now was at rock bottom" and
the city deserved more services

Need for the new Spingarn High

stressed by DR.. George D. Strayer

DR.. Hobart M. Corning. super
intendent of schools; Col. West A

Commissioner Guy Mason sug-
gested a short-term loan, author
lied by Congress, to which Com
missioner J. Russell Young agreed
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said he recognized the
need, but would not favor loan
unless he was assured the city
would have sufficient revenue to
amortize it.
DR.. Strayer laid before the SUBJ
committee an analysis of his 980-
page survey of District schools
which had been made public pre-
viously. He stressed the greater
need for colored schools.
Emphasizing the low salaries
paid teachers here, he said the
District stood number 18 in a list
of 20 large cities in this partic-
ular. The $3.50 pending raise, he
said, was his first and funda-
mental recommendation"
Sick leave for teachers was
strongly urged by DR.. Strayer
When asked how much it would
cost annually. he replied about
$188.000 a year. DR.. Corning an
nounced legislation to give teach
ers 10 days Of sick leave each year,

Most Pedestrian Deaths Are Due
To Carelessness, Booklet Claims

Pedestrians killed or injured in
traffic accidents in Maryland last
year totalod nearly the population of
Laurel, according to a booklet pre-
pared bv the Traffic Collision Sta
,istical Bureau OF the State Police.
OF a total of 500 traffic fatalities,
the booklet declares, 100. or over -
per cent, were pedestrians. About "A
per cent Of these fatalities were due
to carclessness On the part Of the
pedestrian.
The bureau credited careless cross
ing Of the road, walking into the road
behind parked cars and walking with
traffic at night while wearing dark
clothing with 60 per cent Of all ia
talities between intersections. In the
other 40 per cent, the report says,
evidence of drinking by the pedes-
trian was discovered.
SiXty-seven per cent of all pedes-
trians killed were over So years of
age or under IS. The breakdown
shows that A per cent were in the
older age group, and % per cent We're
under Is.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1949-04-28

The ratio Of pedestrians injured to
pedestrians killed was Is to /, while
that of passengers injured to those
killed was 80 to /, which is to say
that a pedestrian struck by car has
one chance in II Of being killed, while
a passenger has only one chance in
40. Only five per cent Of all pedes-
trians struck escaped injury
One interesting fact brought to
light in graphs included in the book
let shows that while more pedestrians
in all age groups are killed in rural
areas every year, pedestrian injuries
in cities far outweigh those in rural
areas. probably because of the heavier
traffic in cities and to higher speeds
in the open country.
Another graph shows that the low
est percentage of pedestrian fatalities
is among youths from IS to 10 years
of age
The booklet ends with an appropri-
ate admonition to pedestrians;
"Be warm, living human being,
not a cold statistic"

At Deer = One Horse

Among the Maryland field notes of
the magazine maryland Conser-
vationist," spring edition, is found
the following, which needs no further
comment:
THE six day deer season in Gar
rett county ended in a total kill of
AL deer and one horse The horse
was shot and killed on the farm of
Virgil Sines in the Savage River area
near Bond by spotlighters. (note: as
to the deliberate shooting Of a horse
there IS nothing that polite langu-
age will allow us to say, but there are
many hunters who wonder at the
antagonism Of landowners and farm
ers and we especially call this to
their attention"

CANNON Restraints UNIVERSITY UNITS
FROM TIPPING BOARD, ROOM Rates

and intent of the National Rent
! Control Act, which was recently
renewed by congress for period
of S months.
You will, no doubt, agree that the
students attending our university
system constitute segment of our
Icitizenry, which, as whole, is least
able to bear any additional increased
living costs at the present time. These
are the men and women, of course,
who are acquiring professions and
who will embark on careers that
will be of great beneficial value to
all the citizens of our state in the
years to come. Consequently, if the
financial deficiency is resulting from
temporary inflated economy in our
country, it seems at it is the problem
of the State of Montana through it's
legislature, to overcome, and not to
attempt to place this burden on the
students of the university, who, gen
orally speaking, have not the means
to absorb it. From all appearances,
this inflationary trend seems to be
arrested at the present time, and it
certainly would be unwise for the
State of Montana to take any Off
cial action which would interfere
with such a favorable turn of events.
Therefore, until the attorney gen
eral has ruled on the question which
| have submitted to him, you are
hereby authorized and instructed not
to place any of the proposed increas-
ed rates for board and room in effect
in any of the state-owned residence
halls of the University of Montana.
Sincerely yours,-PAUL CANNON,
Acting Governor.

