Roland Hayes
Again Praised
By N. Y. Critics

N. Y. (C-Making his first New

Roland Hayes, tenor, won critics u
gain in recital at the Town Hall

Percival Parham. The Herald Tri-

"Mr. Hayes's voice seemed to have

Dear Mr.. Whittico;
There is no liberty if the power
of Judging be not separated
from the Legislative ard Exc
cutive opwerS".
This was said while adoption Of
our Constitution was under discus
sion.
Today this principle is attacked
and in danger, although its vital
truth is as self-evident now as then
Life tenure was assured to judges
because the founders OF this govern
ment knew that to preserve govern
ment undF lay, independence of the
judiciary is Indispensable.
The fight to protect our Supreme
Court from subordination to the Ex-
ecutive CAN BE WON. 1t requires

Weakening public opinion. have
Joined with others in organizing n
national non partisan, non political
committee to carry on this fight.
The pretense has already been cast
aside that the Presidents main pur-
pose is to cxpedit justice and vigo-
rate the judiciary. His purpose is to
revise the Constitution so that hence
forth it will mean what he wishes it
to mean. BY an act of lawless legali-
ty he would force two thirds of the
justices to chose between resigninG

Highway Commission Should
Be Commended

While it is the duty of every
newspaper to criticize and condemn
now and then, most newspapers
find much greater pleasure in CIV
ing praise for work we'll done.
Several weeks ago this newspa-
per wrote a series of front page
editorials taking the state highway
commission severely to task for
their long neglect of this district
in highway construction. Shortly
thereafter D. A. McKinnon, state
highway engineer, paid a visit to
Libby and at public meeting an
swered criticisms that had been
lodged against the commission, laid
the cards on the table and told of
the plans the commission has for
the reasonably early completion of
highway No. through this dis
trict. AT that time he outlined step
by step the program the commission
had in mind.
This newspaper has watched from
month to month the following out
of that program, In contracts let and
in actual construction. This week
there is evidence of still further
progress in the calling for bids for
the crawling and oiling OF 1929
miles on highway No. in the Lib
hy-Troy district. The bids are to
be opened November 49,
A few months ago The Western
News found it necessary to criticize
the commission for many long years
of neglect But it is now pleasure
for us to commend the members of
the state highway commission and
their chief engineer, Mr. Mckin-
non, for the faithful following out
of the program as announced, up
to the present time. We feel conf
dent this long desired highway i'm
provement is to be made. and we
hope it will never be necessary
again to turn upon the commits
sion our guns of criticism.

it was
answered

The poll emphasizes an old truth,
that a man may get more dollars
in wages but be worse off. The
final test is whether his dollar will
buy more. If cost of living goes up
too rapidly, a man is worse off with
more dollars than he was with less
wages and with lower cost of the
goods he had to buy.
A higher living cost has been in
evitable under present policies. Ev.
er increasing taxes that business
has to pay must be added to the
cost of goods. otherwise the manu-
facturer, the business man will 60
bankrupt. Restricted output, higher
wages, shorter hours. crops plowed
under, all mean that living costs
must be higher. These are the hid
den taxes that the common man
does not see but that he pays never
theless. There is no escape from
it. These costs must be paid and
they come from the mass of the
people.
IF the nation wants that sort Of
thing, it must be paid for The wis
dom of those policies is now being
tested. Whether or not they are
wise will be proven within the next
few months.
