WHAT DO YOU THINK?

but Representatives who were sincere
and earnest about the bills they were
trying to pass didn't think it was
really very funny.
Rep. Battin said Angstman chad

is cutting your throat, when it looked
as if one of his bills was about to be
laffed down the drain.
Last Thursday night after all bills
had been introduced Rep. Bardanouve
(D-Blaine) made motion to tax the
screams of taxpayers. Like the squeal
of the pig, there was nothing else
left.
Penny Power would open new hori-
IONS in Montana. 1t would bring
cheaper power bills to the family
budget. These things are important
as purely dollars and cents matters,
and if ever people take their courage
in their hot little hands and get be-

everyone will benefit.
But more important and less OBJ
vious to the general public is the
stranglehold that will be released
from the political throat of this state.
There is no way of counting the
thousands of dollars that are being
spent during these so days by the
power monopoly to influence legisla-
lion on every front.

They are spending money to fight

They are spending money on beau

They have their nose in practically

When the Legislature is over they
will spend more money working to

And whose money are they spend

each day brings animated and stimu-
lating conflict between leaders of the
| two parties and in which everybody
gets into the act at times, like Tues
day afternoon.
A tenacious battle had been fought
by Yellowstone county Republicans
on HB IT chow many poor fund mills
counties should levy before receiving
state aid) and the battle had ragged
for several days.
| Nothing was added to the cooling
by the bill setting over the weekend.
The four Republicans were working
for an 8mill county property levy
before state aid, Democrats were go
ing for 6.
In the final vote after the 6-mill
amendment won, Republicans had to
vote for it or the levy would have re-
manned at mills.
They had failed to get their mills,
but by turns they had tried to beat
down the Democrats by all the in
vective they could muster. They tried
to shame them, cajole them, threaten
them.
When the final vote was taken An
derson (R-Yellowstone) rose to ex-
plain his vote, which can be done be-
fore it is tailed if no one objects.
Speaker Macdonald said the pre-
scribed words, eff there is no objec-
tion the gentleman from Yellowstone
may explain his vote.
Rep. Daniels (D-Powell) said, 81

Anderson opened his mouth, took
a deep breath, sat down.
Rep. Nichols (R-Ravalli) stood up
and said, 81 would like to explain my
vote".

The vote was tailed.
Rep. EItlng did not vote and CLANCY
