"Dan's Confused"
Says Lee In Tax
Sales Discussion

In reply to an accusation by
Senator Roy Tasco Davis that the
Democrats did not fight the sales
tax" Col E. Brooke Lee has re-
piled that Senator Davis seems
confused both as to recent legisla-
tive responsibility and happen
ings." Col. Lee thinks it important
that the people of the county have
clearer view Of the Legislative
situation that can be gained from
the Senator's attack.
Col. Lee points out that when
the voters of the county last No
vember elected Republican Sem
ator and Delegates to the Legis-
lature at Annapolis, they gave to
them the voters and the opportun-
ity to represent them in legislative
matters and at the same time they
deprived the county Democrats of
both the responsibilities and the
opportunities in that direction.
"At the beginning of the sales
tax fight" Col. Lee states, II sug-
gested to number of the local
party friends of Senator Davis
and the members Of the Delega-
ton, because on the record no d.
rect suggestion from me would
have received anything but con-
temptuous treatment from them,
that the wise course from the
standpoint of the people of Mont
gomery County for the Republican
delegation would be to support
the sales tax and also an exemp-
ton from the suburban portions
of their County. These suburban
business centers are most directly
exposed to competition from
Washington and are the location
in which the greater part of the
transactions which are subject to
the sales tax, other than agricul-
tural, are located. Their seven
votes coupled with the consider
able number of other Republican
Senators and Delegates who voted
for the sales tax would have been
enough to get an exemption for
suburban Montgomery County had
they stood together.
Senator Davis and his collea-
CUES chose however to vigorously
attack the Democratic Governor.
They lost and their constituents
will pay.
81 again state that in previous
sessions of the legislature when
the sales tax was offered or pro-
posed, Democratic representatives
from Montgomery County were
able to defeat the proposal. SEN
ator Davis and his associates were
not, and they we're not sufficiently
wise to secure any kind of an ex-
emption for their people,"

Voters Urged To
Study Proposed
County Charter

The Montgomery County Chart
er Committee has described the
Charter which was submitted
Thursday to the County Commits
sioners as ian instrument of genu-
inc home rule through which the
people of Montgomery County can
at last rid themselves of oppres-
sive absentee control"
The Committee urges every vot-
er to "study the Charter carefully
for himself, and not be misled by
distortions which may be spread
by the opponents of Charter home
rule"
The Committee further stated:
"The Charter gives the citizens
of the County the chance to gov
ern themselves. 1t is an instrument
of genuine home rule through
which the people of Montgomery
County can at last rid themselves
of oppressive absentee control.
"The Charter has been drafted
openly by five fair-minded citi-
zens. 1t represents the views of
thousands of County voters who
appeared at hearings, or wrote the
Charter Board to express their
views. It is an expression of the
popular demand for better county
government.
Every County voter should now
consider it his duty to study the
Charter carefully for himself, and
not be misled by distortions which
may be spread by the opponents
of Charter home rule"

Montana labor news., 1947-04-24

Businessmen got so worked up about the
terrific job the United Electrical & Radio
Workers did in their movie "Dead1ine For
Action that it's a neck-and-neck race now
whether more workers or more bosses will
see the film before it wears out.
Montana labor news., 1947-04-24

We had this same trend in the United States
when the depression of 1929 f~lattened the
country. We had to pry ourselves out win
strong federal action.
The situation also indicates there are
many values other than mere income when
must be taken into consideration in any sys-
TEN. The social security system of the United
States mus. be strengthened and everything
possible done to keep up full employment.
Otherwise the present tolerance of free enter
prise can quickly wither. and a new program
can quickly be endorsed by the electorate.
We do not believe that the congress is act
ing wisely in the present hour to preserve the
free enterprise system. Someone said the 9TH
er day that congress has done everything to
bring about a depression. Its attack upon
labor is not one that is conducive to creating
good feeling. and good feeling is necessary to
the success of any program. If free enterprise
is to mean only freedom for big business. and
not for labor too, big business cannot expect
the loyalty of labor.
Montana labor news., 1947-04-24
WORLD TRENDS

