Commissioners Defer
Naming Oil Co.ordinator

The Commissioners discussed at
their meeting today the threat of a
fuel oil shortage. but deferred de-
cision on whether to appoint an
emergency fuel co-ordinator for the
District.
The "desirability' of such an ap-
pointment was mentioned yesterday
in a letter to the Commissioners
from a Senate Interstate Com
merce subcommittee.
The Commissioners agreed to keep
informed as to the State of the
city's fuel supply, and to consider
naming co-ordinator later If the
situation threatened to become Sc
riolls.

Parents Considering
Private Glasses for
Pupils in Boycott

establishment OF private classes
for children affected by their par
ents' boycott of Browne Junior High
Schools annexes, Blow and Webb, is
under consideration by the Steering
Committee of Parents, it was an
nounced today
Gardner Bishop, a spokesman for
the committee, said classes to be
held in Jones Memorial Church.
4270 Benning road NE, for any
children who wish to attend after
the Christmas holiday are being
planned. Instructors would include
retired teachers who have volun-
teered their services, he said.
The boycott remained unsettled
today although efforts were made
again late yesterday afternoon In a
conference between the Browne
PTA and the Board Of Education.
Boycott to Be Continued.
Mr.. Bishop said he and Mrs. Nell
lie v. Greene, committee chairman,
are in charge of the steering COM
mittee's plan, discussed at a meet
ing following the conference.
At another meeting following the
conference, parents attending a
session of the Browne PTA body
voted in favor of continuing the
boycott after the holidays under
present circumstances.
Members of the school board again
yesterday urged the parents to send
their children back to school and
again were turned down. Since
school closes today for the Christ
mas holidays, the first possible
chance for the children to return to
class is January 5, when school re-
opens.
Elmer House, PTA member, ex-
planned it this way to the board:
1--WE still have on our hands the
problem of the children in the
streets. Nothing has been said that
will change that. What this COM
mittee (school board committee)
should do is prepare us with some
thing concrete to take back to the
parents so they can feel assured
that at least we can depend on the
board"
Solution Being Attempted.
Mrs. Philip Sidney Smith, board
member conducting the meeting,
answered that she couldn't see how
the board could do anything more
than say it was going to study the
matter carefully and try to reach q
solution.
I'VE suggest that the children all
be returned to Browne on part-time
classes until 1t is settled" Mr..
House stated.
Board Members Adelbert w. Lee
and Mrs. James w. Williams agreed
this was the thing to do. But, as
they were the two members who
voted against the transfer of the
Blow and Webb Schools from white
to colored pupils when the matter
was decided originally by the board.
they could not reopen the matter
under board rules.
No other member would make the
necessary motlon TO reSclnd Cne
board action, and the whole prob
lem was taken under advisement
by the committee.
Many Suggestions Offered
The PTA Representatives had a
number of suggestions to make-all
Of which were based on not using
Blow and Webb schools as annexes
to Browne.
One suggestion was to turn Eliot
and Stuart Junior High Schools
over to colored pupils to relieve the
crowded conditions at Browne. The
white children from these schools
would go to Eastern High School,
while the students there would
scatter among the other white
high schools. Another suggestion
was to shift Eastern High School

bill could have harmed labor and
small business immeasureably.
SD 127 also hit the rocks in the low
er house. This bill permitted the es-
tablishment of special police assess
ment districts.
SD 70 an even more vicious merit
rating proposal than lib 164, met an
early death in the senate.
SD 81 was one quite similar to a
measure introduced a few years back,
and had it survived, would have pro
vided a sizeable tax plum for Wes-
tern Life Insurance company, Helena.
New Revenue Sources
Very little in new revenue was de-
the house of IA measures. Only four
got passed that body, and one of
those-HB 251, the lone armed band
it" licensing measure, died in the SEN
ate.
Successful was HB 268 which i'm
poses state licenses on punchboards;
Also successful was a house propos-
al to impose a two-cents per pack tax
on cigarettes.
Only other one that will aid much
is lib SO which increases rentals on
state grazing lands 20 per cent. The
new schedule, should it be approved
by the governor, will still be consid-
erably below rentals charged up to
1888 when the assembly cut the fees
in half because of the poverty of live
stock growers. This bill Will bring in

