The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-02-17

The constitutional amendment al
lowing the people to decide on the
question of capital punishment was
given a Communication of sentence
on Saturday and killed again on Sun
day in a 42-43 vote.
HB 81, introduced by Rep. Conklin
D-Cascade) was first killed and then
revived late Saturday. Saturday had
been a sort of weird day, anyhow.
First there was the debate ON wheth-
er butterflies should be restricted on
the amount of land they can own, a
debate that brought out the worst in
some people. Then closely on the
heels of that moral debacle came the
anti-capital punishment bill. 1t was
revived Saturday and debated again
Sunday.
This bill was opposed for couple
of very different reasons, one being
given by Magnus Aasheim who
thought this a matter for the legisla-
ture to decide. He said it was up to
them to have the intestinal forti-
tude' to do it. He spoke against
capital punishment but said he didn't
believe the representatives should
pass the buck. The next legislature
can pass an anti-capital punishment
bill that will be effective as soon as
a constitutional amendment. Rep.
Stimatz (D-Silver Bow opposed 81
for the same reason.
Rep. Kolar (R-Judith Basin) said
he thought 'legalized killing was OK"
if it has an impact on potential killers.
"TS MURDER, EVEN IF LEGAL"
However. humanitarian appeals |
were made by Ray Loman (R-Lake)
Rep. Hazelbaker R-Beaverhead) and |
Rep. Keller (R-Cascade) against
capital punishment. Loman opposed
this means of punishment because
taking a life is murder even if it
is legal. Loman said the capital form
of punishment is no longer deter
rent because many juries will acquit
q person rather than take a chance
On the death penalty being given.
Hazelbaker said he thought it
was fitting on Sunday for the leg
lbidluFc TO ASK themselves WHICH |
of the Ten Commandments they
remembered the best.
Loman answered Kolar by saying,
f there is any value in capital pun
shment as a deterrent, statistics do
lot indicate it. Above and beyond
hat he said, if one innocent person
we're executed the law was wrong,
md there are many instances to prove
his has happened.
A most unusual atmosphere per-
AIDED the House on Saturday, when
sussel Conklin (D-Cascade), author
# the bill spoke, outlining his rea-
ons for proposing HB 81.
The House sat in silence, as if
hose who opposed it could not really
ear to hear themselves say the things
hey would have to say against it.
When, in this atmosphere of the
cath chamber they killed the bill,

Death Penalty To Hang Around
For AT Least Two More Years

moved to strike the enacting clause
because this bill is still hanging
and no other reason.
The word changing" rang through
the chambers.
Conklin said he had introduced the
bill because this form of punishment
is nolonger used, that it has not been
used in Montana for 20 years. He
said, Capital punishment is so final
it could be exercised only when all
the right is on one side and none
on the other.
The question the legislators had
to ask themselves Conklin said, was
"Do you believe in legal killing or
not and do you believe the people of
Montana should have their say in this
matter which is barbarous custom?"
The only other words spoken on
Saturday were by Rep. Stranahan ID
Chouteau) who said he had a rifle
in his house that he never used, but
he would fight to keep it from being
taken away from him.
The bill was killed in committee of
the whole on Saturday. The motion
of Anderson to strike the enacting
clause passed, then when Conklin
moved to segregate it from the COM
mittee of the whole report in an at
tempt to keep the bill alive it was
saved by 46-45 roll call vote, to be
killed again on Sunday.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The
stock market took it's first loss
in six weeks as the Cub n
fighting resulted in tension be-
tween the United States and
Russia this week.
The Associated Press average
of go stocks declined 2.20 to
243.30. The Dow industrials
closed at 685.26 for a loss Of
8.46 on the week.
Poor first quarter earnings
reports, as expected, had an
impact on investor sentiment
and there were other factors
which contributed to the de-
cline.
One Of these was that six
months has elapsed since the
market began its upSwing. This
provided a chance to eStab-
lish long term capital gains,
At the same time, the market
had risen to new highs and
a number of analysts recon-
mended that investors pause
to re-evaluate their holdings
In some cases they urge d
switches from stocks which
have had big gains to others
which still seemed to have
room to rise.
The five most active stocks
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were Sperry
Rand, up 324at 1924 on COS, ,4OO
shares; San Diego Imperial, up
