plants of farmers. He stated the
case Of Carl Fink. Raymond, as
an example. Fink had received a
SCI feed loan in October, was cut
to $50 in November, to $40 in De-
cember, received no feed loan in
January and $40 in February.
Laursen stated that there are many
cases like it, that those farmers
are cup against it," and don't know
what to do.
"When the program of buying
feed THROUGH the government was
put on" Griffin explained, "our in
tentions were to encourage them
to hold the best of the foundation
stock, just the she stock. It was
done for the purpose of giving
them a chance to hang on to work
horses, milk cows and some of the
prime stuff, to carry them thru"
The fact that hundreds Of thou
sands Of cattle have been turned
over to the government by Mon
tana farmers ard that in all the

MILK CONTROL
BOARD TOBE SET
UP In MONTANA
Bill Provides For Powers to
Fix Prices

HELENA.-A milk control board
with powers to fix prices Of milk
will be introduced in the state as
a result of Senate Bill 1853, passed
by the house last week.
The board will be composed of
the chief of the dairy commission
of the state department of agri-
culture, one member appointed by
the governor and Of the executive
officer of the state livestock san
itary board, who is to be chairman.
The bill provides that it is the
business of the milk control board
to supervise and regulate tbs pro-
duction ard distribution of milk in
the state, to investigate the cost
Of production, and determine fair
prices.
The board will have the power
to set the minimum price paid by
milk dealers to the milk produc-
ing farmers, and may also fix the
wholesale and retail prices to the
consumer.
Of course, the bill specifies that
ga reasonable r. turn on the in
vestment Of the milk dealer" will
be taken into consideration when
prices are determined. The bill
has no provision which will COM
pei the board to take into con-
sideration the return of the pro-
ducers' investment, which is char
acteristic Of all state milk control
boards.
Tax Farmers
The milk control board will be
sustained on a tax of one per cent
( per every hur dred pounds of milk
sold by farmers and dealers. The
I dealers will also have to paw a SIC

week, customarily the period be-
tween orders, had not expired"
Cases of this kind have been the
cause for an increasing num0 r Of
complaints about the local relief
administration. They are the cause
that organized groups, such as the
Farmers Union, the United Farm
ers League and the Farmer-Labor
Council, charge discrimination and
injustice in the administration of
relief funds sent into the county
to alleviate suffering and WANT.
Removal of Administrators
Demanded
Demonstrations and meetings
have been held by these organiza-
tions and the immediate removal
of Relief Administrator E. R. Bat
tien has been demanded. So far
the state relief office at Bismarck
has refused this demand.

would have been necessary.
The committee charges that ga
great many complaints have been
filed with it are not sustained by
facts after further investigation"
A charge that is absolutely ridi-
culOus when in the same document
Re committee admits chat there
is need of closer and more COM
plete investigation of relief work
in many counties Of Montana than
this committee may take" In fact,
it seems perfectly safe to conclude
that if the committee has made
any further investigation at all,
it has been completely one-sided;
q withdrawing job Of which the
report is eloquent proof.
Unable to maintain its report as
a conclusive one, the COMMITTEES
recommends that further investiga-
ton SHOULD be made by persons
trained in such work in the ser
vice of the department of justice;
and the committee requests that
this house act in conformity with
its recommendations and make an
official request of the proper de-
partment to send investigators to
the state of Montana to clarity
and set right such unsatisfactory
details of relief work as now ex-
ist."

WASHINGTON. - Washington
working class families are being

work.
"For instance, take man who
earns $50 a month-and there are
many in that class heIe if he
has wife ard three children, we
would like them to have four
quarts of milk day, one for each

They can't spend half of their food
