Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the Eighth Legislative Assembly of the State of Montana's second extraordinary session, called in December 1903. The session was convened by Governor J. K. Toole in response to petitions from various groups, including organized labor, concerned about the state's industrial climate. The author provides insight into the interplay between the legislature and the Governor, and the debates over the bills brought before the assembly. These bills encompassed issues such as judicial procedures, labor regulations, and the role of corporations. The author's detailed account of the session's proceedings offers a glimpse into the political and social dynamics of Montana at the turn of the 20th century.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First Edition. 8vo. Pp. 685, index. Tan cloth, spine stamped in black, lettered in gilt. Fine. Then-Governor Dan Evans's copy, with his blindstamp to title page. Documents a remarkable session when Evans, "an exceptionally effective governor," per Shelby Scates, proposed and got the legislature to approve Washington State's environmental protection laws and passed the nation's first law legalizing a woman's right to abortion. Such was Evans' efficacy: Both laws passed in 32 days. Evans would go on to serve three terms as Washington State Governor, and one term as US Senator.
