Candidates campaigning for
township trustee spent almost

Leasure, Jr., of Stock township.
Mr.. Leasure spent $3.50 in his
successful bid for the office.

Industry Needs
Storage Space
For Fertilizer

Farmers are not the only peo-
pie with storage problems this
winter, says Earl Jones, exten-
sion agronomist at Ohio State
University.
Stepping up production to
meet the increased demand for
commercial fertilizers, the in
dustry is running out of storage
space.
He urges farmers to "get their
fertilizers in now, and to accept
deliveries throughout the win
ter" as the only way to be sure
of having the fertilizer needed
by planting time next spring.
With orderly movement of
fertilizer from plant storage to
farms throughout the year, sup
plies can come nearer meeting
the demand this year than any
time during the past several
years, Jones points out.
Another advantage of getting
fertilizer now is that fertilizers
received in the fall and early
winter usually have cured long
er and are in better physical
condition than those rushed
from the factory close to plant
ing time.
Jones says the first consider
alton should be given for fertil-
izer needed for oats and legume
seedlings, although it is not too
early to be thinking about or
dering fertilizer for corn.
Good quality fertilizer can be
stored on farms satisfactorily if
dry storage space is available.
He suggests stacking the bags
close together to reduce circula-
ton of air. Caking can be pre-
vented by stacking no more than
six or eight bags high.

Friends Reap
Corn Harvest

Ailing Clinton Smith, of Her
man, Nebraska, a nephew of Mr.,
and Mrs. John Blackburn, OF
Walnut street, Caldwell, who
only recently discovered he has
been suffering from a form of
polio, got boost Monday when
friends came to his aid and har-
vested his corn crop.
Fifty-five friends and neigh
bors descended on the Smith
farm and within a few hours,
they had picked 5000 bushels of
corn from the IS acre farm.
The work crew brought IL
two-row pickers, five single-row
pickers, 80 tractors and three
elevators to make short work of
the Smith corn.
Since contracting polio, Mr..
Smith has been unable to use
his arms effectively, although he
hopes to recover their use even
tually.

JOHN w. CLARK, S.,
dies after ILLNESS
OF TWO YEARS
Bozeman Man Was Well
Known To Farmer Unionists

Bozeman-March 12-Rosary was
said at T 80 last night for John Wal
ter Clark, 55, who died at A o'clock
Friday morning in his home in Boze-
man after a two-year illness.
Clark, a Farm Home Administra-
ton employee, was born on January
%, 1894 in Litchfield, Mimi, where
he lived until he moved in 1900 with
his parents to Donnybrook, ND. At
ter graduation from college in 1914,
he was employed with the Gagen,
Wisconsin Lumber company as head
bookkeeper and stenographer.
In 1917 Clark began farming at
Donnybrook, and in 1919 his mar
riage to Elizabeth Jane Suydam was
solemnized in Berthold, ND. He
served during four sessions of the
North Dakota legislature as clerk of
the judicial committee. They moved
in 1929 to. Windham, Mont, and in
1886 he was employed by the FILA
and resided in Havre until 1889 when
he was transferred to Bozeman.
Clark is survived by his widow,
Elizabeth j. Clark; three daughters,
Margaret E. Williams, Eleanor G.
Castle, and Marcella Ann; three sons,
Eugene W., Clair 0. and Padaric j.,

Big Business is to claim that wage in
creases lead to depression.
What Are The Facts?
Depressions are caused by the lack
of workers. purchasing power to buy
the products they produce.
During the period 1928 to 1929
when industry had it's own way,
wages were increased only per cent
despite the fact that productivity in
creased 33 per cent and profits lin
creased 60 per cent. The result was
the greatest economic bust in worlds
history
| But during the depression in 1887
organized labor for the first time
during a depression was able to
avoid wage cuts and in some indus
tries win wage increases. This help
ed the country out Of the depression.
Similarly, following the end of the
war in 1916, three increases won by
unions were an important factor in
maintaining purchasing power and
warding off depression.
AS result of it's excessive prof.
teering during and following the war,
industry has been worsening the peo-
pies living conditions and reducing
power AS the Presi-
dents Council of Economic Advisors
put it in testimony before congress
on February 8, 1919:
Compensation of employees,
which was $3.50 (of the national
income) in 1929 and rose to $50
percent in 1889 declined to
61.5 percent in 1913. 1t is thus
approaching the 58.1 percent level
of 1929 which most students of
our economy now regard as too
low and contributory to the de-
preston which followed"
Lack of buying power is behind
the unemployment that is developing
in electric appliances, office ma
chimes, radios, textiles, shoes and a
host of other industries and wage
increases are the solution

USE TAX APPROVED WITH
RELUCTANCE BY BONNER
Honorable Sam w. Mitchell
Secretary of State, Helena

