INITIATIVE ASKING FOR BOND ISSUE TO b.
PRESENTED MONTANA CITIZENS

are few people who will refuse t.
sign the paper that allows the citi
zens of the state to vote on an issue
According to law any registered voter
may sign a petition. He must sigr
it the same as his name appears or
the voting records. However, when
the time comes to vote on bond meas
ure initiatives at the ballot box, only
taxpayers may vote.
In asking for the bond issue of
million dollars for the State Hospital
at Warm Springs and 100000 dol
lars for the State Training School at
Boulder, the committee has asked for
that which will put these institutions
in such condition that they will be
adequate to handle the needs of the
immediate future There are long
standing inefficiencies existing at
both places. 1t is to be hoped that the
citizens of Montana will make a point
to understand the needs of the insti-
buttons, and the problems of the men
tally i'll, and will cooperate with
those who are doing this work of love
for those incapable of speaking for
themselves and so entirely at the
mercy of the people.
Anyone who would be interested
in working with the committee may
write to me and will see that their
letter is put in the hands of the
proper people.
THE VOICE will continue to sup
port these institutions, and in the
months ahead we will present mater
ial we hope will give our readers
better understanding of this issue.
1t is important to bear in mind
that you as a citizen demand that
,hese people be taken care of. 1t is
important to bear in mind that the
security of the community is often i
involved in placing people in these
State Institutions. If these are the
east of the reasons for becoming |
more familiar with the problem, they
ire important. They are important
n that if you and your community
lemand they be cared for, it is equal
Y important that they be properly
AIRED for.
No segment of our population is
o completely at the mercy of their
rothers We only ask that you find
ut what the facts are before ignor-
ng the issue.-GRETCHEN G. Bill

Two years ago Governor Bonner
appointed the 32-member COVER
NOR'S INTERIM COMMITTEE ON
MENTAL HEALTH. Under the
able Craftsmanship of Prof. E. A. At
kinson of the University at Missoula,
the committee has functioned so well
it is generally conceded to be the
best informed citizens committee on
mental health in the state today.
The interim committee in the first
place was chosen from people who
were interested in the work of the
committee. The second step taken
was the organization of groups to
visit the institutions. Before the sec
ond meeting of the committee, all
members had seen first hand the two
institutions they were to study. They
had consulted with patients, person
mel, and superintendent at the State
Hospital at Warm Springs and the
State Training School at Boulder.
Active through their respective or
CARNATIONS during the last legisla-
ture, the committee felt that legisla-
tors are too reluctant to appropriate
necessary funds to take care of even
the minimum needs of the mentally
i'll. With the increasing demands on
the institutions and the Tagging pre-
parations for adequate care, the COM
mittee finally decided that the prob
lem must be presented to the people
through the channels left open to
them in the Constitution of the State,
the initiative process.
The interim committee for two
years has been operating without fin
ancial assistance of any kind. Mem
bers have paid their own expenses for
all work of the committee.
1t is strong evidence of the worth
mess of the committees work that
after two years, that at the meeting
in Helena, Saturday, February 16,
most of the 80 members were pres
ent to vote on the Initiative measure
and the amounts to be included in it.
The session lasted all afternoon, as
committee members made final ar
engagements for support of the mi
tiative.
Printing of the petitions will
proceed Immediately and should be s
in the hands of campaigners with
in short time. :

"VIGILANTE JUSTICE" is
NOT FOR MONTANA SAYS
STATE SUPREME COURT
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

By GRETCHEN q. BILLINGS
Friday of last week the Montana
State Supreme Court in an unani-
nous decision, written by Associate
Justice Harry j. Freebourn, de-
creed for Frank Dryman, 2O-year-
old slayer of Clarence Pellet, Shell
by citizen, new trial and a change
of plea from guilty" to mot
guilty"
The decision was handed down
approximately ten months after
Dryman was sentenced to hang by
the Shelby court.
Justice Freebourn stated in his
opinion, The evidence raises
a grave doubt that defendant had
the mental capacity to appreciate
and understand what he was doing
and the consequences thereof,
when, without benefit of counsel,
he pleaded guilty to the charge of
murder. Since all doubt should be
resolved in favor of a trial on the
merits, defendant should have been
allowed to withdraw his plea of
guilty and enter plea of not
guilty i. For reasons stated the
case is remanded to the lower court
with directions to set aside the
judgment and allow defendant to
withdraw his plea of guilty and
enter a plea of not guilty"
Now there still remains before
the men, who, to their everlasting
credit put conviction above person
al gain or fame to fight this case,
the presentation before jury. Up
to this point, however, it is signifi-
cant that the democratic processes
have been made available to a PEN
niless stranger, and so far, Mon
tana has been spared the shame of
a hanging decreed in moments of
passion and hysteria via "vigilante
Justice.

