This is courtesy that few will
object to extending to the men and
women who have been fighting our
battles for us. 1t is privilege to
the men and women in the services
and as it is only during time of war,
the loss to the fish and game fund
would not be prohibitive. The bill
should be enacted as mark of APP
probation to those who are fight

The editor of the Kalispell Times,

said that The love Of money is the

Of his paper.

It's Good News

1t would seem the Montana SUI
preme court reasoned logically
when it handed down a decision
during the week to the effect that
the state can use its S5,000,000 sur
plus for creation of after-War Jobs.
The attorney general had given as
his opinion that this money could
not be spent without special legis-
lation The supreme court ruled
that it can. That opens the way for
| the planning Of many worthwhile
projects that will help to provide
jobs for returning soldiers. And
that many such jobs will be needed
is certainty.
What this layman has gathered
from the discussion is that the law
aims to guard against excessive
spending by providing that any
surplus money must be incorporat-
ed into current needs and new tax
levies made with that excess mon
ey in mind Thus any surplus on
hand would reduce by that much
the need for new funds--to that
extent lessening Of the tax bur-
den.
However, the supreme court
views the matter differently. It's
decision opens the way for the
judicious spending Of the S5,000,-
900 for postwar work

Guest Editorial
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
By Margery Hunter
L. II. S. Journalism Glass

Let us have faith that right
makes might, and in that faith let
lis to the end dare to do our duty
as we understand it,
These words, spoken BY Abraham
Lincoln, patterned his life. It was
his faith in right and his faith in
democracy's teachings that drove
him on at the helm Of this country
when it was divided BY Gissension
during the Civil War. 1t was his
faith in this country's future that
inspired the nations reunion.
Abraham Lincoln was the repre-
sentative character Of his age. He
was a man of the soil. and his life's
pattern was one Of high endeavor
and self-sacrifice. During the ma
lority of his political career. he was
hated and degraded by opposing
politicians and yet when his sec
ond Inauguration took place, Lin
coin was able to say sincerely,
with malice toward none, with
charity for ALL
Countless memorials have been
raised in his memory, and we today
can erect memorial that will truly
do him honor. Not craven image
or q building but still greater
memorial one worthy of him.
We must raise this memorial in
our minds. We must follow his
teachings and believe in his ideals
and we must do as he asked us to do,
'Rededicate ourselves to the task
before US, to the unfinished work,
and resolve that this nation. under
God, shall have a new birth OF
freedom, and that government
of the people, by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the
earth" =

COUNTY AGENT PROBLEM

UDy, L GU. Il, 1o1o
Editor of Western News.
Is there any reason why Lincoln
county should not have a county
agent? Although the majority earn
their livelihood through the lumber
industry, should we deprive our
boys and girls the pleasure of All
Club work. Many of them, no
doubt, will seek homes outside of
this county in the future. Let us
prepare them SO they can take
their place with the best wherever
that may be.
Very little, if any, agriculture is
taught in our schools. Lincoln coun-
ty needs Al Clubs and more farm
women's clubs. In order to make
the most Of these, we need the aid
of a local county agent.
