Proposed Profit.
Dividend Cuts

Washington (LPA)-In a reply
to the QUESTIONABLE sent to bus
mess and union top officials by the
Joint Congressional Committee on
the Economic Report, President
Joseph Beirne last week said that
many industries should reduce
their profits and dividend pay
ments.
Bierne pointed out that last year
profits after taxes were 9.2%o of
our national income-even higher
than the "cost-plus" days of World
War III when profits were around
Sc of income.
"Many industries, particularly
public utilities, represent non-com-
petitive, riskless enterprises and
their rates of interest should be
closer to the 21aI rate paid by the
U. S. government, rather than to
the 6%o and higher rates paid by
many corporations" the CWA
head wrote to Congress.
"Alleged chronological improve
ment and expansion at the price of
a lowered standard of living for
American workers and their fam
lilies would defeat the entire pur-
pose of our society and community
interests.
Completely overlooked are the
substantial number of skilled work
ers, white collar workers, and semi
skilled workers whose wages, while
higher today than in 1889 in terms
of dollars, are actually lower than
in 1889 in terms of purchasing
power. This condition exists for
most workers in the telephone in
dustry, for example.
Moreover, even if the dollar
wages of telephone workers and
the majority of others had kept
pace with the real value of their
1889 wages, these wages would
not be in proper proportion to
other factors in the economy. The
standard of living cosistent with
an average wage of $44 per week
does not represent the American
ideal of the best possible standard
of living for its workers." he said.

and catering for crews on ships,
certification Of ships cooks and
able seamen, social security, medi-
cal examination Of seafarers, crew
accommodations, wages, hours and
ship working conditions.
The recommendations also con-
cerned medical care of seafarers'
dependents and training for sea
service.
Mr.. Truman told the Senate in
his message that many of the pro-
visions "fall far short of standards
already in effect in the American
merchant marine"
At the same time the President
declared that general acceptance
of the proposals by member coun-
tries would result in progress
where it was most needed.

BIackfeet Plan To
Collect Huge Debt;
On To Washington

A small group of Blackfeet
Indians, we learn from the Pion-
eer Press of last week, recently
met in the law Office of S. J. Rig
ney at Cut Bank to discuss plans
for collection of the huge sum of
money owed the Blackfeet Tribe
as we'll as other tribes in the
United States by the govern
ment.
In attendance at the meeting
was J. ]. Galbreath, who said
after the meeting that a delega-
ton of the BIackfeet Tribe would
probably soon go to Washington
to press the tribes claim.

claim is an elaborate photograph

Everyone should recognize this
appeal and contribute to the full

If disaster should visit this Sec

would be at the scene at once to
give financial aid.
A few weeks ago when Babb
was pub cized as a
snowbound community a field
worker arrived in Browning from
Minot, N. D. to investigate the
need. Had there been a need, the
Red Cross treasury would have
yielded appropriate financial aid.
Indeed the Red Cross is a true
friend of communities and in
dividuals, who have a valid claim
for aid.

Sheep, Cattle
Replace Now
Growers Concern

With winter lingering, outlook
for replacement of sheep and
cattle that were sold by Black
feet Reservation growers early
this year to outside buyers is yet
in the formative stage. However,
growers have courage and op-
timism, and believe that once
again they get foundation stock,
they will forge ahead with rapid
success.
With prospect of the b e s
grazing opportunities in years
because of moisture conditions,
besides yields of wild hay that
should be exceptionally heavy,
the problem of feed is far from
worriment.
1t is conceded that the cost of
replacement will be high, yet
considerable of it will be made.
Whatever the outcome of re-
placement, every available acre
of grazing land will be rented to
outside gro wers and every ton of
wild hay suited for harvest will
be in stacks for the next winter
season.

The Browning Rod and Gun
Glib held a meeting in the Veg

ant quests in its program this
year, dominant of which is the
restocking of Lakes and streams

Kipp lake, it was pointed out,
needs to be screened in order to
eliminate carp that trout may
survive. thus making it most
desirable for fishing.
1t was pointed out that with
heavy fishing by tourists and
others in this section in summer
time, the need of heavy paintings
in streams and lakes is more ur-
gent than in sections of the state
where circumstances are differ
ent.
The Browning Rod and Gun

Apathy Shown
In Town Election
Of April 7

According to an abstract pre-.
pared for the Town of Browning
for the biennial election to- be
held April z, 5O4 voters are listed.
This is so less than two years
ago.
The heavy decrease is attribut-
ed to failure of eligible persons
to register.
Very little interest in candi-
dacies still continues. Present
members of the board of alder
men and mayor are refusing to
be candidates for reelection,
which if carried out will mean
an entirely new board and may
or.
With no hold-overs to carry on,
contrary to the principle exist
ing in electing county commiss-
toner's and school trustees, the
election of an entirely new group
could get the Town of Browning
into a sorry scheme of things.
Now that much Wanted post
war is here, there is need of an
administration that will carry on
! with foresight and with regard
for the greatest good for the
greatest number.
All in all, the retiring board
has done magnificent job, out
standing of which has been the
year after year reduction of the
towns financial Indebtedness.
But should we permit all of
them to retire because of the
good that the group has done?
