pegged at 1914 levels (instead of

BUREAU SHOWS WAY
What the Budget Bureau is
doing today is not too big or
complicated for the ordinary cit
izen TO understand, the director
feels. In fact, he thinks that this
same citizen can cut the bu-
rcaus example down to his own
size and gain few valuable
pointers, both on how TO stretch
available supplies as far as pos
sible, and how TO save money
TO invest in War Bonds and fight
the rising cost of living.
Take that money, for instance.
The Budget Bureau in the fis-
cal year l943 held S34l 900 900
in reserve from various depart
ments and agencies. This is TO
,be saved or, if necessary, used IN
an emergency. OF course, BAL
millions isn't a lot of money,
as government money goes. IL
wouldn't even run the war for
two days. But it might come IN
handy. And you, the budget di-
rector points out, can do like
wise.
Also you might poke about in
your attic and closets and come
up with something disable. You
can't quite expect TO find such
treasures as the Budget Bureau
did: they unearthed, among 9TH
or things, several cases OF light
bulbs and paper clips, con-
signpent of office desks, 10

THE FARM BLOC

THE FARM BLOC, a book by Yves.
ley McCune, published by Doubleday
Doran is now on SALE The price is
$500 copy Every farmer should
read this book
While most working farmers have
long been suspicious that the Farm
Bloc was far from representing them,
it is doubtful if they have ever real
lied the extent of the run-around they
were getting. The Bloc operated in
the name of the farmers but in the
interests of business, food handlers,
professors, spectators, railroads and
industry The Bloc has become a
menace, not only to farmers but to
all the people of the United States
This has resulted in the hands of ia
cob and the voice of Esau coming in
for a close scrutiny by people who
are not partially blinded with the
sweat of IL hours work a day feeding
the nation.
McCune did not concern himself
particularly with the basic forces in
volved in Farm Bloc activity but
rather with the persons. Mr. O'Neal,
president of the Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, is drawn as jovial back
slapper, shrewd and ruthless He is
a southern landed gentleman, proud
of his estate and his ancestors He
calls his hired help "My negroes and
my white people" He knows what
he wants and goes after it regardless
of the effect on the country, the war
effort, or his friends and neighbors.
Albert Goss, head man of the
Grange, is shown as running about
with chip on both
shoulders and trying to square the
past fighting history of the Grange
with his present partnership with
O'Neal. The tail that was the Grange
insurance companies has now become
the dog that wags the tail that is the
Grange.
Charley Holman, that milk distrib-
ltor disguised in overall is shown
or what he really is, advance agent
or National Dairy and Borden
or where the League and Land O.
1akes is, these milk companies are
lever for away.
Any farmer who still has a sneaking
dea that the Farm Bloc and Farm
Bureau are on his side would do we'll |
o read this book and find out by
whom, and why, he has been deceived. |

Farm slaughterers are requested to
contact their local war meat commit

them in their contribution in promot-
ing the war effort.
Farmers should continue to produce
meat animals at top speed, with the
knowledge that every pound of beef,
pork, veal, lamb, and mutton is just
as important to the war effort as
bombs and tanks. If each and every
livestock producer makes it his per-
sonal task to do all in his power to
see that his meat animals get into
honest hands he will be taking the
first step toward stamping out black

