State Supreme Court Rules Capital
 May Re Relocated by Initiative

Once the change has been made, as t has here ethe state government having been in operation for more an three Nears4, then that which aided ia bringing it about has per formed it's function. There is no basis for assuming that such transitional measure-spe specifically, the provision for seat Of govern ment-shouid then have any en- during or permanent quality which would make it an integral part of the fundamental structure of gov ernment established by the peo- pie of the state.
 In his dissenting opinion, Jus tiee Arend said he could not agree that the capital location section of the constitution was transitional measure.
 "I am of the opinion that such a plain pronouncement as Section 20 can be regarded only as an integral part of our constitution and can be changed only in the manner =nraVidad in the constitution for the amendment of any other integ- ral part of that document,' he wrote.
 Those methods are by a consti- tutional convention, followed by a ratification of the proposed amend men. by vote of the people. or by proposal that has obtained a tWo-thirds vote of each house of the legislature, and is adopted by q vote of the people in a statewide election.
 Under the decision reached by the majority (of the State Supreme Court this day, the duration of the location of the state capital in any particular place becomes most =un- certain,' he added.
 Tt may now be decided by the initiative that the capital shall be removed from Juneau to place somewhere in western Alaska: bu, before the removal can actually be accomplished under the proposed bill, another measure may be 1ni- tiated by the people at any time designating a still different loca- tion' ,
 In Anchorage, Wade commented
 From my understanding of the opinion, it is my belief that the initiative will have to be placed or the Nov. 6 ballot, but I do not want to make a positive statement until after I confer with the At torney General.
 Juneau's mayor, Laurls Parker said:
 We will be happy to fight it ir the general election. We will take our case to the people. We have been in the field before and arc not afraid.

 Court. in ? to decision, Thurs day held that the portion Of the state constitution which desisnates Juneau as the eanital of Alaska may be changed b. use of the in- itiatlve.
 The court also held that a cap ital relocation initiative denied place on Tuesdays primary cleo ton ballot. should be presented for a vote of the people in the Nov ember general election.
 At the same time the high court overturned a Superior Court iudg ment which prohibited Secretary of State Hugh Wade from placing capital relocation initiative on the ballot.
 Ii ordered the judgment rever- sed, the injunction dissolved. and the case remanded with directions that a declaratory judgment be en- tered to the effect that Article 15, Section % of the Constitution may amended by law enacted by the people through the initia- tive.
 Justice Arend Dissented
 The majority opinion was hand- ed down by Chief Justice Buell A. Nesbett and Justice John H. Di- mond Justice Harry Q. Arend dissented in that portion of the op- inion which held that the portion of the state constitution designat- ing Juneau as the capital of AL aska was a transitional portion and thus subject to change by use of the initiative.
 The appeal to the Supreme Court was on a Superior Court injunc- ton issued by Judge James A. von der Heydt last spring against plac- ing an initiative on the primary election ballot which called for moving the capital from Juneau to site west of Yakutat.
 The initiative was sponsored by an Anchorage area group, the Cap ital Information Committee, and the appeal on the lower court de- cision was carried to the Supreme Court by Dr. Merritt Starr of An chorage and Clarence Bailey of Palmer.
 In issuing the injunction, Judge von der Heydt also ruled in a de- claratory judgment that the con- titution cannot be changed by use of the initiative.
 The injunction had been sought by the cities of Juneau and Doug las, joined by B individuals from various sections of the state.
 The majority opinion, written by Justice Dimond, said:
 We hold that the method of amending Section 20 is not gov erned by provisions relating to constitutional amendments. The express purpose of the article of which it is a part, as stated in the preamble, to to provide an or derly transition from territorial to a state form of government Transition Is Over
 "A transition is passage or change from one status to another.

Miller stated.
Granting that an appropriation
of $48 million for schools seems
unlikely, she said that nevertheless
the $4S million will have to be pro-
vided, whether by state funds or
otherwise.
"Montanans will not permit schools
to be closed for lack of money, and
recent history proves that local prop
erty has been shouldering increasing
ly greater responsibility for the
schools. Presumably this trend will
continue if state funds are lacking"
she said.

