would bring the average rental to
about SC an acre. | do not believe
this would result in any decrease in
the lands rented, but it would return
to the state schools an additional
amount of approximately 100000 an
nually.
1t would seem paradoxical to me,
il we are unable to pay rental rates
equal to 2/3 of those charged in the
1920's when the prices of commodities
produced on the lands used, today, are
the highest in history. Cattle in 1916
had risen 267a6 above the price pre-
vailing when these rentals were re-
duced in 1892

Anti-Labor Legislation
Anti-labor legislation will share a
goodly part of the congressional spot
light the last half of March. The co-or-
dinating committee has advised that
the house of representatives labor
committee will report out an overall
anti-labor bill by March 20. A similar
committee in the senate plans to have

OF
BRITISH EMPIRE:
Protested
Editor, Peoples Voice,

Sir:-T want to protest against the
proposal to have our country under
write the British Colonial Empire and
thus become the American Empire
Is this the destiny that Washington
and Lincoln and all the builders of
America have fought and worked for?
The British Empire has heen built,
generally, on the principle of allowing
the old rulers to continue their ex-
pIoitation of the people by a feudal-
istic landlord system.
In effect, they have told the old
rulers to work their side of the street,
while they, the British, worked the
other side, by exploiting the natural
resources of the country and working
the people at ten cents day in mines
and mills They have thus been in
strumental in protecting and continu-
ing these ancient systems of feudal-
ism and exploitation. They have kept
the people in extreme poverty and
ignorance
Are we now embarked upon this
kind of program, so that our bust
ness interests may invest their sur
plus gains and sell their surplus prod
ucts in these countries?

ais, how they would effect various
Montana groups, etc.. The committee
also did some investigation on pro-
posed legislation before the national
congress effecting labor, veteran and
farm groups.
At the final meeting of the com
mittee action was also taken to warn
associated organizations of the import
of several measures on the national
scene.

ADVICE
GIVEN YOUNG
Demos
Peoples Voice,
Helena, Montana

Gentlemen:
I hear that on last Sunday night at
the supper of the Young Democrats in
Helena, the appeasers in the party
were largely in control. The Demo-
cratic party has no room at all for APP
peasers. Everybody that is in favor
of soft-pedaling the shortcomings of
the opposition should get into the Re-
publican party where they belong.
When the people want reaction, they
vote for the Republicans anyway, and
level-headed progressive Democratic
voters are discouraged when they find
reactionaries running the Democratic
party.
Your paper is the torch of liberal
ism in Montana. | hear that the ap-
peasers do not like your publishing
the truth about the Republicans.
Herewith enclosed find $40 to pay
for five subscriptions to your paper
to be sent to five clerks of the court
in five counties that you may select.
Yours truly,-LOWNDES MAURY.
Copy to Frank Murray,
Clerk of Supreme Court.

TEACHERS

Montana teachers as a rule are a
pretty patient group of peOple-a
group who by the very nature of their
profession are more dedicated to serv-
ing the public on hours, and off hours,
than any other But, for all their pa
thence and their perseverance, they
can only stand so much For years
now members of the teaching fratern-
ity have been woefully underpaid
with the result that many have left
the ranks to seek more remunerative
activity in other fields of endeavor.
Those remaining did have high
hopes that the 30th legislative assem-
bly, would take some concrete steps to
make the teaching profession more
attractive. They had hopes that Sen.
Guerney Moss teacher tenure" pro-
posal and Sen. Tom Burkes mini
mum teacher salary bill would be-
come law, but those hopes were dash
ed by the ill-considered action of the
house in killing both measures. They
also had hopes that the state school
fund would be enriched by a million
and half or two million dollars as a
step toward liveable salaries. But.
this one too, went down the drain
when the house blindly refused to con-
slider any of IA major new revenue
proposals.
What To Do About 1t?
Finding themselves led into a ''box
by an anticipated legislative
majority many teachers began asking
themselves: What can we as teach
ers, by using our collective strength,
do to right the injustices thrust upon
us?'
The answer was soon forthcoming.
Realizing that men who work in over
alls over the years have had to band
together to secure economic Justice,
better working conditions, greater Sc
curity. Montana teachers, in so many
words, said We'll do the same thing
what an incompetent legislative ma
iority has denied us we will secure by
our collective strength. No contracts !
will we sign for 1947-48 unless we are |
granted salaries in line with the cost /
If living"
Accordingly, members of Montana
locals all over the state are
to make their MEA some
hing more than a cultural society
Tor the emergency at least, they are
sing MEA chapters as a centralizing
gency to make known their econom-
c demands much the same as teach
rs in Butte, Anaconda, Great Falls, :
and other cities of the state
Sc their locals of the American Fed :
ration of Teachers (AFL). ,
A questionable sent out just the {
other day from Helena to Montana {
MEA chapters has already brought
back more than a score of assur- {
ances that teachers in those chap i
ters will refuse to sign 1947-1943
contracts unless they are granted
salary increases.
