GTA Official Asks: Who Profits From
Low Price Supports" For Farmers

wages were cut twenty-five percent
through no fault of their own.
This drop in farm income wa:
greatest for the wheat producer
whose cash income has gone down
more than third. Producers of oil
crops, such as flaxseed and soybeans
got nearly a third less. Dairy farm
ers averaged nearly fifth less, and
in this area the drop was even great
er. Only commodities to show
some improvement were cotton and
feed grains.
Farmers are caught again in the
price scissors which nearly wrecked
the country before the war, and did
ruin hundreds of thousands of wor-
thy farm families who lost their
homes. This price squeeze comes
about because farmers are the only
large graup in America which does
practice the free enterprise we hear
so much about. Farmers do pro-
duce all they can because the farm
er can't fire or lay off his help. He
and his wife and kids are the help,
and they've got to eat, and pay taxes
and meet other fixed costs, or lose
their farm. Farmers are going right
ahead producing at record levels,
more and more.
But in our cities, things are run
just the opposite. The big corpora
tions shut down, fire their workers
or put them on short-time, whenever
they don't think they'll make all the
profits they want. They cut produc-
ion to hold up their prices and keep
heir profits. So farmers have to

Every day brings new evidence
why do we need a New Farm Pro
gram. But as we listen to the
voices of our elected representatives
and Senators down in Washington,
we don't hear them fighting for
what farmers need. No, we hear
only all kinds of alibis why a good
farm program can't be passed. This
weeks news brought out this con-
tradiction once again. The De-
partment of Agriculture announced
how badly farmers income has
dropped, while some Northwest Sen
ators sounded off on why they won't
do anything about it.
In August farmers took a cut of
nearly 20% below a year ago, while
costs of operating a farm stayed up
high. For the first nine months of
this year farmers cash income is
running an eighth behind last year.
Net income is probably more than
a fourth lower. That is where farm
ers last year had four dollars left
after paying farming expenses, they
now have only three dollars. Out

EDUCATION TO FOREIGN

An amazing proposal to cure the
nations mental unrest by teaching
the inevitability of war in its public
schools is contained in a recent re-
port to the National Education asso-
citation, signed by 20 leading educa-
tors, including Eisenhower of Co

Those drawn last September 6 and
| October 7, are for offenses allegedly
committed prior to the converting of
the grand jury last July 81. This is
further indication that the jury is
growing increasingly intent on get
ting to the bottom of capital city cor
ruption. No longer are the "wise
boys" on Main Street considering
the calling of this special investiga-
tory body as lark. Many of them
|are becoming downright worried
over the possibilities that this body
may soon be in possession of suffi-
Gent evidence to pave the way for
long sojourns at Deer Lodge for a
number of prominent Helena people,
prosperous businessmen,
and others.
In the meantime, it is to be hoped
that the grand jury will look further
into the circumstances surrounding
the death of Joe Ryan last May, that
questions in the minds of
many Helena people may be cleared
up. Likewise, the grand jury can do
a decided service by making a
thorough investigation of liquor
by various capital city
residents during and after the war.
Further, may we repeat our sugges-
ton of last week that District Judge
Padbury be called before that body
to explain why he signed an order
permitting the return of gambling
equipment to the Colonial club last
June, although the state law specif-
cally requires the destruction of such
equipment when no longer required
is evidence. The Judge might also
explain why he has permitted unl-
,ensed slot machines and roulette
hips seized at Wolf Greek in 1947,
o continue to linger in the County
rreasurer's vaults instead of being
destroyed, since convictions were
,ained on the strength of such evil
Ience.
Incidently, reports are current
round Helena that practically the
ntire police force appeared before
he jury last week AS a result it
nay be reasonable to anticipate fur
her indictments.
One final note-this grand jury,
omposed of ordinary citizens, is fac
d with resolving a difficult and dis
greeable assignment. How well they
lcceed depends in great degree on
ow much cooperation they receive
'om other law-abiding citizens of
lie community. 1t is to be hoped that
