payer Of the county. believe in econ

for hauling chips and stones, and
less for scraping mud.

able from the County bond issue
should be used for improving our
present school buildings, w h I e

Oakland, large enough to meet the
requirements of that community.
If nominated and elected, will try

form all the duties of the office to

ECONOMIC FACTS POINT
TO DEPRESSION

A number of reports emphasize the
fact that declining farm income, de-
clining food exports, and record-high
profits of great corporations are paw
ing the way for another depression.
USDA in the Demand and Price
Situation reported that total food ex-
ports were 800 lower in 1949 than
in 1947. The report also pointed out
that farm income in 1949 was down
17e6 from 1948. Net income dropped
to $13.8 billion and is expected to
decline another 10 or 15% in 1850.
At the same time the profits of
565 American corporations in 1949
almost equaled the high record set
in 1948. These companies netted 70%o
more than in 1916. National Dairy
Products Corporation experienced
even larger profits in 1949 than in
1948! Its profits jumped lin round
figures) from 23 million in 1947 to
25 million in 1947 to 33 million in
1949. At the same time L. A. Van
Bomel insists that his inflated profits
are due to price reductions and that
he has only the interest of the con-
sumer at heart.-NFU in Washing

new ACM GAINS BY MIhE-MILL EXCEED THOSE
WON In STEEL and AUTO INDUSTRIES

The wage increase and contract
settlement terms negotiated last
week betweens Montana locals of the
Observation-Disclosures of Mine, Mill &
Smelter Workers and the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company were de-
scribed last night by union spokes-
man as "as good as any settlement
won this year in our industry, and
better than tze settlements negotiat-
ed in the steel, auto and most other
industries.
The comment came from John
"Curley" Mcleod, an officer of the
Butte Miners Local No. 1 and chair
man of the unions statewide joint
committee which negotiated the
agreement. Occasion for McLeod's
comment was radio broadcast last
night in which James Leary, a former
officer of the Butte local and cur
rently CIO official in the state of
Missouri, criticized the Anaconda
IUMM&SW settlement as inadequate.

of the Interior Oscar Chapman at a
meeting with League for eva lead
ers in Everett last week.
"CVA has developed into a fight
of the first rank between the peo-
pie and the special interests" Chap
man declared. "But the people of

dunn votes taken by the members of
our union is the best answer to any
criticism of the settlement. Our
members recognize it as significant
victory, especially after the Steel
and Auto workers unions of CIO gave
up the wage fight completely long be-
fore we even entered negotiations. +"
Mcleod declared that last falls
settlement by the Steelworkers
union, which Leary now repre-
sents, amounted to only one and
half cents an hour in a pension
program, and even this small
amount was gained only after a
long strike and at the sacrifice of
any wage increase"
The Montana ACM agreements,
he said, mot only provide a five-cent
hourly wage increase four months
in advance of the normal contract
expiration date, but brought ACM
workers new benefits in insurance
coverage and other contract i'm

STATE INCOME TAX MUST
BE PAID BY APRIL Is

Montana State Income taxpayers
have less than two weeks left with
in which to pay their 1949 tax. If the
returns are not filed on or before
April 1 and the tax paid, the law
imposes penalties which in some cases
exceeds the amount of the tax so
states John A. Matthews, Chairman
of the State Board of Equalization.
Income tax office at Billings,
Butte, Great Falls, Anaconda and
Missoula will be open until after the
18th for the accommodation of those
who wish to file their returns locally.
Others should file their returns with
the Board in Helena.
Lines of taxpayers have now begun
TO form in front of the tax collectors
desk waiting for assistance in the
preparation of their returns or an op-
portunity to pay their tax. These lines
will lengthen as the deadline April
Is the approaches. Taxpayers with
problems which they wish to dis
cuss with the Income Tax Auditor
should do so now.
Those with problems who are be-
yond the reach of a State Income
tax collector and who do not have
sufficient time left within which to
communicate with the Board should
prepare and file their returns as
best they can and attach full eX-
planation of their problem and state
how it has been treated in their re-
turn.
Errors in returns can always be
corrected without penalty.

NOTHING new ABOUT
nWILD CAT" royalties,
SAYS (. B. COOLIDGE

Noting that the Great Falls Trib-
une had characterized recent bid
on unproven state oil lands involving
cash lease consideration, plus royal
ty on whatever oil is produced, as
"new precedent" E. B. Coolidge,
Great Falls Gilman, this week stated
that such was not the case.
Coolidge, the successful bidder who
had submitted the proposal, pointed
out that I" | received several oil
and gas leases in the early for1ies
on a bid of cash and royalty which
were accepted"
Pressure by major oil companies oil
the land board, brought about a
change of policy, and, it was not un-
til last week, under a new administra-
ton, that the land department again
accepted "cash and royalty bid"
Emphasizing the value of such
leases on unproven land to the state,
Coolidge continued, "You can plainly
see that royalties are really worth
money and any wildcat royalty should
bring at least fifty cents per point
per acre. The board should look on
the long term policy for revenue
for school children. | feel that each
case or building should be decided
on its own merits. The state board is

Yankton, So. Oak. These estimates
when translated into terms of water
utilization, indicate that Montana will
take terrific loss" in available
water resources for irrigation should
the navigation channel be CON
structed
Concerning the Engineers esti-
mates, the Governor this week COM
mented:
"The Army Corps of Engineers
has kindly turned over to me their
estimates of Missouri River water
supply at Yankton as we'll as various
volumes of water to be used in de-
velopment under the Pick-Sloan Plan.
These show anticipated future flow
as 23,411,000 acre feet yearly past
Yankton and that out of this $780,
900 acre feet will be used by irriga-
ton and other projects in the upper
Valley while 16,745,000 acre feet will
go to the lower valley navigation
channel and in evaporation from the
reservoirs that supply it.
"The disappointing showing is that
there will be barely enough water to
supply present Pick-Sloan projects
and that more than 70 per cent of
Western water, supposedly protected
by the O'Mahoney amendment, will
actually be used for the proposed
navigation channel.
Since about AZ per cent of the
water that passes Yankton origin
ates in Montana it appears that our
state is taking a terrific loss in the
distribution of water that is con-
templated. These facts raise grave
question as to the feasibility of
installing the Lower River naviga-
tion channel and before further
funds are expended on it, it would
appear that a thorough investiga-
tion be made by Congress-"

HEconomizer" GWinn's Mail
Cost TO Government
Amounts To $4,000

Rep. Ralph Gwinn Or N. W, Con-
gressional mouthpiece for the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment, thinks the Federal Government
spends way too much money.
In the first three months of 1949
Gwinn sent out nearly 3 million pieces
of "franked" mail Most of it was
propaganda from the ultraconserva-
tive Constitutional Government Com
mittee.
A congressman does not have to pay
his own postage. Taxpayers foot the
bill.
Trade unionists see the need for
such a privilege. But how can Gwinn
square his "anti-government" views
with his liberal use of the frank
ing privilege?
For instance, those 8 million let
ters would have cost $4,000 if you
had to pay 8 cents postage for each
of them.
Or, Congressman, do you and your
friends on the Constitutional Gov
ernment Committee think this way:
ITS socialism when the Govern
ment helps the ordinary guy. But,
it's Americanism when we can get
our hands on Federal funds" The
Unionist, Sioux City, la.