How Price Supports
Would Work Under
Brannan Proposal

Here is the way price support and
parity would be figured under Mr.
Brannan's sweeping agricultural. rec
concentrations to the congress last
week: The base period is changed to
the first ten of the last II years. In
figuring, for example, the goal of
farm income for the year 1850, the
cash receipts from farm marketing
during the years 1889 through 1948
are added together and divided by
ten. This average amounts to
around $40 billion and when multi
piled by "A per cent would give
farmers an income of around S26 bill
lion. In other words, Mr.. Brannan
has figured his base period with the
intention of giving the farm popu-
lation purchasing power equivalent
to the average that it had during the
ten-year period. prices have in
creased by "A per cent since the
base period -NFU In Washington.

The newspaper headline, the con-

of the Butte union, all locals affili-

way for the opening of negotiations.

either party on opening a contract,
Nine Mill officials this week are adj
vising Anaconda of the desire of the
employees for re-opening
Although the contract is subject
to opening on the question of wages

addition to the demand for rs cent
an hour wage increase, (1) health

democratic rights. The full
nature of the change is not yet
perceptible to most Americans
who are still trying to find
their bearings in the present atmos-
phere of high tension hysteria, while
the familiar landmarks disappear.
But the changes today being wrought
in the American way of life are as
far-reaching as has been the trans
formation of America into an indus
trial and monopoly-controlled So
ciety, with the rise of the trusts in
the aftermath of the Civil War, as
real as the changes wrought by the
great depression of 1929.
The folkways of America are be-
ing altered, and the slogans repeated
by generations of Americans are los
ing their meaning. Some of the
most common phrases and catchwords
of the American vocabulary-"This
is a free country" "There are
two sides to every story "Let
the man be heard" :. Liberty and
justice for alp ga mans inno-
cent until proven guilty''-are al
ready anachonisms.
Now a rash of repressive legisla-
ton in the senate and house and in
state legislatures throughout the
country, as well as current practices,
proclaim the new American doctrine;
There's only one side to every story
Don't let the other side be heard.
No liberty and justice for dissenters.
A mans guilty by proclamation and
he says or does can prove
him innocent.
A special characteristic of the
growing fascism in the United
States is the fact that it is draped
in the sanction of the law and is
being introduced legally" by

and judicial procedures with a

Editors Note: Following the APP
proval by the state board of educa-
ton of a recommendation that board
and room rates be raised at various
university units, Acting Governor
Paul Cannon asked Attorney Gener-
al Arnold Olsen to pass on the legal
lily of the increase. Pending Olsen's
decision, Cannon ordered the presi-
dents of the various units to refrain
from putting the increase into eff
feet In addition to the following
letter sent to President Mccain, SIM
liar letters were also sent to the

Dear President Mccain: | am in
formed that the state board of edu-
cation, at it's meeting held on April
II, 1949, by majority vote adopted
recommendations of the Chancellor's
office, authorizing increases in the
rates for board and room at the Mon
tana State University and other
units of the university system.
For your information, | have this
day submitted to the attorney gen
eral the question of the legality of
this authorization of the state board
of education. 4 have also requested
the attorney general to explore the
possibility of discovering some other
method of solving this financial prob
lem, other than that of increasing
the rates for board and room in the
state-owned residence halls.
take this action advisediy, for
it is inconceivabIe that, at such
crucial period in our state and ma
tional economy, the State of Mon
tana should, through one of its
official bodies, take positive and
decisive leadership IN encouraging
the continuance of an inflationary
trend which has been prevalent in
our nation for the past several
years. Furthermore, this action
of the state board of education is
in direct conflict with the purpose
