SUGGESTION
Editor Muscular.

ILuIloI LMlSSOulldH.
viii you permit me through the
columns of your paper to speak my
appreciation Of your editorials regard
ing consolidation?
You are entirely right In asserting
that we have a university in Mis-
soula." You are also right in your
criticisms Of the faculty, which criti-
cisms should have included the local
board and the state board. However,
While you complain of the present
state of affairs, you fail entirely to
suggest any remedy. This quiet ad-
n 'ssion that because things have long
been wrong, it i" impossible they
should ever be right, is one of the
most fatal sources of all the trouble
and confusion in the educational work
in Montana, and more especially in
connection with our university of Mis-
soula Now may l make a suggestion,
which, l am surprised indeed you
yourself have not brought forward.
Next month the term Of a member
of tn local board expires: and be-
cause of this gentleman's very poor
service to the university (since the
day 1t was %founded); and also for his
lack of interest in that institution,
and again because of his general I'M
fitness, he Is ineligible for reappoint-
ment on the local board. Thus, YOU
see there Is an opportunity to appoint
a man on the board, who will fulfill
all the requirements-and l respect
fully suggest the name of Mr.. Bull
Higgins. To further strengthen the
faculty and give the institution the
eclat and prestige which is sadly lack
ing. permit me to offer for the con-
sideration Of the people the names
of Dougal Mccormick. Dan Heyfron.
and Jim Rhoades-with our mayor a
possible candidate for president of the
university, after June first. Then, Mr.,
Sidney j. Coffee should have a life
appointment on the state board Of ed
ucation, and, because Of his special
fitness for such work let Mr.. C. H.
Hall be made dean Of the whole bless
ed outfit!
With the faculty n boards thus
strengthened, our university need not
turn over all the engineering to Boze-
man. They might at least offer a
short course here in machinery (poli-
tical.) A small boy was asked the 9TH
er day what he wanted to be when he
is a man. He replied: "A democrat,
or God. l don't know which" If he
grows up in Missoula. there Is no
doubt about his choice.

FOR NEW INDUSTRIES.

d One Of the definite declarations of
the present administration of the Mis-
soula Chamber of Commerce, when the
new officers assumed their positions,
was that there would be made, this
year, an unusual effort to attract new
industries to this region and to extend
mediately, this campaign was taken
up. Yesterday morning, The Mis-
lSoulian announced the receipt of a let
ter by Secretary Ferguson of the
chamber, which indicated good prog
ress in the way of interesting capital
i'll the establishment of a w%ood-pre-
serving plant here. Of course, the
matter is yet a long way from final
determination, but it is good news that
there is activity in this direction.
To us ii seems that Missoula should
concern herself actively in a move
ment to extend the creamery industry
OF western Montana. The cooperative
plant at Stevensville has demonstrated
that a loyal community will give sup
port to a properly managed creamery
plant. The disbursements of tho Ste
vensville plant among the farmers
show how important his industry can
be made. There is a market for the
n1Ithtt - -, IT,, vol II, ,lapfc ill., tInt
at S~tevensville; We believe there "a
be worked up a plan to furnish a
cream supply for other plants. A cam
paign along this line would help much.
And Missoula should interest herself.
too, in seeing that the cooperative
creamery is protected in this state
from the assaults of the monopolistic
assembling houses.
There are numerous ways in which
Nissoula, through the chamber of
commerce, can help in this matter. The
Bitter Root potato might be made as
popular as the Bitter Root apple. A
market might be created for this eX-
cellent product Of ours, just by ac-
quainting the public with the quality
of the Bitter Root spud. Right at
hand and requiring little capital, there
are opportunities for widening the
market and increasing the demand for
Wes,crn-MOntana products.
Operating along these lines. the Mis-
soUla Chamber of Commerce is doing
good work this season. Support of the
work should bc general in his com
munity. We understand that the
sugar-beet proposition is to be investi-
gated again. Surely, judging from the
experience of other regions, this is
worth while.

