MAYBE NEWS CAME BY PONY

What get kick out of is the fact
that the trouble started Thursday
night, was continued Friday night,
also Saturday night, but the company
papers did not mention one word
about what they afterwards termed
q riot, until Sunday morning -four
days after the trouble started.
Where were all the reporters?
Were they sent to Rocker or Raiders
burg? Never in the history of Butte
were the company paper reporters
lulled to sleep for four days, as l
know they are as active as any re-
porters we have in the country.

NATION FACING CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF POWER

eastern Missouri. High among the
victims of the situation will be rural
identification, whose expansion in
these areas is practically certain to
be stalled for lack of power. q .sa
Other shortages will begin de-
veloping early in 1862 in North
eastern states and some Midwest sec
lions as demands increase for more
power for defense production.
The full details of this grim I'M
published story are spelled out in
series of confidential power surveys
now on Mobilization Director Charels
Wilson's desk. In a nutshell this is
what these reports add up to:

tie. Texas has been receiving $1,000
900 a year or more from tidelands
oil leases for its school fund. State
profits from California oil leases
amount too several million dollars
annually.
Oil production from the tidelands
now amounts to only drop in the
bucket when considered on the basis
of potential production, many ex-
perts believe. Texas officials, for ex-
ample, have estimated THAT their
state may reasonably anticipate a
total income over the years of a bill
lion dollars from off-shore leases if
Congress can be talked into surrend-
ering Federal tidelands rights.

DO ACM'S CHARACTER QUALIFICATIONS

were it not for the face that in the
1916 miners strike they smeared the
city of Butte and accused Butte peo-
pie of being the most lawless of peo-
pie. | have lived with the people of
Butte for over 55 years and | have
found them to be class of people
just little better than any | have
ever encountered in any place L have
ever travelled. They are generous
to fault, many of them are hard
drinkers to be sure, but Butte is still
a rough and tough mining camp. The
majority of the population has hearts
of gold. Notice how quick they are
to respond in any emergency, when
hard cash. food or clothing is need
ed by some unfortunates.
Smearing Butte as lawless has
caused the company officials many
headache as the smear and lawless
charge was headlined in every paper
from coast to coast, and consequent
ly caused many a mining family to
shun Butte like a city with the
plague. This cost the company con-
siderable money as they are contin-
uously short of miners, hence their
idea of building the hospital, the
club house and several other items.
A smear like the one given Butte
by the company papers will take
long time to wear off-if it ever
does wear off.

CAMPAIGN OF FEAR
UNDERWAY

In an effort to enlist the aid of
inland congressman, which the coast
al states must have if they are to
pass the tidelands bill, a campaign
OF fear and alarm has been under
way for some time.
If Congress does not give up Fed
eral Government may next claim the
eralGo vernment may next claim the
ownership of iron deposits located
under inland lakes, oil under navi-
gable streams, and even docks on
bays and rivers, it is argued
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, is among those who have
not been taken in by the scare cam
paign. He, points out that at the
time of the Supreme Court decision
The Attorney General made it plain
that the Governments case involved
tidelands only.
The Supreme Court decision itself
was based largely on the traditional
responsibility of the Federal Govern
ment to protect the Nations shores
from other countries, responsibility
which could not by any stretch of
the imagination be extended to take
in the lands under inland streams
and lakes.
Liberal legislation to allow the
coastal states the lions share of
oil royalties and rentals from tide
lands has been proposed, but men
ike Senator Connally, of Texas, and
other states Fighters will be salts
fled with nothing less than complete
by the Federal Government
as represented by Congress.
The big drive seems to be under
way. But the principle of Federal
Jurisdiction over tidelands is sound.
1t is essential to national welfare and
security. |

THE REASON FOR SECRECY

Reason for all this secrecy is very
simple: 1t is due to fear on the part
of Wilson's private utility lieutenants
that publication of the surveys would
upset the recent successes of the util-
ity lobby in slashing congressional
funds for public power projects and
government transmission lines.
The Interior and Agriculture De-
partment appropriation bills, carry
ing grants for hydro-electric develop
ments and REA loans, which the lobby
axed in the House, have been tied up
for weeks in conference between the
House and Senate in an effort to iron
out the differences between them.
Disclosure that. the country faces
critical power shortage would unques-
tionably have powerful effect on
Congress.

O elite

Jesus and his disciples had
journeyed northWard from the
Sea of Galilee into one of the
most beautiful regions of Pale
stine. There he questioned them
about the opinions of men con-
cerning him, and then asked
their own opinion Of him. Peter
at once answered with what we
generally called the Great Con-
feSSion.
Christians have been divided
in their Interpretation of what
Mathew adds-that Jesus prom
ised the kingdom unto Peter
and, as some believe, declared
that he would build his church
upon Peter. But how could Jesus
have meant that he would build
his church upon one who could
so fail to understand his Lords
mission, and be addressed as
Satan?
The plain meaning is that
Jesus meant the rock of Peters
faith in his Lord and all that that
faith signifies. Though the ages
the church has been sustained by
the faith of men and women who
trust in Christ alone for their
salvation and who commit them
selves freely to his kingdom.
Following his rebuke of Peter,
Jesus called the multitude unto
him, with the disciples, and bade
them come after him in sacrifi-
cial service. indicating that
giving is life, Withholding is
death" So may we learn that
to follow Jesus means our sacri-
flee to him, to be used freely in
his service.

