Montana's S Wildlife
AGAINST THE GESTAPOf

Many remember the days when at the
whim and fancy of the governors fish
and game commission cars were stopped
on public highways and searched with
out warrant. Whether you had been
hunting and fishing made no differ
ence, your cars were searched and ques-
tions asked. An opinion from the at
torney general of the state put a stop
to much of this procedure.
Then bills were introduced in the
legislature endeavoring to make such
procedure legal but to no avail. Now
we are advised that the 35th Legislative
assembly will be asked to legalize such
procedure. Great Falls Tribune, July
25th: The Montana Fish and Game
Commission Tuesday said it may ask
the 35th assembly for authority to es-
tablish in and out hunter checking sta
tiOns." Their plea is for better record
of hunter harvest; many more permits
are issued to hunters in these areas
than the number desired to kill"
Yes, many will attest to the fact that
in So-called problem areas hunters have
hunted for days without seeing game,
yet the LEARNED state biologists who
are numerous, have declared the area
overstocked. The horde of biologists
and their hatchetmen along with the
departments propagandists have not
solved our game problems EXCEPT TO
HASTEN ITS EXTINCTION at an enor-
nous cost to the taxpayers. GestapO
methods will not cure the evil.
Montana's governor is the head man
in fish and game, if in doubt read Sec
tion 26-101 Revised Codes of Montana. |
Many believe Montanas fish and game
supervision is directed from Washing
ton through the National Wildlife Fed
Grafton, Wildlife Institute and Fish and |
Service That federal bureaus |
desire control of the states wildlife, /
sovereign right of the state, there can |
be no doubt and quite obvious to many |
that they are being aided by our own |
state officers who's duty it is to pro-
-ect sovereignty.
The L. 8. Supreme Count said:
"That law enforcement may be made
more difficult is justification for
disregarding the Constitutional pro-
hibitiOn against unreasonable search
and seizure. Our fOrefathers, after
consulting the lessons of history de-
signed our Constitution to place OBJ
stacIes in the way of too permeatinG
police surveillance which they seemed
to think was "a greater danger to ~
free people than the escape of some
criminals from punishment, the arrest
and search (without warranty were
beyond the lawful authority of those
who executed them."
So, no Gestapo. TOM PEASLEY,

84th Congress

However, Congress did enact legisla-
ton, Public Law $50 providing for a
vocational training program for In
dians between the ages of 18 and 35
to help them obtain employment. The
Bureau Of Indian Affairs has been
persistent in its denial of additional
ad to the destitute Indians in Mon
tana, but we shall continue our ef-
forts in behalf of "Americas first
citizens", the Indians.
The most grevious defeat for the
people of Montana during this ses-
sion was the Presidential veto of the
resolution which would have author
lied payment Of $5 million to the
Grow Indians for Yellowtail Dam
land and right-of-way, and thus
cleared away the last obstacle to
construction of this multi-purpose
project which will mean so much to
the industry and growth Of our state.
We believe the record of the 84th
Congress, as it affects Montana, is
good. We plan to make the record
of the 85th Congress even better by
providing, at the earliest opportunity,
for a $5 million settlement for the
Grow Indians. We are hopeful that
the President, whomever he may be,
and his advisers will agree that this
figure is just and reasonable, and |

on with the job of building Yellow

crease was due to one new develop
ment or an expansion of single in
dustry, which resulted in impressive
gains, according to the bulletin. In
Saltwater county, the reopening of
the Moaut mine was largely respon-
sible for an increase of 181 per cent
in covered employment between 1850
and 1866. McCone, Treasure, and
Dawson counties experienced large in
creases due to oil activity (128, ia,

tana, Mineral and Lincoln counties
have made gains in manufacturing
employment of 50 and So per cent
respectfully, due to expansion of lum-
Der production.
Twenty-three counties in the state
suffered losses in covered employ
ment between fiscal 1850 and 1855.
Most are small counties with their
combined employment in 1866 equal
to only 18 per cent Of the state total.
The major economic activity is agri-
culture. The University publication
points out that the decline is part of
a long-term trend. Most of the coun-
ties with employment losses between
1850 and 1866 have been losing popu-
lation since 1880, as ranches have
become larger, the rural population
has declined, and opportunities off |
5he farm have also become fewer.

By far the fastest growing maj

with an increase of 81 per cent in
covered employment between 1850
and 1855, according to MONTANA

Bureau of Business and Economic
Research at Montana State Univer-

MONTANA BUSINESS uses data
on covered employment compiled by

Commission for its comparisons. Cow
cred employment includes all non
agricultural employment except in
terstate railroads, government, and
a few service industries.
Flathead, Missoula, and Cascade
counties also had substantial gains

Only Yellowstone, Cascade, Silver

SPEEDY HALEY SHIFTED TO HALF
Piuzzu at Quarterback
Key Figure at St. Johns
(Another OF a Series)
BY BOB HANSON

An experiment is being tried
by st. Johns in football practice
AT Airiie Field and if successful
may be the key to a good season.
The Cadets finished 5-3 last
year and runnerup to Gonzaga
for the Catholic League cham
plonship. 1t was only an aver
age season and significantly. in
the last game. with Gonzaga,
and next to last. against Ana
costa. st. Johns was missing
its first string quarterback.
Johnny Haley, the youngest of
four brothers who starred in
football in high schools other
than st. Johns. received a
shoulder separation in the Ana
costa game and was through
for the season. The Cadets lost
that game and then to Gonzaga.
1t was no reflection on Haley's
understudy. John Piazza, that
his team went down to defeat,
for he was only a sophomore
with limited service.
This season. Piazza is being
groomed for the No. / signal
calling job. And where does
that leave Haley, a tested senior?
We're trying Johnny at half
back to utilize his running poten-
tial," Coach Joe Gallagher ex-
planned.
Haley. in all probability, is The
fastest runner on the squad. He
won the 100-yard dash in the
Catholic League track meet last
spring in 1913. He is 6 feet and
weighs about 100.
I'VE hope to have a more
diversified attack with Haley out
on flank plays" Gallagher said.
His shoulder has completely
mended and he can still throw
that ball. In certain situations
he'll do just that"
Piazza, compact 5-foot-11,
ITS pounds, will be given every
chance to win the first string
quarterback position. However,
Gallagher and his assistants
realize Piazza may need help
from time to time.
