JOE DIXON DID 1T IN THE TWENTIES
1852 COP COULD REvITALIZE STATES POLITICS

Republicans this weekend will be
cooking in party meeting at Great
Falls. These meetings whether Re-
publican or Democratic) entail the
getting together of party stalwarts
to lay campaign plans, set the tenor
! of the coming election year, test the
balance of power of the various fac
lions within the party and devise
ways and means of building funds
for the party campaign war chest.
There are pep talks and the surface
unity presented to the general pub
lie is not always as united" as the
party would have everyone believe.
In this year of election, 1862, there
seems to be little of inspiring or en-
lightened leadership in either party.
Because of confusion, hysteria,
lack of vision and few men dedi-
Gated to principles of lasting conse-
quence the people of America and
Montana have been left bereft of
worthy, strong men who could in
ject the spirit of enthusiasm in the
voters.
Politics is a devious business. It
is fraught within timers" and out
ers." AT the first sign of a strong
character on the horizon, knives are
drawn and needles sharpened. Best
known and easiest skid-practice in
wolves loading the ticket with
names" denoting nationality or re-
ligion. Candidates of this calibre are
a dime a dozen.
Inner party strife in both parties
this year is at an all time high.
Republicans this weekend will be
talking up candidates for Senator,

Representatives and Governor to LEAD
the party to Victory in the 80 cleo
tons. They go into conclave in an
atmosphere of obvious confusion
They have a record which has left
the voters cold. The violent emotions
inherent in the MCCARTHY Attack
are losing popular support locally
and nationally.
Some believe there could be a def
mite move to find Republican candi-
dates who will be able to disassociate
themselves from party skeletons, some
believe the bones are not dry enough
to rattle in this campaign.
There are Republicans who are
beginning to feel that the forces who
have controlled Montana politically
and economically for decades, do not
have their entire stake within the Re-
publican ranks.
AS the political whip begins to
crack the most conscientious errand
boys are feeling the sting of the
lash. There are going to be ruffled
1OdCilSlo " oiilOOCu DelOT6 unity
can be established.
Independent Republicans, who for
many years have doubted the ''bless-
ings" bestowed by the strong hand
flourished over them, associating them
always with monopoly control, may
feel they can now come forth and
make showing.
There is dissatisfaction across the
state and nation with both parties.
Voters could find refreshing a sign
of liberalism cropping up in the ranks
of Republicanism. 1t could bring back
a spirit of interest in an apathetic
populas. A breath of the Teddy Roose-
welt technique would be a shot in
the arm to the stymied status of |
Montana politics.
One big trouble with all of this
IS that Montana COP would have to
consume copious quantities of Vita
min E and spend longer than the
weekend of October 18th welding
;hovels burying their casualties. How
ever, they say ''Hope springs etern-
~ and from some source must come
he leadership to guide us out of
,ur dilemma. 1t would be fun to think
ome of us might still be around to
'heer when that time comes.-GGB.

If onry the 63,9S1 acres whose
owners signed the petition for the
creation of the district, sign contracts
for the purchase of water, the cost will
b 1907 per acre. If the whole 10000

sponsible for the cost, 1t will be 1925
per acre. However, under the Irrigation
District law, all obligations of the
district are the equal responsibility of
every acre i'm the district. That is the
reason for the hearing on a petition for
the creation of district, to give the
landowner an opportunity to have ex-
cIuded, every acre of land that will not
benefit by irrigation. If only 10 acres

be benefited, then the other 81 acs.
should be excluded. Therefore, under
the present set up, every one of the Ca
1898 acres of non-irrigable acres in the
district will be held equally responsible
with the irrigable for the payment of
the irrigation charge. Not only that, |
but the per acre charges are computed
by the officials of the district and hand |
ed to the County Treasurer for col !
lection in the form of taxes. If they are |
not paid the County takes over the |
land by tax deed. The Supreme Court of |
Montana has held that when this is
done, all liens against the land are
wiped off the books on the theory that
holders of liens should pay the taxes
and take tax deed if they
want to protect their equity.

SP0RTSMEN SAY THAT
BRANNAN MISINFORMED
ON ELK PLANTING

Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
has been misinformed on the "avail-
ability of range and forage on the
public domain" Barney King, big
game chairman of the Rocky Noun
tain Sportsmen, Butte, asserted this
week in letter to Cong. Mike Mans
field.
The sportsmen are asking Mans
field to insist that the Department of
Agriculture conduct IAN independ-
ent investigation by citizens of Mon
tana not in the services of the fed
eral government in regard to the
availability of range for transplant
ing elk from Yellowstone National
Park :"
In making the request for an in
dependent survey the sportsmen in
effect contend that Secretary Bran
nan is receiving only Handouts" of
information that Forest Service and
other federal officials see fit to pass
on to him.
Noting that Mr.. Brannan had
stated in a letter to the sportsmen
that g. any efforts which may have
been made in Montana to obtain more
adequate harvesting of big game ami
mails most certainly were in the in
terest of good management of the
forage and timber resources and the
future productivity of the big game
herds ;" and that a similar line
had been taken by the regional for
ester, King contended:
eve cannot expect that the Sec
rotary would be given any line of
from the forest SER
vice, only that which has been given
to the sportsmen by the forest SER
vice for a great number of years"
Because they are of the opinion
such forest service reports do not
convey true picture, the association
S demanding an independent survey,
hat the policy enunciated by Mr..
8rannan be put into practice.
The Rocky Mountain Sportsmen
or a number of years have opposed
he policy of federal officials to
conduct an annual slaughter of elk
within Yellowstone Park in order
o reduce the herd. Instead, their
ontention has been that surplus elk
hould be transplanted on public do
