There is no room to resort to it nor is there room for any strained or subtle construction where the language of an Act is clear. Kipp v. Paul, 110 Mont. 513, 103 P.2d 675; Vaughn Ragsdale Co. v. State Board of Equalization, 109 Mont. 52, 96 P.2d 420. The retail liquor dealers' license Act is clear as to the offense committed by a licensee or his employee under the Act who sells liquor to a person under 21 years of age, and as to the penalty for such offense, and as to the jurisdiction of the offense.
MR. JUSTICE ERICKSON delivered the opinion of the court. This is a companion case to Kipp v. Paul, ante, p. 513, 103 P.2d 675, decided this day, and the allegations of the complaint are the same as in that case, except that here the defendant is a co-surety and the suit is for the co-surety's proportionate share of the amount paid by the plaintiff on the principal's obligation. Property of the defendant was attached on this complaint.
