INJUNCTION STOPS
TUNE BOND VOTE

An injunction was granted by
the state supreme court in Hell
ena last week preventing a
special election June 8 on pro-
posed highway debentures.
The court, examining the Ian
guage of a 1943 legislative act
authorizing the referendum,
held it was poWerless to read
into the measure something the
words did not say. The act pur-
ported to increase the noW-ef-
fective 5-c~ents-a-gallon gasoline
tax to 6 cents per gallon. while
counsel for Burgan & Walker
had contended the act was
worded so that the state tax
might actually jump to II cents
per gallon:
-. . It seems apparent that
poorly worded, contradictory and
equivocal as the chapter is in
numerous respects, there can be
no doubt that if the act is ap-
proved by the people, the new
tax will be in addition to the
old and not in repeal and sub
stitution of it. This is practical
ly the only respect in which
the act is not ambiguous.
while it is possible for us to
guess that by this chapter the
legislature did not intend to
raise the present S cents per
gallon tax to II cents for the
next two fiscal years and 10
cents thereafter, we can find
absolutely nothing in the act
upon which to base such con-
clusion, and must therefore as
sumo that the chapter intends
just what it says 49,"

WINSOR SPEAKS
AT KIWANIS

The Rev. Gordon Winsor dis
cussed Memorial day and it's
significance at the regular We'd
nesday luncheon meeting of the
Hardin Kiwanis club Wednes-
day.
The origin of the observance
of Memorial Day was described
by the speaker. The southern
states were first to set a day
honoring the Cival war dead.
On May S, 1868, May 80 was Of
ficially designated as a national
day of commemoration.
Mr.. Winsor stated that it is
futile fol every generation to be
involved in war and predicted
that unless "a more practical
Christian way of life" is adept
ed. the world is destined for an
other dark age. He urged each
individual to think and act to-
ward a solution of world trou-
bleS. and to set an example OF
right living for the world.
He admitted that fear of
pressure groups will influence
those who represent this nation
at the postwar conference ia
BILE. but urged each individual
citizen to help create a strong
DubliS attitude which would in :
fluence public servants toward
constructive action.
In closing, Mr. Winsor said
the greatest honor the nation
can do to its war dead would
be TO reproduce their heroism
by defending the principles for
which they died.
A vocal solo by Floyd Crosby
was another number on the
program.
