League Lead
Still Held BY
Red SOx Team

The Rockville Red Sox main
tained their lead in. the Upper
M on tg emery County Baseball
League last Sunday by barely
squeezing by the Upper Montgom-
cry County Fire Department by a
score of to 8.
Poole started on the mound for
the firemen and seemed to be in
complete control of the situation.
He had lot of stuff on the ball
and apparently had the Red Sox
handcuffed but in the sixth inning
they pounced on him for five hits
and as many runs, making the
score 8 to in favor of the firemen.
The Red Sox took the lead in the
9th on a two-bagger by Bill Terrell
who scored on Monty Bradshaw's
third hit of the day. Bradshaw
then came home on a passed ball
and the game was in the bag. The
firemen made a desperate attempt
to tie it up in the 9th when Day
hoff got on with hit and P. Ro-
berson lined one to deep right that
Francis Hutchinson finally. hauled
down. Poole then lofted a high fly
to center and the game was over.
The Red Sox started their ace
pitcher, Don Benson, but he was
forced to retire after the second
inning because OF sore elbow.
Francis Hutchinson then took over
the pitching duties and lasted one
inning, He gave way to Gene
Thompson who was plenty wild
but he came through in the pinches
to chalk up his first win of the
year against no defeats.
The Red Sox will play Burtons-
vile, in. Rockville next Sunday.
Other league games will see Po-
tomac VS.. Upper Montgomery Fire
Department and Gaithersburg ORR
oles VS.. Gaithersburg Cardinals.

THE BASIC DANGER IN iva

A defender of IVA, writing to a
newspaper which had been edi-
torially critical of the Authority, re-
Gently said: Satisfaction of wants
will always be the economic pay
off. Never mind social progress or
starry-eyed idealism including in
dividual freedom and what made
this country great Acting starry
eyed about Americas Individuals
tic traditions is just as impractical
as acting starry about abstract
humanitarian ideals"
That is the kind of doctrine
which, if followed, could destroy
this country. The basic danger in
IVA is not that it has taken over
the private electric companies in its
region, or that it pursues extremely
dubious accounting practices, or
that it is steady drain on the pub
nc treasury, or that it charges all
the people to give benefits to a few.
These are all important matters,
but they are dwarfed by the fact
that IVA is Intrinsically the enemy
of government. 1t is the perfect
example of the super state. The
people of its region have nothing
whatsoever to say about its policies
any more than the subject of a
monarchy could dispute the decis-
ions of king. They have no voice
in the choice of TWAS administra-
tors. 1t is all done from above, and
there is no effective means of
appeal.
Local government in the IVA
empire is equally powerless. The
Authority, far from being engaged
only in electric power and flood
control activities, has its fingers in
every enterprise. It's powers are
virtually without limit. And its de-
cisions are final How far do we
wish such a system extended?
IVA is a modified modern appli-
cation of the old feudal system
which was the monarchial progeni-
tor of the communistic idea applied
to social and economic life. Its roots
lie in European totalitarianism-
not in the American tradition of
local independence and individual
freedom.

Father Keller, Director of the
Bureau of Economic Research of the
University of Notre Dame, in an
article published in the March Is,
1913 issue of Look, states that the
rich" Americans in 1917 were get
ting TO of the nations entire in
come. BY rich Americans, the writer
refers to those with an annual in
come of SIS, 600 or more. By 1928
their share had risen to 11So; but
by 1914, it had dropped to 10. The
11% held by the rich in 1928
amounted to billion dollars. Their
Ia in 1914 was less than 2 billion.
"On the other hand" he adds,
Americans making under $4,000 a
year have been Enthusiastically in
creasing their share of the. nations
income. In 1917 this group Ito which
most of us belong), was getting 87Po
of the total U. S. income. By the
year 1929 this had dropped to 7796.
But in 1914 it reached the peak
figure of 909o This increase of 80
in q years doesn't tell the whole
story. Look at the volume: in 1917,
Al billion dollars; in 1914, 140 bill
lion dollars a gain in one genera
ton of almost another hundred
billion dollars for the poor"
Father Keller also mentions that
during this same period, people
whose annual income is over $4,000
but less than $25, 900 have increased
from a low of go of the nations
1917 income to high of 1870 just
before the depression set in, and
stood at go in 1914. Their volume
is up from billion dollars in 1917
to Is billion in 1914.
In commenting on the spread of
purchasing power in the United
States, this writer says:
But if, as stated before, the
spendable income of the wealthy
class in 1914 was 2 billion dollars,
and consumer expenditures in that
year amounted to 80 billion dollars,
it is obvious that the two billions
of the well-heeled could hardly ac-
count for the purchase of 90 bill
lions of goods and services"
In discussing profits of capital FIR.
Keller says:
Actually, during the past 20
years, corporate profits paid out to
individuals have averaged a little
more than cents out of every sales
dollar Even in 1916, the year of the
highest corporate profits on record,
profits of all manufacturing cor
porations averaged five cents out of
the sales dollar which was less than
1940-4l; trade corporations averag-
ed less than 3.3 cents which was less
than some years of the depression.
The average for all corporations
was At cents"
The writer gives the reason for
American workers having the high
est standards of living ever enjoyed
by workers anywhere, as due to the
fact that the American workman
uses labor saving tools. Most of
these tools are bought from the
savings of those in the $4,000 and

