THE OLD so AND
SO SAYS:

If the people of the state of Mon
tana send b. X. Wheeler back tt
the senate again this year they viii
have done all they can to start q
chain of events which may and prob
| ably will lead to the third and last
World War The bomb that wiped Nag
asaki off the map annihilated lot
of out-worn ideas as well as matter
When gun powder explodes-or any
other substance matter merely
changes form, though often with ter
rifle results but that bomb wasn't an
explosion in that sense. When it ex-
ploded matter disappeared, reverted
to the primal force which in fact it
has always been. AS small boy said
at just amt no more" But it did not
destroy the hate that lives in the
hearts of some men. No one but a
fool would say that the path to peace,
to an understanding with Russia or
with other nations, is or will be an
easy one but the reverberations of
that bomb which destroyed Nagasaki
and still ringing in the ears of man
kind and telling in awful and fear
some tones that destruction lies ahead
unless it's lessons are needed B. K.
Wheeler has made himself the expon-
ent of isolation, of a policy which
would disrupt the good relations we
have had with Britain, which would
inevitably lead the Russians to be
more suspicious of us than they now
are No one has ever heard him ut
ter a kind word for our allies. Events
have taken this country quite some
fort for peace through understanding
To send B. X. Wheeler to the senate
again is to put there the most bitter
opponent of that policy in the coun-
try. To elect him again means to jeop-
ardize all efforts. to avoid war through
just trying to get along with other
peoples. The primaries on July 10th
will be watched from all parts of the
civilized world for the reason that we
have got to be for something either
peace or war-and B. X. Wheeler will
proclaim himself pacifist and oppose
every uOueSI mOFS, every SluC6Ie I'll
fort, every decent proposal which
might lead to peace for that is the
kind of a man he is and that is the
course he has set for himself.
Writing for the Ladies' Home Jour
nal and referring to hotel in New
York city very prominent in those
days, long forgotten journalist had
this to say:
"The chambermaids do not have a
hard time and are well paid for their
work. They receive wages of $12 a
and their hours begin at in
the morning and end at 6 at night"
This appeared in the June issue.
1896.
"The good old days!"

Continued from Page Four

when Wheeler opens his door in the
senate office building to Gerald L. K
Smith. and confers with him on plans
to set up a fascist committee of one
hundred" when Wheeler makes a
four-hour speech in the United States
senate attacking and vilifying the
UNO, when Wheeler does these things
he is mocking every American boy
who lies in his grave or suffers in
some hospital bed, who fought to
stamp out the barbaric face of fascism
that the rest of us might live as free
men. He is also hooking every la
boring man as in every talk and ac-
ton he reveals his cynical attitude
toward the people who elected him
to office.
Many people believe that Wheeler
is the man he was in his younger days
when he took the side of the common
man. That man is dead. There is doc
umentary proof that since 1885, for
at least the last 10 years, Wheeler has
been reactionary, has talked and voted
the Companies" way, Hitler's way and
against the people of this state
In order to get the truth about
Wheeler to William Green and to all
our members in Montana we hereby
respectfully request that the Cascade
County Trades and Labor Assembly
have copies of this entire resolution
sent to all the national officers of the
American Federation of Labor and to
every ALL union board in the state
of Montana. We urge these officials
and locals to study the above docu-
mentary information.

MORE EQUITABLE INCOME TAX Law IS
ASKED FOR STOCK GROWERS BY
JUDGE Left ERICKSON
Average Tax On Livestock Income Over 5Year Period
Present Law Is Keeping Cattle On Range Since
Taxation Is Almost Confiscatory

Revision of the federal income tax
laws would result in immediate mark
citing of cattle, hogs, sheep and grain,
1t was stated this week by Judge Left
Erickson. candidate for United States
senator on the Democratic ticket.
1.-THE best practical means of Sc
curing immediate marketing of large
numbers of beef animals and many
thousands of bushels of grain has been
overlooked, said Erickson. There are
today, on the ranches of Montana,
untold thousands of heads of cattle
that would be marketed if the income
tax laws were revised Immediately"
Erickson stated that great many
cattle are being held back by ranchers
because their sale now would result
in almost confiscatory income tax on
their sales proceeds.
81 have talked to many ranchers,"
he said, "who tell me that they have
cattle ready to go and which they nor
mally would market but, because of
the fact that in many cases the tax
would be almost confiscatory, the ami
mails are being held until the next
tax year. While some provision is
made in the present law to permit
spreading the income tax over several
years, it is so complicated that most
ranchers and farmers do not know of
it's existence"
Urqes Immediat Revision of Law
Judge Erickson, in his statement,
urged that the law be revised imme-
diately to permit the payment of in
come tax on a five-year average.
Farming is not an annual opera
ton, particularly in the raising of
beef" he said. "The laws should be
revised to take this into account. The
beef critter sold today is the result
of years Of building a herd and the
years required to grow out the animal.
The laws should be revised to take
this into account AS the law now
stands it interferes drastically with
the normal operation of Montana
ranches. The ranchers must take into
account the tax he will pay as well
as the normal price and the condition
of his beef animals. Under normal OPP
erations marketing is planned, not
only for the price but for efficiency
in ranching operation. Thus, in some
years without an income tax market
ing will be light and in other years
heavy.

"The income tax law could be
amended to make the proposed five
years average plan simple and work
able" Judge Erickson continued, 1T
would involve a minimum of paper
work and guessing. AS long term
program it would be great benefit to
the farmers and would do away with
much of the injustice now existing
under the present income tax law and
in addition would fill the meat count
ers of the United States"
Judge Erickson also stated that the
act should also be amended so as to
give the farmer the same privileges
now enjoyed by corporations, to set
aside from each years income a rea-
sonable amount for a reserve fund.
This amount should be tax free and
would provide cushion against live
stock or feed failure.
