Indians Defy
White Fathers
Power Board
BY the Associated Press.

After members of the Federal
Power Commission had listened for
seven hours yesterday to arguments
in a Niagara Falls Power Co. case,
John Snyder of Irving, N. Y, arose
and solemnly announced the Seneca
Indians would not be bound by any
action the commission took.
He commended his tribesmen owned
the valuable property along the
Niagara River because New York
State had never exercised its right
to acquire the land.
Mr.. Snyder said the Senecas had
a petition pending before the COM
mission to establish their rights to
the valuable water-power site.
II don't know what they're argu-
ing about" commented the Indian
counsel, because none of them have
any right to the property"

INSIDE OR OUT?

BUT THEN CONES THIS QUESTION:
How are you, the people, to know right
from wrong, fact from fancy? How can
you watch everywhere at once?
How can you keep your eye on the
businessman who runs the national pea
nut stand and still watch the state and
local and national government? How can
you POSSIBLY know what Is going on all
about you?
AND HERE IS pEMocRAcY's ANSWER,
1.-THE answer is easy. We will have free
speech, freedom of thought and religion.
We will let every man express his own
views. We will give to NEWSPAPERS the
job of keeping US informed. We will put
these rights of ours to KNOW THE FACTS
even beyond the reach Of osr government
beyond temptation.
"And we will KEEP for ourselves the
power to get a new ZOO keeper or a new
mayor or new senator if any true report
comes to us that these or other public
SERVANTS threaten to become our Mas
TIERS. No dictatorship can exist IN Z
nation that has a truly FREE press"

Parity Loans Assured,
Congress Seeks Quick
Action on Farm Bill
Senators Soy Presidents
Approval Of Measure Ends
Need for Increased Fund
Nv the AxsociatAd Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With loans equal to IS per cent
Of parity prices assured on major
farm crops, congressional leaders
sought today a speedy settlement Of
outstanding differences between
Senate and House over the 1s41-42
agricultural appropriation bill.
The big supply bill, carrying $780,
2<037 when it passed the House
and boosted to $1,34O, 622, 744 by the
Senate. has been tied up in joint
conference committee awaiting f1nal
disposition Of the parity loan bill
which President Roosevelt signed
yesterday.
The House had approved $212,-
900, 900 for parity payments, but the
Senate increased the amount to
$3.50, 000. 900, of which $150000, 900
would b spent on this years crops.
Need Removed, Senators Say.
Senators Russell, Democrat, Of
Georgia and Bankhead, Democrat,
Of Alabama, leaders in the fight for
the Senate increase, said, however,
that there was now no need for the
larger amount since the signing of
the loan bill.
Coupled with $780, 900 in soil
conservation payments, they esti-
mated that the $212 ,000, 900 approved
by the House would be sufficient to
make up the difference between the
IS per cent loan and full parity
prices.
make the farmers returns on his
crops equal in purchasing power to
the returns in the 1909 1914 period.
Senator Bankhead said that while
parity prices would be realized on
this years crop, he was unable to
estimate what would be needed in
the way Of parity payments next
year, because the loan bill will ex-
pire after one year unless renewed.
Parity Income Not Achieved.
He told reporters that prices on
the 1941 crops would be at parity

Last week the board of directors

on record as being in favor Of the
Montanans, Inc, attempt to have the
legislature appropriate $4,000 for
advertising Montana's tourist posi-
bilities. A careful check, made by
the above mentioned organization,
shows that tourists brought ia
000, 900 into this state in 1889. 1910
should have been better tor more
travelling was done in America in
that year than in any previous
one. OF all Montana industries, the
tourist business is the fourth In inn

During the past few years Mon
tanans, Inc, hax been carrying out
the business OF advertising the state
and has been doing an excellent
job Of it although Its funds have
been very limited.

eral local people had voiced q pref
erence for the overpass to come out
on Mineral avenue. Mr. Martin told
Mr.. Mahoney that Mineral avenue
was not the logical location Tor the
south end OF the overpass and It
must 60 through as planned. Cali
fornia avenue and Second street
will be the south end Of the struc-

Mr.. Martin stated that If the mon

that the money will be used at some
