terest reports from the conference
to be held in Washington by the
board of the General Federation ol
Women's Clubs this week at tht

While discussions will include
other subjects of interest in the

In a recent talk before the Wom.

the women TO study the subject o1
youth delinquency as special prob.
lem, voicing his alarm at increases
in various offenses committed by
boys and girls under 16 years of age
as reported to the Department OF
Justice.
For nearly two years, the General
Federation of Women's Clubs has
made this problem its special con-
Germ with committees organized In
every State in the Union studying
causes and possible cures for the
condition.
The federation, however, has gone
beyond the mere problem of youth
delinquency and has taken as its
objective, youth conservation, aim
ing not only to decrease delinquency
but to encourage and assist con-
structive tendencies of young people
The Youth Conservation Com.

ing at 9 am. Friday and conclud-

of the question.
A message from the young screen

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. 81, 1945
The Peoples Voice
Helena, Montana
Dear Cap:
In your issue of Jan. 10, 1915, you
publish letter from Mr.. Harry Arm
strong asking for answers. to ques-
lions he propounds regarding the fl
nancial feasibility of IVA and while
| am in no manner an authority on
the matter, it is very easy to consult
the reports made annually by IVA
to the congress of the United States
and from this source | shall attempt
to answer Mr.. Armstrong.
In the beginning | admit that a
"kilowatt" just as a term means very
little to me, but when it is translated
into a reduction of from one-half to
three-fourths in the rates at which
distributors furnish power to consum-
ers and still make substantial profit
"kilowatt" becomes something that
is understood by everyone And such
| is the definite fact in IVA and there
is every reason to ascribe like per-
Torrance to MVA.
AS to how many "kilowatts" there
are market for within the proposed
MVA of course this problematical But
again judging from actual facts
throughout IVA the demand and use
of power may easily grow, as in IVA,
as much as 76 per cent or in some
instances of actual record 232 per
cent.
TWAS 1913 financial statement of
costs and receipts show that by plain
arithmetic-would pay out on an in
vestment of $436,0OO,OO0 in about so
years. AS an investor looking for
sound financial venture would Mr..
Armstrong or anyone else hesitate to
sink every dollar they possess into
such an iron clad business.
Mr.. Armstrong evades the truth in
his statement about the U. S. debt. 1t
is true that our debt is greater in
amount than any other, but in mat
ter of percentage ours is far below
that Of any other nation now engaged
in war There is no other govern
ment in or out of the war that is as
financially solvent as ours.
From a plain business standpoint
has any business ever hesitated to add
more Indebtedness if splendid
business venture presented itself.
In closing 1 should like to remind
Mr. Armstrong of the words of one
of our greatest Americans, Ben Frank
lin, Remember that anything that
benefits any large group of citizens
lot, must of necessity benefit all
the nation some"
With kindest regards,
l am yours very truly,
L. L. PRICE.

franchise. Lots of men like mysel
worked hard for the women, think
ing they would help clean up the i'm
moral and unfair conditions, and the
women won out. Then the politicians
went to work and fooled the womeI
voters in place of helping to clean up
they were used by this republican ma
chine to make conditions worse. The
lack of interest in good government
by the women voters has helped tt
bring about worse conditions than we
had before they got the franchise
There things had a lot to do to defeat
the liberal men in the last election. Oh
course the fifth columnists worked
overtime to bring about this defeat
politics. The League of Women Vot.
ers never did organize except in a
few cities in the western part of the
stae. The Democratic party stands
for liberalism, the Republican party
stands against liberalism. In Miles
City the women were made to believe
that Governor Ford was still with the
drys, but the vets seem to have all
voted for Governor Ford. The women
do not want to forget when they vote
for the candidates of the interests
they are voting for wet men and they
also want to remember that the liquor
interests are part of this republican
machine" and have been for 35 years
in Montana. Women should realize
that we have dishonest men and vi
cious politicians among our prominent
men and some not so prominent. Pro-
hibition was terrible mistake and
the wet republican machine took ad-
vantage of the situation and elected
wet men and men that did not enforce
the laws and apparently took into
their fold the liquor interests all over
the United States, which has in
creased the voting strength of the
whole republican party. Christians
gave us our democracy at the birth of
this nation, but it seems today a lot
of our church people lack the prin-
ciples of democracy and are voting
for fascism which is AGAINST the
Christian Church. The same God that
stood by those Christians then, is still
with us and will guide the Christians
of today to save democracy from fas-
clsm, mete out justice and do away
with injustice and wars.