HELP THE STUDENTS

Editor Observation-Disclosures has been
much material, both for and against
consolidation, In our paper during
the last month and considerable hard
feeling has arisen. The students have
read from many sources that the peo-
pie of Missoula love their university.
that they have always stood by it,
and that they are going to make a
Greater University right here in Mis-
soula. The students also wan a
Greater University, and in the major
lty of cases you will find that they
FAINT it at Missoula. have
been in all towns in the state that
would have any chance for the loca-
ton and I think that Missoula Is the
logical place for such a school. This
is said in the face Of the fact that my
home town is trying to have the uni
versity located there.
However, this Is not the purpose of
my letter. The people Of Missoula
n talk about their university so
much, should show their interest in
more ways han talk. Many people
VINO have lived in this city for years
nave never been on our campus many
would not know what car to take to
1t. Why is 1t that We lose money on
practically all of our athletics, debates,
and other student activities? Should
not the people of Missoula be ashamed
to admit that oftentimes the students
at the university have to borrow
money to finance their games and
athletic meets? No one can deny that
we had a good football team this year
yet on our only home game We lost
more thar a hundred dollars. They
can not say that we do not advertise
sufficiently for before every game we
nave window cards, car signs, and
newspaper announcements. Still we
DO not get the people to come. The
students at he State college at Boze-
man have no trouble to finance all of
their undertakings and they are doing
something all the time.

high. l do not think that this is true
but even II it is, do the ~townspeople
and merchants cut down their prices
for us? We always find that the cost
of books. clothing, and in fact any
thing we need is the same for US as
for anybody.
Some people say that they can't get
acquainted with the university. Is this
our fault? Every ear we have a
Charter Day program to which the
whole public is invited free Of charge.
They are provided with student
guides who show them the whole
school from all sides. The faculty and
go to a great deal of trouble
to decorate laboratories and provide
amusement for the ~townspeople at this

poor attendance that this custom may

The students whose homes are out Of
Missoula, boost this city all over the
state for you; why not do a little
boosting for us? There are a few
business men in Missoula who do ev-
erything they can for the students, but
these are exceptions. We are going to
have a basket ball game with the
Montana State college at the Varsity
tonight. It's going to be the biggest
game of the season but If the citizens
of Missoula don't support US better
han they usually do we will lose
money as we usually do.
Consolidate in a bunch down town;
put a nickel in a university car lobby;
come over and help us yell for our
men and for Missoula. Start some
wholesome mud Singing by roofing
and if you don't have a good time it
won't be our fault. Try it once any

THE REAL ISSUE.

1t Is something more than coincidence that
the great majority OF those WHO favored public
hearings in the senate on the Underwood tariff
means delay and in delay there is always hope
Apparently regarding hopeless any attempt
to defeat the Underwood bill on the Anal ballot
1T Is not unnatural that those who oppose its
passage should favor any means in which lies de-
ICY. The Hartford Courant is one of those who
have been fighting for more talk before action
and needless to note the Hartford Courant op
poses action.
Naturally however. some other reason than
the desire for delay is given for favoring
hearings a question which has been heard"
for year after year and administration after
administration, until the voters Of the country
replaced the party which loved hearings so we'll
with the party which has promised decisive
action. THE main advantage of public hearings

portance," says the Courant, sis that it enables
every reader Of the newspapers to know with
some detail all that may be said for and against
the proposed changes"
How many readers of the newspapers do not
now know with some detail all the reasons for
and against the proposed changes? Just exactly
ttat number which does not particularly
about knowing those reasons and no others Hear
ings have been held and they have been public

senting their claims and for stating their OBJ
jections to the various schedules. Information
or the subject has been obtainabe for 10, these
many months. and 1t is now time that this In
formation be made use Of.
The question is not so much as to the pro-
priety of public or private hearings, but as to
the value Of further extended hearings of any
kind. The fight made by the protectionists
not for public hearings so that the dear people"
could read the continued walls Of those from
whom public pap is being taken. but for public
hearings because further delay would result The

would result from the passage of the measure
