DISPLAY TRAINS
 TOUR POSTPONED
More Time Needed to De- velope Space Says
 Willard Rogers

Connecticut's industrial display train, designed to exhibit to more than half of the states of the Union the products manufactured here, will not leave on Its proposed tour as originally scheduled, Governor Wilbur L. Cross has been notified by the Connecticut Publicity com- mission, of which Willard B. Rogers of Hartford is chairman and of which F. Vincent Maloney, publish CT of the Waterbury Democrat is a member, that the Connecticut dis play train will not start out until the spring.
 According to MT. Rogers there has been active interest with many com panies taking space in the train but 1t is not as yet as really represen- tative of the state as originally de- sired. To fully develop the repre- sentation on the train needs more time, according to Chairman Rogers more time than is now available

 gressman Smith Checking Matter - Workers In. formed Jobs to Cease Friday If No Word Comes

Unless approval of an allocatlon of some t2,60O for continuance of the local WpA traffic survey pro- ject is made through the Depart ment of Budget by tomorrow noon, the members of the local stan will be faced with the prospect of an- other delay, 1t was learned by The Democrat today.
 It was announced at the office of J. Joseph Smith this morning that the matter was being checked by the congressman today, through the New Haven office, but up until press time no word of approval of the last allocation of S2,500 had come through. There is Q possi- bility, however, that word may be received here before tomorrow noon.
 No News, Good News?
 Yesterday afternoon those In charge of the project were informed that funds had run out and that the work would cease at noon on Friday. No word was received this morning in connection with con- tinuance grant and efforts were made ct the office of the local con- gressman to check on the delay.
 The last allocation for S2,b00 has been approved and 1t Is believed that the present delay may Do traced to the department of the budget, at which point final ap. proval of the amount allocated must Dc granted before c project can be continued,
 Some three or four weeks ago there was Q delay in connection with funds which was finally cleared up and the twenty members of the staff have been working reg. ularly since that time.

A LITTLE FROM THE LAST
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
By State Rep. P. c. Peterson

pare many times used as a political
football of some clique to cause legis-
lation, which they are opposing, to
get cought in the jam the 50th day,
which is the last day that the house
can send bills to the senate or the SEN
ate can send bills to the house. Last
year about 70 bills never got out of
the hopper, and many more were act
ed upon with very little or no con-
sideration whatsoever.
l am again taking the liberty of
quoting another part from the letter
previously referred to:
Il regret that what seems to have
been a well-designed flibuster re-
suited in the death of a number of i'm
portant bills because they could not
be passed in time to reach the senate
by the end of the 50th day. Neverthe-
ISIS, Bill, l want to call your attention
to the fact that, in my opinion, the
house of representatives concluded its
5Oth day with a program of legislative
enactment unequalled for its con-
structive benefit to the state of Mon
tana.
Some will ask: What is causing all
the bills to be introduced if they can
not be taken care of properly? In my
opinion, the reason is that so many
like to have their names read from
the rostrum and the next day see
them again on the front page in some
paper. In the last session a man in
troduced more than 20 bills; of these
only one passed the house and that
was killed as soon as it reached the
senate.
am going to give you some idea
of what happened to all these bills.
Here is the status of house bills upon
our adjournment from No. l to No.
rs which is a fair sample of all the
rest: a signed by the governor, 3 with
the governor, 6 killed on committee
report, l killed in committee of whole,
6 killed in senate, / killed on third
reading, l died in committee, / died
in steering committee, 2 killed by COM
mittee, and / killed in conference
committee.
| am unable to imagine what would
have happened if all the bills intro
duced had become laws. With the al
together too many laws already ex-
isting, there would have been a law
for and a law against everything, and
we would be paying fines or sitting in
jail the rest of our lives.
1t was my intention to write about
lobbying and its effect upon legisla-
ton, but as this is getting rather
lengthy and there is a possibility of
its not getting any further than the
waste basket, | will close for the time
being.