A life without love in it is
like a heap of ashes upon de-
serted hearth with the fire dead,
the laughter stilled and the
light extinguished. 1t is like a
winter landscape with the sun
hidden, the flowers frozen, and
the wind whispering through the
Withered leaves. God knows we
need all the unselfish love can
come to us. For love is seldom
unselfish.
There is usually the motive
and the price. Do you remember
William Morris, and how his life
was lived; his fortune spent, his
hands busted in the service of

B. 118 amends section 5904-6 SC
as to prohibit the wholesale OF
bootleg fireworks except spark
lers and cap guns. This bill was
proposed because fireworks were
being imported from other states
by trucks who claim they are
wholesalers. The present law
mentions retail but not whole

This would work a hardship on

IN MEMORY

In loving memory of Betty
Walters who departed this life
eight years ago in February,
l943.
Just six years ago, Dear Betty,
You so gently passed away.
We wanted so badly to save
you
But you could no longer stay.
They say time heals all sorrow
And helps one to forget,
But time so far has only
proved
How much we miss you yet.
Years go by but memories
stay,
AS near and dear as yesterday,
Deep in our hearts you are
with us yet,
We loved you too much to
ever forget.
Both our hearts and home are
broken,
Never can your place be filled,
God alone knows all our heart,
aches,
And we'll try to do His will.
Father and Mother, MIR. and
Mrs. Glen Long and family, son
Jimmy Walters.

We must stop kidding our
| selves that the mounting tax
bills will be paid by the big
fellows. The bottom of the big
fellows barrel has been scraped.
The Federal Government must
now dig deeply into the pockets
of US little fellows. In its recent
report to the President, the
Council of Economic Advisers
stated: "by far the largest part
of the additional revenue must
come from the middle and lower
tax brackets. There are the
brackets in which the great bulk
of the income is located"
All of us must now "kick in
The day of reckoning is here.
We must now pay for the spend
ing binge of the past 81 years,
during 19 of which our Federal
Government spent more than it
took in. We have a Federal debt
of $256 billion hanging over our
heads. We must pay as we 60
from here on or face national
bankruptcy.
Let US not forget that our
Federal finance is closely inter-
linked with our national security.
The battle for survival can be
lost, without firing shot. II we
continue to waste our re-
sources on social and national
commitments beyond our capa-
city, we will only play into
Stalin's hands. He wants us to
spend ourselves into bankruptcy
and thus destroy our power of
resistance. Our chronological
superiority alone will not enable
us to prevail against aggression.
Our first need is to preserve the
solvency of the nation.
Congress controls the purse
strings. 1t can and must apply
the brakes to the spending blnge.
In a recent column I paid tribute
to Woodworking Congress.
Now is the time for them to real
ly put in some overtime; to use
their axes to chop the Presidents
budget. Demand of your Con-
gresham and two u. S. Senators
that not a single dollar is to be
appropriated which is not abb
solutely necessary for defense
and essential service.-George

un called for wildcat switch
mems railway strike came along
about the time some of the
choice posts were being handed
out, and labor leaders here
couldn't or didn't do anything to
halt the strike. In Chicago, the
switchmen were fined $4,000
and they got another $4,000 fine
here in Washington when they
pledged guilty to contempt of
court for Haunting a federal
court injunction.
Whether labor's policy to with
draw the labor members from
the Wage Sterilization Board
means break with President
Truman remains to be seen.
Likely, the differences will be
patched up, for labor has no
place else to turn, despite the Of
fers of the hand of fellowship
made by Senator Taft and other
COP leaders.
Farmers say they are in favor
of labor getting its wage hike,
but we'll they might, for parity
continues to be sacrosanct, al
though it works like an escalator
clause in a labor contract, tied to
the cost of living. For when
prices go up, so does parity and
vice versa. So if farm prices are
tied to the parity figure they
can't hurt too much, although
some are so far beyond parity
now it is pitiful, particularly cot
ton and beef. But the law can be
changed, and this is what the
farmers are fearful might hap
pen. During the past war, farm
prices were fixed at 110 percent
of parity and farm leaders say
today they will be happy if they
can be assured they will get 100
percent of parity. And it is true
that many crops are still below
the parity formula.
Congress is making time more
or less, lots of committee hear
ings but little actual happenings
on the floor.

LEGISLATURE NEWS

Representative G. C. Philpot

Representative G.. c. Philpot
Monday evening three bills
were passed. Am. H. B. 83 which
applied only to counties having
an executive secretary of the re-
lief board. The bill permits the
county commissioners to ap-
propriate one half of the secre-
tary's salary for travelling ex-
penSeS. The vote was 88 to 80.
The opposition was centered in
the rural areas.
Am. H. B. 63 which was re-
ferred because Of ambiguous
statements in the bill came up
again and was amended so as to
eliminate the possibility of any
state funds being used. This bill
designates the state director of
agriculture as guardian of as
sets of the Ohio rural reha-
bilitation corporation. BY this
action these assets remain in
Ohio and will be used to make
loans to farm families who are
marginal risks or who cannot
secure loans from other sources.
The losses from this type of loan
has in the last five years been
about lfo.
Am. H. B. 80 makes chiseling
by people on relief a felony and
makes the penalty a very heavy
fine and a term in the Ohio
penitentiary. One man got $4,000
from relief while his wife was
working and received over
$4,000. Another man who was a
nightwatchman but declared he
was unable to get employment
when the relief investigation
called. He got several thousand
dollars.