Honorable Dam w. mitchell
Secretary of State, Helena
I approve this bill (HB284) with
reluctance for the reason that it
places a use tax upon automobiles
which l do not like.
A good financial program for
highways, minus a use tax on auto
mobiles and in accordance with my
message, passed the House of Repre-
sentatives. However the Senate
committee on highways determined
to kill House Bill 220 which placed
a tax on new automobiles which
were escaping taxation and tore to
pieces HB 284 by reducing taxes on
commercial vehicles such as trucks
which really damage our highways.
AS a substitute for these benefits
to the truckers and the car dealers
this committee recommended a $500
use tax on every automobile. Only
a threat of special session brought
forth the present bill increasing
taxes on commercial vehicles, taxing
new automobiles and decreasing the
use tax from $500 to $500 on auto
mobiles during the dying days of the
legislature.
We direly need the revenue pro-
vided for in this bill if we are to-
maintain our highways, construct
new ones and not lose federal aid.
The use tax of $500 does not be-
come effective until next year and
is only effective for one year. A
special session of the legislature
would be exceedingly costly to the
people of this state and the grave
question remains whether if it was
called it would do anything to i'm
prove the present bill. | doubt that
an ordinary prophet could judge
what the senate highway committee
would do. 1t is entirely possible
that we would receive a more in
equitable bill than we have here.
Taking all of these facts into con-
sideration | feel it to be in the best
interests of the people of this state
that | sign the bill with the fervent
nope that the next legislature will
pass a bill which will be more salts
factory to everyone and yet provide
sufficient revenue for a real high
way program. GOVERNOR.

DON'T BLAME THE FARMERS FOR High PRICES

prices to farm costs. It means
equality with other groups. Under
1000 parity the government sup
ports farm prices at minimum price
equal to the price farmers pay for
what they buy. It's sort of farm
ers' minimum wage law with enough
flexibility to match rising prices for
tractor fuel, spare parts, lubricating
grease-the things a farmer uses to
run his farm.
Key to Equality
Parity is the key to the farmers
equality. Unless it's 1907 parity
the farmer gets only partial security.
500 security or 70% security, chat
amt good"
AS Fred Slower, president of the
Iowa Farmers Union said:
Unless we have clarity on par
ity it will be rarity regarded as
charity"
Labor's current fight against the
40c minimum wage might
be viewed as our fight against 500
parity. The farmer is fighting
against 500 parity in much the same
way.
It's no wonder our fight is similar.
We have the same enemies-the lob
bies of the big boys, the big cor
porations and the big corporate
farmer and Wall Street. We ought
to join forces more and more.

Consider this: Wheat prices down
300; flour prices down 20@o; bread
up in price $50.
That's what happened from Jan
uary to October 1948. Behind this
is a real story Of trouble for farm
ers. Monopoly profiteering middle
men have sustained sky-high living
costs for workers.
These figures show it is not the
farmer who is to blame for high
prices. If the farmers actually gave
their wheat away free to the millers,
the present 18c loaf of bread would
still cost 16c It's facts such as this
one that keeps food costs up-the
after-tax profits of the three largest
chain bakers were II million dollars
last year, double 1916, when price
controls remained.
Newspaper headlines feature 800
wheat price drop and argue "No
More Wage Rises" mo More Taxes
on Profits" The fact that bread
prices rise instead of fall never gets
in the papers at all.
The falling farm prices means that
working farmers are in trouble
Their operating costs are up 1870
since January, 1948, even while
prices drop. The main demand of
farmers from Congress now is for
1907 parity.
Parity merely means tying farm

avoid All Entangling Alliances"
We should not, as free men, wor-
ship such phrases of former states
men, unless they appeal to our rea-
son, based on sequent facts and pres
ent experience; but they are food for
thought This one may be a good
guide yet, through the present be-
wilderment over world WEAKNESS.
The proposed Atlantic Pact seems,
if it ripens, is to become an armed
alliance between the United States,
Great Britain, France, Italy, and five
or six little Benelux nations of Eur
ope, to oppose Communism, and its
largest and chief exponent, the So
Wet Union. This opposition is TO be
on two phases: (a) For world mar
kets; (b) Military power, by which
to maintain the present trade areas,
and to secure new ones.
Wall Street wishes this to be the
elimination of our fatuous foreign
policy, going on since VI Day. So
far, the Marshall Plan has wasted
above 80 billion dollars to gain us
nothing but anger and distrust from
the rest of the world.
In pursuit of Oriental trade, we
made an "entangling alliance" with
the corrupt Nationalist Party of
Grafters in China, headed by Chang
Kai Shek, and others of the Soong
family. This gang sold some of our
munitions to the Communists, per-
mitted capture of the residue. The
Communists have already half of |

pealing all acts in conflict"
without my approval and with OBJ
iections thereto.
While this bill attempted to settle
q local dispute it must be considered
as it relates to entire rural electri-
fication program in Montana.
This bill may tend to break the
basic laws of our program of rural
identification. Thus far, the pres
ent laws have allowed a real program
of rural identification to prosper
and | do not believe such highly
controversial bill, such as this, should
now become law, especially, when as
here, it may we'll be detrimental to
rural identification in this state.
Furthermore it might we'll cause rur-
al identification co-operatives of
other states from serving some of our

tives may fear that in order to serve
