THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

In another column is published a letter from c.. D.. Borton
of Glasgow, a member of the state board of education, in which
he discusses a proposed constitutional amendment whereby the
the governor, the attorney general and the state superintendent
of public instruction would be eliminated as ex-officio members
of that board.
We are some distance from Helena and, of course, are not
in close touch with the boards work and functions. But we
believe the opinion of a man who has eight years service on
the board should be given serious consideration and that he
knows whereof he speaks when he urges us to vote mo- on
this amendment.
AS Judge Borton points out, the state board of education is
one of the most important in the state. We know that the
governor, the attorney general and the state superintendent of
public instruction are on the job every day, in close and init
mate contact with the boards problems. The amendment
would remove them all, leaving only the appointive members,
of whom live some distance from Helena and who meet
periodically.
On the basis of Judge Borton's long experience, we believe
that Valley county voters can well follow his advice and his
that passage of this amendment would not be a step
forward.

OF THINGS TO COME

BY now, except for a few anglophobes, it is generally &C
cepted that the British have undergone and are undergoing
hardships that we in this country probably never will expert
ence. However, it is certain that, short of actually seeing those
conditions, we will never realize the travail through which
they have passed. 1t may be well for us to examine Britain
in the light of what may be ahead for us, for certainly we must
expect to make more sacrifices than most of us have made
thus far at home.
Richard Lee Strout, correspondent for the Christian Science
Monitor, relates that in total war, in Britain, Everybody be-
comes a combatant.
The man in the street and the woman, too, ARE putting in
long extra unpaid hours for the government, as tirewatchers,
home guard, wardens, spoilers or the like"
Here in Britain a lot of things having to do with money
seem rather funny now. You don't ask the price of a good
many, common everyday things any more. You are so glad to
get them, a pair of stockings, say, a couple of eggs or an orange,
that you don't think till you are leaving the shop what they
cost In the new set of values, wealth doesn't cut much ice
by itself. Jim Reston put it best, l think, in his book, Prelude
to Victory: You can't stop a tank with a thousand-dollar bill "
what has Britain done to preserve its freedom? Well, some
25yOOOy 900 people out of a total possible working force of 33,OOOy
900 men and women are now directly connected with the war
effort, the equivalent in ratio to population of 100000 in the
United States Britain has rationed about everything in
sight my sweets ration here allows me to buy two ounces
of candy a week. equivalent to two small chocolate bars.
Pleasure driving ceased long ago, of course. Fuel is cut to a
minimum. Taxes have a bite that they are just coming to have
in America 49,.
London and the British cities are dingy. They are shabby
and uncomfortable. Wornout things don't get repaired. Some are
missing altogether, and will stay missing until the war ends.
The whole of England needs a new coat of paint. But at the
same time there is a determination and a fellow-feeling among
the people that is noticeable almost in the first hour YOU arrive "
There can be no question about the spirit and bravery of the
British people. They have set an example for us that, before
long, we will be hard put to follow. Truly, we can agree with
Elmer Davis that we are yet only ankle deep in the war.

