 There was considerable discus, sion on the operation of small boat harbors The various city of ficials compared operation of small boat harbors, services and mooring charges and the feasibility of inn posing some form of a personal property tax on small boats using municipal facilities.
 In some localities, it was men tioned that complaints have been received over permitting boats to remain tax free while taxing autos and other vehicles using the city streets. All of the city heads agreed that some method of taxation Is necessary and just. Further study is to be made by all concerned on methods of financing and main- taining their small boat harbors.
 Other topics brought up during the three day meeting included possible establishment of a sales tax in all cities, revision of basic city ordinances, better liquor en- forcement, utility rates and serv- ices, temporary care of minor children by city authorities while awaiting disposition of their cases by a U. S Commissioner and the Territorial Department of Public Welfare, juvenile delinquency and , the juvenile code methods of tax ation and property assessment, and possibility of improving mail and passenger service via small boats to outlying districts.

 Business indications were that the gross revenue tax would wind up with the end of June quarter. The law provides that when $3,-I 250.000 has been collected into theI fund the act will terminate Tax Commissioner NJ. p. Mullaney was figuring the June quarter probably would do the trick. The gross cry enue tax, all of which goes into the veterans fund, has been al great money raiser. During 1947I it represented 31.4S per cent Of all the taxes.

 Incidentally, Mullaney in his ana nual report reveals that total tax collections during l947 was S5.- 788. 8.459.S5, almost half of which was in ear-marked funds such as sales tax, motor fuel tax. Despite this apparent affluence, the Terri tory's general fund was badly dent ed. It probably would get worse be- fore it got better.

Grim, Shabby Vienna
BIames Occupation
For Loss Of Gaiety
By Helene HUNTINGTON Smith

VIENNA (By Airmail.) - The
hardest thing to find in this grim
and shabby city is the gaiety that
made Vienna famous.
Ask any postwar citizen where to
see some of typically Viennese cafe
life you haye read about. He will
tell you that. a bottle of wine costs
As schillingS or almost half the
average mans weekly wage, while
even a moderately well-off couple
can't spend an evening at a cafe
without feeling pinched for week
afterward.
OF course, there are the First
District night clubs, but they are
just night clubs-the same from
Broadway to Bizerte-and are for
Americans and black marketers
only. The gaiety of Vienna is a
memory.
But the memory lives on in the
old songs that are as much a part
of the Viennese soul as the tower
of st. Stefan's Church. In the
famous Wienerlieder that were
written so and rs years ago and still
are sung, this still is the city of
love, music and laughter, where
sweet were the maidens, and sweet
was the wine"
Old Vienna Sought.
One evening with some friends
went looking for old Vienna. The
first place we went into was one of

one way or another.
People didn't come to zehnel
Marie's to think, but if you hac
talked with enough other Austrians
you knew that these relatively we'll
off, business-type people sitting
around the little tables thought
these were hard times. Life had at
least ben prosperous under Hitler
Even during the war it was better
than today.
Naturally it never occurred to
them that the bad war and the bad
peace were partly their fault, or
that by heiling Hitler they had
helped to bring this trouble on
themselves. They thought that if
they could only get rid of this
burden of an occupation and have
a peace treaty, perhaps good times
would come again-not as good as
under the Hapsburgs, but better
than existing conditions.
Headwaiter Joins in Song.
The headwaiter-speaking of de-
mocracy-was seated at the next
table, singing, with both arms
around the guests. My friend who
had been in a concentration camp
had his head back and was sing
ing wien, Wien, nur du allein-"
as loudly as anybody else. After
ward he confessed: "You know,
I have a terrific hate-love for this
city"
Afterwards everybody went home

| the Gasthauses, which correspond
roughly to an English workingmans S
pub. In o bare, cherries room,
men and a few women were sitting
around drinking sour, unfermented
most Gan Austrian drink for a
schilling and half glass, or wine
for seven schillings-a terrible price.
You could cut the smell with knife.
The people were drab and thread
bare.
My companion was a man who
had spent seven years in concen-
tration camp for writing newspaper
articles displeasing to Hitler. Ausch-
witz had darkened his point of view.
He said: Il can't feel at home in
Vienna any more. Every time start
to feel sorry for the hardships suf-
fered by these people, I look at one
of them and think: What did you
do when you saw them loading Jews
into trucks and taking them away?
You probably shrugged your shoul-
ders and said, ooh, we'll! Thank
God I'm not a Jew"
No, this wasn't old Vienna.
Cafe Visit Described.
We found it, however, at the next
place, one of the few remaining
heurigers or new-wine cafes, that
were once a Vienna institution.
Some of the heurigers still open
their gardens in the summer time.
In winter they are mostly closed for
lack of coal and customers.
But Zehner Marie;s was open.

