Of the Czarist Russia Is now a
priority project of Nikita Krush-

of Stain. not even an inscription

Stains statues. once the glory

been dismantled and destroyed.
His pictures have been torn down
and replaced by those OF the
nightly MIR. K Streets and cities
have been renamed as have all
other geographical locations that
bore any relation To his name
and memory. And most signifi-
cant Of all. Stalin's once enshrin-
ed remains have been removed
from its honored place beside
that of Leuin in the great mosnr-

The question OF whether or not
the new Photographic drivers IL
ccnse Law Is constitutional has
arisen and Is now being argued.
The question vas put 10 the Su-
p-eme Court this week and Is
being given close scrutiny by
attorneys and Judges.
The argument, so IL seems, has
come out Of a 27-27 tie vote at the
legislative session, and which was
broken by 1t Governor Tim Bah
cock, who presides as Senate
President. IL was Babcock's vote
that was responsible for the en-
sctment Of the law.
Now the question arises whe-
Their or not the vote was consti-
tutionzl in that there are con-
flicting statues. one of which
states that no bill shall become
a law unless a majority vote of
all the members Of each house
pass upon IL Another section
states that no officer of either
OF the three branches Of the gov
eminent, legislative, executive,
or judicial shall act in any other
capacity other than that which
they are elected or appointed &c
serve.
II all SINNERS down 10 whether
or not Mr.. Babcock is legally
member of the Senate in his ca
pacity as president ;. We would
say, "Yes" but Montana en-
Joys the reputation of having
about the screwiest laws Of any
state in the Union So !
Anyway. the Photographic IL
cense law may be a good one
and help TO identity a lot Of
rsscals as well as 10 spprehend
a lot of drivers who are operating
on licenses other than their own
or who have hsd their Licenses
revoked
While we believe the law 10 be
good, we can't get over the feel
ing that drivers will feel that
the license is more Of an l. ID
card than . drivers license ).
In fact. II viii probably be the
women who will register the LOUD
est complaints based on the well
known and well advertised fact
that passport photographs never
do the holder justice"
