Small Grains Seed
Production Enough
For 100000 Acres

Bozeman.-Growers of registered
small grains produced enough seed
this year under the Montana crop
standardization program to seed
some 100000 acres of production of
registered and approved seed next
year, Ralph d. Mercer, extension
agronomist at Montana State Col
lege, said recently.
Total production of registered
small grains in Montana this year
amounted to nearly $4,000 bushels,
Mercer said, or enough to meet all
anticipated demands for this class of
seed. Spring wheat was grown on
889 acres, winter wheat on 24O acres,
barley on 438 acres, oats on 1913
acres, flax on 204 acres, corn on So
acres and beans on 72 acres.
The agronomist urged producers
of registered grain to get their sam
pies cleaned early for establishment
of grade and he also suggested that
farmers who want registered seed of
the varieties recommended for Mon
tana should locate their seed supplies
well ahead of planting time.

Why BIG BUSINESS LIKES SPENDING
FOR WAR MACHINE

vestigating committee, the TNEC
The study points out that Big Bust
ness Hobbies are most concerned
with getting control of the nations
pocketbook - the taxpayers money
collected by the treasury. Big Bust
ness has been pretty successful: look
at the tariff laws and the tax laws
which favor the wealth few at the
expense of the less wealthy many
But during the New Deal, Big Bust
ness lost its grip a little. Instead of
following the Hoover theory-pour-
ing money in at the top through loans
to banks and corporations, and let
ting it "trickle down" to the people
the New Deal made relief payments,
soil conservation payments, etc., di-
rect to the people. The study says:
Pick Our Pockets
"The New Deal expenditures, while
they poured billions of dollars into
the business channels of the country,
were not directed from the treasury
Immediately into the hands of bust
ness. Defense expenditures Con the
other hand) are paid to business and
are distributed according to the will
of business"
Today, Big Business gets us COM
ing and going. They pick our pockets
first through high prices and made
quate wages. What's left in our
pockets, the government takes from
US in taxes. Then the government
turns our tax money to Big Business
in defense orders. 1t all adds up to
the biggest profits in history.

Reader Gives "Why" OF What
Happened Election Day

Editor, Peoples Voice:
The big shots are all wondering
what happened on election day. Any
dumb bunny should be able to figure
that out
The money we are pouring in to
the foreign rat hole would take care
of housing, medicine, and the old
people, and lots of other things and
there would still be plenty left over

By BRUCE WAYBUR, UE-CIO

When the New Deal spent three
billion dollars a year for unemploy-
ment relief and agricultural recov-
cry, Big Business howled that it was
running the country. 1t pointed with
horror when the national debt rose
from $40 billion in 1888 to $50 bill
lion in 1910.
Today the debt is over $3.50 bill
lion, as a result of World War II.
Instead of spending three billion dol
lars year to prevent a depression,
the federal government now spends
twenty-one billion dollars year to
prepare for another war. But you
don't hear any howl from Big Bust
ness. The investment bankers sit
in key government posts and invest
the taxpayers billions in planes,
tanks, warships and atom bombs.
There is confidence" in Wall Street
over the way affairs are managed in
Washington.
Look at the Record
Why did Big Business fight Roose-
velt's spending program for peace
time recovery, while it goes about
for the Truman-Vandenberg-F Forces
tai program to spend seven times as
much on war preparations.
For an answer, picked up a study

Why Housing Prices
Are High

The average house In the United
States costs 81, 094 today as COM
pared with $9,749 last year and $4,-
500 in 1889. In New York, Boston
and Chicago the price was over $751;
900.
Prices are high because of monop-
oily control of the industries which
produce housing materials.
The Federal Trade Commission
found that brick and tile and wall
board manufacturers got together to
fix prices.
The Douglas Fir Plywood Associa-
ton is charged with cutting down on
production. Window glass makers
are charged with purchasing and dis
mantling competing plants. Low
production, of course, means high
prices.
The plumbing manufacturers, job
bers and installers conspired to pre-
vent plumbing supplies from being
sold directly to the consumer and in
sisted that equipment had to pass
through the hands of the ijobber and
plumber with MAKEUP and profit
to each.
Electrical contractors are alleged
to have conspired to fix prices and
to discourage the development of
pre-fabricated housing.
Others keeping housing, prices
high are the banks, insurance COM
panies, mortgage companies, real
estate brokers, paint and electric
wire and cable companies.

United Industrial Associates; mon

The patient may be referred through
the family physician who desires the
patient to be examined by an ortho-
paedic surgeon, or who wishes to re-
fer the patient for care by the Di-
vision of Services for Crippled Chill
dren if assistance is needed in order
for the patient to receive care. If
the patient has not been examined
by a physician, he may be referred
through public health nurse or the
Department of Public Welfare.
Diagnostic services are made avail
able for any patient, but only those
needing financial assistance are ac-
cepted for care by the Division of
Services for Crippled Children. APP
pointment for examination should be
requested Immediately through the
local public health nurse or the De-
partment of Public Welfare.
There will be a representative of
the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilita-
ton present at each clinic for inter-
views regarding vocational training
and other services of the bureau for
those over sixteen years of age.

For Democracy.
Small Districts
Must Be Continued

Dear Bill: The human mind being
what it is, pitifully imperfect, it is
prone to error. Misconceptions,
half-truths, confusion of cause and
effect, are but few of the "bugs"
born of our human brains-even the
most highly trained. This business
of the experts trying to improve the
school set-up shows many such weak
nesses
The local district is an inefficient
and uneconomic unit" they conclude.
Then they deduct that the same ter
ritory if added to larger area would
become efficient. Of course any
business cannot be run efficiently
without enough money. But suffi-
cient funds supplied to that same dis
trict would cure that. Making the
county the tax base and leaving the
local district to manage the local
problems would appear to be the
American way. The local district
system originated in America. In
stead of that what is staring us in
the face?
Insistence by pressure groups to
destroy all small districts before the
school is eligible for foundation
money from the state.
1t seems a wise idea to coordinate
education within in the county and
the state Is it not now co-ordi-
mated? 1t could be more co-ordi-
mated to good advantage. But why
destroy the peoples rights? Cannot
these ends be attained without rip
ping out all the democracy and prac-
tically developed over all these
years?
Are we to be just another totali-
tartan country where the individual
is not even small cog in the big
wheel? 1t is conceivable that some
of these big administrators recon-
reorganization have pure,
sincere aims. But take them out in
the country and let them learn the
peoples problems before they are
considered experts on them.
A few years back the experts de-
cided the rural teachers had too
many grades to teach. And they
did so what did they do about it?
Fixed it right up they did.
"We'll teach the even grades on
even years and the odd numbers on
the odd years" They sold the idea
1t was actually put into practice in
Montana. 1t worked out OK for the i
half of the school children who
started grade one in uneven years.
But how it messed up the education
If the other half
