problem.
Most of the Southern records
we're picked up, almost literally, off
the streets of Richmond" Victor
Condos, now head of the Civil War
Records Branch, relates. Some of the
records were obtained from county
muster rolls, others came from various
State sources and from hospitals,
following the surrender. The Confed-
eracy was so disorganized that there
was no one place to get complete data
on service and enlistments"
Immediately after the war ended,
Gen. Henry w. Halleck, who was in
command of the Military Division of
the James, with headquarters in Rich
mond, was ordered to gather all Con-
federate records. Mr.. Condos says that
over 800 boxloads we're taken in Rich
mond and shipments came from Geor-
gia and South Carolina. By the time
DR.. Lieber was appointed to organize
these documents in 1866, there was
large accumulation of individual
records from the South lying in dis
order in what was known as the

A MAN at whose door the Civil
IA War knocked rudely" is largely
responsible for the vast collection
of both Union and Confederate serv-
ice records now in the stacks of the
National Archives.
He was DIR. Francis Lieber, noted
political economist at the University
of South Carolina, whose outspoken
opposition to slavery and secession
forced him to leave the campus in
1856. He relocated in New York with
two of his sons while a third son chose
to remain in the South and fight with
Hampton's Legion in the defense of
Virginia.
Prof Lieber was brought to Wash
ington by President Andrew Johnson
in 1855 and charged with the task of
establishing a bureau to classify and
preserve war records. He was already
we'll known as author of the famous
General Order 100, which established
a legal basis for the handling Of
prisoners and the treatment of non-
combatants. Dr. Lieber set up what
was designated by the War Depart
ment as Rebel War Records Bureau"

The Montana Public Service

Paul T. Smith, chairman of

He said the order of the ma

the evidence. Smith reserved
the right to file a dissent within
thirty days.

Horace B. Williams, former pro-
gram engineer for the State Highway
Department, has taken exception to
statement made by L. V. Swanson,
vice chairman of the State Highway
Commission. Williams said, the evil
dence shows the gag rule at hearings
on highway routing makes it impos-
sible for the people to have anything
to say about getting the highway job
done.
Swanson had said in Helena, Tues
day, Cali of us must stop fighting
and get the job done.
Williams statement continues:
"Last October / was invited by a
local resident to attend hearing in
Livingston on the proposed recon-
struction of us. 80 south of Living
ston from the Carter Bridge northerly

tions asked the chairman at the hear
ing concerned the design where the
interstate crosses SO. The chairman
very emphatically stated that the
interstate design and routing had no
bearing on the design and reconstruc-
ton of us. SO at this point and that
furthermore the plans for the inter
state at this point were not available
for discussion and that the only dis
cussion permissible that evening was

Gao Ruiz" Draws Protest

"A tape recording was made of
this hearing and the people there
were informed that a transcript of
the hearing from the tape would be
made available to them if requested.
How design for the reconstruction
of us. SO could be made without
allowing for the construction details
of the interstate is far beyond my
ability to fathom. But then maybe
no discussion was wanted ON the con-
troversial Interstate in this vicinity
because the question of $280,OOO pur-
chase of a small acreage for right-of-
way for the Interstate adjacent to
us. SO would have again been aired.
Then again maybe someone would
have brought up the subject of APP

COMMISSION MAJORITY
OVERRULED OWN EXPERT

The expert provided by the
Commission estimated the COM
pany needed approximately 1
million dollars gross.
The increase granted was
212 times what was figured by
the Commissions own expert as
a reasonable figure.
Those close to the issue fig
ured there would be a small
increase granted, but there was
general shock among people
who had followed the case, at
the excessive amount.
The key vote rested with :
Jack Holmes, and it is being
estimated that he has cost
Montana telephone users in
this miserable decision any
where from 100000 dollars
to a million dollars in in
creased rates annually.
A rate structure will be filed
with the commission by the
telephone company intended to
bring in the 212 million dollars.
The law requires the commits
sion to review this structure
and then the rates will go into
effect.-G. B.

handed down Saturday morn
ing granted in one additional
increase an amount that will
total almost % million dollars
in the same length of time.
1t is expected petition for
rehearing will be filed by pro-
testing groups, Attorney Will
liam Leaphart said in Helena
this week.
Leaphart, who was attor-
ney for groups protesting the
increase, said the decision
was ridiculous and uncon-
scienable".
The telephone company was
for about 81 million
dollars, the decision gave them
over 70% of the amount.

Looking at some of the above points
in more detail:
Highway Fatal Accidents: Daytime
highway fatals dropped from So in
1858 to 81 in 1859, even though high
way travel increased 2.5 per cent
on the Interstate and 3.4 per cent on
the Primary systems. Highway night
time accidents, as noted above, in
creased from SO in 1858 to 78 in
1859.
Liquor: Sc of the 1876 fatal acct
dents from all causes, found the
drivers ability impaired by varying
degrees of intoxication. In May. 1859
the years worst month-18 of &c
fatal accidents involved liquor. Four
teen of these accidents included
mixture of liquor and speed. Of "a
fatal accidents in 1859 chargeable to
reasons other than speed, eight in
volved liquor. Liquor, it is apparent,
is major contributing cause to high
way fatalities, particularly when the
'hi-ball" consists of liquor and speed.
The tragic role liquor plays in
highway accidents will undoubtedly
result in a major demand for
stronger regulatory legislation in
1861. Certain to be presented will
be an implied consent" proposal.
Supervisor Stephenson says the
present law governing driving while
in varying degrees is not
as effective as it should be in coping
with the drinking driver. "Under our
present law" he says, 'the driver
doesn't have to submit to a chemical
Jest and as result, very few viola

his weakness and would discourage |

The expert provided for util-
ity users by the utility consum-
ers group testified before the
commission that the company
needed no increase, but if the
commission wanted to be gen.
erous they could probably justi-
fly $4,000 a year.
