SSetterstrom spoke on industrial
Development in Montana" which he
defined as meaning the expansion OF
existing industries and the establish
ment of new ones. A greater diver
sity of industry in this state, he
said, would do much to prevent any
great slump in business during times
Of economical stress.
The farming industry is the chief
source of wealth in Montana, and
while there has been an increase in
the quantity of farm output and in
the acreage cultivated, there has
been a decrease in the number of
persons employed in the industry.
The reason for this is that there
has been a growth in the amount
of work done by machines, enabling
fewer people to produce more goods.
AS a result of this decrease III
opportunities for employment, many
people have been forced to leave
the state. While the total popula-
ton of the nation has increased, the
population in Montana has decreas-
ed. In order to correct the situa-
ton and to halt the depopulation of
Montana, he stated, new industries
should be established. If Montana
is to attract any new industry with

Montana can offer many ~attrac-

STUDENTS PRESENT
PROGRAM At ROTARY

Entertainment at the meeting OF
the Laurel Rotary club this week
was provided by Patricia Johnston
Shirley Wilson, Donald Graft anC
William Spear, college students who
are home for the summer vacation.
AS the first feature of the program.
Miss Wilson sang Beautiful Lady
and 81 Believe"
Following this Donald Graft gave
an address, "The Importance of
Secondary Schools in Preparation
for a Universal Education" He dis
cussed the conception of the public
school system in this country and
the means by which a high school
education can be used to provide
either a general or specialized pre-
paration for training at the u%niver-
sity level.
Patricia JOHNSON then rendered
two piano selections. She was fol-
lowed by William Speare who spoke
on the need of giving support TO
the Greater University of Montana.
At the present time the system is
operating on a levy of 81 mills, an
amount inaduaquate to maintain
the existing units increased opera
ional costs. At the present this
shortage is being met by the federal
government by paying out-of-state
tuition fees for all CT. students.
However, the number of veterans III
attendance is dropping while the total
enrolment goes up. 1t is true that
some small decrease in enrolment
is expected, but there will be no
substantial decrease. 1t is proposed
to raise the mill levy from 3A to 6
mills, for which a referendum will
be placed before the people of Mon
tana this fall to determine their will
in the matter.
AS a result of the high enroll
ments in the units of the Greater
University system, Montana State

have less than one-half the

the essential minimum by the

Yellowstone County Beats Mark
Set For 1t By 2.4%-State
Total Is S11,1S7,000

The seventh Montana district of
nine counties, including Yellowstone,
came within ID per cent of its
hoped-for total in the recently clos
ed Security loan drive, figures of
the final report by the Federal Re-
serve bank at Helena reveal. The
state as a whole attained 1875 per
cent of the total set for it. Arthur
Nelson, state director, said that cal
though the quota set for Montana
was not achieved, still the results
were most satisfactory in view of
the fact that the total sales were
over 81, 100000 more than for the
same period last year."
The Montana goal was $14,250,-
600 while sales were $11,187, 900, the
difference being $3,063,000 less than
the mark set. The ninth district
decidedly beat the state average,
and Yellowstone and Treasure coun-
ties exceeded their quotas. Per cent
ages in the district were:
Big Horn, "a; Carbon, $50; Gal
latin, 1911; Park, 96.5; Rosebud,
65.8; Saltwater, 1874; Sweet Grass,
59.5; Treasure, 149.1, and Yellow

Gains of Status Quo!

1t has been pointed out by sew
eral students of the South that
there are certain gains which &C
crue to the white Southerner from
our present system of race rela-
tionS. First, there is the economic
gain. With the working class di-
vided, unions can be kept out,
wages kept down, all to the bene-
fit Of the employing class. Then
there is cheap labor for small
merchants, contractors and bust
ness men. 1t means cheap domes-
tic labor for middle-class families.
There IS not a group in the
South that does not gain Cor
thinks it doesn't) by keeping the
Negro at the bottom of the eco
nomic ladder. Then there is the
sexual gain. The white man has
not only his women. but in many
parts of the South free access to
Negro women. Finally there is
the status gain. No matter how
low a white man may be, how
lacking in intelligence, refinement
and culture, he can always feel
that he is superior to every Negro.
For immature, uncritical people
this often acts as a balm to hurt
egos.-Horace Cayton in the Pit
tsburgh Courier.