We are wonderful fellow All oul
life-and we have been here long
time-we have wondered how anyone
could be so wonderful. If it were
anyone else who seemed so wonder
full, we simply could not believe it;
but as it is we, we are forced to admit
the obvious.
For one thing we are a great, an
illustrious success. We know of no
other person in the whole slum sec
ton of our city who can compare
with us as an embodiment and high
example of great aims achieved, of
faith and perseverance rewarded In
deed we believe we can say in all
humility that we stand, in terms of
achievement, head and shoulders
above any other intellectual trull> in
the nation.
And we reached this eminence by
road of hardships and struggle
which might well have defeated a
weaker person and field with fear
any heart which throbbed with less
steadfast daring. Imagine, for exam
pie, the hardihood which it has some
times taken to sink our fair, slender,
and immaculate fundament into
chair-cushion only an inch and half
thick Think of the courage, the
reckless intrepidity required to sit for
hours at our hard desk and write the
stuff our owners tell us to writel No
wonder we are able to discuss the
manly virtues of fortitude and valor
with the deep and resonant voice of
authority.
Nor are daring and toughness of
fiber our only virtues We are Just
as capable of tolerance, sympathy,
and kindly understanding as of virile
grit and firmness. We may not agree
with what the other fellow says, but
we will fight for his right to say it
by the way, we made that saying up
entirely out of our own head -unless,
of course, he is unreasonable about it.
And how could he possibly differ with
us if he were not unreasonable, in
deed little on the far side of the
thin line that separates sanity from
insanity? The person who thinks
that he is right and everybody else is
wrong is bound to be insane; and |
how could anyone differ with us if he
were not conceited enough to think
that only he is right?
OF course we ourself have been ac-
cused of this fault-but the accusa-
ton is vile SANDER. We have never
said that everybody is wrong, as any
one who agrees with us will agree.
Only those who differ with us are :
wrong = and who cares about such
creatures anyhow
Side by side with our beauty of
soul stand our radiant physical per-
fections, among which our classic fea-
lures are only the first Of our phys
ique in general we can only exclaim,
What symmetry! What litheness and
grace! What elegance of proportionl
Not an extra ounce anywhere; not a

Post from cover to cover; nothing so

make-up Wicked detractors may

and that it REFLECTS no credit on rs.
Don't believe Them. we are beautiful
because, like Mr. Roosevelt, we plan-
ned it that way.
But greatest of all our virtues is
our modesty - that sweet, winning,
Christian humility which, throughout
our meteoric rise to pre-eminence, has
not left us. Pause a moment, reader,
and ponder this miracle-how in the
midst of our dazzling success, amid

REPORT OF WORK
IN SUPREME
COURT FOR Week
DECISIONS:

| DECISIONS:
July 12th-E. r. Mckee v. Clint
Clark and others. Appealed. from
Toole county, Shelby Majority opin-
ion prepared by Justice Left Erickson.
Justice c. F. Morris dissented.
Facts: The plaintiff was the owner
of land within the boundaries of the
Kelvin Cooperative State Grazing
District but he was neither member
nor a permittee of that grazing dis
trict The defendants horses were
found on plaintiffs lands and were
gathered up and impounded by the
plaintiff The State Grazing District
law provides that "If any stock grazes
upon lands owned or controlled by
state grazing district without permits
sion of the state district, such stock
may be impounded for trespass and
sold" Plaintiff sought to proceed
under this section.
Held: That plaintiff could not take
advantage of the state grazing law
above quoted for the reasons, first
the plaintiff was not member nor
permittee,. and, second, any action
taken under that law must be taken
by the district and not an individual
member; that since the plaintiff could
not avail himself of that law, the
"open range law applies and the de-
PENDANT under his cross-complaint is
entitled to damages for the unlawful
impounding of his horses.
July 18th State ex rel. Charles
Davidson and others v. S. C. Ford and
others. An original proceeding in the
supreme court arising out of facts oc-
curing in Lewis G. Clark county,
Helena. Unanimous opinion prepared
by Justice c. F. Morris.
Held: Where the Veterans Welfare
Commission, under the declaratory
judgment act, asked the court to con-
strue an appropriation act of the 1943
legislative assembly, it was held that
a provision in the bill which required
the board of examiners to approve and
order the expenditure of the money
appropriated, while not expressed in
the title, was so incidental and ger
name to the purposes of the appro-
priation that it could not be held to
be in conflict with sections 90 and %
of Article V of the Montana Consti-
tuition, which requires the subject of
the act to be expressed in the title.