The world is shrinking. What happens in
one country is of more interest today to other
countries than in any other time in history.
The New York Times has done a sound repor-
torial job. 1t sent reporters throughout the
world to discover the trend in free enterprise.
The picture brought back is not one of unmix-
ed optimism. In fact. only two countries in
the world now have a free enterprise system
the United States and Canada. The rest
are moving in the direction of government
controls. The New York Times reporter re-
ports that Britain's naturalization program
has planned to leave 80 per cent of the eco
nomic system in private hands, but of course
hedged about by government restrictions.
France has had a mixed economy since the
end of the war. France appears to be reluct-
ant to eliminate free enterprise. Italy is going
nationalistic.
Then, what Of Sweden? Sweden is now
following a program of slow but sure absorp-
ton of the bulk Of big business and industry.
Australia. a country that one might think
would retain the free enterprise system. owns
and controls many major industries. All this
has profound significance to the United
States. 1t is plain that this nation which has
a margin-that is, considerable capital and
a strong production system-is likely to con-
tinue in the free enterprise column. Those
who are pushed into a sub-marginal position
are likely to resort to government controls.

JOE BALL

There is a question frequently on the lips
of Washington citizens these days-What is
it that Joe Ball wants? No one is capable of
answering this question accurately. Maybe
Joe Ball himself can. He seems to have a well
organized campaign to put himself over to
the public as the leader of reaction in this
country. He has reversed many of his former
positions in order to voice the sentiments of
reactionary business men. Joe is seldom clear
in his own mind concerning his own so-called
principles. He has said from a radio platform
frequently: II am trying to protect the min
ority.' He of course means that he is trying
to look after the non-union men and the in
dependent unions in industry. If protecting
a minority is a noble principle, why should
mt Mr.. Ball apply it to the national economy
and try to protest the minority in the country
namely labor. If he believes in protecting
minorities, why doesn't he try to protect race
minorities, and as well as labor, groups which
seem to be disadvantaged by the present set
up. He is a great person for rationalizing his
prejudice.
If Joe Ball thinks that he is fooling many
American citizens, he is mistaken. They have
his number.

SO Enthusiasts of All Ages Join
Snake Hunt in Rock Creek Park

On the way back, Mr.. Fowler de-
bunked snake myths and answered
questions. One woman, who was
scared to death of the things
but had made herself go on the
hike, said she thought all snakes
were dangerous.
Back at the car the snake en-
thusiasts watched a king snake
wrap around the little worm snake
in preparation for his meal. Only
one spectator gasped.
Mr.. Fowler encircled his neck with
four and a half foot bull snake
The crowd watched the snake try tc
tighten around his arm and sfoul-
der. tits funny thing about
snakes, they know if you're used te
handling them" he said. Everyone
wanted to feel the bull. He was a
bright yellow and black and had
just shed his skin. Mr.. Fowler let
him crawl in the dirt but stopped
him as he tried to dart up a pants
leg.
The women who wore nylons
didn't mind getting a few runs
After all, we've been snake hunt
ing" they said. They did mind
telling their names, however. AS
one lady put 1t:
I'm secretary in town and, well
if anybody knew was snake hiking
they'd think was crazy like snake
hunters are supposed to be. This
is my secret life"

| Six Screech Owls
| Shot for Attacks
In Silver Spring

Silver Spring apparently was free
OF sereecf1 owls today after police
were called out yesterday to shoot
six of the predatory birds which
were attacking both residents of the
area and other birds.
Mrs. Orville E. Megby. 1l6 Per.
shir1g drive, called police after her
friends and neighbors had been at
tackled by what they thought were
bats. but which turned out to be
owls.
Mrs. Harry NJ. Lerch, 718 Pershin0
drive, whose daughters had been
chased by the owls, joined in the
complaint. The birds seemed to
bother women and children in par-
ticular, swooping down and striking
them on the head, face and hands
One person was scratched on the
nand and another on the head.
The police found five of the owls
IN tree in Mrs. MegDy's back yard
yesterday and killed them with an
air pistol. They killed a sixth last
night, and Mrs. Megby said today
the nuisance is ended she hopes.
