'FARM-T O-MARkET
ROADS HOPES
0VER-ESTIMATED

Clearly there prevails an impression
that the federal highway act passed
by the Congress December, 1914, will
make possible the construction of an
almost unlimited mileage of secondary
or farm-to-market roads.
ecause of the fallacy of that belief
and a statewide interest in the de-
velopment of farm-to-market roads. we
feel a responsibility to present the
salient facts, and that is the purpose
of this statement.
First, it should be pointed out that
federal secondary funds are applied to
the improvement of that part of the
county road system carrying the heav-
lest traffic and serving the greatest
number of people. Thereby aiding a
county to the extent that it may apply
a larger percentage of county funds
to the betterment of lower traffic
routes which are not eligible for fed
eral funds.
Also, it should be understood that
the status of route is not changed
because of federal approval of the
route as a part of the federal-aid sec
ondary system. That is, route or
part of route approved for inclusion
in the federal-aid secondary system re-
tains it's status as county road and

for many months has held up congress
sional action on permanent FEPC,'
said the national council for perma
nent FEPC in a special message to
its affiliates released today.
Assurances of Republican leadership
in house and senate that efforts would
be made to precipitate floor action
soon after the turn of the year were
revealed in the message.
In the senate, the council an
nounced, a group of Republican SEN
ators intend 'to undertake an agrees
sive role to force the issue to the
floor of the senate at the first oppor-
tunity." This leadership group in
cludes Senators Wayne Morse, Ore
gon; Joseph Ball, Mimi; H. Alexan-
der Smith, N. j.; Milton R. Young,
N. D.; William F. Knowland, Calf;
Charles w. Tobey, N. H.; George D.
Aiken, VT
In the house, the council announced,
it has word from Minority Leader Jo-
seph Martin that "as soon as posi-
BILE after the house holiday recess
enough Republicans will sign the petit
ton to bring the bill to the floor of
the house."

presidents FEPC of Attorney Charles
Houston" the message declared, has
made the country acutely conscious
of the futility of a government agency
which must rely upon the executive
for enforcement powers, and empha-
sizes the great need for permanent
FEPC with full authority"
The message called upon the 100
odd local councils for permanent FE
PC and 60-odd national collaborating
throughout the country
to intensity mobilization of public
opinion, in messages to the White
House and party leaders, and in mass
meetings, for immediate congression-
al action. A revised list of repre-
sentatives who have not signed the
house petition, on the basis of vol
untary poll conducted by the national
council, was issued with the message.

Pressed by Iabor-baiting Glare
Hoffman (R. Mich.) for "some kind
of action" to aIay Industrial un-
rest, Murray let the committee have
his answer: "RepeaI this abomina-
BILE carry-back and carry-forward
provision of the tax laws"
Explaining that carry-back and car
ryforward amounts to lockout bene
fits for industry" since they are guar
anteed their 1868 profit level nc
matter how little they operate, Murray
continued
"This carry-back is an atrocity
against the American public. 1t
permits industry to be as irrespon-
sibe as it likes, with no penalty
attached. 1t should be repealed in
the interests of all the American
people,"
Asked in shocked tones by Rep.
Buck Or, N.Y. if he considered u. S.
Steel and General Motors irresponsi-
BILE, Murray answered the Staten Is
land congressman by bluntly saying
Eyes" and adding: Both corporations,
by their refusal to bargain collectively,
have Utterly disregarded their public
obligations"
After reading his prepared testi-
mony, Murray elaborated on the fall
lacies of fact finding as means of
settling industrial disputes. "The Tru-
man bill seeks to give the impression
that cooIing-off would only last 80
days, during the fact-finding process.
But what about an industry refusal
to hand over all their books. What
about lengthy litigation in the courts
to compel an industry to produce
everything the fact finding board
needed?
at is impossible for any board to
do a complete job in 20 days. The
proposal is Impractical and unwork-
able. Yet during all this delay,
workers are regimented and COM
PEELED not to take strike action"
Murray sharply criticized reports
that the house committee was plan
that the house committee was plan
ming to blitz through the report on the
bill. Despite a contradiction from
Ramspeck, this is what is taking place

