Machinery Pays
Interest
By w. F. SCHAPHORST

MANY FARMERS c m mo only
underestimate the money earning
value of machinery. Thus, for ex-
ample, if you spend $500 for GER
tain farm machine, and if it earns
only SIS per month for you, that
amount probably does not look like
much. Yet, it is 20 percent interest
per year on the first cost of the ma
chine.
The accompanying chart quickly
tells you what your machinery
profits are. To use the chart, run
straight line through the Earning
per Month, column A, and the First
Cost, column B, and the intersection
with column G Immediately gives
the Interest per Year.
Thus, choosing the example cited
above, if the earning per month is
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-05-01

SIS and the first cost of the machine
is $500, the dotted line drawn
through the SIS, column A, and the
$500, column B, intersects the 20
percent mark in column c. There
fore, the annual interest earned by
the $500 machine is 20 percent.
The chart will also be found use
full for determining the amount of
returns per month that should be
expected from given machine of
known cost. For example, if you
know that the machine will cost
$500 and you want to make at least
20 percent, run a straight line
through the two known values, $500
and 20 percent, and the intersection
with column A gives the answer as
SIS per month.
Or, again, the chart can be used
for determining the limiting amount
of money you can spend for given
machine, knowing the income per
month you can get out of the ma
chine and knowing the interest rate
per year.
In other words, if you know the
values in any two columns you can
Immediately determine the third by
running a straight line through the
two known points.

|. HOUR Of PRAYER
PRESIDENT TRUMAN has asked that a special hour
be set aside on Memorial Day. This hour, between eleven and
twelve, is to be observed in the churches Of the peoples
choice, and ~deyotedly and sincerely, prapers for world peace
may be made. This, it appears to all, is serious business. With
the world struggling in what is called a cold war" and con-
ditions pointing to the probabilities of a shooting war, leaders
everywhere have become conscious that great care and pa
thence must be exercised, and but for that a shooting war
might at any moment explode.
EVER NOE close Of World War II. and shortly
after the United Nations met in its first session in San Fran
cisco, differences between the East and the West began to
sharpen, and today five years later, the world is divided into
two sharply opposing camps. Communism, one of its basic
tenets to convert the world to that way of life, has taken every
step to fulfil and accomplish its purpose. One has but to look
at the satellites to realize that this is SO.
IN THIS COLD WAR, Berlin is considered the powder
key which at any moment might decide to explode, and the
world viii again be plunged into the type Of conflict which
can only mean total destruction to mankind and civilization.
1t is for this reason that sober, sane world leaders everywhere
turn to prayer and reliance on things higher, and above man.
Man has allowed his technical skill to run much too far ahead
Of him, and the result is that the most deadly instruments of
destruction have been, and are being created, while the forces
which would teach man to live side by side take a back seat.
Man has developed, the atomic bomb. he can fly thousands
Of feet in the air at speeds that almost match that Of sound,
yet there is no known cure for the common cold.
THAT MEMORIAL DAY should have an houu, Or period
set aside for honest prayer IS not only most appropriate, but,
thank God, an admission that man lives and moves and has
his being in that Of supreme being. It is a further admission,
a. Kiping most aptly put it, that there is a supreme power
beneath whose awful hand we hold dominion over palm and
pine

of people who are not Communists
at all, but loyal citizens. IS
Thus the net result of these sec
tions of the bill would be: no SER
ious damage to the Communists, much
damage to the rest of us. Only the
Communist movement would gain
from such an outcome.
Sections IS through 21 and sec
ton % of this bill constitute in large
measure the improvements in our
internal security laws which | recon-
mended some time ago. Although
the language of these sections is in
some respects weaker than is de-
sirable, | should be glad to approve
separately, since they were improve
ments developed by the FBI and
other Government security agencies
to meet certain clear deficiencies
Of the present law. But even though
these improvements are needed, other
provisions of the bill would weaken
our security far more than these
would strengthen it. We have better
protection for our internal security
under existing law than we would
have with the amendments and adj
ditions made by H. R. 9490.
Sections % and % of this bill
would make sweeping changes in our
laws governing the admission of aliens
to the United States and their natu-
ralization as citizens.
The ostensible purpose of these
provisions is to prevent persons who
would be dangerous to our national
security from entering the country or
becoming citizens. In fact, present
law already achieves that objective.
"ONLY COMMUNIST MOVEMENT
WOULD GAIN"
What these provisions would ac-
tually do is to prevent us from admit

