the able direction of Mrs. Cyrus

tried to stimulate interest in the

Our program on the care and pro-
pagation of camellias conducted by

TAYLOR ASKS INQUIRY
INTO EXCESSIVE RAIL
FREIGHT CHARGES

Sen Glen. Taylor ID. Ida) has his
teeth sunk deeply into the pants of
some U. S. Treasury robbers and is
asking why the Bureau Of the Budget,
traditional Treasury watchdogs isn't
on the job.
Taylor announced recently that he
was asking the Mead committee to
discover what railroad men, if any, are
responsible for Budget Bureau policies
with respect to railroad freight rates.
At the same time he made public an
exchange of letters with Budget Direc-
tor James Webb, in which he said he
was shocked by the extreme solicit
tude with which you webb Gre han
ding the railroad corporations.
Taylor had earlier demanded that
the bureau act against roads which
overcharged the government for
freight carrying during the war, thru
colniyance of executives in uniform
assigned to duty as freight rate ex-
perts.
Wartime net profits of Glass 1 rail-
roads during the war years 1941-45
totaled 1890 million-a 700% gain

manShIp ana Mrs. Jane Hurcell,
Helena, secretary.
Portion of the convention of most
interest to the voters of Montana con
Germs the type of platforms adopted.
For this reason The Voice will at
tempt to briefly analyze the platforms
Of the Senior and Young Democratic
organizations, that a clearer under
standing may result.
Both groups brought forth excellent
planks on labor, agriculture and bust
ness, with the Young Demos having
the most comprehensive and specific
relating to Montana farmers. Both
agreed that labor should have an i'm
proved minimum wage law, the Fair
Employment Practices Act, implement
tation of the full employment law, and
the continuance of the right of col
lective bargaining.
Likewise both recommended the
continuance of the Small Business
Committee in congress and new legis-
lation to aid the small business man
by limiting the evils of monopoly, and
more important still, to fight for
greater equalization of freight rates.
On agriculture both supported the
continuance of the parity price pro-
gram, crop insurance, soil conserva-
ton, farm security administration and
federal farm loan agencies. On this
plank the Young Demos went further
and specifically urged taking
farm hazards into consideration in the
income tax structure, the inclusion of
farmers under the Social Security Act
- . And the augmentation of the
rural health service.
Excellent Veterans PIanks
Both put forth good planks on vet
Grams affairs, but here again, the YD's
did a better job of it than did the
senior organization. Both favored
speedy assurance of decent and ade-
quate homes at reasonable prices;
legislation to provide jobs for veterans
that, will secure for them a living
wage or salary; compensation for dis
abled veterans and dependents of vet
Grams that comedies with the high
standard of American living.
The younger group went further,
and affirmed it is the responsibility
of grateful nation to it's fourteen
million veterans to initiate, sponsor
and promote immediate legislation:
-. which will insure to the depen-
