Naive Students

Someone should suggest
that our student friends
greeting Adlai in South
America reflect on their cur
rent fate should they have re-
sided in Hungary, Ea st
Germany or Tibet and be-
haved in like manner.
One is led to believe that
the educational standards are
indeed low, or some students
quite naive to saw off the
limb on which they are
standing.
Doubtless much criticism
is justified and we will ac-
cept it as such, but little cred
ence is given to opinion by
such behavior. Its only pur-
pose is intimidation of the
peace = loving, do nothing
populace. Only when it is
gone do people hunger for
liberty.

The Emperor's New Clothes

I guess we've all read the story of
the great emperor and the wonderful
new suit whose praises were sung by
his slavish admirers. 1t required the
prejudice-free mind of an innocent boy
to proclaim the emperor stark naked,
which indeed he was. 1 lay no claim
to either boyhood Or innocence, but /
do shout that the new Presidents
inaugural speech, which has received
such universal acclaim, is as empty
as last years birds nest and naked
as my apple trees at the moment. CText

PV EDITOR.)
On whose authority and for what
reason do 1 make such strong and
offensive statement? Verse 81, Chapter
10 of Luke reads: I'm that hour Jesus
rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank
thee, Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, that thou hast bid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast
revealed them unto babes; even so,
Father; for so it seemed good in thy
sight.
None will deny that I am but babe
in the political, economic and social
wood. Impressive accommodations of
knowledge bear the name of wisdom,
but they can also be error and thus
become foolishness. Prudence, too, is

deception than to truth. I, too, rejoice

struggle for freedom
Mr.. Kennedys principal theme, so
dearly loved by a hate and fear crazed
people, was that we would not spare
the horses in defense of liberty. Spelled
with capital letter and surrounded
with flags and Bibles as a matter of

have reverted to the dark ages of
savagery. We now worship what really
amounts to NAME MAGIC. The people
before the beginning of the Christian
era believed in magic. They attributed
powers and substance to familiar OBJ
which they did not under
stand Down through the centuries,
the painful progress of truth has re-
moved many of the old superstitions,
but the human mind still reacts to the
unknown, faith departs and fear enters.
When fear enters, reason provides only
error. Truth comes only through the
light of loye and faith. Yes, we ignor-
antly and fearfully place our faith in

The wide disparity between the fig
ures presented by the railroad broth
erhoods and railroad companies on the
proposed merger to form the Great
Northern Burlington & Pacific Lines
is difficult to understand unless you
are of religious nature.
At special press conference after
the hearing by the House committee
last Thursday in the Governors re-
ception room the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific vice presidents
and other big shots explained that
they had included the factor of attri-
ton in their calculations. This brought
the loss of employment caused by
the merger from the thousands down
to only 500 who would not have jobs
because of the merger. The others
will have lost their jobs because of
death, disability or discharge.
Contrition arises from the sadness
caused by sin or ntrophy-disorgan
ization interfering with the love of
God-while contrition's companion,
attrition, springs from the fear of
Attrition as an instrument of man.

dent when the driver responsible for
the accident is without liability insur-
ance, has been introduced by Jen-
sen of Lake, Adams, Bardanouve,
Asbj Johnson and Regain, under HB
157.
HB 157 contemplates the charging
of an additional 81 on each drivers
license to set up state fund of
$250,0OO. If, by June 80, 1868 the
fund exceeds $250,OOO the 81 added
fee would be discontinued for a two
year period.
This bill is quite similar to legisla-
ton sponsored in previous sessions
by former Sen. Arthur Hagenston.
Behind his sponsorship lay consider
able research into the number of
serious accidents where the driver
responsible for the accident was with
out liability insurance and there con-
sequently was no means of recovery
available to the victim or his family.
Many a widow with children has been
left penniless because of such acct
dents and has had to turn to public
assistance to maintain her family. I.
The fund contemplated would be
known as "an unsatisfied judgment
fund.- and would be under the super
vision of the State Treasurer.

TO AID CITIES, COUNTIES
ON STREETS, ROADS

lib 1873 by Reardon, will not create
a warm feeling for the Silver Bow
senator among Highway-o-philes. HB
1873 takes cognizance of the fact that
much automobile travel is done on
city streets and county roads, yet
the State Highway Department gets
all of the gasoline tax.
This bill would restrict the amount
of each gasoline tax dollar going to
the Highway to 85 per cent. Seven
and one-half cents of each gas tax
dollar would go to Incorporated cities
and like amount to the counties for
road building and maintenance pur-
poses.
lib 344, by Pierce and Lundgren,
is another bill concerning highways.
Under it's terms, the Public Employees
and Teacher Retirement boards could
invest, Subject to the approval of
the State Board of Land Commission
ers'' up to 10 per cent of trust funds
under their supervision in the pur-
chase of land "for the future use of
the State Highway system ;" Re-
purchase of the lands from either
board by Highway would include prin-
cipal plus an annual interest rate to,
be negotiated between the parties to
each transaction.
Enacted, this bill would provide
working capital for Highway to pur-
chase right-of-way well ahead of
construction, thereby eliminating a
number of binds the department
has found itself in ever since the be-
ginning of the Interstate program
four years ago. I'D