sabotage. But these provisions are
greatly outweighed by others which
would actually impair our security.
| repeat, the net results Of this
bill would be to help the Commu-
nists, not to hurt them.
| therefore most earnestly request
the Congress to reconsider its ac-
ton. | am confident that on more
careful analysis most Members of
Congress will recognize that this bill
is contrary to the best interests of
our country at this critical time.
H. R. 9490 is made up of number
of different parts. In summary, their
purposes and probable effects may
be described as follows:
ITO NO GOOD PURPOSE"
Sections 1 through IT are de-
signed for two purposes. FIRST, they
are intended to force Communist or
CARNATIONS to register and to di-
vulge certain information about them
selves-information on their officers,
their finances, and, in some cases,
their membership. These provisions
would in practice be ineffective, and
would result in obtaining no informa-
ton about Communists that the FBI
and our security agencies do not al
ready have. But in trying to enforce
spend a great deal of time, effort,
spend 40 great deal of time, effort,
and money-all to no good purpose.
SECOND, these provisions are in
tended to impose various penalties
on Communists and others covered
by the terms of the bill. So far as
Communists are concerned, all these
penalties which can be practically
enforced are already in effect under
existing laws and procedures. But the
language of the bill is so broad and
vague that it might well result in
penalizing the legitimate activities

/ son, espionage, sabotage and actions
looking to the overthrow TO our Gov
eminent by force and violence. Most
of the provisions of this bill have no
relation to these real dangers.
One provision alone of this bill is
enough to demonstrate how far it
misses the real target. Section 5
would require the Secretary of De-
Tense to proclaim" and shave pub
lished in the Federal Register" pub
lie catalogue of defense plants, lab
oratories and all other facilities vital
to our national defense-no matter
how secret. | cannot imagine any doc
ument hostile foreign government
would desire more. Spies and sabo-
tours would willingly spend years of
effort seeking to find out the in
formation that this bill would require
the Government to hand them on a
silver platter. There are many pro-
visions of this bill which impel me to
return it without my approval, but
this one would be enough by itself.
jority of the Congress could expect
the Commander in Chief of the Armed
Forces Of the United States to ap-
prove SUCH fragrant violation of
proper security safeguards.
This is only one example of many
provisions in the bill which would in
actual practice work to the detriment
of our national security.
[ know that the Congress had no
of achieving such results
when it passed this bill. ] know that
the vast majority of the Members
of Congress who voted for the bill
intended to strike blow
at the Communists.

of this bill would improve the laws

l947 LEGISLATIVE VOTE
ON ANTI-REA Bill SHOULD
BIZ BORNE I'm MIND

In 1947 the legislature passed
bill which, had it not been vetoed by
Gov Sam Ford, would have serious.
ly threatened the right of eminent
domain. The intent of this bill (SB
| 90, by Wallace of Lake, since retired
by the voters of his county)-was to
slow the growth of REA ,coo-ps in the
state by placing legal barriers in their
way in crossing other utility right of
ways, such as rail lines, etc. Though
it would probably never have stood
the test of constitutionality, it could
have hamstrung REA expansion for
a very considerable time while it's
provisions were tested in the courts.
That rural Montana people may
know how their legislators voted on
this purely power trust proposal, we
reprint herewith the senate and house
votes of those members of the 1947
legislature who served in the 1949
legislature, or are to the best of our
knowledge, again seeking election,

! 1t would help the communist pro-
pagandists throughout the world who
are trying to undermine freedom by
discrediting as hypocrisy the efforts
of the United States on behalf of
| freedom.
Specifically, some of the principal
objections to the bill are as follows
"WOULD AID POTENTIAL
ENEMIES.
1. 1t would aid potential enemies
by requiring the publication of COM
plete list of vital defense plants, lab
oratories, and other installations.
2. 1t would require the Department
of Justice and its Federal Bureau of
Investigation to waste immense
amounts of time and energy attempt
ing to carry out it's unavoidable regis
tration provisions.
8. 1t would deprive us of the great
assistance of many aliens in intelli-
gence matters.
4. 1t would antagonize friendly gov
ernments.
5. 1t would put the Government of
the United States in the thought-con-
troll business.
6. 1t would make it easier for sub
versive aliens to become naturalized
as United States citizens.
z. 1t would give Government Of
ficials vast powers to harass all of
our citizens in the exercise of their
right of free speech.
Legislation with these consequences
is not necessary to meet the real dan
gers which communism presents to
our free society. Those dangers are
serious and must be met. But this
bill would hinder us not help US in
them. Fortunately, we al

