DIRECT

A Champion of That Method Gives an
Illustration In Point.
To The Independent: st~t
Representative Bray, of Silver Bow
county. has introduced in the house a bill
that looks to direct legislation by the peo-
pte. The subject is a new n to most
Montanians and it is not very probable it
will receive the consideration at this SEES
sion OF the legislative assembly its i'm
portance deserves. The last issue of the
Boulder Ago contains wo columns of inter
estinR facts in regard to the benefits Of
such a law. Th writer Of the article in
the Age takes q bill now before the legisla-
direct legislation will corret az follows:
"Thers was q fair illustration of some of
the benefits which may be derived from
direct legislation given on the foo, of the
house last Monday afternoon. Mr.. Jockey
has a bill the practical effect of which ia to
prevent school trustee from paying teach
ers for the holidays given at Christmas and
othe. times. There is nothing in the bill
that says this In SO many words, and in all
the house there was no member who dis
covered the object of the bill or at least
cared to announce its object. We're all
laws required to DO submitted to the people
for their approval, that bill would never
AaV0 1VS IA flax Ia
for It's author would know that a general
discussion of its features by the people and
the press would how up the "nigRer in the
woodpile." and while the people might ap-
prove OF the idea generally they would IN
questienably say that IL was a matter which
each district could regulate for ITSELF"
This bill by Representative Jockey is
directed principally to the trustees of Hell
ena soheol district No. l. These trustees
paid tho teachers for the Christmas holi-
day of 1892, lasting one week. There were
two reasons given for that course-the first
was that whom the schools closed in June,
1892. the teachers were notified hat tho
fall term would begin Sept. s. A few days
before that time it was found necessary,
owing to repairs being completed on several
school buildings, to postpone the opening
until Sept. u. The teachers were all on
hand on the 9Th. but were not allowed to
begin until the 18th. Up to the Christmas
holidays they had not had twenty school
days in each month. Another considera-
ton was that the teachers were all expected
to attend the state teachers association
meeting at Miasoula, at an expense OF at
least S15 each. However generous school
boards may be in their dealings with in
surance agents. contractors and dealers in
supplies. il annot be truthfully said that
they are SO, as a rule. with the teachers
they employ, and as the writer in the Age
suggests. II the people Of the state could
express their opinion Of Representative
Jockeys bill it would be almost unani-
mously against 1t. now that its true intent
has been explained.