THIS FELLOW HAYNES

We listened to a different kind of statesman the other night
a fellow who thinks clearly and says just what he thinks.
Senator Fritz Haynes of Forsyth, who was nominated for
congress in this district, stated his views at a public meeting
Friday evening. A Republican, he was not backward in saying
he had approved some o. the national administrations policies;
made greater progress economically and in the war effort.
Before the war the administration built up a bureaucracy
that is now a Frankenstein which has become the governing
force of the nation instead of its servant" he said. MANY able
men in the administration have resigned and many are consid-
ering that move because their hands are tied by the paternal-
istic monstrosties now devouring the nations resources which
should be directed toward winning the war"
Haynes said he believed the president was in error when he
charged that farm prices were leading to initiation; when, as a
matter of fact, the farm boy can go to the industrial center, pay
the fee demanded by the labor boss and in a short time make
as high as S135 or more a week without undue effort, and the
government pays the bill - plus the industrialists profit.
The price of wheat or the price of a steer is a small factor
in determining the price of a loaf of bread or a steak in New
York or Seattle. IF one does not understand the causes of
initiation he is not apt to apply the proper remedy for its pre-
venton, especially when his most loyal political followers are
more interested in their own election than in the nations well
fare" said Haynes.
Down through history" he concluded, eternal vligance has
been the price of liberty. American leadership was lacking while
determination. You can't retain your freedom if the wind is I
parting your hair on the back of your head and blowing it into
your eyes. You must face the storm and buck the tide when
danger threatens if you want to keep the freedom for which
our forefathers fought and died"
Haynes is a veteran of World War ], having resigned as il
county attorney of Rosebud county to enlist as a private in the h
army and serve several months in France. In the primary cleo Il
ton in July this year, he got 80 percent of the vote in his home k
county and carried every county in this congressional district Il
but one. In the state senate he is recognized as an able Square
shooter" with the courage of his convictons-DaneLs County q

A MORALE BUILDER

Some weeks ago, to stimulate war bond sales, the Montana
Dakota Utilities company decided to have a one-week exhibit
IN Its show window. 1t was composed of photographs of Valley
men now in the armed services. The exhibit is still
there and, as relatives or friends bring new pictures, it pre-
sents an ever-changing panorama that gives everyone in town
a thrill of pride. 1t was just impossible to close the exhibit
one week, Manager Otto Bundy says. He sounds as if
may be there for the duration. We believe that is a good
Seldom is the window without spectators. One leaves it
peculiar emotions. 1t is just about the best morale builder
in town, if we need such a thing.

SHORT CAMPAIGN EXPECTED

1t is obvious that the Montana political campaign this season
will be much shorter than the siege of Staingrad. Election is
now just three weeks away and the big guns of both parties
have barely lmbered up their oratorical barrages. Probably
this will suit most people, who have pressing personal concerns
and problems in wartime. 1t may be unfortunate from one
aspect, for certainly there is no time when we should give
more consideration to selecting the proper men for office. The
next four years will certainly be portenous ones, particularly in
state and national legislative halls. We need two qualities in
our representatives - courage and the ability to stand up for
their convictions. We need to return congress to its old and
rightful place of respect it deserves in a democracy. Even if

Letters to

TIC the Editor:

amendment to the constitution, ell,

lie instruction and n member
from the state board of education.
The reason advanced why these
members should be eliminated ano
especially the governor, as I read
the editorial, is that the governor
is a member of too many boards,
Whether he is a member of too
many boards might be fairly well
discussed. But, to eliminate these
three officials frcm the board of
education would be a very serious
handicap to that board.
AS you know, I have been a mem
Der of the board Of education for
nearly eight years. During that time
four different governors have been
upon the board, Governor Cocney.
Governor Holt, Governor Ayers and
Governor Ford. Without exception.
these men were more valuable to
the board of education than any
other two members CT the board.
They had information that no
member of the oozrd had and upou
that information me bard was
able to form Constructive Judgment.
which otherwise would have been
based on fragmentary. inaccurate.
superficial knowledge.
1t is true, there are a gocd many
of which the governor is che
member. These b,ards cover a wide
variety of administrative duties
and tasks. Some Of them do seem
TO be unimportant and insignifi-
can't and n wonders why the leg
Stature or the writers of the con-
'titution made the governor a men,
Der, but certainly the board of ed
lcaticn is not one Of these minor
'oardS in Importance. It stands on
n equal footing with the board of
HAMMERS and is one of the most
important boards of this state. If
t has not been able to function
nth all the perfection which it
ught, hat lack is attributable
lore by far to the appointed men,
erS Of the board than to those
nat r ex-officio; and, if the
card of education must be trim
led off, get rid of the appointed
lemberS rather than these three
cry valuable ex-officio members.
Out of the experience that has
to me during my membership

lat the people of Montana can
axe no greater mistake, touching
le administration of the Greater
University and the kindred sub
cts, than to remove from this

It of public instruction. If such an
