SUCH PERFORMANCES DISCOURAGE ABLE MEN
FROM ACCEPTING PUBLIC POSITIONS

these men at the next election as they
were repudiated by every member of
their party in the senate. If these
men wish to indulge in private malice
and personal SANDER, they should
not, we think, demand the right of
continued use of an fundamentally
the senate-for such purposes, or
any other, except in a public forum
where vile SANDERS can be later dealt
with in court of law and not through
senatorial immunity-a towards way
of character assassination.
Montanans should be proud of SEN
ator Haynes, Rosebud, and Senator
Mahoney, Garfield, who, regardless
of party, denounced the smearing
tactics of Haight and Wilson.
The people of Hill county and Mon
tana are lucky, as Sen. Haynes so fit
tingly expressed it, and should hold
their heads up proudly because of
the great speech on tolerance and de-
cency delivered to the members of
the senate and particularly to Sen.
Wilson of Toole, by Sen. Jess Angst
man of Hill, who is making a great
record for himself and the people
during this session. We need more
men like Angstman in public life.
And, the people of Phillips county
may well be proud of their lady sena-
tor, Mrs. B. M. Phillips, for her per-
tinent questions directed to Senator
Haight, on the matters of common
decency and fair play
1t is such performances as those
OF Senators Wilson and Haight which
discourage many able men from
seeking or accepting public positions
of trust.-TRS.

Tuesday the public and senate wit
messed the amazing spectacle of the
minority floor leader of the senate,
and his runnerup for the position,
being soundly trounced and repudi-
ated by every senatorial member of
their party.
The minority floor leader, Senator
Wilson of Toole, was elected to this
high position by his fellow Demo
Gratis. AS minority leader he should
have set an example both by his con-
duct and language. Any little boy
repeating the language and SANDER
heard in some low dive, and similar
to that used by the minority leader on
this occasion, would promptly get a
spanking from his mother, and per-
haps have his mouth washed out with
soap.
When a floor leader of a great
party, and before a mixed audience,
adopts a technique of character as
sassination, there is an indication
that he is not fit for the high office
which he holds. A man who cannot
control his temper or who, in public
ridicules a cripple because of that
fact; who tears to pieces his private
life and reputation, lacks something
which every public official should
have-a sense of common decency,
a sense of fitness and propriety.
Yes, it goes deeper than that
a man who feels compelled to re-
sort to such conduct as that used
by the minority floor leader, is not
the kind of a man who should hold
public office.
1t is hoped that the people of Toole
and Fergus counties will repudiate

"While some progress will be
made, the main accomplishment will
be the awakening of the people to

that before another session rolls

tricts would not be necessary"
Highways
Looking at another recommends

was more optimistic on favorable
action by the legislature.

needed to match in excess of $22
millions in federal funds over the
next three years, he pointed out that
the voters had already authorized
highway bonds in the amount of SIS
millions. To raise the balance of So

been proposed, including:

broadcast Sunday.
Attributing much of this
lack of achievement to the Re-
publican majority in the senate
exercising veto power over I'M
portant recommendation of Gov.
John Bonner, and to an attitude of
appeasement by certain Democratic
members, Cannon emphasized the
need for the people placing major
tiles in both houses that would look
kindly upon legislation to aid Mon
tana's progress.
Combining his address to three
main party issues: ~ public schools,
(2) highways, and 90 developing
our natural resources and bringing
new industry to the state, Cannon
pointed out:
Schools
"To eliminate the necessity for
these special levy elections and prin-
cipally to equalize the burden of
school costs of the state, recon-
mendation was formulated by the
citizens committee to submit to the
people of the state of Montana a
constitutional amendment which
would make it mandatory for this
state to provide fifty per cent of
the total cost of education in our
public school system.
fThis referendum, Glib 34) which
l feel was one of the most important
measures to be introduced in the
legislature this year, was approved
by the House of Representatives by
vote of 81 to 80. Under our con-
stitution, before an amendment can
be submitted to the people, it must
gain the approval of two-thirds of
the elected members of each branch
of our legislature. Consequently,
while this measure passed the house,
it failed the necessary two-thirds
provision by a total of nine votes.
'In other words, nine represent
atives prevented the people of the
state of Montana from voting on
the question of whether or not
they desired the state to absorb
so per cent of the cost of educa-
ton.
"This was the key piece of legisla-
ton proposed by the citizens COM
and as the balance of the
was anchored to this finan-
cial proposal, it was necessary, there
fore, to readjust the original pro-
gram and endeavor to enact, by COM
promise, substitute makeshift pro-
gram. This has been done by nego-
tiations between the representatives
which endorsed the citizens program
and other groups interested in our
problems. This effort
to compromise is nearing final con-
at the present time, and
Under this compromise, the state will
absorb around one-third of the cost
IF education.

