lot Of heck raised via the ballyhoo route dur
ing the campaign "furrin" money coming into
Montana from the PAC from Moscow from this outfit
from that outfit, to finance the Democratic
pagn In fact certain groups played mighty loose with
the truth in their accusations. Now that ballots
have all been counted and take peek at the
costs the campaign it begins appear the COP
put out than a buck per vote, whereas that
much maligned organization the Montana Council for
Progressive Political Action spent the tremendous
of s37266-and every dollar of it raised amongst
Montana citizens.
And speaking further of 'furrin' influence as ex-
empified by the late, unamented Montana Citizens
Council, in its deliberately faacious Moscow Pulls
the Strings ., did you know that the Queen of
Holland repeatedly Pulls the Strings" that grand
old American corporation the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company?
Reminiscng just bit that royal Democrat, Will
helmina-his is the old gal who during Hollands
darkest hours, promised the late Franklin Roosevelt
that the Dutch would grant independence the Indo
nesians as soon Nazism defeated Thousands of
Indonesian dead attest to the sincerity of the good
queen and her financial burghers For further details

Adding additional weight to the strong opposition
expressed by Montana labor and the Montana Farmers
Union the Montana Farm Bureau in convention this
in Helena, also went record being opposed
to the imposition of any kind of SALES TAX the
people state in the forthcoming legislature Good
enough it's going take the united determination of
all peoples organizations in the state to prevent the
saddng of such the already over-burdened
shoulders the people by the big financial in
terests who seem to have 'insde track" with
large segment of the newly-elected legislature.
AS look at the thermometer the heavy snow
blanket and my fast dwindling coal supply am
WINGED that this is ideal John L. Lewis weather.
One Cop campaign promise that seems to be in a
fair way to being compromised regards the proposed
900 per cent cut" Now that the election out of
the way comes light that of the older heads
in the grand old party counciling their impeu-
budget butchers to go easy tax reductions.
There is however chance that compromise may be
effected between the two groups-that Incorporation
taxes may be Topped another 20 per cent while the
average citizen continues to pay through the
pre-November 5.
An elderly Montanan asks the question "Why does
the Peoples Voice defend Russia? Curiously enough
we had never thought of it in that term Rather it's
been our aim to bring readers picture of what
actually happening the foreign front-not what
the ACMdaily press conjures to be happening Any
way, defending otherwise, shall continue
whether on Russia the exorbtant rates charged
by the Montana Power monopoy-to bring to read
ers the news unadultered and unshaded-that is the
purpose of the Peoples Voice-Montanas only state
wide independent newspaper.
