proach they have been using upor
themselves. This futile soul-searchinl
has come about because they have
approached lawmaking on a persona
prejudice rather than a general ap-
plication of principles of the greatest
good for the great number of people
who must continue to live in this
state after they have gone home.
Of course there have been out
standing exceptions to this rule.
Wednesday Sen. A. Roland Melon
nell (R-Sweetgrass), took on the
judges of the state and rallied the
cowboys against their attempt to grab
chunk of general fund money to
aggrandize their pensions. Pressure
had been brought to bear upon the
entire Senate by the Bar Association
and the judges individually. McDon-
nell hit them with some elementary
government principle. The Senate
was not going to be told what to do
by other branches of the government.
They would act separately.
Other issues have not been as
clear cut. When the cowboys get
to wrangling about brucellosis or
state lands there are no simple
answers.
HAIL STORM WARNING
However on the principle of funds
the democratically controlled Senate
will very likely demonstrate this
principle. The state reve-
nues are not held in common but in
trust. The suggestions of Nutter and
the Republican House to raid funds
such as the Hail Insurance to make
up for the supposed indebtedness of
the state will receive a very chilly
welcome on the floor of the Senate.
The Senate is unlike the House in
that half its members are holdovers
and need not find momentary solu-
tions to the ills of the state. They
can come again in two years to look
at the way taxes are being used to
promote our general we'll being. 1t

er's office are neatly totaled up if we

Civil Service Booster

Robert E. Hampton, named by Pres
ident Kennedy as the Democratic
member of the Civil Service Commission,
is a Federal personnel expert who
sincerely believes that Government
service is not only advantageous to
those who enter it, but an honor and a
privilege to be coveted. Having dis
tinguiShed himself in public service,
he is well qualified to advise others in
this regard. His new job as one of the
three commissioners guarding the in
tegrity Of the merit system will give
him wider opportunities to use his
talents in the personnel field.
Mr.. Hampton, a Republican, will
complete the bipartisan makeup Of the
commission required by law. (The two
other members are Democrats) How
ever, he entered Federal service under
the Truman administration as tenn
porary vice consul in Germany, serving
later in that regime in the Department
of State. The Eisenhower administra-
ton recognized his abilities as a per-
sonnet specialist, first using him in the
State and Defense Departments and
later as White House assistant ON
personnel matters. When President
Kennedy took over, Mr.. Hampton re-
signed, but soon was called back as a
presidential conSultant on adminiStra-
