chiefly the large diaries in
Great Falls, as evidence that
the price the consumer pays
should be raised.
John Dusak, speaking for the con-
sumers, pointed out there is already a
great difference between what the
farmer producer gets and what the
consumer pays. Dusak said the man
who owns the COWS, barns, equipment
approximately cents of the consum-
ers' II cents while the distributors
who only pastuerize, bottle and deliver
get about cents. While admitting
the farmer should get more for his
part of the bargain, Dusak said there
was no good reason for increasing
the take of the middleman. He cited
the experience of the Williston Farm
ers Union Coop Creamery in handling
whole milk for 4 cents a quart. The
Williston Coop pays its producers 10
cents quart, one cent more than
Great Falls producers get and is still
able to retail the milk to the consum
ers for 16 cents a quart, one cent less
than Great Falls people pay. Further
more, records of the Coop reveal it is
furnishing higher quality of product
with more than 4 per cent butterfat
content whereas only small per cent
of premium milk in Great Falls has
that test.
Several Great Falls housewives tes-
titled showing the acuteness of the
problem of trying to provide milk for
their youngsters on limited incomes

out of the bag by President

represent Johnson, made some of the

the Federated Press and other news

HELENA MILK CONSUMERS
IN PROTEST

Spontaneous opposition to a pro-
posed 2-cent per quart increase in the
price of milk, at the milk control
board hearing Tuesday night, led by
two of Helena's younger attorneys,
and a lady member of the school board,
would seem to indicate the request of
the petitioning dairymen will be de-
MED
Since the dairymen apparently failed
to conclusively show need for price
increase, as is required by the milk
control act, a motion was placed be-
fore the board that the proceedings
! be dismissed.
| An alternative motion was, that
consumer price differentiaI be estab
| lished by the board as to type of milk
being sold lie, pastuerized, raw and
as to distribution. Since, admittedly
it costs dairymen more to make in
dividual deliveries than for wholesale
deliveries to stores, it was felt that the
consumer should receive the benefit of
a lower price when he served as his
own deliveryman from the store to his
home
The two attorneys were: Wesley
WertZ, state code commissioner, and
Paul Keller, and the lady member of
the school board was Mrs Irving

lands and bad lands, more than 49,
100000 acres of dry farming and grass
lands, at least 100000 acres of which
can be reached by irrigation water.
Reclamation Bureau Plans Only

After deducting for reservoir evap-
Grafton remaining water supply will
be sufficient for 81 to 31a million
acres of irrigation. Bureau of Rec
lamation plans now call for only 714,-
600 acres of irrigation. The Recla-
nation boys will be fortunate if the
Army Engineers leave them enough
water to reclaim the area they have
laid out, since it is largely Yellow
stone water upon which Army Engi-
neers depend to fill the gigantic reser-
voirs they have now started to build
down in the two Dakotas. 1t will be
largely Yellowstone water that keeps
the proposed 5000 to 5000 foot wide

City to river mouth.
You list flood control as the second
item in Importance. 1t is agreed that
Montana has very much less need for
such protection than Iowa. However
we do have floods and flood losses.
All of this can be stopped by a fair

SURE-FIRE DEPRESSION FORMULA is offered TO
REPUBLICAN GOTH CONGRESS

On the basis of the record of the
80th congress, the following in my
opinion is an almost sure-fire formula
for a continuation of the flight toward
depression that will dwarf all pre-
vious depressions.
1t will also keep the Republican
party's record intact for its consist
ency in bringing about periods of
boom and bust throughout the history
of that party.
This formula for panic and catas-
trophe would include the following
policies:
1. Abolish rent controls and leave
the building cycle free to soar and
smash on bigger scale than ever
Do nothing to plan housing for the
masses of low and moderate income
families, or to regulate private or
public construction activities.
2. Stave off antitrust enforcement,
give the big corporations whatever
favors they ask, and encourage further
participation of business in domestic
and international cartels.
3. Loan money freely to other coun-
tries at high rates-but repeal the
Trade Agreement Act and pass new
higher tariffs so they can never pay
us back.
4. Cut federal and state appropria-
tions for economic services to farm
ers, labor, and business, so that pri-
vate enterprise can again engage in
inventory booms and other in-and-out
activities untroubled by knowledge
of what it is doing.
s. Take off all restrictions on the
use of credit for purchases of securi-

ties and consumer goods, SO that
these temporary and unstabilizing
factors in the economy can regain
their old Vigor.
6. Repeal the remaining farm legis-
lation and other stabilizing institutions
in agriculture, and leave farmers to
the tender mercies of supply and de-
mand, both in domestic and foreign
trade
z. Reduce income taxes sharply,
especially on upper bracket incomes.
Raise the revenues we need by sales
taxes, tariffs, and other indirect taxes
that cut the buying power of mass
consumers.
8. Repeal and emasculate the Wag-
ner Labor act and the Social Security
act, and abolish the Security and Elk
change Commission.
8. Damn the United Nations and
re-establish dollar diplomacy and act
solely on our own in foreign affairs.
10. Refuse to pass valley authority
legislation such as MVA, eva, AVA,
and others, so as to throttle all land,
water and other resource develop
ment that does not pay a direct and
unearned toll to private monopolies.
IL. Continue to make high profits
the Sacred Cow, continue the spiral
Of initiation and hold wages at a min
imum.
This complex formula is respectfully
suggested to the Renuhlican congress-
and statesmen. If faithfully followed,
it should enable us to make the next
great depression one to end all depres-
sions. Or, in any event, one great
enough to end private enterprise and
private apitalism-T.R.S

Beyond that most of the contents

of squaring with the record and of

of the Yellowstone valley would seem
to be poor place to sound off about
what the last congress did for western
development, particularly irrigation,
which the congressman rates as of
first Importance. If there is any area
in the whole drainage of the Missouri
river that is taking licking and get
ting the hasty go by in the matter of
present congressional plans and ap-
preparations, for future development,
it is the Yellowstone valley, partic-
ularly that portion of it which lies
in Montana. Here, Mr.. Congressman
are the facts:
The Yellowstone carries a consid-
erably larger volume of water than
the Missouri river in Montana, and
because it is much shorter from
source to confluence has a larger fall

 Freshman Harry Taylor, uhosc third straight pitching victory coin cided with Brooklyn's arrival in first place, is hailed in F'latbush as the man who could pitch the Dodgers to the National League pennant.
 Beaten in his first big league start at Cincinnati, May 13, Taylor did time in the bullpen, relieving five times before Manager Burt Shotton gave him another starting chance against the New York Giants. Fay Tor humiliated the Giants home run sluggers, 14-2, with a five-hitter and followed with another of the same against St. Louis, beating Harry Brecheen, an old Dodger jinx.

 The win boosted the Brooks into the lead because the Giants and the Chicago Cubs, who had been tied for first place, split doubleheader at the Polo Grounds.
