Saloonkeeper Tracy Carpenter has
blackballed this reporter, Frank
Small, from service in his saloon. This
action was taken following a COM
plant by Grant Erickson, Helena
real estate operator, about an Incl
dent that took place in Tracy's in
volving myself, Erickson, Norman
Rogers and others.
Having met these gentlemen for
the first time l explained that /
worked for the Peoples Voice and
since they showed considerable in
terest suggested that they subscribe.
Six dollars were placed on the ma
hogany and proceeded to take their
names and addresses. AS I was about
this there were some extremely per-
sonal remarks passed and the words
Communist" and Communism"
were used several times. Seeing that
there had been an erroneous conclu-
sion as what their six dollars were
going to entitle them to I left their
bucks on the bar, tore up the slip
that | had been making and parted
company. The next day Erickson re-
ported my high and mighty behavior
to Tracy and the blackball decision
was made.

Public instruction Superintendent
Harriet Miller and Secretary of State
Frank Murray concurred with At
torney General Forrest Anderson's
Land Board resolution while the
chairman, Gov. ]. Hugo Aronson,
failed to voice his opinion after calling
for the question thus allowing him
self to obfuscate at a later date.
Louis Forsell and Duke Crowley as
sisted the Land Board with charging
of the Deer Lodge prison with farm
rates on the prison grazing lease of
state land when a Land Board investi-
gator discovered the 1,085 acres were
plowed up and cropped. The prison
is cancelling the 608-acre lease where
the hog pens and garden spot were
and retaining just that ground where
the brick building is. The hogs have
been moved to the old dairy barn.
*
The Land Board released all claim
to a triangular st of an acre that
a man in Bozeman built his house on.
This concurs with a Public Law that
Cong. Lee Metcalf sponsored to clear
the ownership title. The trouble
stemmed from the old Ft. Ellis grant
to the Agriculture Department of
the state college of this plot of
ground. The college was never aware
it owned the ground, and a mistaken
survey placed the house on no mans
land.-F. S.

want to say that the issue of
December IT, 1859 was well
worth it. However, you had
better look to your business,
you may be running out of
readers.
On the editorial page of this
last issue, our friend of the
people Blair Lee III says that
unless we give golf courses
some tax relief, Chevy Chase
will turn into a virtual Stun.
Those poor people in that area
better be given some help. Then
we turn to the front page and
we read "A planning staff re-

Silver Spring financier Sam Fig

week by County Councilman

Mr.. Fig wanted 10 build a golf
course in an area that has real
potential as a future industrial
site.
Right next to this item and
also on page one is the story
that the Board of Appeals has
granted permission to Mont

port on farmland right between
two of the oldest established

Refreshing Condor

I IATS off to Ward W. Caddington, chairman of the
county's Democratic State Central Committee He is
gentleman of refreshing candor.
"Im politician" he repeatedly growled when discuss
ing the subject of clearance with the central committee OF
nominees for appointment to the county personnel board
Caddington in fact, indicated strongly he didn't under
stand why the county council had sent the names OF per-
sonnet board nominees to the central committee in the first
place it didn't want political evaluation put slightly
differently, Democratic evauation
The Democratic official seemed genuinely perplexed
that he hadn't done the right thing by acting like Demo
cratic official. And have for him; he isn't the
only who's mixed up Everybody else to be- tool
How the council still argue that it referred the
to political group for nonpotcal purposes is
something that isn't too easy for anyone to understand
Caddington's candid and fortnight 'Im politician"
sertion easy enough to understand And to agree with
Of course he's politician and the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee s--or certainly should be-completey
politically oriented and motvated That's why sec
bers elected by Democratic votersto be Democratic
they're not Democratic with big DO, they're not do
ing their job
Accordingly, they simply performing their func
ton when they recommended two active Democrats for
the personnel board vacancies. Why should they
mend Republicans? The county council, however has
somewhat broader responsibility particularly far the
personnel board is concerned 1t is paramount to keep
party politics out of the hiring and frngand routine adj
mnistration-of county employees Hence, political
sderaton should be left out of it altogether when the
council is weighing qualifications for appointment of in
dividuals to the personnel board.
Why is the council being adamant and insisting
making politics factor in filling these jobs that should be
completely nonpotcal? We predict that unless they are
willing to face up to the fact that they made mistake
and correct they'll hear great deal about this
than they ever thought would be possible.

