hand. He also felt that while the
Legislators might provide enough to
temporarily allay the crisis, any last
ing school reorganization might be
delayed another decade because of
such a session.
Montana Farmers Union President
Don Chapman recalled that he was a
member of the assembly at the time
of the 1894 special session and that
the legislators legislated on as many
items as during the regular 1888 ses-
sion. He felt, in view of the makeup
of the present legislature, that little
of lasting benefit could be accom-
plished and the state might as well
save the large amount of money such
a session would cost.
lib 124-a Dead Duck
ConcenSuS of opinion was that HB
124, and the sweeping changes in
volved therein, were dead issues. How
ever, it was the opinion of several
present that the report of the gov
ernor's commission, which resulted in
the drafting of HB 1874, contained
much valuable material which would
greatly aid any proposed statewide
study in arriving a recommendation
for overhauling the school systems. 1t
was also felt that future legislation
should be drafted in several bill COW
ering such matters as (a) financing,
OBJ district consolidation, (c) educa-
tional standards and qualifications of
teachers, CD teacher tenure and mini
mum salaries, etc.
Although financing is the major
problem facing Montana schools, those
at the meeting discussed this in a |
general way only. 1t was felt that |
for solving the fl /
nancial problem should stem from |

thorough Investigations of availability |
of new tax SourceS-such as severance |
taxes and exploitation of natural re-
sources, increased corporation license
taxes, higher individual and corporate
income tax schedules, etc.

Hiroshima months-a hope that our
efforts might be channeled primarily
into finding what good we can extract
from the atom. We have already gone
far down the dead-end road toward
total armament.
The way back to the peace path is
not easy. Not even so easy as it was
a few months ago. But perhaps we
now know that it is more difficult
than we had expected, and perhaps we
are now more nearly prepared to make
the sacrifices that are necessary

on a number of questions, such as:
Cd The ACCESSIBILITY of starting the
control program on a step-by-step
basis with a flexible time scale, or in
an all-at-once basis at a predetermined
date; (2) the definition of owner
ship" management" and licensing,
and (3) the question of whether the
atomic control plan shall come within
the u. N. as now constituted, with the
veto" applying in the security coun-
Gil, or whether atomic, control shall
come under altered u. N. rules involv-
ing an amendment to the charter
granting world enforcement powers
whose use is subject to majority vote.
We should not minimize these diff
ferences. Some of them are basic.
But what the Russians, and we too,
must do, for the good of all mankind,
is to examine the specific reasons for
our disagreements over the wording
of each disputed question. We can
not safely delay in this! We must ask
that all cards be laid upon the table.
It is not simply "our way of life at
stake, or theirs, but all modern civil
ization.
1t is right that we face not solely
a question of atomic control, but
rather one of control of all war
question of general disarm-
ament. We must not talk in the flow
cred "double-talk" of international di-
Dlomacy, but in honest, basic words.
IN words that do not conceal hidden
aims. In words that specify visible
lcts, not solely abstract principles.
We have not always done this, nor
lave the diplomats of Russia, nor of
England, nor of most of the other
lations. But we must.
Time Shrinking Away
We must ask ourselves why we de- |
nand "step by step" establishment of
IN atomic control plan, and whether |
ur aims in such requirement can
re misinterpreted by others not so |
ertain of our just motives as we.
We must ask ourselves searchingly
whether our definitions of owner
hip" and management" are derived
rom capitalistic experience which
enders them unacceptable to Com
lunistic nation. We must seek ways
D achieve our aim of adequate inspec-
ion without placing gratituitous OBJ
tacles in the way of Russian accept
nee. And we must ask Russia to
pecify more explicitly how a willful
collation. of atomic control can. be
finished if we have only the mechan-

| The term enforcement" Bottomly
held, does not necessarily mean the
power to arrest. But he continued:
"By authorizing the board to employ
agents or employees, and pay their
salaries and expenses out of the Ii
oense funds, in my opinion, is clear
Indication that the legislature in
tended the board to employ staff of
agents sufficient to enforce the pro-
visions of the act-one of which, as
pointed out, is that mo person, part
nership, club, society, etc., shall oper-
ate or keep slot machines without a
license"
The attorney generals opinion, and
the governors interest in endeavor-
ing to pin responsibility on some state
against unlicensed slot machines, high
light what has long been known-that
licenses held by religious, fraternal
charitable and non-profit organizations
under the 1915 law cover only 25 to
35 percent of the slot machines actu-
ally Operating Ill the state.
Direct comparison between the
"coin-operated amusement and gam
ing devices" taxes by the federal gov
eminent and the slot machines Ii
censed by the state under the 1915
act is impossible as of a given date
because Cd the federal ''use tax" COW
ers certain pinball machines as well
as slot machines and (2) the federal
tax may be paid for any period from
1 to II months whereas the state Ii
cense fee is for one year regardless
of how many months the slot machine
may operate.
Best available information is that
the state this calendar year will Ii
cense approximately 1900 slot ma
chimes. The government taxed more
than $500 machines in the fiscal year
ended June 80.
Now that the governor is armed
with an opinion by the attorney gen.
eral that the board of equalization
has the power and is directed to en-
force the law against ''any person or
persons" who operate slot machines
in violation of the 1915 law, limiting
licensed operation to religious, fra
ternal, charitable and non-profit or

