Not being a practicing

escape political post mortems.
'In spite of my most ardent
sentiments and profound convic-

several instances and carried out
my wishes in others. That's the
way it has been for many long
years. In coming back to morti-

pARRIOTT, NEW SENATOR
FROM PARK COUNTY

Unofficial election returns as pub
lished in the Voice last week, indi-
Gated that Sen. Ole Fallon, R., Park,
had been reelected for another four
years. The official canvass for that
county now reveals the people of the
state will be we'll able to get along
without him in the 1949 and 1851
sessions. Instead, Edwin Parriott,
D., who was enthusiastically backed
by Park county organized labor, is
the new senator from that county.
Other changes brought about by
the official canvass show that Sena-
tor Leggatt, R., Musselshell, was re-
elected for another four years. Sen.
Leggatt, it will be recalled authored,
and fought like a trooper to get an
additional $3.50 per week compensa-
ton for disabled workers through
Senate Bill 105 of the 1947 session.
His voting record for the 1947 ses-
sion was 55a6-one of the best COP
records of the session in the senate
Also returned to the senate follow
ing the official canvass was Senator
Tom Ross, R., Blaine, who by very
narrow margin, won over Bert Muir
ply of Chinook. Ross didn't do too
well in the 1947 assembly, hitting
only $50.
Three errors in party designation
also found their way into last weeks

II with monopoly, % taxing private
distributors, and three dry.
Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania
are the only large states operating a
monopoly.
Most of the states, regardless OF
the system whereby they get their
revenues from liquor, have liquor
control board or authority. But
there are some which merely assign
collection of the taxes to departments
of revenue and give normal law en-
forcement agencies the job of see
ing there are no violations. A few
states have a special prosecutor as
signed to the control board. Others
permit criminal actions to be filed
direct by the attorney general in liq-
uor cases even though prosecution of
other cases is handled by county or
district attorneys.
No matter what may be the final
outcome of the argument on chang
ing the method of distributing liquor
in the state, it is certain there will be
many suggestions for reallocation of
liquor income. All profits now go
into the state general fund. A pro-

Remarks by Head Of
Commerce, Sawyer

Washington, Nov. 9 (AP) = A
farm group spokesman urged Presi-
dent Truman today to restrain
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer from
Interference" with administration
farm policies.
James G. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, telegraphed
Mr.. Truman Sawyer attacked the
farm price support system yesterday
in speech to the National Foreign
Trade convention in New York
Sawyer replied tonight the speech
approved the price support pro-
gram"
Patton said Sawyer's remarks were
contrary to the policies Mr.. Truman
enunciated during the campaign, and
also counter to the policies pursued
by the department of agriculture.
Patton added:
''This is not the first time Sawyer
has invaded policy fields for which
he has no responsibility and in which
he has no competence. We urge you
restrain him from future interfer-
ence of this kind. 1t is not our I'M
derstanding it is his job either to
pronounce farm policy for the adj
or to give consumers

prices"

Naturally the state is ill-prepared
to lose the 100000 to $5,000,000
in revenue from the present monop-
oily system but it is argued there are
plenty of other tested systems of in
surfing Montana would get it's proper
income if sale and distribution of liq-
uor were turned over to the private
enterprise system.
Theoretically, Montana has mon
opoly on wholesaling of liquor but
the last legislature learned at least
10 wholesale licenses were issued to
Montana individuals and partner
ships by the federal government in
1916.
The state monopoly plan was
brought to the United States from
the Scandinavian countries where it
was adopted as an aid to encouraging
temperance. At the time it was
adopted in Montana there were no
public bars. Now it is possible to
buy liquor by the drink or by the bot
tie, without a state permit, in virtual
ly every community in Montana and
the platitudes heard at the time of
repeal about no return of the old
time saloon have been packed in the
mothballs.

the college paper.
This week, Colonel Locke received
the following letter from Mr. Robi-
schon, which, by its contents, raises
some serious questions; not only con-
corning the XII Station in Bozeman,
but also the administration at Mon
tana State College.
Assuming that his support Of Wal
lace was the reason for his discharge
from the XII networks the XII
radio network, by use of economic
pressure, attempting to set up sys-
tenn of Thought control over its
employees political beliefs, in direct
violation of Amendment | to our
Constitution, which guarantees that
most precious of freedoms-the right
to free expression?
Assuming also, that Robischon's
resignation from the business man
agership of the EXPONENT was
brought about by pressure from MISC
president, DR.. R. R. Renne, because
Robischon was too liberal to suit the
president, another question is in or
der: Is DIR. Renne also attempting
to throttle freedom of expression on
the state college campus? Implica-
tions of this MISC situation, it seems
to me, are even more ominous than
those surrounding the XII station,
and should be given thorough air
ing by the State Board of Educa-
ton to determine if there is founda-
ton for charges that academic and
student freedom are being tempered
with on the campus of one of our
state-owned educational institutions.
That this matter may be publ
cised Voice columns will be open for
further discussion by all parties con
cerned.
