jointly financed by the Chest, the
City of Greensboro and member
ship fees. The agency was admit
ted to the Chest in June this year
by action of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Chest.
Special ALLEGATION
A special ALLEGATION of $3.50 a
month has been provided for
five months of the current year
until the new campaign alloca-
tions are available. The Youth
Center was activated in July and
meets a long-felt need in the
community for properly super
vised recreational activity for
boys and girls from Is to 20
years of age.
Second largest increase to any
is proposed for the Red
Shield Boys club. This organiza-
tion, which is entirely supported
by the Community Chest, has in
creased it's membership from 227
to 474 and has an average at
tendance of more than 100
a day. The expansion
has been so rapid and the pro-
gram so worthwhile that the
194S budget provides for an as
sistant to work not only with
the present. members but to pro-
vide for continuing expansion
of the program.

Plans discussed at the meet
ing of the directors, included
ways and means of charging
the organizations membership
and development of an educational
program to offset the false propagan-
da as to the purposes and methods of
the authority plan for development
of the resources of river regions, and
give to the people of the state an
accurate and factual picture of the
operations of an authority as demon
strated in the Tennessee valley by
the IVA.
The current opposition by the Mon
tana Power company to appropria-
tons for construction of the Hungry
Horse dam was discussed and res
olution was adopted, lauding Con-
gresham Mansfield for his militant
work for the project and criticizing
Congressman D'Ewart and Senator
Ecton for their reported attitude to-
ward the project which is of such
vital interest to the state.
Resolution
The resolution as adopted follows:
Whereas, The Montana MVA Assoc
citation is in favor of every resource
development project that is sound in

Whereas, The Hungry Horse prof.

MSG CIRCULAR WARNS

Fl. r. Stucky and Harold Halcrow
are authors of a circular, HOOKING
AHEAD WITH MONTANA FARM
ERS AND RANCHERS," issued Jan
uary, 1947, by Montana State College
at Bozeman. Significant comments
are made on the price of land in
Montana and it's relation to farm
mortgages. H. I. Stucky is extension
economist for the Montana Extension
Service and Harold Halcrow is agri-
cultural economist at the Montana
Agricultural Experiment Station. Here
is what they say:
eff you are planning to retire, you
will not find more favorable time to
sell. You should be certain that your
security is good, if you sell on credit
A 500 loan on Montana land today
is equal to the full price of land in
1910.
eff you have heavy mortgage on
your home place you run the risk of
losing everything if farm incomes
drop. One-third of the people who
bought land during the past year have

More Opposition to SB 90

Further opposition to approval by
Governor Ford of SD 90, house and
senate approved state electrification
authority measure. this morning was
forth coming from William j. Priest
vice president of the Park County
Trades & Labor Council, Livingston.
Mr.. Priest sent the following telegram
in opposition to SD 80 to Governor
Ford:
Hon Sam c. Ford, Governor
Is it not fact that SB 92, state
identification authority bill is of
doubtful constitutionality? That arti-
Gle Is, section of the Montana state
constitution states no legislature shall
ever abridge the right of eminent
domain? Does not SD 80 abridge that
right? Therefor is not SD 80 uncon-
stitutional and should be vetoed as
detrimental to citizens of Montana?
Please advise.