Turnuround Problem

r HE argument by D. c. Transit that it is not going to
assign fancy new-type bus to the planned Wisconsin
ave. bus line in the District because of Maryland tax prob
lens needs to be examined by Maryland citizens and off
Gals.
AS told by transit officials the carrier will not assign
the big, flying windshield" buses to Wisconsin ave- be-
cause Maryland tax laws insist taking bite of 81 per
seat for each bus in addition the valuation as the buses
turn around in Maryland and this would make such move
prohbitive in cost
The transit firms fear and trepidation over paying
the additional $ per seat does not in itself seem to be sf
fcent justification for such decision On the other hand
the more expensive buses are of course taxed more heav
ly and that, too, is factor to be considered
1t not clear at the moment on which side fairness
lies but Maryland officials should bestir themselves and
lind out 1t doesn't to make much sense really that
we should be standing at the district line heavily armed
with our taxing powers when the facts that the buses
venture only 685 feet into the Free State Also MARYLAND
ers do after ALL ride buses in the District and officials
have some responsibility to represent Them
It's entirely possible in fact that close check would
show Maryland entirely wrong this case and remedial
action could be taken easily and quickly We would hope
some pubicspred public official would undertake such
study.

County Law
Office Boy Knows
A Lot About Law
County Law

The office boy. Ronnie, who is called
Cuddlebear by the teenage girls who come to
see him in the office, repairs the typewriters,
files papers, chases down law books and pol.
ishes a Bugatti. After helping out with
particularly tough day in court, Bear delivered
himself of a noble ungrammatical gem, "More
people know less about the law of evidence
than anybody"
When this teenager talks, it pays to pay
attention AS class, teenagers know more
about people, cars and money than adults;
and when Bear comments on the law, he some
ton to his high standard.
Many a court room buff has pontificated,
81 won't convict man on circumstantial evil
dence." The implications of this statement
are that anyone who acts upon circumstantial
evidence is an ass, and that direct evidence, as
distinguished from circumstantial is as certain
and as infalible as the result of the thrilling
race towards dissolution run by Bufferin and
Aspirin within TVS squared stomach.
Those who deprecate circumstantial evil
dence and indicate willingness to stake some
one elses life on direct evidence overlook a
couple of points.
When a fish is found in the morning milk
pail it is some evidence that the milk has been
watered And if, when drinking the milk, the
drinker chokes on fish, it is some evidence
that the fish was in the milk. Let's assume
that this fish drinker sues the milk company
for watering the milk, and that the case is
tried before Montgomery County jury.
He takes the witness stand as plaintiff
assuming that he has the religious qualifica-
tons to also be notary public in Maryland
to tell this fish story. While so doing he
gives direct evidence The probative force of
this evidence depends upon the lack of bias,
the opportunity to observe, the memory and

Should Mere Citizens
Be Allowed to Speak?
Viewpoints

Should the neighbors come out and speak
their piece when they don't like a rezoning
request that has been filed in their neighbor-
hood?
At first blush, the answer is Eyes! OF
course. We live in democracy, don't WEI"
But is it that simple?
There are some legal-minded persons who
will tell you privately-because if they made
such statements in public in fast-growing
Montgomery County they'd be lynched-that
1t is actually fact that there is little point
in the neighbors putting in an appearance at
coming hearings.
Their argument is that coming law speci-
fies quite clearly that no coming shall be APP
proved unless there has been an error in pro-
cedure or there has been sufficient change in
the character of the neighborhood to Justify
a new land use there. "Zoning," they say a
little piously, we fear, must not be done by
plebiscite or on the basis of the whims of the
neighbors."
Granted that this line of reasoning is
taken in part, by some lawyers who earn fat
fees representing well-heeled clients in zon-
ing matters. They would, naturally, be ex-
pected to preach this doctrine. Some of them
honestly believe it. Others. of course, are
slightly influenced by the fact that that is the
way they earn their living-and in most cases
it is very good one at that
1t may be denied if you ask them but this
thinking even goes as high as the county coun-
Gil and the board of appeals. And thoughts of
this doctrine, or approach, to coming principles
