thereafter. The defensive mechanism
of the fraternalism of the group is
uppermost.
The emotional affiliation arising
out of belonging to the legislative
council is dangerous to the democratic
processes. The legislative council, l
have always contended is undemo-
cratic and puts government behind
the closed doors of 365 days year
12-man group.
The introduction of SB FOG in my
estimation should be the beginning
of the end of the legislative council.
The senatorial tyranny involving
a state labor leader was spread in
huge headlines across the face of
the Helena newspaper, with descrip-
tive columns below it.
The tyranny involving the Helena
business man and the members of the
legislative council, much more dam
aging physically to the participants,
received an inside story about "Boys
will be boys'' and kissing and MAX
ing up'', and did not mention single
name of those involved. 1t was as
much the outcome of legislation as
the phone call that brought about
the disgraceful senatorial action of
the freshman senator. '

tive poked lobbyist in the side of

the "Boys will be Boys story and

Thomas Jefferson often warned
against the tyranny of the Legislative
arm of government. After sitting 60
days watching the 37th performance
under the dome, Jefferson's wisdom
is the more meaningful.
Example after example can be
cited, from the most publicized Incl
dent of the freshman senator who
dragged the leader of one of the
states largest organizations across
the face of the legislative process to
cripple that organizations program,
to the single man who comes to the
legislature to try and discuss an is
sue and gets the back of the head of
the senators and representatives.
But the most dangerous thing that
has ever come out of legislature in
my experience was the unanimous
consent ON the 59th day to intro
duce SD 206, conceived in revenge,
born of vindictiveness and used for
punitive purposes.
1t is my opinion SD 2O6 was intro
duced Wednesday morning for no
other reason than to prove that no.

Introduction of SB 206 turns the
legislative council into a govern

longed you are a member of a
brotherhood"
The introduction of SB 2O6 arose
out of fist fight involving two ex-
members of the council and the own
err of Helena printing establish
ment. The fight was allegedly over
an expression of appreciation by the
Helena businessman to the Republi-
can majority leader of the House for
having killed a resolution of the
council. 1t occurred during the late
dinner hour at a local night club.
1t resulted in the two ex-members of
the council coming out badly dam
with broken nose and
the other with serious mouth in
juries.
A mental vision of the fracas
brings to mind fight between a
Saint Bernard and couple of
poodles. The Helena businessman is

Sees Merit In money
Coop" Idea

Dear Editor:
Because the total wealth and earning
capacity of the U. S. government and
the American people backs our paper
money, the gold standard is a myth.
Therefore money co-ops, mentioned
in this session of Montana Legislature,
aren't bad idea, adding few twists
the money racketeers would obviously
not consider.
Why not establish Money CO-ops
which operate directly between the
government and the people?
This is the most logical solution to
our money problems. We all know that
loans are secured by our wealth and
our jobs, not the gold buried in Fort
Knox. Therefore we should not be
charged interest on our own wealth
but instead pay small service charge
to cover cost of operating our local
Money Coop.
When we borrow money we put up
everything We own and the banks don't
put up one thing. Interest paid to the
American banking system is the same
as paying money to organized crime
through a protection racket The Fed
eral Reserve System is not the Federal
Government but a private banking
monopoly with tenacles reaching
around the world through international
banking cartels and local banks They
are the hatchers of initiation, depres-
sion and war; responsible for the ma
tional debt and tire heavy tax burden
on the people. For more information

To First Cage Title

Spingarn, fifth ranked In
The Stars final poll. went into

the Stays, 57-52, also at
Maryland.
Bing Triggers Attack
David Bing's sparkling play
making triggered the Green
Waves attack. Bing was par
ticularly hot in the second
half, sinking II Of his az points.
After the lead had switched
back and forth in the first
three periods, Spingarn took
control in the final period.
Bing's basket and Ollie john
sons. two free throws gave the
Wave q 1916 lead early in the
final period and they were off
and running. John Austin, who
led DeMatha with 20 points,
sank q field goal with az min
utes remaining and that was
the last points Of the night for
DeMatha.
Bing made the first shot of q
two-Shot foul with 2:0S to go
but missed the second. How
ever, johnson rebounded the
errant shot and stuffed it back
in and was fouled in the proc
eSs. Ollie calmly sank the free
throw and it was $3.50 Spin
garn. Free throws by Garland
Logan and johnson and then
two easy layupS with stolen
passes by Bing wound up the
scoring for Spingarn.

from the floor while the Stays
hit on only 29 per cent.
