Once again the Court of Last Re
sort in Montana is being called upor
to make decision on the constitu
tionality of Interim Committees com
posed of legislators.
In 1854 a Supreme Court decision
written by the late Justice Freebourr
said committees constituted on the
same basis as the one set up at the
1866 legislature and now before the
court were unconstitutional on six
counts. General concensus of opin-
ion after that decision was that if
Montana was going to have Interim
Committees they would have to be
accomplished by means of constitu-
tional amendment.
There was considerable discussion
after the 1854 decision among people
favoring Interim Committees about
the need for constitutional amend
ment. Yet in the face of the court
decision and the general attitude
that it would take constitutional
Amendment, the 1855 legislature
still sent through a bill that did the
same thing the 1853 law did. And,
according to Wesley Wertz, Helena
attorney arguing before the state
supreme court last week, they added
another five violations of the consti-
tuition to the BILL
There are legal arguments for and
against these Interim Committees.
On the legal arguments the supreme
court is going to have to decide.
Wesley Wertz cited IL points in
the 1855 law at variance with the
while saying it is not
necessary for the court to decide this
case on any of them. 1t seems the
court would rather not delve into
the constitutionality of a law if i
can be decided on any other legal
basis and Wertz believes the law can
be set aside by virtue of the fact the
is not included in the
title of the bill.
He said there should be no bill |
written that does not include the |
in the title and if the
court allows this bill to go through |
regardless of the intent it could be
! dangerous precedent that could !
cad to abuse of the law making pro-
esses. He pointed out that it is not
unusual for a bill to be passed pur-
'osely emitting the appropriation.

Who gets the knowledge?

Who gets the knowledge?
u men, picked by whatever party
happens TO be in the drivers seat at
any given legislative assembly.
A Montana Politburo?
What else?
In 1853 when the opposition to
any of the bills drawn by the 1851
Little Hoover Committee appeared
before the legislature they might as
well have been yelling into hurri-
cane. and don't tell me the more than
135 members who hadn't served on
the committee were any wiser than
they would have been if the commit
tee had not operated. They accepted
the word of the appointed II against
all corners.
The knowledge TO be gained by
members of a Montana Poiitburo is
available to ny other citizen inter-
ested in becoming legislator if he
wants TO get It
So many legislators screw their
halo so tight they scream with the
agony of it when anyone questions
their knowledge, and yet they admit
they can't learn everything they need
to know in so days of Legislative
assembly. / could suggest they try
and learn something of the state
and its problems before they run for
office, shame on me.
Very few people think so days is
enough time to consider all the legis-
lation that comes before the mem
bers, but at the same time year
around sessions wouldn't cure what is
wrong with most Montana sessions.
You can tell who the boys are who
dig in and work during a session.
They want time to do a better job,
not turn the job of law-making over
to a few men so they can do less
during the term.
Montana is already being run by
900 few people. What we need is a
broader democratic process, not mar
'ower. We have situation that
needs a remedy, but Interim Com
nittees won't accomplish it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

cut out the appropriation.
Another example that comes "a
mind Immediately without going "a
the law library might be the safety
codes legislation that the legislature
passed in 1851 and omitted an ap-
preparation to implement it.
That appropriations are vital por-
ton of any legislation can be con-
firmed through any department of
state government that fights tooth
and nail to get adequate financing.
The Department of Labor, created
by a constitutional amendment, has
been given only nominal funds to
maintain an office and buy postage
stamps. But no department would
be apt to question the intent of the
legislature because their appropria-
ton wasn't adequate to do the job
they are set up to do. They know only
too we'll the intent.
The point is not whether it is OBJ
vious the committee would need funds
to operate on, it is whether we can
safely let a bill go through and
operate without the appropriation be-
ing included in the title of the bill.
1t does have dangerous implications,
and you only have to watch legis-
lature operate for time or two to
really shudder over what might hap
pen.
Above and beyond all of the things
that lawyers can argue before a court
there is the philosophy behind In
term Committees that I think the
people of Montana should be thinking
about.
Justice Davis and Justice Anderson
kept pointing out, as did Luke Nc
Keen, attorney for the committee,
that Interim Committees have been
declared constitutional in "a states,
many of which have "just as anti
luated constitution as does Mon
ana"