CENTRAL ExCH.,
WILL RETIRE
1886 STOCK

The board of directors of the Farm
ers Union Central Exchange by unan-
imous vote on December 7, 1945 auth
orized the retirement at par, for cash,
all stock issued by the Exchange in
1895 and 1886. With this payment
the Exchange has now retired all stock
issued in the years 1881 to 1886 in
elusive.
Notices are now being mailed to all
holders of capital stock of the Ex-
change issued in the years 1885 and
1886. Checks will be mailed to all
holders of this issue Immediately aft
er December 81, 1915.
This payment will be about $125,000,
which makes a total repayment for
the six years of about $225,000 and is
another answer to the critics of the
co-operatives and demonstrates that

COOL OFF AIM Is UNION BUSTING

The national industrial picture is
so thoroughly fraught with danger
to our future well-being that we can
not afford now to tolerate the kind
of stupidity and bungling that char
acterized the rush to enact such bills
as the Smith Connally Act of 1943, y
CIOPres. Philip Murray told congress
this week in opposing the Truman
anti-strike bill CHR 1909.
Appearing ath the house labor COM
mittee hearings on the Truman pro-
posal to impose a 30-day "cooling-off'
period and "fact-finding" boards on
labor, Murray asked
"Are we in crisis today because
labor has failed to 'cooI-off'? Are
we in crisis today because the facts
are not known or not avaiIable?"
There has been no lack of cooling
off on the part of labor and certain
Iy the cuts in take-home pay, con-
trasted with enormous increases in
profits, are available to everybody,
he said.
Citing two major CLIO wage cases,
he pointed out that the Steelworkers
formulated their wage demands in
September and sought immediate ne
gotiations with the steel industry.
"It is 80 days since that time and
in their action of this week the Steel
workers have still deferred the final
resort to strike-an action which the
attitude of the industry has forced
upon us-for still another 80 days.
I'm the automobile industry the
workers thrashed about for over go
days in futile efforts to induce General
Motors to engage in real collective
bargaining.
mo one can suggest that there has
been action in haste or in heat. These
workers have been cooled off and
cooled off until they have almost been
frozen out of the picture.
Against that background, ! ask
you gentlemen whether it is not
sheer nonsense to propose as total
solution for our present ills cooling
off periods. Does labor speak too
strongly when it suspects in such
proposals an EFFORT to cloud some OF
the real problems and to evade the
responsibility for taking action in
directions that will really meet
them?
"Such proposals, in the light of
the facts clear to everyone, must be
born either of a complete lack of
understanding or complete hypoc-
risy."
Under questioning by Acting Com
.mittee Chairman Ramspeck Cd. Ga.),
Murray said that the CLIO is strongly
opposed to any legislation looking
toward compulsion of labor or rob-
bling them of their Constitutional right
to strike.
"The purpose back of this bill is to
destroy labor" he said, "and the effect
of it would be the same. Perhaps the
sponsors of this measure do not agree

musk-rats and mink. This also goes
for shore and upland birds and all
such small game as may be provided
with habitats and feeding grounds
around the shore lines of the reser-
voirs. Tennessee Valley people have
made remarkable progress in the pro-
lection and propagation of all these
species Of wild life and in converting
some of it into profitable income
producing business, as well as sport
producing pastime. What has been
done in Tennessee Valley can just as
we'll be done in Missouri Valley and
on a far greater scale. The time to
plan and make ready for such pro-
gram is now, not after the basic res
ervoirs and other structures have been
designed and started into construc-
ton.

