Well, does it seem good to have the
election over?
Here at the VOICE things are
quieter and it is possible to accom-
plish something during office hours,
which is mixed blessing when
things are too quiet we aren't making
any money, you know.
Wednesday af ter election we
sneaked away for a couple of days
to see a few of our grandchildren
and their relatives. 1t was a good
change, but even so we didn't escape
politics.
The State of Washington was still
from the election. The in
teresting thing about everything
heard, over the tousled heads of my
grandbabies was the fact that the
campaign in Washington had been
so much the same as in Montana.
They had the same issues-like the
better business climate-the tax sit
uation-unemployment compensation
and so forth.
My only conclusion is that it isn't
so much the philosophy of how taxes
are raised that bothers the conserva-
tives. 1t is a master minded nation
wide program against all taxes, with
the ultimate goal of retrenching on
all of the social welfare programs of
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1960-11-18

I am against government by stale
mate. 1t has impeded progress and
will continue to do so.
Maybe, if the people of Montana
consider a constitutional convention
we should look into the parliamentary
system for the state, whereby who
ever controls the legislative branch
controls the administrative branch.
Some form of party and philosophi-
cal responsibility would bring greater
meaning to the voting process, as well
as the administrative process.
The head of the new Republican
administration in Helena will have
to contend with his critics, but with
all of the states dailies, most of the
weeklies and all of the wealth in the
state behind him he can enter the
east wing of the Capitol with utmost
confidence.
What the daily press did for him
during the election they can un-
doubtedly do for him during his four
years in office.
The new Republican administra-
ton in Helena will have much easier
time of it than the new Democratic
administration in Washington.
The next four years can be most
interesting and exciting.
The American people will have to
be alert if they are to maintain their
proper place in society, for the theme
against us will be that everything we
try to do for ourselves, by ourselves
with our government is un-Christian,
and unpopular
The aim is to ease us back to where
we were 80 years ago with all of
those unalienable rights to be under
fed, unorganized, uneducated, un-
fortunate and undesirable.
Governor-elect Nutter presented
part of his political philosophy to
Montana farmers via a speech to the
Grain Growers last week, with an
impact resembling the kick of 40
mule team.
The "better business climate,
Flower taxes CLOVER cost of govern
ment" Governor promised to
push a wheat commission in the next
In the first major address follow
ng his election Nutter's first specific
promise is to create a new govern
nent agency that will put tax of
4 per bushel of wheat, on one of
most depressed industries.
Farmers are suffering as much, if
lot more, than any other industry.
Farmers spent 14@o more in 1859
han in 1852 to produce the food
hey raised. They got 1 90 less for
heir efforts for the same period.
Farm families are leaving the land at
IN alarming rate.
One-quarter of cent collected on
very bushel of wheat by any other
lame is still an additional tax to the
lready staggering wheat farmer.

While the pressing excitement of
the election is over the next four
years have little promise of calm.
The atmosphere will remain charged
and the battle will go on.
With a strong liberal president in
the White House, precarious bal
ance in Congress, the margin of vic
tory for Kennedy narrow, the country
tottering between prosperity and de-
preston and peace or war it will
behoove the American people to con-
tinue our interest in politics that was
created in the past nine months and
not withdraw into our shells as we
are so prone to do between elections.
President-elect Kennedy will in
deed require the elements of a man
of destiny in the next four years, and
if he is to fulfill his dreams for the
country the people are going to have
to help him.
We are going to have to keep a
close liaison with our congressman
and senators on the vital issues.
We are going to have to stand up
to perhaps the most violent pressures
in history because the close margin
for Kennedy is going to hearten his
opposition and the conservative ele-
ments are going to battle him down
to the line on his entire program.
The country can not stand a stale
mate for four years. and the mini
mum goal of the conservatives is 60
ing to be- stalemate.
The detectives of the conservatives
will be the breakdown of the liberal
program of Kennedy by discrediting
it in the eyes of the people and their
most effective weapon is through the
media, the press, ra-
dio and TV.
On the state level the conservatives
are in the drivers seat. The outlook
for what we can expect has not
from what the VOICE pre-
dicted before the election.
We can expect the push for less
services across the board from state |
agencies; cut backs in the unemploy-
nent compensation program with an
eye toward protecting the employers
n preference to employees; possible

By WILLIAM MORRIS

The hottest thing in mems
wear this year, according to an
article in the Wall Street Jour-
nal, is madras, which will ap-
pear both as shirting and as
sport Jacket material. So it be-
hooveS us to pass on the pro-
nunciation of this exotic ma
terial.' 1t may be pronounced
MAD-ruS, muh-DRASS or, if
you're feeling dreadfully posh,
muh-DRAHSS.
Surprisingly enough the
qualities which account for the
popularity of this fabric, which
is hand-loomed and dyed by
natives Of India, are such as
would spell utter failure for a
similar domestic material
Specifically, the colors Of true
madras are guaranteed to
bleed" and the fabric itself
Ahrinks, smells and fades. Still
it is greatly in demand-sup-
plies will be far short Of de-
mand this year-and one dealer
reports that. so far as his Gus
toners are concerned, "the
sooner the madras fades the
better they like it."
All Of which, to this disin-
terested observer, serves as
added proof of P. T. Barnum's
famous adage: There's q

Question: Is it right to say
something is funny when you
really mean odd? For instance /:
He had a funny habit of
scratching his ear before he
started to speak" II this were
said about a comedian I'd say
the habit might be funny, but
the word came up in connec-
ton with a mannerism Of our
teacher-and he's never con-
sciously funny!
Answer: Funny in the sense
of odd" or peculiar" is very
often heard Informally - in
conversation and the like
However. in formal English
such as speeches or printed
matter, funny should be used
only in the sense of comic" OF
humorous"
