In 1947 the average number of

within four months. Only thirteen per

DR.. Robert J. Spratt, superintend-
ent of Montana State Hospital at
Warn Springs, in a report to the pub
lie, has announced that advances in
knowledge about detection and treat
ment of mental and emotional ill
nesses is steadily decreasing the
length of time which patient must
spend in a psychiatiric hospital,
steadily improving his chances for
recovery and for remaining mentally
healthy.
AS late as twenty years ago per-
sons were placed in mental hospitals
primarily for domicilliary care, since
it was still believed that severe mental
illnesses were unbeatable. A large
portion of the mentally i'll remained
in such hospitals for long periods of
time, all too frequently for the rest
of their lives. At the present time,
however, the majority of persons
treated in psychiatric hospitals are
being released within a matter of
months. The record for Montana's
State Hospital is better than that

Farmer and Lahorer
Raise Our Standards

Back in 1920 James Monroe was
president, one farmer could feed
himself and about three other people.
Even if we'd known how to make
automobiles and TV sets in those days,
there wouldn't have been enough peo-
pie to make them. Almost every pair
of hands was needed to produce food
and fiber.
That was more than century ago.
Today, thanks to power machinery,
fertilizers, better seeds, better ami
mails, more "know-how", one farmer
can feed himself and IL other persons.
Some of the IL others make our pop
up coasters, our automatic ranges,
clothes dryers, and other convent
ences.

national committeeman for the Re-
publican party, said in his July is
sue, "The appointment of Steve Arm
old as Secretary of State to succeed
the late Sam Mitchell seems to me to
mean a still closer alliance between
the chief executive and the dominant
ndustrial-political group that usually
calls the signals, in legislative SEES

of the milder cases of this type, and
eighty-four per cent of the more
serious, chronic cases are released
within twelve months following first
admission.
These figures demonstrate that
mental and emotional illnesses, par
ticularly those which are not COM
plicated by serious physical and neur-
illogical factors, are responsive TO
treatment. No longer need we be
frightened by or ashamed of evidence
of mental illness.

Per Capita Income
E X A M p L E S
For 1852

If we honestly believe that all children should
have equal educational opportunities, we must draw
more of the school finances from the largest unit
the federal government.
The larger income states do not derive all their
wealth from their efforts. Often the larger in
are the results of the work of people in many
other poorer states. Dividends earned in state
might be distributed in another state because the
poration domcile is foreign.
In general it is better to be spending ones major
efforts in behalf of good, but there times
when an evil is menacingy posed that attention
must be directed to opposition Putting it differently,
should strive to establish political philosophy
Including the taxing program the moral founda-
tions of democracy as conceived in the Christian
ethc and the rest should take care of itself
But when the proposed evil threatens the POSSIBLE
ity of the good led to of energies
on resistance Just now, face such a situation.
The schools of America in serious financial
difficulties Probably not less than additional billion
dollars per year needed for new classrooms, to
equip them for raising salaries so as attract the
best kind of talent enter the teaching profession
and to increase the number of trained personnel
How is this large sum to be raised? 1t IS to be
realized through fair democratic tax system?
This need be made into big political plum
1t can be handled to become real bonanza for
the money lenders and at the time destroy the
chance for democratic taxing system. This need is
dangerous temptation for the money boys. If some
sort of loaning agency to be set up, likely as
not the most needy would become debt ridden and
would have to pay the bonds from taxes their al
ready impoverished and heavily taxed district. Or
being compelled to borrow the needed money may
result in hamperng the needed improvements stop
them altogether In either case, the problem would
remain unsolved The so-caled soluton-through
loan agency-woud only improve the market for
money at best
Should such proposal be pushed the people must
to the best of their ability, resist it.

ment of man-to enable him to make of himself what
he was intended to be.
Nothing was better suited for his education
nronerl, used these resources could have provided
our schools with adequate finances for the foreseeabe
future When these were given away as they often
have been favorite interests who wanted them for
exploitation for their selfish interest, the next
best solution now is taxation
AS far as practicable, the taxes should be levied
on the larger units-the larger the better.
The more the is derived from the large
units the state and especially the United States the
more it is likely be equitable system That is so
because some localities and some states have much
larger per capita wealth which to levy land taxes
and much higher per capita income than others.
When this difference is in some cases as much
two to one nearly three to one it IS evident that
the ones with the smaller income and wealth do not
get the same opportunity for education They must
tax themselves two nearly three times as heavily

When it comes to the routine dut-
les of the Secretary of State, voting
records don't mean much. Their re-
Election is mirrored in the more i'm
portant functions that take place on
the Board of Examiners and the
State Land Board, much as Governor
Aronson's record has been reflected
on the oil issue.
Steve Arnold is IL years of age
and was retired on beautiful Flat
head Lake at the time he accepted
the appointment.
Some people believe he will run
for re-election-that he wouldn't
have accepted the appointment if he
didn't intend to. The post of Secre-
tary of State is important to both
parties and will be holly contested in
1856. Republicans would, it seems.
want someone appointed who would
make the race because incumbents
are supposed to have a percentage
edge.

ena to fill out the unexpired term, let

politics is a cruel master" He may
be right.
Comment was made at the time of
the appointment of a new Secretary
of State to the effect that the Little
Hoover Committee, set up by the last
legislature, might find new life blown
into it by the Republican majority
over-ruling the earlier 2-1 vote that
denied payment of the expense claims
of the group.
At the moment, from what I can
gather, no such action is Immediately |
pending.
The "Little Hoover Committee"
filed it's original action, when their
claims were denied, in the Lewis & |
Clark District Court. Attorney Gen
eral Arnold Olsen then filed de-
nurrer that said the members of the
committee were not members of a
committee and had no basis for filing
4 suit. He said the law setting up the
committee provided the members
would be appointed 1920 days after
he law became effective, and they
we're appointed before the law be-
,ame effective.
District Judge Victor Fall agreed
With the Attorney Generals conten-
ion. Judge Fall said he had no rea-
on to find whether the committee
vas constitutional because actually
here is no committee at all.
So the committee-th at-isn 't-a-com-
nittee has until the End of August

They could, of coure, drop the suit
nd start again with the Board of
Examiners, but doubtless would find {
themselves right back where they are Y
