AS chairman of the German VFW
Investigating committee, | would like
to address this report to those who
have believed that the veterans in the
Calhoun Lane district have a just
cause and particularly those whose
belief has been backed financially.
When the German VFW Investigat-
ing committee first went into action
last September an attempt was made
by the committee to have the real
estate promoters, the loaning agency,
the VA and FILA to all set down with
all their cards op the table and ex-
plain why these veterans were being
given double deal. Past reports
through the Mitchell NEWS LET
TIERS and some newspapers reports,
have shown their reluctance to at
tempt an explanation. The VA of
fered a solution to the veterans home
owners by changing their contracts,
absorbing the double charge which
naturally would be nod of approval
to the real estate promoters.
The FILA did not even bother to
call on the veteran home owners but
did meet repeatedly with the loaning
agency and the real estate promoters
with their respective legal counsels.
In these meetings the FILA had no
legal advisor, apparently relying on
the legal council of the loaning agent
and the promoters, who have not yet
shown their cards to the veteran home
owners.
The German VIEW Investigating
committee on the other hand have
never ceased reminding the heads of
the two federal agencies in Washing
ton, the congressional representatives
from Montana at Washington, and the
Justice Department at Washington of
the contemplate attempt of the pro-
moters to double deal the veteran
home owners. Through the continual
efforts of this committee the Depart |
ment of Justice has ordered prompt |
and vigorous action to secure prose
cution of the offenders.

zatIon was set up, temporary officers
and a committee appointed, and a
general review was had on various
problems facing our schools.
Several points of Importance were
discussed to such an extent that a
considerable amount of agreement was
reached. OF these, most important is
financing, and how to secure suffi-
cient funds for providing adequate
basic education for all Montana chill
dren, city and rural Majority opinion
was that constitutional amendment
was needed which would place pri-
mary responsibility for providing a
financial foundation squarely upon the
state government. Such an amend
ment, would in effect implement the
state constitutional provision that it
is the states responsibility to see that
every Montana child is provided the
opportunity for an education.
SALES TAX NOT CONSIDERED s.
Although a number of sources to
provide additional revenues were dis
cussed, not once was mention made
from the floor that a retail sales tax
should be considered. Suggestions
for securing additional revenues in
cluded: higher individual and corpor-
alton income and license taxes, natur-
al resource severence taxes, increased
gift and inheritance taxes, more hon
est and uniform real property assess
ments, higher schedules of leases on
state lands held in trust for aiding in
public schools, federal aid
through congressional grants, and in
creased payments to the state and
counties in lieu of taxes on federal
lands. Also mentioned was licensed
gambling as a potentially huge, but
now untapped. source of revenue
NO FORCED CONSOLIDATION -.
If this first meeting brought out any
one thing in a definite manner, then
it was overwhelming opposition to
any forced consolidation of school dis

Dear Mr.. President:

Dear Mr.. President:
In accordance with the program OF
the Montana Division of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, we believe that universal
military training is unnecessary be-
cause:
/. 1t is outmoded by present day
military techniques and therefore
could produce nothing but an organ
lied body of strong-arm men.
2. 1t is too expensive for a nation
which cannot afford hot lunches, ade-
quate schools and medical attention
for it's children.
3. 1t puts entirely too much stress
on war and aggression.
4. 1t is direct violation of our Farm
ers Union policy of endeavoring to
build world of peace and co-opera-
ton.
5. 1t is a dangerous trend toward
the type of military government that
developed under Hitler
6. 1t weakens the UN by showing
lack of faith in it's ability to preserve
peace in the world
7. And finally, it is long step in
the wrong direction for solving inter-
national difficulties of any kind, as it
would place American people behind
the proposition that war and threats
make right"
We believe that if an amount equal
to the cost of universal military train
ing were spent in education for peace
there would be no more war, there
