WASHINGTON, (P)-The fed eral government spent about S1,- 400,00O,OO0 more than it took in during the first three months of the 1850 fiscal year, and no relief from red ink financing appears in sight.

 These are the official treasury figures for the first quarter of the fiscal year, through Sept. 28: the governments income: $9,Ol5,OOO,- 900. It's spending: $1O,419,OO0,O 900. The deficit: $1, ,404, 4,00O,OOO.

"Co-ops Do Pay Taxes, Chapman
Tells MFU Officers
"Co-operatives do pay taxes" d.
w. Chapman, president of the Mon
tana Farmers Union told the group.
Chapman said co-ops pay all taxes
other businesses pay except tax on
profits which the co-ops do not have,
since savings above costs are pro-
rated back to the patrons who pay
the income tax.
The speaker further pointed out
that many other businesses enjoy
the same tax status as co-operatives
and he listed in that category indi-
vidual proprietorships, partnerships,
mutual insurance companies and one
news-gathering agency.
Others who led in the coop dis
cussion were Art Hasbrouck, Butte;
T. A. Christensen, Wolf Point; Char

riculture to advocate a plan of
limiting price supports high
enough to benefit most farmers
yet not enough to encourage
industrialized farming.
The family farmer, he pointed out,
would get a break under the Secre-
tary's proposals for the recommend
ed program would exclude extremely
large farm operators from getting
price supports. The program would
be designed to give all farmers an
incentive to go on producing to meet
consumers needs.
Instead of using prices only as a
guide, the program would establish
"a minimum income standard for all
farmers as a goal, and price supports
for individual crops would be de-
termined in an effort to achieve the
income standard. The income and
price support standards would not
be less than the average purchasing
power of farmers for the first ten of
the last twelve years.
Prices Would Seek Own Levels In
Market Places
Under Brannan's plan production
payments would go directly to pro-
ducers, and farm commodities would
seek their own price levels in the
market places. For surplus crops,
Ola said, acreage allotments and
marketing quotas would apply. Stor-
able farm commodities such as wheat
would continue to qualify for COM
modify loans and purchase agree
ments.
The proposed program, it was ex-
planned, would save taxpayers enor-
nous expense of relief programs and
other methods of overcoming depres-
sions. Under the present system,
prices for perishable farm commod-
tiles are supported through govern
ment purchases which take supplies
out of the market and raise prices on
those remaining for sale. Under the
program prices would be
permitted to seek their own levels,
thus saving the consumer and the tax
payer additional consumer charges
an artificial scarcity on some
items. Under the proposed program
the producer would receive pro-
duction payment only representing
the difference, if any, between the
average market price and the sup
port price levels. Consumers would

Negroes "due consideration" in
the state public school services.
This belief was expressed to him
by the Negro member of the State
Board Of Education, the Governor
told a news conference.
The Governors comment about
the schools was in response to
questions from representative
of the Pittsburgh Courier. He
said he had called the conference
of the state boards Division of

the officials thoughtNegroes were
getting "due consideration in the

Long before the advent of Adolph Hitler and his
Men kampf, the writing of such HISTORIANS socolo-

notorious Count Gobeneau and Lothdrop Stoddard with
his Rising Tide of COLOR, racial color and religious
prejudice had already been identified by honest and
intelligent people everywhere the worst and most
debllltatng Influence in the Modern World
1t appears all but ironic that the worst practices
the result of racial and color prejudice have been di-
reced by usupers against peoples in the lands of their
nativity.
One of the worst for such practices in the
world has long been the Union Of South Africa 1t
started off with the coonizing and mperalistc designs
OF the famed Elder statesman Jan Christian SHUTS;
and there were few who thought that it could be in
tensifled beyond the SHUTS pattern.
Upon the South African political scene came one
Dr.. ID. F. Maan who defeated the famed Elder States
man by advocating even worse program of racial
ism than that already in vogue by the SHUTS Govern
ment which he put into practice being elevated to
Prime Minister.
According to press reports in election few days
ago DR.. Malans Nationlst Party suffered a serious
set back with results of the election showing definite
swing away from Malan's "strict racial segregation
regime.

nized for what it is and looking at todays troubled

grim laugh, for John Bull is not
so hot over the roll the U. S. has
assumed in the world. realizing
that the English is no longer the
power of the goth century.
The Republicans here in the
United States have reason to look
upon the Democrats with some
feeling of envy, if the off year
election last Tuesday is any indi-
cation of the political trend. And if
the New York outcome is any de-
termining factor on the national
horizon, the COP had better start
exploring some new fields to chal-
lenge the ever present New Deal"
("Fair Deal" because it is not as
vigorous and influential as it was
under the leadership of the late
FDR) The Welfare State Mr.. John
Foster Dulles accused the Truman
administration of promoting in his
attack on former Gov. Herb Leh-
man, a Truman backed candidate
for U. S. Senator from the pivoted
state of New York, backfired last
Tuesday. 1t seemed like the people
of New York are in no hurry to
throw off any of the social features
of this economy to go back to the
good old days which Mr. Dulles
advocated so vigorously.
The defeat of Ben Davis by Earl
Brown for City Council of New
York, may be the forerunner of the
BUSTING of the Communists as a
political party even in the liberal
state of New York. But it shows
further that it is hard for you to
win with odds ten to 1 against
you. Brown was backed by all the
major parties, while Ben had only
the Communists and ALP, which
made a dismal showing, and fell
below the expectations of even the
opposition experts. The ALP may
have missed the bus by abstaining
from any senatorial support.
The High Court took some very
important action involving Negro
rights. 1t ruled for the third time
that the Brotherhood is Jim crow
ing Negro members; anG it agreed
to consider two cases involving
Jim Crow in state supported
schools. The issue is whether Sc
gregation gives Negroes equal OPP
portunity with white students,
could have far-reaching effect in
the South, where Negro Students
are forbidden by law to attend
schools with whites.
