states, in such a way that our
rights and our future are safe
guarded?
The proposed Columbia river
compact would be a mean of
heading off a socialistic river val
ley authority.
Along the general line of COM
ment in this column several
months ago, at least two of the
most influential members of the
legislature feel that the legisla-
ture should meet in regular SEES
sion every year instead of every
two years. This would require a
constitutional amendment.
The idea seems to be that one
session should be devoted pri-
marily to the making of appropri-
atoms. 1t is obvious that the ap-
preparations committee of the
house and the finance and claims
committees of the senate cannot
do an adequate job under the
present arrangement. The hope
that the state controller system,
established by a 1851 law, would
eliminate difficulties that for years
have plagued the legislature has
not materialized.
Another suggestion and I
think it has merit - is that leg
islators be put on an annual sal
airy basis. One reason for this is
that the lawmakers responsible
ties do not end when the assembly
adjourns. The governmental prob
lens of his constituents CRAWL
tate to him, and as a result of this
considerable of his time is taken
up by public business.
Proposals to give legislators
more compensation have been
made at this session, but 1 think
that doing this through making
limited allowances for expences is
an oblique rather than a direct
approach to the situation. The
$40 a day now received by the
legislators for go days each bien-
mum is not even subsistence pay.
In my opinion, the amount il
costs the taxpayers to hold a
legislative session is not as i'm
portant as the amount that the
legislature, through its enact
ments, may cost the people of the
state.

MONTANA THIS E

Jack Reid is a crusader. And
while perhaps in general no fault
can be found with his detectives.
IL has seemed to me that he would
get along better if he were more
diplomatic, less blunt. It appears.
however, that recent experiences
with county assessors and other
o11lcIals have taught Mr.. Reid that
laying down the law is not the
best way to get cooperation. At
a press conference Ito which I
was not invited) he was quoted as
saying that a solution to tax as
sessment problems ''can't be ac-
complished with a club"
Assuming that his appointees
are confirmed by the senate, Gov
ernor Aronson will have only his
own men as members of the state
board Of equalization. Hence the
inference will be that the board
will be carrying out the governors
policies. My conjecture is that
Governor Aronson has outlined for
the board members what he be-
heves should be done in terms of
broad policy, but so far as it has
been my opportunity to observe,
Governor Aronson has not die
tated to his boards, although he
attends their meetings as often as
he can as a means of keeping in
formed.
Quite properly, his boards con-
suit the governor about the mat
ters of policy, for, among other
things, the administration will
be judged on the performances
Of the governors appointees. Gov
ernor Aronson's attitude toward
his boards is in contrast with the

Helena In nominating E. J..

Ing a senate term in 1853, he chose
not to be a candidate for re-elec-

The nominations, of course. are
subject to senate ratification. and
at this writing no action has been
taken, including the nomination
Of J. T. Reid, chairman of the
board.
Jack Reid, Of Glendive, appoint
ed TO the board on the death of

became the dominating factor on
the board, partly because he is
positive and direct and perhaps
partly because the other two
members of the board, being Dem

was now a Rpublican show.
Ed Byrne was appointed to fill

in~terferences by his predecessor,
Gov. John w. Bonner.
What answer the legislature will
come up with on the state high
way financing problem is becom-
ing more confused by the day. The
recommendations of the govern
or's highway interim committee
were presented to the legislature
in informal joint session; but at
this writing there is as yet moth
ing to indicate that the recon-
mendations will be accepted in
several important instances.
Even some of the legislators who
were members of the executive
group of the interim committee
the group that formulated the
recommendations - are not 60
ing along with several Of the ma
jor proposals.
Does this mean that the work
of the interim committee, which
covered about nine months last
year, was futile? So it might ap-
pear as to some of the aspects.
Highway taxation is a very con-
troversial subject. There is a lot
of irresponsible talk about it. On
some phases there is all too much
bias and all too little fact.
The immediate problem lis to get
additional revenue Immediately
matching federal funds.
In Portland, a Democratic state
senator of Oregon, a member of
that states section of the Column
bia River Compact commission,
refused to sign the compact on
the ground that the commission
was loaded with Republicans and
tainted with politics." He said that
the compact was intended ito stop
at all costs a regional authority
and that it reflected the thinking
Of private power groups.
The Oregon senator, who up to
the moment of signing had APP
parently made no objection, was
probably correct if he meant that
the compact commissioners gener-
ally are opposed to Stacking the
water resources of the Columbia
drainage with a Socialistic river
valley authority, such as Sen.
James E. Murray has been trying
to impose on the Missouri river
drainage and on the Columbia ba-
sin.
The people of Montana are I'M
questionably decisively opposed to
any such river authority schemes.
The proposed compact now comes
before our legislature for ratifica-
ton or rejection. 1t will take SINH
lar action by the other participate
ing states, followed by congress
sional approval, before the COM
pact would be effective. The chief
spokesman in the legislature on
the compact is Sen. Lloyd L. Wal
lace of Lake county, chairman OF
the Montana section. Sen. Glenn
H. Larson of Sanders county is al
so a member of the compact COM
mission.
1 hope that the valley authority
issue will be raised in the Mon
tana legislature, for that woulc
narrow the argument down to the
vital point: Do we want to turr
our water resources over to bu-
reaucrats over whom we have M
control, or are we going to con.
troll and manage our water re.

Faulty Brakes
One of Major
Crash Causes

Despite the fact that auto
mobile brakes usually give warn
ing of impending failure, $40
fatal and $4,000 non-fatal acct
dents on the highway of this
country last year were attribut-
able to brake failure, according to
Harold P. Pierce, manager of the
Keystone Auto Clubs Washing
ton office.
Warning motorists to be alert
for any indication of efficiency
loss in the braking system of
their cars, he further recommend
ed that brakes be checked
periodically - at least every 5000
miles.
This should be DONE" he said,
"by competent serviceman who
should remove the wheels and
inspect the brake Innings, check
the drums for scoring and wear,
test the front wheel bearings,
clean the brake assembly, check
the hydraulic system, adjust the
brakes and, finally road test
them"
Pointing out that heat, direct
product of braking, is the major
enemy of Innings and that brake
lining friction can generate
enough heat to turn the cast-iron
drums cherry red, Pierce advised
drivers to shift to low gear (or
low range in cars with automatic
transmissions) when ascending
long grades. This saves wear on
brakes and avoids the possibility
of failure, he said.
Moisture, he contends, is
another brake weakener. Under
some atmospheric conditions.
motorists find brakes look tight
when first applied. This is caused
by condensation building up mois-
ture inside the drum. Running
through deep puddles in rain
storms can likewise flood the
brakes and cause them to lock,
slip, or fail to hold.

Construction of multi-story
medical center in Gaithersburg

The three founding doctors
and possibly a resident dentist
will have their offices and joint
