In introducing the measure, Rep.
Schwinden told the press that "along

the problem of financing political
campaigns-th more costly a poll
teal campaign, the farther the ordi-
nary citizen is removed from getting
responsible representation. In 1907,
President Theodore Roosevelt pro-
posed federal financing of national
political campaigns. Present day

Senate Demos Give
Dawson Republican
Benefit Of the Doubt

At special ceremony yesterday
afternoon, Chief Justice James T..
Harrison swore in James N. Shaw
as Dawson county senator, after
special investigation of Shaw's res
identical qualifications by the Con-
stitution, Elections and Federal
Relations Committee.
Despite the fact that his insur-
ance policy and the recent county
reclassification list show the house
claimed as his residence as vacant
the committee found that:
"His actions during the IL
months immediately preceding his
election were such as to cause
doubts in the minds of some peo-
pie that he was actually living in
Dawson county;
THAT no protest was made of
qualifications for the office of
senator from Dawson county until
the Senate Democratic caucus of
January /, 1861, and
THAT residence, being a mat
ter of intention is a very difficult
fact to prove or disp<ove, and this
being a unique and unusual factual
situation, such question be resolved
in favor of the senator-elect.''

High Court Rules Fenfon UsUrped
Authority of Assessing Agent

The State Supreme Court in &
four-to-one decision last week ruled
against Yellowstone Pipeline Com
pany in the latter's prolonged fight
to force the State Board of Equal
cation to reduce it's interstate prop.
erty assessments by approximately
half.
This is the case, it will be recalled
upon which the State Board in the
spring of 1859 relied in slashine
1nter-county assessed values of all
utilities by total of approximately
$25 million.
1t was this action by the State
Board that led to a statewide con-
troversy as local property owners
were forced to pick up the check
for increased taxes due to the SUBJ
stsntial tax cut given Montana
Power, Mountain States Tel. &
TEL, the railroads and other utili-
ties by the State Board.
Previous to District Judge Fenton
having ruled in favor of Yellowstone
and against the State Board and yell
lowstone county, the state taxing
agency had been attempting with
little success for several years to
persuade the counties to increase
extremely low assessments, particu-
larly on real property, to little
closer to 'full and true value". In
one instance, that of Toole county,
the board interceded directly and
forced unrealistically low real prop
erty values up considerable amount.
This board action was upheld in the
courts.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
by Justice Harrison, Angstman and
Castles, and District Judge Lobe sit
ting in for Justice Bottomly, the
court found that Judge Fenton had

Republicans
ShUn Dieting
This Session

The "Feed Bill'' has unanimously
passed the House. Norris Nichols (R-
Ravalli), chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee, said it might have
to be amended upwards.
The Democratic minority leader,
Kermit Daniels, complimented the
Republicans for recognizing their re-
sponsibility to orderly governmental
procedures this session in sharp con-
trast to the harrassment they in
dulged in the last time.
Daniels complimented Republi-
cans for latter two years of re-
wlection and soul searching finally
decided to accept the opinion of
the Attorney General.
In 1859, the present Speaker,
Hawks, and Majority Leader Ander-
son along with 23 other Republicans
voted against the feed bill. Five Re-
publicans voted for it.
While Republicans have their poll
tical machinery in a well-oiled con-
dition, the procedural processes are
still begged down.

ocratic majority floor leader in 1859,
keeps the show on the road and the

/ Lets look at Montana's exper-
fence. In 1914, all candidates for
governor spent about $4,000 for
the general election. By 1860 the
| primary cost alone exceeded
| $4,000 for an office where the
four-year salary is less than that
amount.
'In the 1860 primary race for the
Senate in Montana, reported ex-
penses were over 50,000-one
reported over $4,000. Are we going
to eventually see Senate races in
Montana such as one primary in
Florida where 2 million dollars was
spent?
"While it may not be necessarily
true that He who pays the piper,
names the tune, have serious mis-
givings about the loss of responsibility
to the average citizen when a political
candidate is financed primarily by
few large contributors.
"HB FL is not as far-reaching as
that introduced in the U. S. Congress
by Senator Neuberger-his proposal
called for federal contributions to
political campaigns.
"By allowing up to $25 in political
contributions to be deductible for
income tax purposes said Schwind-
en-, cit is my hope that the average
Montana citizen will be inclined to
help the party or candidate of his
choice.
This would have two far reach
ing consequences. 1t would create
greater public interest in the
political process of government,
and would also free the candidate
to large degree from reliance on
a few large contributors-be they
individuals, corporations or labor
groups"