Ten years after Tennessee Valley
Authority was set up, its chairman
was able to report to the public:
"By patient scientific methods de-
signed to give nature a chance, the
number of fish has been increased
40-fold in storage reservoirs, Is times
in the main stream reservoirs. More
than 40 species of fish have been
caught in these lakes-a variety COM
parable to the Great Lakes Here is
the basis of a thriving industry that
in 1943 produced six million pounds of
edible fish, and is expected to in
crease to 25 millions pounds per year. ;"
All this did not just happen. Crea-
does of course furnish to the fishes
therein more of sea room, more feed
ing grounds, and more protection from
natural enemies. All this is conducive
to an increasing fish population. 1t
may equally well operate to destruc-
ton of spawning grounds, greater dan
ger from disease and more opportun-
ity for cannibalistic practices among
the finny tribes. Some times changed
nature tips the balance one way;
the other.
Tennessee Valley people soon
learned that protection and propoga-
ton of fish is not a hap-hazzard mat
ter. 1t calls for scientific knowledge,
new research and for
the application of all the knowledge
thus gained, to both design and oper-
alton of the great storage reservoirs.
It is a task that can be worked out,
when the scientists in the field of
wild life sit in with design, construc-

MvA ANNUAL
Meeting CALLED

The first annual meeting OF Mon
tana MVA Association has been called
to convene in Lewistown at $3.50 am
on Sunday, January 10. The meeting
will convene in Lewistowns Civic au-
ditorium. Purposes as announced by
President Left Erickson are to elect
all association officials, discuss and
perfect plans for more permanent
and possibly enlarged organization and
to map educational and strategy plans
for the coming year. All MVA work
ers and sympathizers are welcome to
attend as delegates.
Said President Erickson, "a vast
program of educational and organiza-
tional activities should be carried past
the next congressional elections, pos
sibly longer. The burial which Pow
er Company newspapers have been
giving the MVA each week, or 10 days,
has not proven effective. More Mon
tana people are behind the project
now than ever before. 1t will con-
tinue to gain in strength, as more peo-
pie come to an understanding of its
full plans and purpose and of the ma
ture and methods of its opposition"
Present officers of the association
are: Left Erickson, Helena, president;
Fred G. Huntington, Billings, Richard
H. Donovan, Butte, and Mrs. Andrew

ADDS TO TAX
VALUATIONS
$4,000, 900 Added To
Tax Rolls in Shape of
New Industries.

Taxable real and personal property
totaling $45,000,00O was added to tax
rolls in six counties of Washington
and Oregon by industries attracted to
the Pacific Northwest primarily by
low-cost Bonneville-Grand Coulee pub
lie power between the years 1910 and
1915, the Bonneville power administra-
ton announced in summarizing tax
contributions of new electro-process
plants in the region.
"These new industries, all drawn
to the Pacific Northwest in the last
few years because electric power was
available at low rates from ederal
dams, have lifted from the shoulders
of other taxpayers amounting to
more than s1,0O0,0O0 year." Dr.. Paul
j. Raver, administrator, declared
The state and local tax payment of
five aluminium reduction plants, one
aluminium rolling mill, one magnesium
plant, two calcium carbide plants, one
chlorate plant, and two ferro-alloy
plants are summarized in a Bonneville
report, Federal Public Power and
Taxation in the Pacific Northwest"
Counties whose tax collec-
lions were directly affected are Multi
nomah in Oregon, and Spokane, Cow
litz, Clark, Douglas and Pierce in
Washington.
As a result of the broadened tax
base, millage rates have declined in
saveral of the counties and tax dis
tricts. The Port of Longview was
able to collect $47,2SO in taxes this
year on a levy of 2.5 mills, the report
points out, whereas a rate of 3 mills
was required in 1912 to raise $47,-
PIP. This has meant lower payments
for taxpayers in the port district Tax
es on a home assessed at $4,000 were
s9S78 in 1912 but only $21.24 in 1914.
The consolidated millage rate in a
school district adjacent to the Trout
lale aluminium plant in Multnomah |
County was reduced from $2S.7 in |
L942-43 to 1876 in 1944-45. The owner
