constitu-
ton, even though the legislature de-
family and ruthlessly went ~squarely
in the teeth of the Constitution.

Things One Remembers

a, By r. M. HOfer 4
"A friend of mine has been plan
ming to build a house in the San
Francisco Bay district. Rising costs
have about discouraged him. He
writes:
"The main trouble today is that
there are not the men available to
build, and houses are standing
around half finished. that are just
worked on at intervals. The tile peo-
pie just told me they have ten Jobs
for two men and they have jumped
their wages from $12 to s14 a day"
That is rather interesting story
in a country where billions OF dol
lars are being spent for so-called
relief due to unemployment.

WHEAT TREATMENT

With the threshing of the 1881
wheat crop completed In Kent coun-
ty, farmers should turn their atten-
ito nto the selection of clean seed

wheat crop, and the treatment of the
seed for the prevention and control
of stinking smut.
II any of the dust materials are
used, seed wheat may be treated i'm
mediately after II has been threshed,
and then stored In sacks until plant
ing time this fall. One of the reas-
ons for treating seed wheat early is
to avoid the rush of this work later
on when farmers are busy preparing
their wheat ground.
For. the past several years infor-
nation on this subject of smut con-
troll in wheat has been sent each
summer to farmers In Kent county
from the office OF County Agent Rus