SB92 is SINISTER
PROPOSAL. SAYS
ANDERSON

Representative Anderson, Democrat
from Pondera, who has proven to be
one of the really outstanding mem
bers of the 1947 lower house, We'd
nesday in explaining his opposition to
the proposed state electrification
authority, by Wallace of Lake, had
this to say about SB 80:
There is no honest need of this
legislation. So far no single case has
come to light of the condemnation or
even the attempted condemnation of
any one of the "a little plants for
whom such unusual concern has been
expressed.
Gentlemen: Senate Bill 80 is per-
haps the most sinister and the most
dangerous bill we have yet consid-
cred:
Part C of this bill states, acquire
shall mean and include construct,
acquire by purchase, lease, devise,
gift, or the exercising the right of
eminent domain, except as to existing
utilities,
I'm the opinion of some of the best
legal brains in the state, this means
the identification authority not only
may not exercise the right of eminent
domain with respect to existing util-
tiles" but may not acquire by pur-
chase, lease. devise or gift" with re-
spect to existing utilities
That may well mean the complete
cessation of all REA development in
the state of Montana through inabil-
ity to acquire IN ANY MANNER
WHATSOEVER right of ways or nee
essary facilities for expansion"
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1947-02-28

to be confronted with the need for
special session.
The Constitution especially provides
that appropriations cannot be made
unless the money is to be available
i'm other words the budget must be
balanced. Governor Ford has said
that he viii veto appropriation bills
for which revenue is not available.
The house has seen fit to ACCEPT
recommendations of the revenue and
taxation committee killing all possible
avenues Of revenue, with the excep-
tion of cigarette tax, punch board
tax, and the slot machine tax, which,
Of course, makes slot machines legal
in the state of Montana.
1t has been commonly agreed by
members of the appropriations com
mittee and the revenue and taxation
committee that the budget cannot be
balanced if these revenue measures
fail to pass both houses and be signed
by the governor.
The house, by its action in adopting
committee reports on the
many tax bills, in effect killed the
school reorganization bill. In other
words, the house applied the extreme

just week before the primary cleo
ton of last year. In view of the way
Barker and his fellow "Gestapo" mem
bers performed in thumbing their col

man Hickenlooper that perjury
charge is much too mild-that hang

PERJURY CHARGE:

Washington, Feb. 24-The senate
committee reviewing David e. Lilien-

today considered perjury proceedings
against a key witness who testified
that communist activities went on un-

The perjury allegation grew out of
testimony by Robert B. Barker,
former investigator for the house I'M

claimed that in 1910 he uncovered

then was a director of the agency

Activities, had no other purpose
than that described above by
Eisler, hysteria, anti-communist
panic, and the laying of ground
work for the pogrom to follow.
When a tactic is used again,
do not look for exact parallels.
The Nazis did things their way;
we do things our way.
There is a time and a place
for everything, and to even the
most anxious and psychopathic
bourbon mind in Washington,
the situation was not yet ripe
for an actual act of incendiar-

no doubt, acts of provocation
will become more vulgar, but

That was the significance of the at
tack that took place recently on How
ard Fast's book "Citizen Tom Paine
In New York, the board of school

book from use in the public schools.
It was dangerous combination, they
decided.

Tom Paine-a great novelist and great
historian - Howard Fast.

of Chicago or any American community
must react to such an edict.
This is more than stupidity and back
wardness. This is a kind of treason and
kind of fascism that generally go to-
gether.
And this is the sign Of a time when
pure American history and the record
of struggle for freedom and democracy
becomes a dangerous idea in the minds
of certain official educators"

more grandiose and startling.
On February q, 1888, they set
fire to the Reichstag Building,
discovered the blaze they had
themselves started, extinguish-
ed it, accused the Communists
of the fire, and then paraded
before Germany as the saviors
of the country.
This provocation also served
as a signal for the mass po-
grom they had planned. Tens
of thousands of Social-Demo-
Gratis, Communists, liberals,
Jews, Catholics, and Germans
of every class were arrested,
brutally tortured, and foully
murdered by Nazi gangs sworn
in as auxiliary policemen. The
Nazi barracks dripped with the
blood of the tortured and the
slain. The terrorist gangs be-
came pillars of law and order;
torture became an official meth
cd of the new Reich; pogroms
became feats of patriotism"
DO YOU not find familiar
ring in these words? History
is an ironic lady, and it was
one of her more or less intern
perate jests that made Eisler
himself the central factor in a
latter-day Reichstag Fire scare.

buffonery that was played out
