The Peoples Voice, Helena, Mont:
Now that the heat of battle has sub
sided, it might be well to review some
of the statements printed in your issue
of November 28th regarding the man
ager form of municipal government
and to point out few misconceptions.
City governments are known as
Councils, Commissions, Directors,
Trustees, Selectmen and other desig
nations in accordance with the laws
of the states where they are located !;
but there is only one city manager
plan and this plan is substantially
the same in all states where such
laws have been enacted
It's originators deemed it advisable
that members of the governing body
be elected by the people at large, so
that each person so elected would be
responsible to the city as whole.
Thus it was hoped to avoid some of
the older governmental evils resulting
from political wire-pulling. Candi-
dates may be nominated from differ
ent parts of city, but the election is
by vote of the people at large.
Manager Must Achieve Results
A city manager cannot become a
dictator because he is subject to re-

Louisville, Ky FTP 1--WE are not
fighting to bring the Russian system
to the us. We are fighting to bring
the American system back to the
us"
With those words former Vice Pres.
Henry A. Wallace drew cheers from
1000 persons, the largest mixed audi
ence of whites and negroes ever to
assemble here.
Wallace, in the midst of speaking
tour that is carrying him through
Ohio and down through the heart of
the south, told his enthusiastic audi
ence: "The possibility of communism
exists in the prospect of depression,
not in the scenarios of motion pictures
OF the activities of American Commu-
nists. If we are to avoid communism,
let us get democratic action on funda-
mental problems"
IF we are truly interesed in national

handicaps, has life expectancy 10

Erickson urged tn e association
members to adopt resolution oppos-
ing the Kootenai plan. President John
Stanton called a special meeting, De-
cember 10th, to consider such res
olution to which the public is invited
to attend.
Opposition to the proposal already
has been expressed by the Montana
Farmers Union, and the Park County
Trades and Labor Council at Livings-
ton.
Fred Johnson, chief of the Wild Life
Division, Region 1 of the Forest Serv-

Erickson's statement that every man,
woman and child in Troy is opposed
to the Neils cooperative agreement.
II am not going to say they are
for it," Milodragovich said, "but at

reached and it is impossible to find
mass disapproval of something that

Now, it is up to all sportsmen to

LINCOLN COUNTY FLU. IS VIG0R0USLY
OPPOSED TO NEILS TIMBER DEAL

the public is undemocratic and sug-
gestive of fascist control; therefore,
Be 1t Resolved, That the Lincoln
County Farmers Union make its op-
position to company control of public
lands known to the United States De-
national representatives and gov
ernor,
Whereas, The people of Lincoln
county are dependent to a great ex-
tent on the income derived from the
timber resources in Lincoln county,
and,
Whereas, Many of the small mill
operators would be forced to cease
operations, because of controls exer-
cised by a corporation preventing
them from competing, and depriving
them of their equitable right and share
of the proceeds from the Public Lands
in Lincoln county.
Be 1t Further Resolved, that this
undemocratic, non-competitive agree
ment by and between the j. Neils Lum-
Der Company and the United States
Forest Service, be publicized, in order
that the people of Lincoln county
may be informed of the despicable
land grab, that to date is being put
quietly into effect under the name
of a cooperative sustained yield
agreement"
Resolved Further, That the secre-
tary be instructed to send a copy of
these resolutions to our state and ma
tional representatives and governor,
as well as to the Farmers Union News,
the Farmers Union Herald, the Ma
tional Union Farmer, the Peoples
Voice, and the Western News.

to it. Instead of selling, GTA stored
the flax. AS a result of this opera
ton, GTA made over a million dol
lars" for its flaxseed patrons, when
the ceilings were lifted and flaxseed
went to 81 a bushel
After reviewing the constant at.
tacks made on GTA since it's incep-
ton, Thatcher made it clear that the
milling interests are not associated
with the attack, "They appear to
have accepted the cooperative system
as part of the economy" he stated.
1.-The heads of several of the largest
institutions have frankly told your
general manager and others that
farmers have learned how to run their
marketing business and have a per-
feet right to do so'
Placing before the stockholders the
needs of the cooperative association
for expansion in the near future,
Thatcher asked for future expendi-
ture of $10,000,000 to cover erection
of new facilities at Superior, Wis;
for a large ST. Paul river elevator to
specialize in the handling of barley:
for large elevator at Grand Forks,
ND, and for a substantial terminal
elevator at Sioux City.
"It should be possible to raise much
of this $10,000,000 from the farmers
in the northwest by offering the notes
Of GTA at three percent interest per
annum payable within 20 years but
subject to call within five years." he
declared.

ARE C0MMIES AT FAULT

Dear Editors:


Congratulations on the job The P v.
did for the citizens of Helena on the
milk business. Maybe some of them
will stop underwriting the ACM by
buying the local propaganda sheet and
subscribe to The p. V. instead. Ger
! tainly by now it should be clear to the
sIowest intellect that a company
which could sell defective wire to the
armed services wouldn't worry about
detail like impure milk for babies.
But the business of getting import
ant information from the state gov
eminent to the people is enormously
difficult with the kind of daily press
Montana has. I am interested in just
how the mayor got his proclamation
abroad-did he resort to a town crier?
| suppose the bacteria in the milk
couldn't have some connection with
Russia could it? That might make it

dream of London bankers If the OAR
danelles were open freely to Russian
development of Russia by Free Trade
with the world and home industry, all
would prevent of itself foreign ex-
ploitation. Thus for 100 years Britain
and France bottled the Black Sea-
region, fought wars to keep the OAR
danelles under the dead hand of Tur-
key. We are now taking the role that
helped bankrupt Britain and France
The two century old plan grows
harder with the years. Napoleon tried
it. The invasion reduced him from
being the Emperor of most of Europe
to a prisoner at st. Helena. Hitler
tried it, and Berlin was crumbled by
point blank gun fire of Soviet artiI-
lery.
And now we are preparing to try it.
1t is harder job than ever before.
A fair guess is that Soviet scientists
can by now make atom bombs as stern
as we can. They can surely guide
robot planes to New York as cleverly
as we guided one lately across the
Atlantic and brought it down on a
landing field in England without a
hand touching control in $500 miles.
And it is all so stupid Why not
build up our own fair land instead of
planning to spend billions of money
and millions of boys to get another
domain to be exploited by the 400
families of Amsterdam, Paris, London
and New York.
Most people know that if Marshall
and Truman would go before the
United Nations and offer to com
rletely disarm the United States, if
Russia would coincidently disarm, the
offer would be gladly accepted and
the promise fulfilled. Russia has
been trying for such an agreement

We hear no screams of fear from
such as are in the Soviet sphere.
There is no cry to us for food from