PRESIDENTIAL VETO MESSAGE:
INTERNAL SECURITY ACT
OF 1850
To the House of Representatives

o the House OF Representatives.:
| return herewith, without my APP
prevail, HR 9490, the proposed SIN
ternal Security Act of 1850"
| am taking this action only after
the most serious study and reflection
and after consultation with the secur-
ity and intelligence agencies of the
Government. The Dept. of Justice,
the Dept of Defense, the Central In
telligence Agency, and the Dept. of
State have all advised me that the
bill would seriously damage the secur-
ity and intelligence operations for
which they are responsible. They
have strongly expressed the hope that
the bill would not become law.
This is an omnibus bill containing
many different proposals with only
one thing in common: they are all
represented to be "anti-communist'
But when the many complicated piec-
es of the bill are analysed in detail,
startling result appears.
HR 9490 would not hurt the com
munists. Instead, it would help
them
1t has been claimed over and over
again that this is an "anti-communist"
bill-a Communist control bill'' But
in actual operation the bill would have
results exactly opposite of those in
tended.
1t would actually weaken our ex-
listing internal security measures and
would seriously hamper the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and our 9TH
er security agencies.
1t would help the communists in
their efforts to create diSSenSion and
confusion within our borders.

tated workers are making good in all
kinds of jobs because they have been

Last year the Bureau gave practi-
cal training to several hundred handi-
capped men and women. Many more
had their earning power restored
through physical restoration services
provided by the department. Train
ing for more than rs different trades
and professions was provided, and the
Bureau is able to supply skilled and

short notice.
Fredericks made his statement in
connection with National Employ the
Physically Handicapped Week." which
is being observed in Montana and
locally in Helena starting Sunday by
proclamation of the President, Cover
nor Bonner and Mayor Fisherman.
"All that the handicapped ask is
the opportunity to compete for vac
ancies in Montana offices, stores,
shops, service establishments, nd
factories on equal terms with the
able-bodied," Fredericks said. "They
do not ask for special privileges, con-
cessions or sympathy-only that en-
ployers consider their abilities and
not brush them aside because of
physical disability.
''In the entire field of work there
is scarcely job that some man or
woman with a physical or emotional
Impairment cannot perform well. Very
few jobs require all physical capa-
Oilities. Perfect physical specimans
are rare, and frequently for almost
everyone the modern industrial and
business systems don't require such
perfection for outstanding perform
ance.
'"These workers are prepared
because they have had the
benefit of the best medical sevices
they are selected for spe-
ific jobs through individual counsel
md guidance so that the chance of
heir being misfits is at an absolute
minimum; they receive the best pos
ible training for employment that
an be obtained today in schools and
olleges, on the job, from tutors or
trough correspondence courses; and
hey are placed in the right jobs for
nen1-jobs that require their abili-
es and do not require the physical
tributes in which they may be de-
cient.
''There is no way of estimating the
value of the rehabilitation
rogram to the States" Fredericks
lid, "But it may be reasonably as
lmed that the contributions of

POWER COMPANY DRIVE RUNS INTO TROUBLE
(By COOPERATIVE NEWS SERVICE


WASHINGTON, d. C.-Drew Pearson, in his
syndicated column September 10, exposed grow
ing campaign by the power industry to the
support of the American farmer, and showed the
first hurdles it is running into.
When approached by representatives of pub
lie relations firm behalf of the campaign AL
bert Goss of the National Grange, and John Davis
of the National Council of Farmers Co-operatives,
pointed out that the utilities have been pouring
thousands of dollars into campaign attacking the
co-operatives and indicated that a change in policy
would have to be made by utilities before repre-
sentatives of the farmers would even talk. The
preliminary conference may set the NTEA back
its heels financially in a very interesting fashion
Drew Parsons story is follows:
'"Wall street is quietly planning a sugar-coated
propaganda campaign to win the American
farmer. Strategy is to repair bad feeling in the
farm belt caused by power-trust opposition to
rural identification, reclamation and other Fed
eral aids o agriculture.
"The campaign will be managed by Park Ave
publicity firm, Stephen Fitzgerald Co., recently re-
tanned by the National Association of Electric Com
city firm is under strict orders to abandon strong
arm methods and to seek advice from farm leaders
on how to get back in the farmers good graces
"The reaction of two outstanding farm leaders
however-Albert Goss of the National Grange and
John Davis of the National Council of Farm Co-ops
was not encouraging.
when Ray Baker, of the Fitzgerald publicity
firm called on Goss, the Grange master bluntly de-
clared: I'm little bit suspicious of you fellows be-
cause of your activities in the past.

" 4 would prefer to see private in
dustry do the job of electrifying our
farms but when private industry
either can't or won't get the job done,
then it's up to the government or
farm co-ops.'
Davis likewise was dubious when
Baker visited him and said he want
ed to improve the bad public rela-
tions' between farmers and the pow
er companies.
Tell us what is wrong Baker
pleaded
'In reply, Davis showed the
New York publicist a list of con-
tributors to the National Tax
Equality Association, h Wall
Street lobby which has been bat
Ting farm co-ops. More than 40
persons of the Tax Equality con-
tributors were power companies.
IF you want to know why you
can't get along with farmers, just
