George NJ. Monahan of Park Coun-
ty, wa born in Butte, Montana, and
received his education in the public
schools and high school in that city.
He also attended the Blackjack Col
lege in Dublin. He is a member OF
organized labor for the past 70 years,
being employed as a locomotive en-
gineer by the Northern Pacific Rail
road. At present he is chairman OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen of Livingston.
Served as a member of the House IN
the oath and 25th sessions. Elected
speaker protein of the 25th session.
AFTER serving two sessions in the
Legislature, I am particularly i'm
pressed with the negative results
obtained. I attribute this situation
to the fact that some 500 bills are
dumped into the legislative hopper
each session. This excessive num-
Der of bills makes it physically i'm
possible for the members to even
consider the titles, to say nothing OF
the contents of the bills. Is it any
wonder we get negative result:
when the session is over?
II would suggest that each mem.
Der of the Legislature limit himself
to the introduction of n worthy
measure, study it so al to be in posi-
ton to argue its passage through th'
House, follow its progress through
the Senate, and if necessary to thu
Governors office to e that it i
signed.
"Such a plan in my opinion woul'
eliminate the legislative jam, ant
attendant results, that take place i
the closing days Of the session, an,
thereby insure the passage of NOR
beneficial legislation as far as tn
people of the state are concerned.

The enactment of the Walsh-H ealey Bill

Born in Great Falls, Montana,
June 20, 1912. Raised on homestead
on Sun River bench and in Neihart,
Montana. Received his education in

a House joint memorial requesting
Congress to enact the 30-hour week.
Mr.. Mcleod says in part.
Il feel that the most important
things for the enactment of farm
labor legislation is a change in the
actions and methods of the as
sembled body. Last session there
were Alb House bills, 1876 Senate
bills, and 40 resolutions and mem
orials to act on in six weeks time.
Yet the public will criticize for mis-
takes made. The peculiar part is
that most of the farm and labor
measures are always the ones to be
caught in the last minute jam and
killed. Even the most outstanding
progressive cannot be expected tc
know everything from sheep herd
ing to banking. Possibly a gooo
innovation would be to have al

the History section of the Women S
Ten Thousand club at their meet
ing Monday afternoon in the club
Professor Eaton has spent much
time working with scientists in
research and archaeological work in
Mexico He said that up until 25
years ago almost nothing was known
of the races of Mexico. including
the Mayas Toltecs, and Aztecs.
While working with the scien-
lists, Professor Eaton assisted in
deciphering an Aztec manuscript,
thus proving to himself that the
race was not of the Mon
golian race as was formerly be-
lieved.
The pyramids, between 10000 and
10000 years Old, are made of care
fully made blocks of mud and they
are built similar to the pyramids of
Egypt However, they were used
as a place of worship and not as
tomb for a king as in Egypt.
The Mayan civilization prevailed
when the Greek civilization was at
its peak and the Toltec ana Roman
civilizations ran concurrently. The
Aztecs came much later and were
wiped out by the Spaniards in the
early part of the 10Th century.
Preceding Professor Eaton's en-
Tightening talk, Mrs. Fred Harder,
section chairman introduced Mrs.
C. H. Leger who gave an inter-
pretive dance on the Incas of South
America. Mrs. Leger was dressed
in beautiful costume representa-
tive of the Inca civilization.
At the business meeting, two new
members. Mrs. j. A. Pique and Mrs.
Clifford l.. Mclaughlin, were well
coined into the section.
Hostesses for the next meeting
will be Mrs. E. j. Mack and Mrs.
P. N. Van Slyck.
Following the program, tea was
served The table was beautifully
decorated in patriotic theme in
honor of Washington's birthday.
The centerpiece was made of red,
white and blue sweet peas, arrang-
ed in banks of each color. Red and
blue silk ribbons on the white
