legislative Voters League.

Editor Missoulian: I listened with
interest to most OF the speeches made
at the meeting OF the county officers
and was impressed with sentiment
there expressed for changes In the
manner OF governing counties, tax as
sessment and collection and in laws re-
garding health and schools. The de-
sire for a constitutional convention to
provide power for the legislature to
make such changes seems almost
unanimous. A great deal was said
both by speakers and members Of the
apparent reluctance OF many Of our
legislators to stand by the people In
their demand for these needed changes
In our laws. In Montana, as elsewhere.
we have the legislator controlled by. or
Under the influence Of private interests,
who though elected on his promise to
ton that "A platform is used to get In
by and not to ride on"
1t occurs to me that those OF us who
are in earnest in such matters. might
adopt the methods used In some other
states of forming a legislative voters
league, an organization Of Independent
people regardless Of party. who will
insist on representatives giving US the
things we want or suffer the conse-
quences.
The league could have branches in
each county. a platform or declaration
Of principals and invite each candidate
for the legislature to sign the same.
Those complying. at the first election,
to be Endorsed by the league and have
its support. It should have a commit
tee at Helena to keep watch OF the
members of both houses and report to
tho league after each session. The
people would thus have both the prom
Use and the record OF each member and
when election time came around again.
1t could then make Its report and rec
concentrations and It's reason for CIV
ing or Withholding its support.
Such league should be essentially
conservative and not allied with any
political party or group and I believe
that it would soon have a sphere OF
influence as that welded by the leg
islative voters leagues OF other states
would be very glAa to have YOU
open your columns for discussion Of
this matter.

In the progress of reform is
to be noted an order of the new
Tammany mayor Of New York,
Judge Hylan, commanding all city
employees to refrain from smok-
ing, reading newspapers and
wearing their hats during office
hours. We presume that this will
be followed by an order forbid
ding employees to slip out and get
a drink, to cut out profanity and
perhaps it may reach to the point
Of compelling them to do some
actual work. Judge Hylan was
wise in deciding on this program
after election, rather than before
He will find difficulty in finding
office seekers in Tammany Hall
who can fill any Of the require
lnentS.

There has been no finer drive
in war work than that of our
energetic Missoula women who
undertook to raise an allotment
of $1,000 for the Y. w. G. A. and
exceeded the limit by nearly $500.
This work was rather more diff
cult because it did not appeal 10
so large body Of people as some
other forms OF patriotic work, al
though it was very necessary and
will do a vast amount of good.
They tell us down at Washington
that Montana's flag stands at q
masthead for record breaking
patriotic effort. One of the bright
stars on the emblem is Missoula.

BAKER IS WEAK.

The dullest schoolboy in Mis-
sonla would have no difficulty in
uncovering the shallow, vague
and altogether futile rhetoric Of
Secretary Bakers statement to
the senate military committee
yesterday. 1t is string of mere
verbiage. 1t reads like fresh
mans essay rather than clean
cut, concise, air-tight reply, such
as we would expect from a cab
met minister TO the serious
charges of incompetency offered
by Senator Chamberlain. Take
this for example:
1.-THE French people had suffered.
Oh! suffered in q way that not only
our language is not adapted to de-
scribe. but our imagination cannot
conceive. Thewar Is in their coun-
try. The wolf has not only been
at their door. but he has been
gnawing for two and a half years
at their vitals. And when this I'M
successful offensive In France had
gone on there was spirit not OF
surrender, but OF fate about the
French people land this mighty
military engine which they had
seen prepared to overcome them for
40 years was at them and their
attitude was that no matter
whether every Frenchman died In
his tracks as they were willing to
do. or not. 1t was an irresistible
thing"
That slush, VIC submit, SHOULD
be no part Of such statement o
fact as the occasion demanded
Quite out of place, too, is quota
ton from the civilian editor of
magazine which the secretar,
uses as a comparison for the &C
complishments OF his department
| II was well known last autumn
that we had approximately 100,
600 men in France in August, an
it is not surprising to know tina
there are many more there nov
And we know from the draft fig
ures, we should have 1000,
600 men who can be shipped t
France, if, as the secretary say'
transportation facilities are avail
able. There, indeed, is a big "if,
with more than 100 ships tied II
in New York harbor last week fo
lack Of coal. We want to knox
from Mr.. Baker why it is neccs
sary to depend upon our allies TO
artillery, why we have no ma
chine guns, why our men at tn
environments now are unarme
and poorly clothed, why so man
Of them have died for lack
ordinary comforts. We want

Chamberlain.

Price Of Microscopes
Out Of Sioht.

At the beginning OF the war the pfsc0
of microscopes. such a. those used in
laboratory work at the State Untver-
sity, almost doubled in price. Since
that time, the cost OF the instruments
has been on a steady incline. Rscent-
" they were jumped from costly to
priceless. It Is now impossible to pur-
chase microscopes OF the better kind
in this country. The university has
tried at all the larger firms manufAc-
turing microscopes to buy new tnstru-
ments but with no success. Yesterday
a letter from Bausch & Lomb stating
that it would be impossible to fiIt tho
university's order. This Is the third
letter OF the kind that has been re-
ceiyed from similar firms. The letter
stated:
1T Is impossible for us to I'LL your
order. Our entire plant Is busy IN the
