the transportation of produce. And
further he had not been prevented
from putting up his own pork.
But the agitator was both capable
and apparently experienced In this
sort of propaganda when he could do
little or nothing with these farmers,
he backed up and waited to find a
weak spot.
He did discover one thing the farm
er would criticize the government on.

his neighborhood, to prepare irriga-

Yes, the farmer replied the use of
guns had been suggested to him be-
fore but he did not believe in that.
He thought 1t all could be settled
peacefully without the use of force.
So, Mr. Agitator lost an argument
and an hour or so of good labor for
nothing.

ment What I've heard of public re-
action, I'm equally sure the forces of
opposition must have discovered the
attacks proved failure.
But then there is Henderson. He
refused to let the politicians pick the
OPA directors for the state. And
some of the senators attacking Hen
derson were from petroleum states.
Since here was a chance to do double
duty one must not overlook that as
a motive for the attack. Here was a
chance to attack a government Off
cial and to support at least one in
dustry- petroleum.
Rationing is a new venture. 1t was
set up as an emergency measure to
promote victory. Naturally there will
be flaws to correct. Flaws in the law
itself and in its execution. And crit

necessary for perfection. We have no
of such criticism.
What | do condemn is the advan-
tage taken of the short comings and
discomfort and individual maladjust-
ments to build general resistance and
to destroy public confidence in the

this.
For as far as | can see, the common
man is taking rationing gracefully,
willingly. They do not relish the at
lacks.
Our consolation If there is any, is
that the opposition misjudged the
public and exposed their own bad

COURT FOR week
DECISIONS:

DECISIONS:
December 30th-State ex rel. j. Mil
Ter Smith v. The FoxMissouIa Theatre
Corporation and others. Appeal from
Lewis & Clark county Helena Opin-
ion of the court prepared by Justice
C. F. Morris. Judge Albert H. Angst
man specially concurring in the re-
suit.
Held: Where the NARROW theatre
in Helena was charged with operat-
ing a lottery in connection with the
motion picture business, it was held
that the enterprise commonly known
as bank night" was not a lottery
within the contemplation of the Mon
tana statute, since there was no con-
sideration paid for the opportunity to
participate as required by the statu-
tory definition. The holding was
based on the reasoning expressed in
the Great Falls bank night case,
State ex rel Stafford v. Fox Great
Falls Theatre Co., recently decided
and reported in these releases.
January 2nd-State of Montana v.
w. A. ThierfeIder. Appealed from
Madison county, Virginia City. Opin-
ion of the court prepared by Justice
c. F. Morris.
Facts: Thierfelder, a licensed osteo-
path, was accused of practicing medi-
cine without medical license in that
he administered drugs and performed
tonsil operation. The judge of the
district court directed the jury to &C.
quit the defendant Thierfelder The
state appealed.
Held: That the evidence of admin
istering drugs and performing tonsil
operation in this case constituted
practicing medicine and that the case
should have been submitted to the
jury upon this evidence and If be-
lieved by the jury was sufficient to
convict the defendant 1t was further
held, contrary to defendants conten-
ton, that medicine and surgery were
not separate professions but were one
and the same.
ORDERS:
December 30th - The court denied

of John Pollard v. The Montana Lii
quor Control Board, case appealed |
from Silver Bow county, Butte, and |
heretofore reported in these releases |

the United States to pass the Shep
pard bill. This bill is designed to in
troduce prohibition in all army camps
in the country, and would amount
virtually to complete prohibition
throughout the country. The "drys'
are convinced that prohibition will
work in spite of the country's terrible
experiences of 1918 to 1888 Never
theless the prohibition lobby is work
ing overtime and they will have a big
vote when the roll is called.
One point in Governor Ford's speech
that should be pointed out to every
legislator was where he said that leg
islative halls were not proper playing
fields for the game of politics. The
governor stated that the representa-
tives were elected not just to repre-
sent their county but to work for the
interests of all Montanans, and they
should consider their oath of office
sacred obligation to carry out the
trust imposed in them by the electors.
We only hope that this is done.
E. G. Toomey, former legislator,
was selected last week by Lewis and
Clark county commissioners to be
state senator from this county sue
ceeding the late R. E. Morrison, who
was killed in an airplane crash in
Florida. Morrison was a lieutenant
in the army air forces.
Toomey's appointment has caused
serious questions to be raised in the
minds of many political observers.
Long known as an avowed supporter
of the Anaconda company in politics
and a strong antagonist of Governor
Ford it is generally believed that
Toomey's appointment was brought
about by the company interests so
that they might have skilled parlia-
mentarian to use to attack the gov
ernor and embarrass his administra-
ton.
His record in the legislature is not
one to inspire confidence The tabu-
lation of his vote on important meas
ures of the 9th legislative assembly
as prepared by The Voice shows that
he had a voting record OF 00@o. He
voted to repeal the primary law and
place the nomination of candidates in
the hands of undemocratic, corrupt
conventions. He refused to vote to
permit local governmental units to
sponsor projects to obtain federal aid.
He voted against the bill providing
that silicosis should be classed as an
occupational disease. He voted
against the old age pension bill; in
favor of the state guard act, and voted
for the bill to use highway money to
advertise Montana.

