THE CALL OF
IMPERATIVE DUTY

Montana cannot neglect the education of
her youth, or shirk responsibility in the proper
care of the unfortunates and the delinquents
placed in her charge. 1t is this thought that
rings through every one of the resolutions pass
ed by the innumerable state organizations in
favor Of Referendum Measures 33 and "a.
The organization endorsing the measures
include the State Federation of Women's clubs,
the State Press association, State Federation OF
Labor and many state and county groups of
businessmen, farmers and others. All express
the thought that this state like all others, must
carry out its obligations.
They point out that intolerable conditions
of over-crowding exist at such institutions as
the State hospital for the insane, State Prison,
State Orphans home, State Industrial school,
and others and that the S $4,000, 900 bond issue
which will be authorized by the passage Of Ref
erendum 80 will make it possible for the legis-
lature to catch up on some of the long neglected
repairs, requirements and needed additions at
state institutions. They point out too, that the
state no longer can put off remedying these con-
ditions.
Equally serious are the conditions which
make necessary Referendum "a for a renewal
Of state support for the higher educational in
stitutions. according to the Montana organic
atiOns. They point out that support which has
been provided for state higher educational il
situations expires this year and that this meas
IRE will renew this support. Without Referen-
dun "a these institutions will have no assured
support after December of this year. This,
measure, because it will provide a little ad-
ditional revenue for the state at a cost of only
$124 per capita, also will make it possible to
reduce state warrant Indebtedness which now is
costing the state approximately S15O,OOO an |
nually for interest. /

THE MONTANA DINOSAURS
(From the Spokane spokesman-Reviev

IFrOnn the SPOKANE 0pOKeSman-KeVIeWJ
The discovery of dinosaur eggs in Montana will hardly give that
state an important new industry, but it will start the scientists talk
ing, and whenever that happens, a useful purpose has been served.
1t may also start scientists roopng into Montana in search of more
eggs. which will liven up the state considerably and raise its cultural
level Montana is a large state, and it will take a long time for the
egg hunters to cover the ground, SO that in the course of a few years
we may have the average Monanan conversng gHbly in terms of
paleontoogy.
The only other dinosaur egg supply in the world is in Mongolia.
Some scientists are so constituted that they would rather travel to
Mongolia for their dinosaur eggs than to get some, just as fresh, in.
the United States. Nevertheless, the seeAmerica-frst idea is by
no means dormant, and Montana can always have congress put a
high protective tariff on Monaghan eggs.
The Montana eggs are 100000 years old. At the time they
were laid dinosaurs were plentiful all over the world. A few million
years later they were extinct. The scientists, putting two and two
togther, figure that some new animal came on the scene with a vora-
cious appetite for dinosaur eggs, and ate most of the available supply
leaving only a few to reward the zeal of scientific expeditions in our.
own day and age. 1t is a plausible theory and fits either Montana
or Mongolia. l

LEoNARD's PLACE ON THE TEAM

Leonard Young, the great handshaking, railroad stopping and
public service omission and commission commissioner, spoke a little
speech, according to press reports, at a political meeting recently.
He is quoted a saying that he and three fellow campagners call
themselves the -Four Horsemen" Leonard perhaps had heard of
the -Four Horsemen' used by Knute Rockne in the backfeld Of his
famous Notre Dame football team, which ran wild over all opposition.
But it is doubtful if he knew that in the original -Four Horse
men of The Apocalypse" depicted in Blasco Ibanez' best selling book,
represented War, Famine, Pestilence and Death.
Tom Stout says he does not know which of the four Leonard
claims to stand for but suspects him If representing Pestlence.

A FINAL WORD ON "ss AND 81"

A vote for Referendum Measures 80 and "a is not a vote for
any political party or faction, o any private interest, large or small,
Or any one part of Montana, but a vote for the whole of OUR STATE
in a time of need-a time, indeed, of necessity. To adopt these
measures is a matter of stern duty To vote them down will not
have the effect of lessening taxes but will force the legislature to pass
laws that will provide funds for the state institutions in other ways
which will be likely to cost the citizens of the state much more than
the carefully planned measures SO and "a low before the voters.

SCHMIDT IDEAL FOR THE OFFICE

Frank A. Schmidt is making splendid progress in his campaign
for clerk and recorder of Roosevelt county. With a record in both
business and private life of being clean, fair, honorable and loyal
as well as thoroughly competent for the office to which he aspires,
he is recognized as an ideal man for the position.
The opposition to A. S. Hier, the retiring clerk and recorder, was
so eminenuy unjust and uncaled for, after his good record in the
office a al appontees that it led to strong popular demand for a indie
pendent candidate. 1t is estimated that Frank Schmidt will receive rs
per cent of the votes in this end of the county.

if wall was for the protection OF

said some of the most highly pro.
tected industries paid the poorest
wages. He showed that the labor
cost in the production of many
articles was so small, because of
modern machinery, as to be neg

Wheeler was much too lengthy to