culture has been mistreated in this country since 1921
until the recent past. The fact that our farmers have
been bled white for years is well established. The en-
actment of the AAA was an effort to readjust an eco
nomic situation that was unjust and intolerable. Whether
it was the best effort is an academic question but wheth-
er the decision of the supreme court has rendered inn
possible further effort is the vital issue now.
Farmers of the United States should not fail to inn
press upon every political candidate their demand for
full economic parity, for an income in proportion to that
of other classes, for the right to use the powers of gov
eminent to protect them as well as industry and to give
them the advantages that flow to industry through pro-
duction and price control.
We are not demanding any particular plan or pro-
gram. Any one scheme that works, putting dollars in
farm purses, will suit us. The national welfare requires
that farm purchasing power be sustained at a ratio high
err than yet attained. Farmers, who vote right, can have
much to do with restoring to themselves all that they
have been denied for many years.

Refund Processing Taxes-To Whomp

For the United States supreme court to rule that
the 200 million dollars impounded processing taxes
should be returned is one thing; but to determine to
whom these refunded taxes rightfully belong is quite
another thing.
The supposition is, of course, that the milers and
packers paid the processing taxes and are thus entitled
to receive the money, but as a matter of truth the pro-
cessors did not pay the tax, and the reasoning that gives
the money to them will be hard to justify in the eyec
of the consumers on whom the taxes were originally
levied. In practically all instances it is an established fact
that processing taxes paid under the AAA were passed
on to the consumers and it is to them, if anyone, that
the 200 million dollars should be rightlully returned.
When the price Of bacon took the first rise in the
advance from 20 cents in 1888 to As cents in 1895 we
were tod that the processing tax was rosponsible; when
the price Of flour rose S1.3S a barrel after the institu-
ton Of the AAA. the raise in price was justified by the
processing tax; when bakers added a cent or more a
pound to the price OF a loaf of bread, the consumer was
informed that the increase was necessary in order to
pay the processing tax. Conversely, when the decision
against the AAA brought a drop in the price of dressed
pork the same day the price of hogs advanced on the
livestock markets, we were told that the elimination of
the processing tax, which the packers admitted had
been paid BY the consumers all along, was responsible.
AS soon as the A decision had been handed
down, professors advanced with the claim that since
they had been paying the processing tax, the money
held in special bank accounts by court injunction since
court action was started, should be returned to them.
And the government, through its judicial branch, lis
tened, and ordered the money refunded.
Those who paid the processing taxes directly-the
packers, the big millers, and others-will be the ones to
whom hundreds of millions of dollars will be returned.
If these same interests want to keep faith with the
consumers (he ones from whom the tax was actually
collected they will take immediate steps to see that
these refunded taxes are passed on with substantial
lowering Of prices on commodities effected. Failing in
this, it will be only fair to conclude that manufacturers
Cprocessors perhaps we should say have taken a con-
sumer-be-damned attitude and appropriated the mil
lions to enrich their own selfish Golfers. And then we
wonder why we have difficulty preventing the further
spread Of radicalism!

Drive Death OFF the Highways

One hundred and ffty-nine people were killed on
Montana highways in $3.50 fraction over one death
for each thousand cars registered in the state.
One chance in a thousand Of being killed! A gamble
with long odds in your favor, you think? Well, MIR.
Motorist, those figures merely represent the grim toll
of death. They do not take into account the casualties,
TEN INF AS MANY They take no account of the
screams Of writing victims, torn and bleeding flesh,
broken and crushed bones, missing teeth and eyes. There
is no count made Of the hours of anguish and suffering
that result from a few careless seconds. You can't meas
ure pain and grief!
Every step is being taken to protect you by me-
chanical means, warning signs, traffic signals, and main
tenance operations. Officers patrol our highways to
suppress the wilful and drunken violator of regula-
tons who jeopardize your life. Now what is to be ex-
pected Of YOU, Mr.. Motorist, in 1896. Are you going to
go on taking that one in a thousand chance that the
lightning won't strike you and yours, or are you going
to get right down to cases and help drive death off the
highways? IT'S UP TO YOUM

Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1936-01-23

No body of men is more subject to
criticism or praise-justly or unjustly
than the state legislature. Some peo-
pie think they, the legislature, are do
ing wonders; others think they aren't
doing anything at all. l don't agree
with either. l believe we could have
done considerably better than we did
do at the last session for reason which
| will try to explain later. AT the same
time we passed a few bills which, in
my opinion, are of great benefit to the
people of state. | will mention a
few of them. First on the list is the
delinquent tax bill which brought the
counties of the state into better finan-
cial condition than they have been for
a long time. If ! remember correctly,
$4,000 were paid in taxes in Sheri-
dan county in 1885.
The next is the deficiency judgment
bill. Then we also have the non-par-
tisan of election judges bill, the mora
forum on foreclosure bill, the exemp-
ton of mortgage on foreclosure bill,
the exemption from execution bill, the
chain store bill, the state highway pa
troll bill, the state old-age pension bill
and others which I think are all good
progressive measures beneficial to
most people of our state.
| would like to give you another
members view and quote part Of a
letter he wrote home to a friend:
In the, the morning of the 51st day
am taking time to answer your letter
of recent date wherein you state that
you have read in the newspapers that
the house of representatives was &C
complishing nothing for the interests of
the people of the state. l am not sur
prised that you have received advices
to this effect. There seems to be a we'll
laid plan among certain newspapers
to belittle the efforts of the House of
Representatives which has been la
boring industriously for so days to
construct a program which would be
beneficial to our people as a whole"
Now l will try to outline what, in
my opinion, is most detrimental to
good legislation. First is the introduce
ton of too many bills. In the last ses-
sion, SAL house bills and approximate
ly 220 senate bills were introduced.
When it is taken into consideration
that just a small percentage of them
become laws, it can readily be seer
that here is a big loss of time and
money. ! was told that every bill--if
printed-costs the state from S25 to
SIS for printing alone.
That, however, is not the most OBJ
jectionable thing about it. 1t is i'm
possible to give all these bills due
consideration and it takes just as long
to consider a worthless bill as a meri-
torious measure.
Furthermore, the unimportant bills

What We Call a Big Blast

The honorable George Barton Cutten is president
of Colgate college and, as such, might be supposed to be
one of the wise boys of his time.
Just now the brother is worried about social legis-
lation which he proclaims will save the feeble-minded
"as well as other units and invite the fit to join the
ranks of the unfit Imagine students having to listen to
that without having a fit
DR.. Gluten, SO we are advised, believes in letting
nature take its course, is against democracy and advo-
Gates longer working hours because underworld is a
menace to civilization.
Moreover the doctors have curbed natures checks
which provide immunity to diseases by eliminating those
who contract the diseases, and the educator sees a pro
tected' rather than a resistant" race.
We follow the eminent gentemans thoughts no
further. Things are certainly worse than we thought
and we had an idea that, after the depression, they were
in what one might call bad shape. Roughly, however, we
fancy that human beings are all wrong or else the doctor
has made a big mistake out loud.

As 1886 Begins

The Plentywood Herald begins the year 1886 with
certain improvements in mind, but with the recognition
that these depend as much upon our public as upon
ourselves.
The editor and publisher of this newspaper con-
stantly have in mind its possible betterment. The field of
service is large and we try to fill it as best we can.
We doubt if there are any other businesses which
undertake so much work for the benefit of the public
as the newspapers of the country. Of course, it is to
their interest to do so, but very often, in certain cases,
it means a loss of revenue and certain punishment for
a newspaper to act in the public interest. Only in the
long run, when one contemplates the admiration and
respect which an honest newspaper acquires, is the
statement that 1T pays applicable to newspaper service.
With this in mind, we do not hesitate to request
the support of all those who consider the Herald as
worthy Of public recognition. To them, we pledge again,
what we have often pledged, our best work in the in
terest of the greater growth Of Plentywood and the
betterment Of every condition that is for the benefit of
its citizens.
