our personal qualification. 1t was
pointed out also that the Honor Roll
aroused great deal of resentment
among the pupils, especially as there
are only limited number whose names
can appear on the Honor Roll every
six weeks. and there are an equal
number of students who work iust as
hard but miss the Honor Roll by a
point or SO.
After the general discussion the
question was voted upon by secret bal
lot and three teachers counted the
votes. The Honor Roll was abolished
by vote of Ill to So.
Mr. Wood, in conclusion, said that
this measure would hold true at least
until the end of this school year. He
said also that the old idea of school
was that it was merely a stepping stone
to life; but that it is now considered
life itself and that during the debate
it was apparent that most of the High
School pupils are ready for life by the
way they expressed their opinions and
by the thought shown in their arga-
rnents.

Montana 8-Hour LaWl
Still In Operation

Commissioner of Labor Ed O'Byrne
IN speaking recently on labor condi-
tons in Montana and on the status of
the 8-hour law, said:
i have taken up with the office of
the attorney general the question Of
carrying to the supreme court test
case to find out whether Judge Hat
terslev was right or wrong in declar-
ing the 8-hour law unconstitutional.
We found the case that he decided
could not be appealed as he had taken
1T from the jury, but we are in hopes
that case involving the same point,
which is scheduled to come up at Miles
City will give us the opportunity to
get this subject passed upon by the
state supreme court
Il feel that probably 80 per cent Of
the business people Of the state are
in favor of shorter hours Apparently
the reason that they are keeping their
stores open longer is that one or two
non conformists refuse to be bound
by the rules of the town as asked BY
the majority, and the others are COM
PEELED to meet that competition"
The fttorney generals office has
informed O'Byrne that Judge Halter
sley's decision in no way effects the en-
forcement of the law, and he wishes to
reiterate the warning he has been
issuing broadcast during his recent
tour of the state. that any future
violations, when found, will be prose-
cuted

City Council
Turns Down
New Sewer
Says Cost to Taxpayers
Would Be Too High
Suggests Alternative
MOVES FOR LOWER
WATER, LIGHT RATES

Following the public meeting Tues
day night when health matters were
discussed with a delegation of citizens
the Libby city council transacted much
other business at their regular monthly
session. The matter of municipal
ownership of the water. light and
power utilities was gone into at length
and the clerk and mayor were in
structed to obtain from the local COM
panv price on the company's plant
in this city.
Later it was brought out in the dis
cussion that several nearby cities are
obtaining substantial reductions in
water and electric rates. Whereupou
it was moved that the council make
demand on the local company for
20 per cent reduction on water and
electric rates. an elimination of the
annual sprinkling charge reduction
OF fire hvdrant rentals TO s1.OO per
month, with payment discounts re-
naming as at present
Turn Down Sewer District.
Inc sewer committee submitted an
adverse report to the petition of Louis
Baker, Jr.. and others for thu creation
OF sewer Improvement distHct. Chair
man Boyes reported tlfatS the sewer
committee was satisfied. after investi-
cation, that construction OF the desired
sewer would eost each property owner
about $500, which would be- excessive
and that it would be wiser for them @
build cess pools or scentic tanks. Also
such sewer would probably overload
the main sewer. The clerk was there
upon instructed to notify such proper
~ owners that thew would be given
80 DAYS for construction OF cess pools
or scentic tanks and removal of out
side toilets.
Clerk Veldman reported that the
project for Improvement Of the city
athletic field had been approved bv the.
WPA but that nothing could be done
on it until there are workmen avail
able who are listed on relief rolls.
The fact that number Of auto driv-
ers are running past stop signs was
brought out and Chief of Police
Harmon was instructed to enforce the
ordinance in that respect.
Because of a bad echo in the CITY
council chamber, it had been decided
to replaster the ceiling and part Of
the walls of the council room with an
acoustical plaster. Clerk Veldman told
OF an offer made by Charles johnson
whereby he would do the work and
take IN payment lots owned by the
ely across the street from the Johanson
property in west Libby, the property
having been taken by the city for non
payment of taxes: the city to pay past
due taxes on the lots amounting to
about $50 and to furnish the plaster.
1t was voted to accept the offer. Zono-
line plaster will be used to deaden the
echo.

Junior High Freshmen
Honor Roll Abolished.

Last Tuesday morning the entire
High School was called to order by the
chairman, Mr.. Hayes. The purpose Of
of points that extra curricula subjects
should count and the adjustment Of
the Honor Roll The motion was made
and seconded that a secret ballot
should be taken as to whether or not
the Honor Roll should be abolished
Before the vote was taken, Mr. Hayes
suggested that the floor be open to
general discussion of the question; and
the ensuing debate became very heated
and brought forth many good points
pro and con.
1t might be interesting to know some
of the main arguments that were given
for each respective side.
Those that favored keeping the Honor
Roll upheld their theory on the grounds
that it served as a goal or ideal TO-
ward which the pupils strived, and as
a result, if it were abolished, there
would be general lessening of en-
deavor on the part Of the students, and
1t would naturally follow that the
scholastic standing of the school would
decline. A minor argument was that
the Honor Roll kept the students in
terested in the school more than Just
grades.
The main argument of the opposing
side was that the Honor Roll should BIZ
abolished because the school was de-
feating its own end in substituting ths
Honor Roll as a goal in place Of thu
satisfaction of good grades, The Honor
Roll instills the wrong kind Of attitude
