Montana Lawmakers and the Code of the West

Lawmakers in Montana are riding herd on legislation
to brand the maxims of the mythic American cowboy
into an official state creed.

This "Code of the West" comes from
"Cowboy Ethics" by James P. Owen

The 10 principle "Code of the West" is:
"Ride for the brand"
"Talk less and say more"
"Always finish what you start"
"Live each day with courage"
"Take pride in your work"
"Do what has to be done"
"Be tough but fair"
"When you make a promise, keep it"
"Remember that some things aren't for sale"
"Know where to draw the line"