In approaching the anniversary
of United Nations next Wednes-

times: How does one so write that
the UN, instead of being an or
ganization remote to most of us,
can be described as something liv-
ing and vital whose success is of
overpowering concern to each and
every individual in Montana, in
the United States, in the World?
1t is not enough to point to
proclamations by either President
hover which in essence say that
the 'UN is our last best hope of
peace" 1t is not enough to criti-
else those who in their shortsight-
edness and ignorance, condemn the
United Nations for its failure to
become a perfect mechanism to
enhance international understand

Americas ambassador to the
United Nations, Adlai Stevenson,
recently appealed to the working
men and women of America:

We know that Gov. Tim Bah
cock can fly-flit around all
tarnation-but Monday at the
Board of Examiners meeting a
new talent was discovered. He
can walk tout, that is).
What made the Governor take a
walk?
Attorney General Forrest Ander-
son came to the meeting prepared
with notes and Jean Handel, his
pretty red-headed receptionist, to re-
cord what he was going to talk about.
The first grip Anderson tried
on the Governor was the Billings
armlock. The Governor came out
looking bad. How can he be in
opposition to the badly needed Ii
brary at Eastern Montana Col
lege?*
Babcock crawled out by claiming
that the Board of Education had the
say about what buildings were needed
at the Billings college.
Before Babcock could crawl to
the ropes Anderson shifted to head
lock and began a discussion of the
General Fund timetable.
Babcock thought this hold was
more than anyone dare throw on him
because wasn't he the one who put
the state in the black.
The AG put the pressure on. No,
when the Republicans took over the
administration we were SIS million
in the black and for the past five
years the red ink has decorated the
General Fund ledger.
The Democratic Legislatures impo-
sition of several types of tax in
creases in 1859 were the reason that
we are able to stop Juggling the fig
ures in the Treasurer's office.

MILES CITY-A, comprehen-
sive report on present and fu-
ture school costs was made by
Supt. of Public instruction Har-
riet Miller Tuesday night at a
public meeting sponsored by
the American Association of
University Women.
Gotten school costs are obscured
by details, or by failure to tell the
whole story. Let's look at the big
picture, with all the important facts"
Miss Miller urged.
According to the State Superin-
tendent, in the two years from 1861
to 1868, Montana public, schools are
expected to cost about $179 million.
In round figures, this will be paid
by approximately 500 million in state
funds, $40 million in federal grants
and $3.50 million in local property
taxes, she said.
EXPECTS $2O6 MILLION
OUTLAY IN NEXT TWO YEARS
SIN the next two years, at the
present rate of enrolment growth
and of decline in the purchasing
power of the school dollar, costs may
be expected to reach $206 Million"
Miss Miller predicted.
eff local property taxes for
schools in the next two years are
held to the present amount of $3.50
million, and if federal funds con-
tinue to provide about $40 Million"
she continued, "some $66 million
in state money will be needed to
close the gap"
The alternative to more state mon
ey is an increase in local taxes, the
State Superintendent said.
Some of the sources of state reve-
nue. for schools have been fairly con-
slant. Miss Miller explained. These,
she said, are the Interest and Income
fund which provides about So million
per biennium, and the personal in
come tax, corporation license tax and
other miscellaneous sources which
provide about $40 million per BIZ

noisy fiscal policies of Republican
ism.
The AG just kept right on talking
although all sorts of rude interjec-
tions calculated from the Governor.
Babcock looked down at his shoe
and was about to take it off and
pound the big oaken table in the
Governors Reception Room when
he remembered that the redhead
was twirling those double ooomlots
out on her spiral pad.
Babcock threw in the towel and
for the first time in the history of
the state Governor left an official
meeting because he was unable to
handle the politics of our state func-
tions.
Tramp, tramp, tramp he marched
across the rug and opened the door
in the woodwork to his northeast
corner office to pout for 20 minutes
before the meeting could be con-
tinued
Darn that AG anyway! Darn the
Secretary of State! Darn the press!
Darn the redhead No, wait minute,
that's pretty shade of red. Always
was partial to redheads.-FS
There is a grave question whether
either Gov. Babcock or Cong. Bat
tin even believe in higher educa-
tion for Montana youth. A check
of the 1859 House Journal, when
both were state representatives
from Yellowstone county, shows
that both of them voted AGAINST
the University system appropria-
ton bill. (See lib 536, roll call on
page 721.) Had a majority of
House Democrats and Republicans
agreed with the aforementioned ir-
responsible pair, the University
system would have had to close
its doors as of 11:59 PM, June
80, 1959.-HLB

SCHOOL BOARDS CAN'T
CONTROL STORK

Certainly economy in school OPP
Grafton is a goal that must be dill
gently pursued, but school boards
have no control over increasing en-
rollments and initiation, and we must
realize that, even with the most care
full penny pinching, school costs can
not help but increase Miss Miller
said.
She reminded her listeners that
one of the major goals of the citi-
zens' committees in developing the
1949 foundation program was to in
sure the fair sharing of school costs
between state and local levels.
''The extent to which the foun-
dation program has departed from
this principle is reflected today in
the disproportionate share of school
costs paid from local sources. More
state money is urgently needed if
the local property owner is to be
treated fairly in the ALLEGATION of
responsibility for school support"
Miss Miller concluded.
