The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1941-12-03
Great Falls, Mont, Nov. IS, 1941

1
Editor, The Peoples Voice,
l read letter from someone from
Waller, Mont, and published in the
Great Falls Tribune under letters to
the editor, Sunday, Nov. 16, 1941,
which prompts me to write this
letter.
| believe the state reorganizing plan
is a very important issue to come
before our voters and also our legis-
lators at the next session. 1 noticed
recently it is developing considerable
interest and discussions and it rightly
should be so, as I see it. Our state
government, as we'll as national, is
intended for the people and by the
people to serve all justly both old
and young, rich and poor.
The letter referred to is signed by
Mrs. w. NJ Withrow, Waller, Mont.
1t reads in part: "(And speaking of
poor houses have you ever noticed
that old men living alone on an old
age pension often die alone and
neglected. While if we had poor farms
fortunates could enjoy security. Know
ing they will have hospital care when
needed and can keep their self re-
spect by doing a little work." I'm
quote. How can anyone with clear
mind and open heart say that old
people could enjoy security in poor
house. That sounds like Hitler. Not
democracy.
In another column the writer states,
quote "Qn our democracy we must
build, not Destroy" unquote. With
this I heartily agree. So let us go
forward and build up a pension for
the old people, and improve the jobs
for the laboring people now under
paid so they may have a decent stand
ard of living. With hospital care
where needed. That will come closer
to building up democracy than humili-
alton, poor houses and low wages, in
order to reduce taxes.
In building up our democratic sys-
tenn of government we must not cru
city our old people on cross of gold.
If we believe in democracy and want
to build up then we must be fair to
all our people. You are walking on
thin ice when you consider humanity
in the terms of dollars only. Some
times / wonder If some of these self
styled patriots are very much con-
cerned only in their own interest.
In these times of trial we should
not continue to humiliate more than
million of our old people and low
bracket wage earners by forcing
hem on a low standard OF living,
While others already over fed are be-
ng stuffed with better jobs and
higher salaries while they leisurely
wing forth and back in their easy
swivel chairs planning for more
,orfits and better jobs for themselves
Ind a few friends.
I'm not referring to the state re-
committee in the least,
Is l know very little about their
york. On the other hand, l feel that
hose in charge of planning the re-
organization will consider the needs
# all our citizens and not merely
hink in terms of taxes, but will strive
o eliminate waste, reduce overpaid
alaries, and plan for a more equal
distribution of wealth and better Iiv-
ng conditions for all. l still have con-
idence in humanity.
What is democracy, anyhow? Those
f us who never saw or read the con-
titution of the United States should

POST WAR TRADE

| rO0t wan hHDE
Rudyard, Mont, Nov. 81, 1941
Dear Editor:
There is much confusion In respect
| to our trade policies. Unless the pro-
ducers, the businessman and the Ia
boring group obtains clear under
standing of the many factors that eff
| fects our national economy we can
not decide correctly the right policy.
That suggests constructive thinking
and debates, and after weighing each
policy carefully, then we can find the
best solution 1t appears the sea coast
cities that have been built up, to a
large extent on ocean traffic, want to
increase ocean commerce. AS much
of their population derives living
from that business, and in order to
get business there must be imports
as we'll as exports. That is true with
the over populated countries of
Europe. They of necessity must be
industrial, and must export Industrial
goods and accept in exchange, raw
materials and agricultural products,
which they need, or accept gold,
which in the final analysis is meas
uring stick of physical values, used as
jewelry and some other purposes, but
mainly for an artificial monetary
base.
The United States has an enormous
amount of natural resources and agri-
cultural lands. We lead the world in
industry and also agriculture. We are
blessed with both and considered rich
because we have both. Our capacity
to produce industrial goods and agri-
cultural products is greater than our
capacity to consume what we can
can we create more employment and
business? Can it be done by limiting
the production of agricultural prod
ucts, and importing the very products
we can produce ourselves? Will i'm
ported agricultural products pay for
more industrial goods than domes-
tically produced products? Logically
the exchange value and purchasing
power is exactly the same, and will |
not increase the production of indus
trial goods, but on the contrary will |
actually decrease the production of |
industrial goods and decrease employ
ment, at least to the extent of what |
abor is required to manufacture the
and the labor required to |
produce the agricultural products i'm
ported. For the reason much, If not |
Ill imported commodities are pro-
luced without machinery, and with
)eon labor, while our own domestic
producers use machinery that creates
business for industry and employment
or labor. We are on higher stand
lrd Of living, higher wages, higher
margins of profits for industry. If we
ire going to have a higher standard
If living and modern conveniences
hat we now enjoy, we must protect
,ur markets, both industrial and agri-
cultural. 1t may be asked: Why does
he good people that live in the sea
coast cities want to break down the
barriers for agricultural
PRODUCTS and at the same time enjoy I
higher standard of living and wages
or themselves? 1t appears the reason
s they need the business of ocean
ommerce to support the excess popu- {
alton of the sea coast cities, and {

Dear Mr.. Bruce:
Inclosed you will find check for
$3.50 to cover Is yearly and one

These subscriptions were all OBJ

ton held at Havre yesterday.
The idea works real good and we
think it should be put in practice at
all conventions over the state.
Please send some subscription

Very truly yours,
