again with test tube lawmaking-
where a chosen few will meet periodi-

come back two years from now they
won't know any more about what the
issue is than they did before they spent

Tuesday
A frustrating day full of rumors
about what was going to happen-but
nothing materialized.
A Lincoln day ceremony took up
most of the afternoon. DR.. Renne, presi-

and the Bozeman College band played.
Wednesday
The bill to increase unemployment
compensation - HB 50 = passed the
House. There were no strong argu-
ments against it-except to protect
the fund" . which is built up as
bulwark against periods of unem-
ployment and should carry enough
money so that, on an actuarial basis,
it can meet the demands. If more un-
employment compensation is needed
to make realistic payments to the I'M
employed, then employers should make

The Osteopaths have a bill in the
House to allow them to do minor sur
gerry and deliver babies-the Montana
Medical Association opposes the bill
there are questions in legislators
minds as to what the bill will do to
the accreditation of hOspitals-in fact
there was enough interest in the mat
ter that the Judiciary Committee an
nounced on the floor of the House
there would be public hearing. There
were lot of people at the hearing
among them a number of legislators
besides the committee members. The
spokesmen for the OsteOpaths spoke
to the people that were attending the
hearing, but the Medical profession
spokesmen turned their backs on the
isteners-talked in low tones to the
committee and no one but the COM
mittee heard them.
After the meeting medical men said
they did it on purpose because they
were only interested in the committee
hearing what they had to say. 1t was
rude and high-handed, and l wasn't the
only one who was furious about it.
Legislators who took their time TO
come to the hearing-like | did-in
good faith-were not allowed to hear
the testimony of the opposition to the
billion purpose. Everyone interested
in legislation is busy these days, and
there was a lot OF interest in the Osteo-

highway cost responsibility calcula-
tions made by the committee, the in
dustry placed its chief reliance for
free way of life. Crist added, 1--WE
should hang our heads in shame if we
permit the bill to go through-lt is
our duty as legislators to protect-even
advance private free enterprise rather
than police it,.
Jake Frank (D-Stillwater) said we
should hang our heads in shame ii the
bill did not pass BECAUSE the utilities
were not private enterprise-they were
a monopoly and the reason we had
Railroad and Public Service Commits
sion was to protect the people against
eXcesses of the monopoly. Frank point
ed out unless the Railroad and Public
Service Commission did investigate
the needs of the utility there was no
protection for the consumer. Under the
present law, he said, the commission
was within its discretion to investigate
or not as it pleased. To protect the
consumer the law must provide for
investigation.
Rep. Gray put the matter in simple
form when he said it was like when
we spent our money for groceries
we wanted to know the cost of the
items we pay for.
Supporting the Gray bill were Frank,
and Barnard, (D-Valley).
Opposing the bill were Dempsey Cd
Silver Bow, Crist, Clark (D-Petrole-
um), Thompson (R-Lewis & Clark.
The roll call vote in the House was
on the Gray motion that the bill do
pass. 1t lost in tie vote 44-44. Demo
Gratis have SO members in the House
and Republicans have 35.
Another minority report came out of
Judiciary committee on HB 48, the So
called Missouri Plan. The bill, killed
once went back to committee on
move to segregate and re-refer.
The question involved is whether the
people know enough about the state
supreme court to vote. Those in favor
of this plan say they do not. They at
tempt to prove this by figures from
surveys they have taken. Proponents
say this will get the court out of poll
tics. The bill has been worked up and
presented by the legal profession.
Opponents, and some of them are
from the Legal procession, say this
method of choosing supreme court JUS
tices will not add to the democratic
processes. Rep. McGarvey (D-Flat-
head, read letter from a Missouri at
torney who termed the bill ''the Mis-
souri, Communist PLAN, and said once
a Judge has been appointed he is froz-
en- in office-that the people have no
choice-it is impossible to vote any
Judge out of office.
1t will take two-thirds majority to
pass this bill in both the House and
Senate, and then, as it is constitutions

sented to the people.

Joint House and Senate hearing on
six bills pertaining in one way or an,

There seems to be lot of churning
in the milk business these days-real
corney, huh? But if you had been in
the House chambers Monday afternoon
and heard the confusion between pro-
ducers, distributors and consumers,
you'd feel like buttermilk just like

Butte, Deer Lodge area because of the
increase in prices
There is dissatisfaction in the pro-

thinks of milk only in terms of cows

A glimpse into the Grand (ey) old
days" has been given to the Montana
State Senate by OctOgenarian Pop"
Grandey, (R-Prairie) with his Senate
Bills 1914 and 1875.
The only thing Pop" didn't provide
for was the stage coach, the highway
men and the attic room for the inno-
cent young girl who came west be-
cause she was always a bridesmaid but
never a bride and took up one of the
few honorable professions on the from
tier.
Grandey would establish normal
training courses in accredited high
schools in SB 1874 and in SB 1875 would
allow the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction to issue temporary
teaching certificates in his attempt to
take education into the backwoOds-
that isn't there any more, really
Education would cease to be a pro-
fession in any sense of the word
With only high school training, rural
schools would be getting nothing but

would get serious consideration-but