serted in the compromise plan to

matter whose fanciful tastes they
may happen to satisfy. The fact
that they are "traditionally" or
universally" used in other con-
gregations or that there are con-
gregants who enjoy singing these
melodies, is no valid reasons for
continuing to use them. The mel
odies for congregational singing
must be chosen skillfully and
carefully. They must be melo-
die, musical, within the singing

A most meaningly service is the
one which aims towards a max
imum of congregational partici-
patton in worship, prayer and
song. The musical portion of the
service should allow sufficient
time for the Cantor to give ex-
preston to his Hazanic artistry.
for the choir to sing it's prepar-
ed compositions, and for the Can
tor and choir to lead the con-
gregation in song.
The most successful medium
for greater participation in song
is to organize a group of con-
gregants from those who regular
ly attend worship and have them
meet with the Cantor as often as
possible to learn the congrega-
tional melodies. During worship
this group should be dispersed
throughout the congregation so
that they may act as section lead
ers, and by their singing, inspire
those who surround them to join
with them. The Cantor the Rab-
hi, the choir and the pulpit Of
ficals should at all times lead the
congregation in every phase of
congregational participation. In
synagogues where there are Jun
ior Congregations, it is desirable
that their congregational melo-
dies be the same as those used

A Vets Eye View
of Arizona
By DIR. HOWARD WEIGH

WE HAVE JUST returned from a
two-month trip to Arizona, to spend
a second spring in 1949. When we left
there, on March Is, the weather was
getting really hot, altogether too hot
for comfort in the afternoon, with
the winter visitors hunting a shady
place until nearly shutdown. There
was hardly a cloud in the sky dur
ing February and March.
1t isn't best to ~generalize too much
about conditions in a state the size
of Arizona, any more than we can
make general statements about Mon
tana. In the Salt River valley,
around Phoenix, the altitude is LOO
feet, snow is unknown, and even a
frost is a rare thing. Up at Flag
staff, $50 miles north and through
out the whole Grand Canyon area,
the altitude is well above 5000 feet,
and this last winter was as severe
there as it was in Colorado or Mon
tana.
There are heavily timbered areas
and huge, irrigated valleys, with
miles of citrus groves, alfalfa fields
and crops of all kinds. AS with Cali
fornia, Utah, Nevada and New Mex
leo, water is the chief limiting factor
in this fertile country.
Range Cattle
Stock cattle are really range cat
tie; many cattlemen never see all
their cattle at any n time, calves
are born every month in the year,
There are few, if any, small herds.
The rancher with $50 COWS simply
does not exist in Arizona; a man has
a lot of cattle OF none at all. Most
of the cattle are Herefords.
Sheep are wintered in the irri-
gated valleys on barley or alfalfa,
and summered in the mountains.
Lambs are born in December and
are fat and on the market by April
or May. Dairy cattle and poultry
are found only in the irrigated areas,
near the larger towns, such as Phoe-
nix, Tucson and Mesa.
We rather expected to find an en-
tirely different list of veterinary
problems, strange diseases, etc., but
apparently sheep are sheep and cat
tie are cattle, wherever they live
One stockman from eastern Arizona
told us that his biggest headache was
water belly" in his steer calves anc
that he lost an average of 2 or 3 per.
cent each winter from this cause.

Foot-rot in Dairy Cattle

Foot-rot does not seem to occur
in beef cattle, but is bad in dairy
cattle.
There is considerable Bangs dis
ease among the dairy cattle, but APP
parently little or none in the beef
herds. Arizona is making quite an
effort to get rid of Bangs disease
in the dairy herds, and recently
passed a law requiring a clean bill
of health for every dairy COW that is
sold, no matter where or how that
transaction takes place. If a dairy
cow changes her ownership, she has
to be free from Bangs disease. If
this law can be enforced, it will be
a big step in the right direction, and
stop the spread of the disease from
one herd to another.
The poultry industry is limited
largely to the areas around the cities,
and the main problem seems to be

which so far seems to be only partly
