WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ficer has made it necessary to at least
''glance' at this practice.
It would be we'll if the next session
of the legislature would make thor
ough search of areas where this is
taking place and see what steps need
to be taken to direct this money into
state Golfers. if that is desirable.
For years THE VOICE has con-
demned the acceptance of fees by the
legislative secretariat, and as late as
the conclusion of the last session we
printed the contents of letter sent
by the 1857 secretary of the Senate
to lobbyist, demanding 125 dollars
for legislative services.
Our story then didn't hardly cause
culver of an eyelash.
Fact is. we were considered not
quite "cricket'' for rattling the bones
of this legislative skeleton.
These practices have become what
has been aptly termed institutional
lied immortality. Both parties knew
it was going on, but no action was
ever instituted to stop it.
1t was as unethical then as it is to-
day. but popular practice made it
acceptable.
1t was and is only one of many
such practices going on.
In the Legislature it has a great
potential for legislative evil.
1t is no particular credit to the Mon
tana legislative processes that it is
only now being discussed for what it
is. but for the future well-being of
this branch of government it is to be
hoped it will soon be ended.
The lobby will always be filled with
people representing great wealth who
can dangle temptation before the
eyes of the help and favors can be
secured by any number of unsavory
methods.
There are legislators who are sure
there has been tampering with the
legislative processes above and be-
yond the practice of accepting fees,
but in the final analysis we can only
depend on the ethics and morality of
individuals. If immortality is accepted
on one level it can be brushed off on
another. If morality is expected and
demanded it is more apt to be found.
If we neither demand nor expect
it, but condone Constitutional immor-
ality" as we have over the years, we
not only have it, but foster it.

terized as those who were scared of
losing their jobs and who were rela-
lively ignorant of any knowledge of
what caused the situation.
The MSU professor said even
though Mcfarland desires to raise
standards he doesn't know how and he
can't seek or profit by advice of those
who could help him.
Fielder said there are no aca-
demic standards from which the
university has to retreat.
The Fielder speech climaxed over
week of charges and countercharges,
statements supporting and few
statements condemning the actions
of the MSU president.
Statements from Board of Educa-
ton members have tried to bring
some sanity to the chaotic condition.
DR.. Earl Hall, Great Falls, said at no
time did the Board of Education di-
rect DR.. Mcfarland to dismiss 18
faculty members, and said it is "de-
plorable" that the boards decision
to increase salaries at MSU, along
with all the other units, has resulted
in excessive publicity and misleading
statements.
DR.. Mcfarland has said his resig-
nation was forced" because other
wise he would be in position to be
accused of insubordination because
he would not and could not carry out
the Boards directive that he fire 18
faculty members.
The last Legislature increased the
appropriation for the Greater Univer-
sity System from some $13,000,G00 to
$26,OOO,OOO, and the question most
often asked by citizens who are con-
fused over just what is happening is
"what has happened to all the mon
ey"?
MSU has cut back it's janitors and
it's maintenance personnel to four
days a week. There is grave doubt
the janitors will be making living
wage on four days week. Added to
that MSU is the only unit to suggest
its faculty not receive an increase
in salary.