WEEKEND THOUGHTS


The sudden let-up, by certain news
papers, In their attacks on price con
rtol, rationing, and more especially or
gas rationing offers an interesting
field for study.
The abrupt comparative calm must
have reason. That reason is likely
to be found in one or more Of the
following:
1. The attackers discovered that gas
rationing and other rationing was aft
err all sound in principle.
2. The barrage of abuse failed In its
evident purpose of destroying conf
dence in the administration.
3. The objective was to liquidate
Leon Henderson the bad boy who
would not let the politicians pick the
state OPA leaders.
Since the most vicious attacks were
made by the fascistic press seemingly
more interested in maintaining the
status quo and harrassing the admin
istration than in prosecuting the war,
we can dismiss the first. AT least
there has been no confession of
change of heart. There has been no
acknowledgment that maybe after all
gas rationing is good in principle and
protection for the poor man who
without rationing would not get with
in reach of many essential goods.
1t is more difficult TO choose be-
tween the other two or to say which
dominated as motive force. Ger
tainly if one listens at all, he can hear
abundant testimony to prove that the
public in general takes gas rationing
gracefully and hence that if the mo-
tive was that of destroying confidence
in the administration the effort was
not only a failure-it became nause-
ating to reasonable people.
On the street, in the restaurant, on
the bus and street car people talk
transportation. 1t is pleasing to hear
the expressions of perfect willingness
to leave the car at home Maybe the
man is a stranger on the street car or
on the bus. Well, 1t is not as conven-
lent, but if the rubber is needed for
that sons protection and success in
the army or navy or the marines, he
is only too willing to give up the use
of that car, and so 1t goes From the
people | hear practically no
l get around quite little |
too; listen and ask questions.
AS for the farm situation, l think |
my experience on a bus last week is |
a fairly good illustration. A fat, sleek, |
well dressed man, in some sort of |
business according to his own state |
ments was making about the most |
vicious attack on the government I've I
ever heard any place. His remarks
seemed directed at some farmers. |
Well, the bureaucrats were destroying
he government. Pretty soon we'd |
nave a government like they have in
Russia. A farmer he said couldn't
now even butcher his own hogs or
beef He'd like to see any damn gov
eminent man tell him what he could
10 with his own stock. How was the
farmer to get his produce to markets?
How was he to get his crops put in
and harvested? 1t was a shame-the !
nefficiency of the bureaucrats. The
government can run the post office
and that's all it can do. When it tries
20 interfere with business and with
he farmer things get pretty bad.
One farmer replied he didn't think
t was as bad as all that. At least he
lad not been molested. He thought
hat time and experience would solve

The farmer is not a profiteer-never
has been. But if it costs him more
for help and costs of production rise,
he must get that back in the price
of the grain he sells. Secretary Wick
ard is out there swinging for the
farmer and when the returns for 1913
are all in he will be credited with
having done more for the farmer than
any other man in the administration
and with having done less to hurt or
mulct the average consumer than was
done in any previous war period in
the history of the United States.

on all state lands, and also that au-
thority be given to the governor ito
appoint commission to make COM
plete study of the whole problem of
our present and future resources in
forest and state-owned lands, in order
that long-term policy and plan may
be prepared and make report to the
next legislative assembly to effectu-
ate the best plan possible for saving
and promoting the economic welfare
OF the state as it relates to our forest
and state-owned lands"
Highways
The attention of the assembly was
directed to the conditions now facing
| the state in respect to its highways;
| that because of the tremendous vol
ume of traffic now moving over them,
| they are becoming seriously impaired
and with the rapidly declining revenue
| from gasoline taxes resulting from
tire and gasoline rationing, 1t will be
Impossible to carry on an adequate
maintenance program. He said
IF the war continues for many
years, and if the movement of heavy
freight incident to the war continues
and indeed it is expected to in
crease-at the end of the war we shall
find our highways in deplorable con-
dition, requiring millions of dollars to
rebuild and rehabilitate.
Il advise that thorough and i'm
partial study of past, present and flu
ture construction, maintenance, and
financing be made so that appropriate
legislation may be provided for a long
term highway program and for financ-
ing the rebuilding and rehabilitation
of our roads following the war.
During the past five years gasoline
refunds have averaged 20 per cent of
the total amount of gasoline taxes
collected. With the rationing of gaso-
line it is likely that black markets
will spring up which viii not only re-
duce our highway revenue but may
also materially increase refunds.
IL therefore recommend that our
laws relating to the collection of gaso-
line tax as well as those relating to |
refunds be amended to afford the |
greatest measure of protection to the
state"
Armory Board
Investigation of the business trans
actions and activities of the Armory |
mended by the governor and he sug-
gested that some practical plan be |
worked out for the state to take over
the property now owned by the board
and that the board be eliminated and
the corporation dissolved, as under
the present law it is not responsible
to the state nor subject to any state
supervision.
Water Conservation Board
Funds for extension of the work of
the state water conservation board
were recommended. In order to util-
lie present projects, canals must be
extended and the distribution system
in order to place $4,000 acres
Of fertile lands will be added to the
productive capacity of the state the
governor said.
Other recommendations for consid-
grafton by the assembly were:
Increases in assistance to the aged,
neglected and dependent children and
he blind.
Qualification of the wild-life protec-
ion laws.
Passage of a uniform drivers H.
