Reconsideration of Land
Classification Proposal

Last week we roll called the sem
ate tally on SB22- the land reclassi-
fication measure by Anderson (Pon-
dera) at ell. On that roll call one
of the bills sponsors, Moss of Flat
head, was shown as voting against
the measure. Purpose of his may"
vote was to ensure reconsideration,
should the measure fail the first
time. Thursday, Sen. Moss so moved.
Reconsideration lost by a single vote
1927 On the reconsideration vote
Gosman and Holland who had origin
ally supported the measure, voted
against reconsideration. Duncan who
had been excused the previous day,
also voted for reconsideration. The
Reconsideration" vote will be used
in providing permanent "box score"
record on this most desirable measure
which sought to put the wheels in
motion for reforming our antiquated
property assessment system.

AMERICANS ARE Eating
BETTER THAN EVER

NEW YORK-(CNS)-The aver
age American ate better in 1850 than
in 1949.
This was the result of a survey an
nounced by the January % FOOD
TOPICS, magazine of the grocery
trade. "Measured in actual tonnage
rather than in dollars-per capita
food purchases were 1872 higher
last year than they were the year
BEFORE" FOOD TOPICS reported.
Moreover, 1949 per capita food con-
sumption was in turn 1859 higher
than in 1948. ~ IT. 8
"The significance of these in
creases lies in the fact that they
represent not just money spent for
food-but actual quantity of food
consumed. Apparently no limit has
yet been reached on the American
peoples need - and demand - for
food" The figures, according to
the magazine, are preliminary esti-
mates on 1850 food store operations,
the first to be made public.

Small Sfockmen, Vets, Car
Thank Johnny For This

HB28O-another measure by Esp
and Scofield-in it's original form
would have made it necessary that
any purchasers of state lands put up
SO per cent down payment. Had this
percentage prevailed, it would have
literally ''frozen out" small stock
men, vets and other younger men
from ever being able to purchase the
grazing land so necessary for get
ting start in the livestock industry.
Even the lands committee thought
the so per cent bit high and cut
down payment to 33 IS per cent. Con-
sidering the latter figure still too
high for the newcomer in the in
dustry, Rep. John Macdonald Gar
field prevailed upon the mouse to
cut the down payment figure to 20
per cent. His amendment carried, and
the bill, as thus amended, is now be-
fore the senate.

ANTI-CVA-MVA MEMORIAL PASSES HOUSE

Montana Firsters who only a few

THE Old TIMER
AP0L0 GLZES

Once again The Old Timer has to
apologize to the readers of THE
PEOPLES VOICE for a grevious err
ror. fy
Some weeks ago after having at
tended a Railroad rate hearing, I
came to the conclusion that the rail-
roads were in dire straits. In fact it
looked as if they were starving. So
always being a good samaritan l i'm
mediately took the side of what
though was the "Poor Suffering
Railroads" and appealed to the read
ers of The Peoples Voice for dona-
tons. large and small, to help the
rails in their distress. | figured no
one in Montana wanted to see any
one starve, especially our very benev-
client railroads. j.
1 was in error in all my findings.
Now l find the railroads in 1850
made more money after taxes and all
other "takes" were deducted than
they ever had in their history.
SO now will return all the dona-
tions | received for what thought
was very worthy cause-but I sup
pose no one can be right all the time.
The following is a list of the net
profits made by some of ou1 rail
roads in 1850 as compared to 1919:
Northern Pacific: $19,O0O,0OO in
1850; 100000 in 1919;
Pennsylvania, $38 million in 1850;
S12 million in 1949:
Sante T'e, $81 million in 1850,
$55 million in 1919.
Union Pacific, $44,O00,OO0 in
1850, $21, 100000 in 1919.
Baltimore & Ohio, $34 million in
1850, $27 million in 1919;
Burlington, 100000 IN 1850,
SIS, 100000 in 1919;
Louisville & Nashville $24 million
in 1850, So million in 1919.
New York Central, SIS million in
1850, SO million in 1919;
Milwaukee, $14,O0o,OO0 in 1850,
So, 100000 in 1949.
Boston & Maine, S2.4 million in
1850, $159,127 in 1919;
SOME INCREASE, WHAT?
All these profits are AFTER
taxes and excess profit taxes are
taken out, so it does not look as if
our excess profits tax is working
very efficiently. 9.
All corporations operating in the
United States show greater gains in
1950-over previous years, than they
ever had made in their history

