4 MONTANA AND OUR NATION
{ was the subject for discussion at
sthe Montana Study Group meeting
at the Library Tuesday evening.
The Rev VIM c. Stearns was leader
for the evening.
There are several classifications
O. regions of the United States and
the one presented in the study
course divided the United States in
to six regions as follows: The North
east, The Southeast, The Middle
States, The Northwest, The South
west, The Far West. This CLASH
fication is by Odum and Moore,
authors of the book American Reg
aonalism and an interesting discus
sion on this division showed that
the concensus was unfavorable to-
ward it. The eastern part of Mon
tana is included in the Northern
plains region but our western half
definitely belongs more to an In
land Empire group.
Each of the six regions listed
above were discussed sociologically
and economically within themselves !
and in relation to the other regions.
Some have higher standards of liv-
Ing, some have more race problems,
some are competitors in business
and others in cultural advantages. /

.SOIOnS Discuss
School Bill

UP)-Feb. II. After a
false start, the bill recognizing
Montana's elementary and secondary
school system made it out onto
the floor of the House of Represen-
tatives during the sixth week of the
Both assembly.
The l33-page measure, one of the
most controversial to come before
the lawmakers this session, ducked
back into committee on Tuesday, a
half-hour after it first appeared on
the floor.
The bills tour of duty in the
House was spectacular in that the
representatives got themselves com
pletely tangled in parliamentary
procedure before voting to pass con-
slderation of the measure for the
day.
Rep. L. H. Anderson's attempt to
amend the bill was blocked by
House Majority Leader, o. J. Arm
strong, R., Kalispell, who said such
should have been pro-
posed in a minority committee re-
port. Anderson was backed by
House Minority Leader D. r. James, |
who protested that the bill was
rushed through committee with the I
promise that If could be amended I
IN the floor.
After Rep. F. c. Krieg, R., of
Billings, moved to suspend COM
nittee of the whole rules, chairman
!. c. Toole, D., Shelby, was as con-
used as the rest of the representa-
ives. So Armstrong; motion to
)asss consideration for the day was
Idopted almost without opposition.
Wednesday, the House approved
iB-124 in committee of the whole
fter beating down an attempt to
IN the measure.
Only 26 representatives were on
heir feet when the chair was in
ioubt on motion by Rep. John
oliver, r., Ekalaka, to kill the bill
~ striking its enacting clause.
Oliver, a member of the approp- !
Iations committee, concentrated on
he fact that passage of the bill
would cost $5,500,000 during the
oming biennium.
1t was during deliberation on the
chool bill that Rep. c. ]. Williams,
l., Billings, chairman of the APP
committee, warned his
olleagues that a special session of
he legislature would be necessary
,efore July ! unless the lawmakers
ound the answer to the States fl
ancial problem before final ad-
Williams told the House members
hey were peering down the gun
arrel of a $6,0O0,00O deficit during
he next biennium, and added that
dditional requests have been made
or amounts which would boost his
arlier estimate as much as $4,000,
