Editorial
A Contrast In Political PHILOSOPHERS

Frequently the shadow line between the
political PHILOSOPHERS of candidates of the
two major parties is so indstinct that voters
have little to go on except the personalities
of the combatants.
Fortunately, no such twilight zone exists
in several important state contests this cleo
ton year. One example is the race for the
governorship. Both party nominees have long
legislative records. Democratic nominee Paul
Cannon, by his record, is definitely progress
sive. Republican nominee, former Richland
Senator Donald Nutter, is just as, definitely
conservative
For example:
Minimum wage: Cannon, as member
of the House, supported enactment of a state
minimum wage-maximum hour law (1939).
Nutter, as State Senator, opposed setting
a $1.00 minimum wage (195D. At
Occupational Disease Compensation:
Cannon was an early sponsor of legislation
to place Silicosis and other occupational di-
seases under Workmen's Compensation
(1941). Nutter on two occasions voted against
placing such industrial accidents under COM
pensation, which would have relieved the
general taxpayer of paying more than a mil
lion dollars per biennium in taxes to support
this phase of Public Welfare's responsible
ties (1955 and 1850. Nutter also opposed
legislation to force the crippling industry to
reimburse Welfare for payments made to
Silicotics (1955).
. Farmer Coop Taxation: Nutter led Sen

tax law Glib 1881 which would have crippled

FRANKLY SPEAKING

will now proceed to the dangerous
ground of having opinions about 6
recent Supreme Court opinion Nc
contempt of this court is intended
and / hope that no legal-beagle can
read such motive into this column
In the case of Ernest Monforton
versus the. Northern Pacific Railway
Co. the precedent was established in
seeming contradiction of the estab-
lished laws that the railroads now
have the right to ignore safety pre-
cautions where they cross public high
ways.
Justice Hugh Adair came through
with a brilliant dissent. With logic
and simple mathematics he was able
to demonstrate that Monforton was
not guilty of contributory negligence
when he was struck from behind by a
passenger train on the Dry Creek
road near Belgrade.
(Adair dissents and opinions are
usually at length and Helena cor
respondents are impressed with their
quality. Before the recent primary
election an assessment of the number
of opinions put out by the Court was
made. The intent of the survey was
to show the efficiency of the opinion
mill in regard to speeding justice.
Adair without assistance of the bat
terry of s'ghost' writers has come up
with major dissents and opinions
which show that quality and quaint
ity are not at odds with one another.)
The majority opinion in this case,
which set aside the lower courts dam
age award to Monforton, has estab-
ished concept which must be set
aside by the Legislature spelling out
railroads safety responsibility.
All too many crossings of railroad
tracks in this state have the made |
quate wooden "X's" and even some

of reasonable care for his own safe
ty" some action must be taken by the
law makers this winter.
In past sessions legislation has beer
introduced requiring flagmen at every
crossing.
This has always been considered
| too expensive a burden for the rail
roads to bear, However, after this
precedent-making decision the safe
guards of the court are removed from
railroad crossings and some new pro-
lection for the motorist must be
found.
In the Monforton case, the road
crossed the tracks at an angle. An
open field gave Monforton a false
sense of security because he had not
seen the train as he approached the
crossing and the engineer was on the
Blind" side of the train and had not
seen him and failed to whistle warm
ing. Adair demonstrated with simple
arithmetic, Monforton could not have
seen the train approach.
The law says a whistle is to be
sounded fifty to eighty rods from a
crossing and the bell rung from there
to the crossing, - *t@
With crossings in the poor condi-
ton they are in and this new inter-
probation of existing law it will be
wise to have a re-evaluation of what
is required to insure safety at rail-
road crossings.
The subcommittee on governmental
of the Legislative Council
met Monday, this week. They turned
from the study Of how to make the
Legislature more streamlined and
pondered as to whether the Governor
had enough or too much power adj