DEMAND FOR POWER UP
MANY TIMES IN FOUR YEARS
The requirements of rural electric
co-operatives served by the Bureau
have been steadily and progressively
increasing for several years. In De-
cember 1948, the Williams Electric
Cooperative in northwestern North
Dakota had maximum demand of
263 kilowatts. By December 1861,
the demand had grown to 1,021 kilo-
watts. The Burke-Divide Electric CO.
operative, also serving rural and ur-
ban customers in northwestern North
Dakota, had maximum demand of 81
kilowatts in December 1913; a maxi
mum demand of 1000 kilowatts in
December 1851.
The West Plains Cooperative in
southwestern North Dakota had
maximum demand of 800 kilowatts in
December 1913, which increased to
$40 kilowatts by December 1851.
The maximum demand of the Nc
Cone Cooperative in eastern Mon
tana grew from 468 kilowatts in De-
cember 1948, to 1,481 kilowatts in
1861. These are representative in
creases, Vernon explained, and are in
dicative of what takes place when
power becomes available. Each of
the co-operatives is continually add
ing new customers, and old and new
customers alike are making added
use of electrical energy. Of particu-

in November.
2. To allow Montana voters the
final say on bringing workmen's COM

of payments in other states.
3. To let the voters decide whether
they want to d" stop substituting

PRODUCES ENOUGH POWER
FOR CITY SIZE OF GREAT FALL

The installation of the new unit
at the Fort Peck Power Plant in
creased the capacity of the Corps of
Engineers-operated plant to $4,000
kilowatts. Total production of the
three generating units in the plant
during the two-month period, Deem
Der and January, was 109,959, 900
kilowatt-hours. This is sufficient gen
GRAFTON to provide the 1850 power
requirements of Great Falls and Hell
ena, and vicinities, for the full 12-
month period.
Power generated at Fort Peck
Power Plant is now serving II rural
electric co-operatives in eastern and
northern Montana, 13 in western
North Dakota, and 6 in north-cen-
trail South Dakota. Fort Peck power
is delivered to consumers, in many
instances, over transmission facilities
of the Northumberland Utilities Com

soHeWhat ABOVE us rated capacity.
A better understanding of the amount
of electrical energy produced by the
new generating unit during the six
week period is gained when it is re-
allied that the power requirements of
Great Falls and vicinity during the
entire year of 1850 was 74,4O7, 900
kilowatt-hours, Vernon said. Thus,
in six-week period, new power sup
ply sufficient to meet the needs of
Montana's largest city for more than
six-month period has been greatly
absorbed.

could any one suggest q nice. quiet
place where my husband and I
could go for week or so, SO that
he could get a. good rest while
convalescing from a recent illness
in the hospital. We are not rich
SO prices must be moderate. We
hope we will not have to travel
too far. as the long trip would be
too firing for him. We will not

suggestions.
TRAVEL WITH CAT.
(Fronl Mrs. M. I. D., Siluer SPRING.
Mrs. D. B., Washington: Al
though a reply to your inquiry has
already been printed. I would like
to send along a few suggestions,
because my ideas on the subject of
travelling with cat are quite diff
Iferent than the ones which ap-
Ipeared in the paper.
We have had considerable ex-
Iperience travelling by auto with
our full-grown Persian-some A.
900 miles Of it last year. Had we
not been transferred first from
Los Angeles to San Francisco and
10 months later to Washington,
kitty would not have been forced
to undergo the torture of travel.
Perhaps your cat Is different, but
ours hates noise. the motion of the
car and the uprooting from IA
|miliar- and loved locale to a diff
|ferent one where she feels lost and
frightened by every sound and
shadow. My first suggestion is
this: If you are travelling for
pleasure, let kitty have her fun,
too-leave her in her own home,
in the care of some kind neighbor
who will not mind feeding her and
letting her cut in the daytime and
seeing that she is in at night, If
that is her normal routine.
If you must travel with your
cat, take a few short drives
around the city, before starting
the trip. to determine how she
will react to traffic noise and the
motion of the car. Many animals
Iget car sick. It will be necessary
to nearly starve your cat during
Ia trip in order to prevent this.
AS a rule cats just refuse to eat
when they are unhappy or upset,
so you would probably find that
kitty will regulate her own diet.
Our cats chief item of diet is raw
horse meat. You have no idea
how many problems this created
for us as we crossed the continent.
We finally discovered that she
Jared best during the day on
canned milk and water and about
a tablespoon of our baby's cereal.
At night we tried to coax her to
eat a little meat.
During our first move with our
kitty. we tried to keep her in the
comfortable cage which my hus-
band had built. She never became
Ireconciled to it. but was happier
on my lap or curled up under the
baby's car seat. Some few cats
like to sit where they can see out,
ours wants to hide from the noise
but likes to be close to us, so that
I've can reaSsure her.
