Riot Liability Bill SD SIS

Here's another good piece of legis-
lation-for the vested interests of the
state-and maybe you don't think the
grey-headed gents from the 9th floor
didn't tend this with all the care a
mother expends on a newborn babe.
First the senate passed it by a 43
to vote, and then, when it came I'D
for third reading Wednesday in the
house, as was to be expected. it went
over big-52-34.
Under terms of this carefully drawn
bill there'H be no more riots in Butte
or any other city-whether they be
put up" jobs, the outgrowth of a
football game, or the morning after
result of north of Ireland" trick
on March II est. Patrick's Day). with
out the mayor, sheriff or police off
GERS being PERSONALLY liable for
all resultant damages Unless the
governor vetos this revolutionary
measure which completely departs
from all concepts of common law.
Montana will have once again .pio-
neered' in passing enlightened" leg
islation.