6. The Montana law sets up two
classes of city employees under the
commission-manager plan: The man.
ager, his deputies and department
heads need not have any special quail
fications and are not on a civil service
list; but minor employees including
police, firemen, stenographers, etc.,
must be selected from civil service
lists The latter can take no part in
politics except vote; but the top Off
Gals can politick as they please.
Second class citizens and first class
citizens, if you please!
That briefly is the law Montana
cities would have to follow.
Two Manager Types of Government
Confusing
JayCees in their current arguments
are holding up the city of Cincinnati,
Ohio, as an example of success in the
city manager plan. BUT CINCIN-
MATT HAS THE COUNCILMAN
AGER PLAN AND NOT THE COM
MISSION MANAGER PLAN. Cincin-
natl elects a council of many mem
bers, each representing a certain dis
trict in the city. There the voters
have their fingers on their council
men.
Originating with Galveston, Texas,
about 1900, the municipal commission
plan had been adopted by about 500
American cities by 1917. By 1920 it
began to appear that the commission
form was not the cure-all for
city ills. AS the council-manage plan
came into being, enthusiasm for the
older form simmered down. Very few
cities are adopting the commission
form now. More than 100 of
the original commission-manager cities
have abandoned that form.
In contrast to the commission-man-
ager form of city government, the
;ouncil-manager plan has been aban-
Toned by fewer cities. The council
pan DCSdn Will LAY COil,
Ohio, in 1913. By 1888 451 American
cities belonged to the ranks of the
cities. Cities that
nave abandoned the council-manager
plan include Akron, Ohio; Fall River,
Mass; Tampa, Florida, and Cleveland,
Ohio.
1t is very interesting to note that
the two cities most pubIicized as "best
government" cities, one is a council
mayor city and the other is a council
manager city-Milwauke and Cincin-
lati. Students of government say that
n both cases a high degree of public
ducation in municipal government
nd community problems have been
ontributing factors to good govern
lent. Both the mayor of Milwaukee
nd the manager of Cincinnati carried
he problems of city government to
he people in a continuous process of
ducation.
The commission-manager idea is not
0 up-to-date as the Great Falls Jay
ees say it is. While the idea was
riginated in 1900 or there abouts,
Iontana adopted the plan in its own
ay through legislative procedure in
D21-26 years ago.
The question for the voters of Great
alls and other Montana cities con-
dering the city manager idea, is
neither or not under present state
gal requirements for city manager
ley want to weaken democratic pro-
edures in city affairs.

ments by Mr.. Gromyko in reply
to a series of eleven questions
asked of him by Sir Alexander
Cadogan, representative of the
British government. Neither
the original Russia plan nor
Mr.. Gromyko's explanations
have been adequately dis
cussed by the American public.
The Russian plan deserves careful
consideration. 1t is the result of
months Of deliberation by the repre-
sentatives of a great world power on
people of all nations. 1t certainly is
not safe for us in America to seek
refuge in emotional responses of blind
acquiescence to the Russian view.
And it is equally dangerous for us,
on emotional grounds, to denounce
the document as a weapon of arrogant
propagandists.
The document, in spite of its bias
(after all, it is written by Russians
who are possibly even "pro-Russian") J,
is a heartening sign that we have
many points of substantial agreement.
In view of the grim alternatives, we
must not lightly abandon the search.
for peaceable resolution of our differ
ences.

cries out fervently for preventing vi

it asks that there shall be estab-
lished strict international control 81
over all facilities en-
gagged in mining of atomic raw mate
rials and in production of atomic ma
terials and atomic energy"
Differences Many
Yet, many points of difference exist
between the American and the Rus ;
sian plans. Our soundest criticism, 8
perhaps, is that the Russian plan is ,
not strong enough. But are we our ,