when success was assured, private
power came and snatched the con-

and took poor Nolan and his traps on the
boat back to try his second cruise.
He looked very blank when he was told to
get ready to join her. He had known enough
of the signs of the sky to know that till that
moment he was going home" But this was.
distinct evidence of something he had not
thought of, perhaps - that there was no
going home for him, even to prison. And
this was the first of some twenty such trans
fers, which kept him all his life from the
country he had hoped he might never hear of
again.
1t may have been on that second cruise -
it was once when he was up the Mediter-
ranean - that Mrs. Graft, the celebrated
Southern beauty of those days, danced with
him. They had been lying long time in the
Bay of Naples, and the officers were very
intimate in the English fleet and our men
thought they must give great ball on board
the ship.
They wanted to use Nolan's stateroom for
something, and they hated to do it without
asking him to the ball; so the captain said
they might ask him, if they would be respon-
sble that he did not talk with the wrong
people, who would give him intelligence"

and here the poor fellow choked, could not
60 on, but started up, swung the book into
the sea, vanished into his stateroon, "And, by
Jove," said Phillips, I'VE did not see him for
two months again."
That story shows about the time when
Nolan's braggadocio must have broken down.
At first, they said, he took a very high tone,
considered his Imprisonment mere farce,
affected to enjoy the voyage, and all that; but
Phillips said that after he came out of his
stateroom he never was theasame man again.
liz NEVER read aloud again, unless it was
the Bible or Shakespeare, or something else
he was sure of. But it was not that merely.
He never entered in with the other young
men exactly as a companion again. He was
always shy, when knew him - very seldom
spoke, unless he was spoken to. He had the
nervous, tired look of heart-wounded man.
When his ship was coming home from that
first voyage they made one of the Windward
Islands, and lay off and on for nearly week
After several days the Warren" came to the
same rendezvous: she sent 10 Phillips and

papers. and told them she was outward-bound

Well, different officers relieved each other
in standing and talking with Nolan in a
friendly way, so as to be sure that nobody
else spoke to him.
As the dancing went on, Nolan and our
fellows all got at ease so much so, that it
seemed quite natural for him to bow to that
splendid Mrs Graft, and say, II hope you
have not forgotten me, Miss Rutledge Shall
have the honor of dancing?"
liz DID it 50 quickly that Fellows, who was
with him, could not hinder him. She laughed,
and said II am not Miss Rutledge any longer,
Mr.. Nolan; but l will dance all the same"
just nodded to Fellows, as if to say he must
leave Mr. Nolan to her, and led him off to
the place where the dance was forming
Nolan thought he had got his chance He
had known her at Philadelphia, and at other
places, and this was a godsend. He began
with her travels, and then, when they had
worked down, he said boldly = little pale,
she said, as she told me the story years after,
And what do you hear from home, Mrs.
Graff?"

circle knew line of the poem, only it was all
magic and Border chivalry, and was ten thou

through the fifth canto stopped a minute and
drank something, and then began, without a
thought of what was coming,
"Breathes there the man. ,ctth soul so dead,
Who nsvey TO himself hath said, -
1t seems impossible to us now that anybody
ever heard this for the first time; but all these
fellows did then, and poor Nolan himself
went on, still unconsciously or mechanically,
This is my o,Un, my n0ttve land!"
Then they all saw something was to pay;
Nolan turned little pale, but plunged on