Research Lab
Bill introduced
By Rep. Judge

Legislation which its sponsor has
termed "vital step toward indus
trial and agricultural development in
Montana, is now under consideration
in the House.
The bill, HB $50, by Judge Cd
Lewis & Clark), would provide for
a utilization research laboratory at
Montana State College. 1t calls for
a $4,000 appropriation to be used
solely 10 encourage and assist in the
discovery and development of new
uses for present crops and products
grown in Montana.
Judge stated, "This bill if enacted
could result in new industry and jobs
for Montana. 1t would also be boon
10 the agricultural industry in Mon
tana."
Preliminary research at Montana
State College has uncovered many
new commercial applications for Mon
tana products. Industry is very in
terested in this preliminary work yet
due to lack of equipment sufficient
amounts of these products cannot be
obtained for testing by industry. 1t
has been proved that starch and syrup
can be produced from barley which
is far cheaper than corn. Other prod
ucts which have valuable commercial
are yeast protein, glu-
tanic acid, mustard, high erucic acid
and weed seeds.
This important research has. been
stopped due TO lack of funds and
equipment. The appropriation if con-
sidered an expenditure will fail, if
considered an investment in the flu
ture of Montana should pass, Judge

frightened rabbits who work because
they are frightened not to work.
The stabilizing factor, the rail-
road unions, give the more rational
approach to the future affects of the
merger which will be applied for
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission next month. After the spring
stockholders meetings when approval
of the merger is given, they contend
there will be thousands of rail work
ers on the way to no jobs; freight
service will be drastically curtailed,
and many spur lines will have their
tracks pulled up within the five-year
period which management leaves at
triton to care for. This is when you
compare the present standards of
rail service with what is proposed,
not what you will have become ac-
customed to five years from now.
1t was rather prophetic that a
speaker had warmed the Montana Sem
ate that morning that ''the peoples
capitalism is failing. The Great
Northern Burlington Pacific Lines
is the breakdown of the competitive
system in Northwestern America
not that rail management has ever be-
lieved any of their propagandists
that tell of the marvels competition
has built in this area.
Quite the contrary this is the fourth
attempt to gain a complete strangle
hold on the economy of the Columbia
River and Chicago interchange of
goods. 1t began with the schemes of
Jim Hill in 1908 and 1909. Then in
the 1920s and 3Os the government
mergers by districts were considered
but the holdings in Burlington would
not be given up by the Northwest
lines.
In 1861 the paralysis of monopoly
will render the regulating agencies
state and federal-down to the status
of errand boys because there will be
no competition upon which to base
their rulings or standards. Then these
latter day Jim Hills will be in the
seat of the gods and will be able to
use every vile means to wiring tribute
from their captives. The attrition they
offer you now as solution to life
in this area will be replaced by heav-
Ter bondages as their lust for power
and money, money, money, increases.
Unless the contrition of the brother
hoods prevails over the railroads at

is stopped by responsible stockholders
and officials, years of strife will fol-

S1.0O Minimum
Wage Proposal
Before House

Several thousand grossly underpaid
Montana workers would have their
minimum wage increased to at least
a dollar under terms of HB 313 by
Stimatz, Daniels, Picard and Sheldon.
Although organized labor has, oyer
the years, been principal sponsor
of minimum wage legislation, very
few members of labor unions would
benefit from the $1.0O minimum be-
cause contracts of almost all unions
have minimums substantially above
that figure. 9w
However, HB 313 would materially
help mattresses, laundry workers,
store clerks and others in the smaller
towns of the state where wages run
as low as IS cents an hour in this
period of unprecedented high prices.
In past sessions, similar proposals
have made the grade in the House,
only to die in the Senate. In 1859
the bill was killed by a 27-26 margin
in the upper chamber.
HB 313 has number of excep-
tions, including t'domestics", workers
employed by charitable and religious
organizations, minors under IS, part
time and piecework employees, agri-
cultural workers, etc.

ASSESSMENT BILL HAS
UNUSUAL SPONSORSHIP

One bit of news generally over
| looked last week concerned the joint
sponsoring of a bill by two of the
most opposite of opposites in the
House-Reps. Jerome Anderson (R-
Yellowstone) and Francis Barda-
nouve (D-Blaine). Capital wags are
still scratching their heads over what
ever prompted those two to get close
enough together, long enough, to CO.
sponsor HB 158.
HB 158, briefly stated, places re-
sponsibility on the taxpayer to sub
NIT full and complete inventory
of his real and personal property to
the assessor for assessment purposes.
Exposure of the taxpayers failure
to make complete confession to the
assessor could leave him liable to
fine of 500 to $4,000 along with
being dragged before the assessor by
the sheriff = and paying all costs
attendant thereto for the command
performance.
