ed out that the population Of
Montana has dropped from
about 100000 in 1910 TO an es-
timated SCI 900 in 1949. a de-
crease of SO per cent. He cited
the principal reason for the de-
cline as increased mechanical
ton in farming. He said the
state chamber Of commerce is
urging the establishment or
small industries in the state
for manufacture of many items
which are now shipped in from
the east.
Montana is a raw material

aids and products, wood pro-
ducts, minerals and chemical
products are shipped into the
state. These are only a few of
the products shipped in which
could and are in some cases
produced here in Montana" he
stated.
Williamson cited as reasons
for our lack of development a
lack of people with manufac-
turing ~know-how, discrimina-
tory freight rates, high taxes and
a fear of the future of private
business as principal reasons

RippHng
of the Rivers

Officials of the March of
Dimes fund campaign this week
were glad to learn there still
are honest folks.
Recently r. Benedict Of Big
Horn, Mont, sent a contribu-
ton to Mrs. Joe Olenik for the
March of Dimes. Mr.. Benedict
had placed the money in a
cardboard which had been cut to
hold same.
But when Mrs. Olenik receiv-
ed the letter the cardboard and
the note were there, but no
money. Mrs. Olenik had no idea
that she would ever get the
money, but decided the proper
thing was to notify the post
master.
Upon telling her story to
Acting Postmaster Howard
Wagner, the mystery was solved,
for the dollar had worked
through the envelope, was loose
in the mail sack and rolled to
the floor as the mail was emp
tied.
Thus everyone was happy and
the dollar was turned over to
r. P. Ross, local chairman for
the March of Dimes.
Mrs. Olenik says the above
story has a moral: Do not send
money loose in letters. It is
much better to use checks or
money orders.
After a long course of treat
ment had failed, the maSseuse

Dorothy Thompson devoted
one of her late NEWSPAPER col
umns to conditions in the state
of Washington. That common
wealth, she said, els now up
against the inevitable crisis of
the welfare state-the same
crisis the British people have
had to face, namely, the rude
awakening that there amt no
Santa Claus"
The trouble stems from a re-
markable measure, called "the
citizens security act" which
was passed in 1913. Now, to
quote Miss THOMPSON again,
"this PROSPEROUS and progres-
sive state faces bankruptcy
Although the neoole voted to
increase the alreadv advanced
social security benefits, their
representatives have not dared
to vote the taxes to finance
them. They would explode the
happy idea that something ran
be obtained for nothing. The
result is a deficit approaching
$10n.00n.0O $50.
"A study of the condition of
this state is recommended to all
advocates of SocialiZed medicine
and cradle-to-the-grave so"ial
security. There are families
there who. taking advantage of
the multiple possibilities of
state aid, are drawing down
$500 per month and refusing.
naturally. jobs at 800 to $3.50,
"Eyactlv this poli"y wrecked
the Roman Empire."
The state of WASHINGTON has
been SINGLED out in this instance
because it has gone to an eX-
plosive extreme. But other
states are being tempted to
follow the same path. And the
national government, with its
huge deficits in spite of near
record income. is the worst Of
fender of all. May we learn be-
fore it is foo late that this kind
of social security" can only
mean so"ial economic disaster.

POLITICS OR GOOD SENSE?

We more or less expected of the terri tory's newspapers would come rushing to the de- fense of the poor, underprivileged firms doing business in Alaska who whistled down by justice departments traffic cops last week.
 The Juneau Empire Tuesday carried a long editorial in which it puts the whole down as a political maneuver engineered by Governor Grue- ming. No mention was made, of course question ing whether not the individuals and firms named were maybe really stepping q little too fast
 For years you have heard the lament that prices in Alaska too high. Now when gov ernment agency starts action to do something about it We see several newspapers shouting "poi- tes' and rising to defend the conditions by which these high prices maintained.
 The charge of politics might get by if it were for the fact that too many Alaskans have been the unhappy victims of these very practices the justice department names-price fixing, the two-prce system and other abuses.
 This politics" thing is getting hackneyed it becomes joke The "Gruening machine" is re sponble for all the ills of the territory What they hate to admit is that Gruening is the only gover- nor the territory ever had with the guts stand up to those who making the most money out of Alaska and demanding they pay their fair share of the territory's expenses.
 As to the guilt or innocence of the parties involved, that will be determined by due process of the law, but we would like to say right here and now they didn't call enough witnesses. They should hear the complaints of business right here in Wrangen who have been given rotten treatment by Seattle firms in the way of extra prices, lousy service and inferior goods-all be- cause we're in Alaska and not much be done about it, The justice department has plenty to work Charges of politics in this investiga- tion make the accuser look silly
 As usual, Gap Lathrop of Fairbanks into the picture with the usual lavish praise, "Lathrop puts his money back into the territory to help develop the country" For all know Lathrop might be right guy but his packers doing him no favor with this same old line of corn. They mention that when Gap puts money into something to develop the territory"