D. {. Office Proposed
To Study, Interpret
States Rights Threats
Nv the A.,eefoted Press

HOUSTON, Tex, Nov. 29.-The
president of the National Association
of Attorneys General today proposed
establishment of a Washington
Office to study and interpret threats
to States Rights.
ATTORNEY General J. Tom Watson
of Florida said too much Govern
ment, regardless Of the theory on
whici, it is based, Is mankind's
worst foe"
He spoke before the opening busi-
ness session of the associations 42d
annual conference, attended by AZ
Attorneys General.
In an interview yesterday, the
Florida official told reporters pend
ing Federal proposals on medicine,
schools, taxation and social benefits
are sufficient to justify unified State
action against Federal encroach-
rnent.
Warns Of Two Trends.
In today's talk he said two pre-
vailing trends are: l. A National
Government tendency to grasp for
more power. 2. Reluctance by Con-
sress to relinquish exercise of power
over State Governments once 1t has
been allowed to use such power.
The proposed Washington legal
bureau of the association. Mr.. Wat
son said, would transmit to State
officials legal advice concerning "the
contents and possible effect of Fed
sral laws and court litigation that
challenge States Rights
1t would collect, assemble and
compile information on all Federal
Government proposed, pending and
newly enacted or released legisla-
ton, rules, regulations, executive
orders and court decisions relating
to States Rights and State Govern
ment Administration.
Reports Would Be Made.
Reports would be made available
10 each Attorney General and Gov
srnor and possibly to Congressman
With each State returning to the
bureau q memorandum on opera
ton and effect of the legislation in
80 far as it may appear to encroach
upon States Rights.
The bureau then would make q
summarized analysis OF the State
reports.
There should not be any effort
on the part of the bureau to influ-
ence legislation" he said. 1T should
confine its functions and activities
to furnishing information on legis-
lation and expert legal interpreta.

which would strengthen the ties of
women throughout the world.
"The All clubs of all states are
living examples of WISDOM" Mr.
Bowman points out, "and what bet
ter proof does one need? The chill
drens' widespread participation in
every phase of family and commu-
nifty life, with the guidance of the
parents, is testimony to the historians
that interest and cooperation in pro-
noting the interests of youth will
make for sound government.
"Anna Louise Hansen, an active
All club member for many years,
and nov a student at the University
of Wyoming from Lusk, is a men,
Der of the 1913 International Youth
Exchange which has been in Europe
since June. Through her All club
work, she brought to actuality the
potentially fine traits embedded in
all our young people," Bowman said.
Here rural people score again.
They prove that. confidence and in
telligent guidance will reap profits
immeasurable by dollars and cents.
Anna will transfer her knowledge
gained in Norway, Denmark, France,
Holland and Belgium to the All
youth in Wyoming as well as to all
students of the state.
Tolerance
SAs for tolerance" Mr.. Bowman
continues, 1--WE are most proud of
the fair treatment that rural people
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-12-15

is that we have to help each other
no matter what our social differ
ences - and by helping each other
we gain that hard-to-find happiness.
"All of these basic characteristics
tie in with patience, however, Mr.
Bowman says. Farm people show
patience especially in the hard -
and too often exaggerated = form
of financial dealings. They must
wait for a great many things before
being paid for their work and
then the chances they take have
been the downfall of many men.
''They show patience in family
problems and seek the advice of
each other and the counsel of the
educators in solving them.
THEY take things calmly and
don't lose their head when con-
fronted by something that seems
hard to tackle.
Like all states, Wyoming has
shown wonderful progress in organ
izing its rural people so that they
share their problems, victories, de-
feats and all forms of human rela-
tons SO often neglected in the busy
hum of the metropolitan areas" Mr..
Bowman said.
Part of this organization has been
shown by the 16 Wyoming home

mated the "letterwriting contest"
during national home demonstration
week. The rural women of Wyoming
decided they should know more
about farm people IN England,
France, Holland and other European
countries. They did a very simple
thing. By writing a letter of their
homes, families, and culture and
sending it into the contest they re-
vealed another form NJ friendship
in which they joined hands across
the ocean
The idea of the contest was to en-

There are approximately 5000

tolerance and patience" are all
a necessary part of everyday
farm living :. . therefore. it is
no coincidence that we present
at this Christmas season the
thoughts of A. E. Bowman. di-
rector of the Wyoming Agricu1-
tural extension service on these
basic qualities of our rural
people.
Friendship
INTAKE friendship, for example,"
says Mr.. Bowman. Farm peo-
pie don't just talk about it-they
show it by helping their neighbors
during harvest and canning season.
Maybe they don't get anything in the
form of payment as a return, but
they know they have a bankful of
help if they should need it when in
a tight spot"
Then he cited the example of
hognemakers last year who origi-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-12-15

practice with all members of the
community. Racial and religious
discrimination are unknown and any
state fair is proof of that Here we
find a mass of people displaying the
fruits of their efforts, talking over
their mistakes and achievements,
and comparing and trading
methods"
If only all people would realize
what farm people have discovered
centuries ago., he explains, and that
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-12-15

that rural people have learned a
way to play together as well as work
together. Sharing this experience
has made family ties stronger and
has broken the dull everyday life
events that appear as drudgery.
Furthermore, they have sought
and found changes, new experiences,
and adventure, those essential char
acteristics of rural living that are
listed at the top of human needs"
Mr.. Bowman concludes.