deal for this state. We would be
sh0rtchanged to the extent of
S605 900 annually"
Pointing out that the teachers of
Montana are also Disseminated
against by the Federal aid proposal.
the Association estimated that
salary increases averaging only
$1,000 per year would result in this
state In contrast, teachers in some
states would receive increases of
more than $4,000 annually. It was
shown that even New York teach
ers. now the highest paid in the ma
ton. would get increases of $1l2.OO.
In New Mexico, where teachers
salaries are higher than in Mon
tana. the average increase would be
$4,000 The Association based its
estimate of per year salary increas-
es upon the fact that salaries com
prise IS per cent of current school
expenditures in the nation as a
whole.
Montana teachers would receive
smaller salary increases than would
the teachers of any other state
except South Dakota. This Federal
subsidy program is thus no more of
a bargain for Montana teachers
than it is for Montana taxpayers"

POLITICAL COLUMN

Pledging his administration to
continue the vigorous program OF
efficient State government which
has produced the largest surplus in
the states history" Gov. Sam c.
Ford May 10 filed his nominating
petition for reelection. To-day, our
state is in the best financial cOndi-
ton ever. BY the time the next Leg
stature meets, we will have a gen
eral fund surplus of seven million
dollars, an all-time record for the
State of Montana This has
come about through careful admin
istration of state affairs, by working
out plans and procedures for the
better functioning of our states ad-
ministration. Despite increased costs
for everything the state has this
great surplus to its credit accom-
plished without tax levy for the
general fund.
Tom Burke of Billings, senator
from Yellowstone county for the
last 10 years, filed last week as
candidate for the Republican nom
nation as lieutenant governor.
Burke, an attorney and veteran
legislator, said, upon filing his nom
mating petition with the secretary
of state. that there is an immediate
need for stepping up the develop
ment of Montana's resources, in
creasing state aid for schools, and
meeting the threat of communism
facing this country today. The solu-
ton of these problems cannot be
passed on to future generations, we
must meet them now"
A veteran of the First World war,
Sen Burke has served as president

REGARDING FEDERAL AID

Characterizing Federal aid for
education as fraud upon the
schools and people of this state, the
Montana Taxpayers Association to-
day voiced strong opposition to the
Taft bill now pending in Congress.
This latest Federal aid bill pro-
poses a huge Federal subsidy pro-
gram at an initial cost of
$500, 100000 annually. Montana's al
lotment would be $565,000, but
Montana's increased tax burden to
finance the scheme would be ST.
10000. Montana taxpayers would
thus be compelled to pay $500 in
taxes in order to get back $1O0 in
so-called aid. That is a bad business

over income class. The period of
greatest expansion in new and bet
ter tools was l920-l930 In 1888 a
new tax policy went into effect
whereby the funds from which new
labor-saving equipment had previ-
ously been purchased, were now
taken over by the government in
the form of taxes. FIR. Keller says:
Funds therefore, were simply
siphoned from the private capital
market to the government Private
investment practically ceased. From
1888 to 1945, new capital issues
averaged less than half a billion
dollars a year.
For the first time in our history
during the period of 1930-l940-
our economy went backward in
stead of forward"
He then shows how the modern
economic trend is headed toward
socialism, and in conclusion, says:
"One need look no farther than
Great Britain and France to see
what that kind of socialism has
done for the working people"
An election year should be a good
time to get some of our much need
ed road work done. A good highway
between Libby and Eureka would
be a wonderful asset to the north
end of the county and fully as much |
