Montana Supreme Court Rules Carbon Black Law Unconstitutional
The Montana Supreme Court held chapter 125 of the 1921 law unconstitutional, finding it confiscatory and a violation of property rights. The Gas Products Company, which invested $200,000 in Fallon county near Baker, argued the regulation of natural gas used for carbon black is improper. Associate Justice Albert J. Galen noted natural gas is real property and not subject to such state regulation. The decision stems from a suit in Lewis and Clark county district court where defendant's judgment was stipulated.