After sitting a day and a half
covering the Montana Legislative
Council meetings, I've come to the
conclusion the State of Montana is
fiscal wreck.
We heard Jack Reid lay down the
cold. cruel facts that are income and
outgo. and when Jack Reid gets into
debts and credits, revenue and spend
ing, the red and the black of book
keeping, you'd swear the man had ice
water in his veins.
He upsets a lot of people with his
strong opinions and factual calcula-
tions, and people are inclined to re-
ject as a sort of protection to shock
the kind of facts that must be faced
in difficult and trying economic
times, like now.
In evaluating Reid, however, you
have to bear in mind that he views
state government strictly as a busi-
ness. If there is not enough money to
pay the help-like any other business,
you let the help go, for instance.
And from a strictly business point
of view Reid is right.
However, government is not gen
orally viewed through the eyes of
businessmen, political propaganda
Notwithstanding, either from the level
of the elected administrators or the
electors.
Government is administered by poll
ticians and politicians must face the
judgment of the people whereas bust
ness administrators do not.
Anaconda can lay off 1900 people
and the administrators of the COM
pany have nothing to fear.
An elected government administra-
tion would face immediate retaliation,
if not tar and feathers, under the
same conditions.
1t is thus Jack Reid is somewhat
of a political atom bomb.
Even though he is doing the job
he is supposed to do, he upsets us all
by pulling no punches on the situation
we have to face.
Because he has made up his mind
the six-mill university levy is not as
good tax business as some other form
of taxation-even unto a sales tax
he proceeds to ignore the popular re-
vulsion of the people to sales tax,
which the legislator who is close to
the electorate-yea even courts them
carefully consider.
1t was almost possible to see the
hackles raise on the backs of the
necks of legislators on the council
when Reid said, "It will not break
you Qegislators) to find $3,800,000
more per year" in tax money.
1t isn't ice water Jack Reid has in
his veins, it is just the TRANSMISSION of
red ink.
And the shudder was felt rather
than seen that went through the leg
islators when they contemplated the
possible defeat of the six-mill levy
for the University system and figures
of from 13 million to II million dol
lars in new and replacement revenue
danced before their eyes.
You see, after all, democracy has
great virtue. We need the hard
headed Jack Reids and the elected ;
representatives who are yet respon-
sive to the people.
Though 1 cannot agree with all of |
Mr.. Reid's recommendation respect |
his dedication to the
job he is doing, and I hope he stirs a
lot of you guys to think seriously
about this matter of taxation like he |
has me, and l am sure the ~ mem
bers of the Legislative Council.
We cannot deny the need for more
state income-that premise is ac-
cepted and proven-now where do
you want it to come from?

Council, reported Monday on pro-
posal for "trial balloon" for the

he heads.
The trial balloon will be form that
will be sent to hold-over state sena-
tors to see if there is interest in hav-
ing the council provide a legislative
bill drafting service. If there are
enough requests for the service the
council will then be able to consider
hiring a local attorney to provide the
service and after the election in No

that is available.
The legislative council will also look
into the possibilities of providing a

More Revenue, But
Town Must Trim
Expenses lin 1858

Although the Village of Bluffton will
receive more money for general oper.
ating expenses in 1858 than it receiv.
ed last year, Clerk A. j. B. Longsdorf
advised the new council that is was
necessary to do some sail trimming
in the appropriations ordinance adop-
ted Tuesday evening.
Reason for this seeming paradox
was that last year the village spent
more than it received in revenues by
virtue of eating sizable hunk out of
large balance from the previous
year. A $4,000 balance at the begin
ming of 1857 was trimmed down to
81 500 at the end of the past year.
Reason for the extra revenue this
year is an unusual increase of more
than half million dollars on the
village tax duplicate (value of all
taxable property. County Auditor
Russell Hire has advised the village
that the duplicate increased from
$685., ,391 last year to Sc, SOP ,S8l as the
tax base for this year.
Placing of a large number of new
homes on the duplicate and addition
of industrial properties and an in
crease in utility properties were re-
sponsible for the duplicate boost. For

extra revenue amounting to 81, ,167. .23

Buttons famed trout derby,
which has attracted anglers from
nearly all 48 states since it's begin
ming eight years ago, will be opened
this year on Sunday afternoon,
May 4, at 2 p. M, Joe Goodman and
Aldine Weiss, co-supervisors of the
1868 derby, have announced.
The event, which has grown to be
one of Northwestern Ohio's major
sports events for the outdoors man,
had its beginnings in 1850. Although
$1,000 in prizes was offered on
tagged fish, there were no trout the
first year. The fighting rainbows
were stocked the following year.
In 1851, 400 big trout from the
spring fed streams of Castalia were
transported to the Buckeye, and
made an instant hit with sportsmen
of the area.
The popularity of trout fishing
sent the membership to a booming
$500 at one time. Other area clubs
began to offer the same type of
sport and fishing derbies became
popular all around.
The Bluffton club during the past
eight years has stocked a variety of
game fish in the two quarries under
lease by the organization. Rainbows
have been stocked only in the Buck
eye, but both the Waterworks and
Buckeye quarries have been the
habitat of most every game fish
native to this area including big
walleyes and pickerel from Lake
Erie.
Largest fish ever stocked was
probably the big muskie released in
the 1851 derby. The fish carried a
$3.50 cash prize and was caught by
Roy Moore of Fort Wayne an hour
and half after the opening bomb
was fired. The muskie was tagged