this bill gives workers little boost
per week, but also establishes the dan
gerous merit rating system.
HB348 which, had it been success
full would have greatly strengthened
existing child labor standards. AS was
to be expected, it too was short lived
House approval was accorded to
House Joint Memorial 3, but the SEN
ate thought otherwise. Had this mem
orial passed, Montana would have
in individual or corporation income
taxes until individual exemptions were
increased.
Two other good measures which did
MT get to first base were HB400 and
SD 1876 These two would have requir-
ed lobbyists to register and identify
themselves and their expenses.
While it may have been too much
to have hoped for, there were those
who had great hopes of passing HB
800 This bill would have set up a
state rent control authority to take
over in case congress kills existing
federal controls.
HB 215 would have established a re-
call law in Montana so that the peo-
pie could have recalled elected Off
Gals. Legislators, apparently consid-
ering what might happen to them
selves, put this proposal to an early
end in the house.
No Help For Montana Teachers
Many measures were introduced to
help alleviate the situation facing the
teachers of the state. Particularly i'm
Dortant were SD "a establishing a ten
ire law and SD 159 setting minimum
wages for teachers. Both of these
we're approved by the senate but
could not get past the house. Other
eacher proposals met similar fates.
Revenue measures secured about
he same kind of treatment as did
hose pertaining to teachers. Fourteen
'evenue bills were killed at one crack.
True, this included HB 339-Sales Tax
because of intense opposition from
LII corners of the state. But, in the
words of one banker present at the
ime of the slaughter it's Just !
lot good business sense to kill every
me of those bills. j.. F." He was refer !

his bill was estimated to be worth
500 900 annually to the state.
No Ant-CIosed Shop Bill
Although Reps. Duppler and Brad
ey served notice that they would pres
mt an anti-closed shop bill, much the
anne as is plaguing labor in a good
lany other states, opposition was so
ltense and immediate, that no such
i'll reached the Introduction stage.

AND MAINTAIN T H PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND HIGHER INSTITU-
TIONS' OF LEARNING IN MON
TANA.
The supreme court has repeatedly
ruled that the lands granted to the
state for these purposes constitute a
trust and must be administered so as
to yield the best returns to the bene-
ficiaries of the trust.
There is no dispute that the public
plight because of insufficient funds.
1t would seem to me only common
sense in the light of this-that the
legislature now in session, live up to
it's moral obligation to the school sys-
TENS of Montana, and act to correct
an obvious faulty condition existing
in the rental rates of its grazing lands.
My request for an increase of $50
has been seriously considered. l have
had estimates from fellow legislators
who feel that the increase should be
1900. No one, | feel, knows exactly
the point at which the greatest reve-
nue. would be returned to the state.
My request for the $3.50 increase may
be inadequate, it is certainly conserv
alive, and it is definitely a step in
the right direction. Future legisla-
lures may determine the ACCESSIBILITY
of further changes in rates = condi-
tions might warrant drastic adjust
ments.
1t would not be fair to sit idly by, |
in periods of prosperity and ask the
ranchers of Montana to pay rental |
rates which are scarcely above taxes. |
This if done places these venerable
gentlemen in the position of receiving
charities at the expense of the school |
children of Montana. l don't believe |
they desire this. None to whom l
have spoken have opposed a substan-
tial increase in rental rates. Why,
then, should this legislature accept a
attitude regarding this
very important asset of Montana
schools.
l trust that there will he none
among us in the legislature who will
break faith with those who placed
hem in office, by legislating for per-
3onal or group interests, when the
welfare of so many will be leopard
lie by so doing.
This is our trust. Only the best
should be exercised in this
obligation. | feel certain
hat we will not go home leaving this
natter unsettled To do so would be
most unjust to Montana schools and
quite unfair to Montana taxpayers.
1t should be noted that while Rep
Nichols and the editors of
The Voice have frequently found
themselves at odds, his sincerity and
lis willingness to aggressively carry
he ball on measures which he thought
we're right, has gained our whole
hearted respect. He has proven to be
me of the really outstanding new
members of the house, irrespective of

Loan Shark Control SB 81
This measure by Haight, Fergus,
will mot only place the hitherto un-
regulated loan sharks under the reg
ulations of the superintendent of
banks, but will also establish the
principle that such ''blood money out
fits should be subject to law. AL
though there has been some question
whether the measure goes far enough,
it is definitely a long step in the
right direction, and should experience
prove it to be not completely effec-
tive, it can be frightened considerably
at subsequent assemblies.
After a stiff fight this bill passed
the senate 1919 (roll call published
last week.. Then, when it got into
the house the fight that took place
dwarfed into insignificance that of
the senate The "loan shark" lobby
lists pulled every trick in the book
in their attempt to kill it, however,
the united efforts in committee and
on the floor by Reps. Padbury, Lewis
& Clark; Walton, Powell, and Toole

by a 1876 vote. A motion to recon-
