Q: What are the symptoms Of
anthrax?
A: Owners may not see any
symptoms. Often an animal is
suddenly found dead, for no known
cause. Then, unless prompt steps
are taken, anthrax may easily
spread all over the locality.
@: What causes anthrax?
A: "A tiny spore, which lives in
the soil. The spore form of this
germ can survive for years, and

@: What can one do to prevent
anthrax?
A: In anthrax areas" livestock
can be protected by vaccination.
However, vaccination should NOT
be done except in these areas, or
where an outbreak occurs. And
in any circumstances, the vaccin.
ating should be done by a veteri.
marian. Because the anthrax spore
is very deadly, and careless or i'm
proper handling may actually cause
an outbreak.

made a flying trip to Korea

killing Chinese Communists in
Korea without attempting to

Whether or not United Ma

Arthur said. He reiterated his
strategy to keep the Chinese

they can be lashed from air
while tank and artillery forces

The Reds still have a vast
reservoir of manpower and
material within the sanctuary
of the M%anchurian border which
they can call upon at will to
replace losses in Korea, he
said, and admitted frankly he

An Editorial
LAND RECONSIDERATION, AS PROPOSED
UNDER SENATE BILL ~
An Editorial .

After having heard considerable
pro and con at the senate hearings
Tuesday on SD 22* [ am more con-
WINGED than ever that statewide
program of Redistribution of lands
and improvements should be author
lied by the legislature. Like its pre-
decessor, SD "a of the 1949 session,
SD % is a sound, sensible and work
able first step toward establishing
a sound base for property levies and
the elimination of gross inequities in
assessments.
Although in the minds of many,
SD % does not go far enough-should
also set up machinery for reassess-
ment, etc.-still, if it receives legis-
lative approval, it will enable the
carrying out of the first major step
in undermining our tax STRUCTURE
uniform Redistribution of property
that more realistic appraisals can
be made for assessment purposes.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1951-02-02

To those who have gained the i'm
preston that SD % holds out threat
that the State Board of Equalization
may usurp the authority of the coun-
ty commissioners in the field of tax
alton, one point should be made
clear. Under the proposed act, the
state board will set up standards
whereby uniform appraisals can be
determined for like property in the
Sc counties. The sole responsibility
for seeing that the job of reclassifi-
cation is done rests with the commits
sioners.
One major criticism has been
raised-that it will increase taxes.
This criticism, in view of the exper-
fences of the several counties which
have already completed reclassifi-
cation and reassessment programs, is
without substance. Their experience
shows that, rather than general tax

Opposition was also expressed to
any increase in gasoline taxes, and

Once the Chippewa Indians, now
known as the Turtle Mountain band
and/or the Tandless Indians" of
Montana, had for their homeland the
area of the Red River country be-
fore it was ceded to the United
States by instrument of the sell-out
''ten cent treaty.
How did it come about? The Unit
ed State Government and the white
settlers moved west and though they
did not regard themselves as aggres-
sors against an Indian nation, they
wanted the rich lands of another peo-
pie. Therefore negotiations began
between these peace-loving, unwar-
like Indian people and the agents of
the government.
An agency of our government
dickered for the purchase of ten mil
lion acres of rich farm lands as cheap
w as possible-and Indian Affairs
was one bureau of our federal gov
eminent which had no objection to
the employment of disbarred law
yers.

pie under discussion were a proud
and honest group and their leader

the welfare of their tribes. Chief
Thomas Little Shell and his author
lied council were rightly insulted by
the offer of ten cents an acre for
their some ten millions acres of land
land which was subsequently sold
to the white settlers for as much as
two dollars and half an acre.
But our Washington administrators
had ways and means of getting
around the firm stand of Little Shell
and his council. They found a sub
chief for, whom, at this late date,
there is doubt as to whether or not he
was legitimate member of the Chip
pewas), whose name was Red Bear
Red Bear, together with rene
gade Indian agent called Wang, and
our government secured fraudulent
signatories to the ''ten cent" treaty.
What happened to Little Shell and
his band of peaceful people? They
were pushed onto the so-called Tur-
tie Mountain reservation and left to
starve. That is, they were given ra-

tons of 4 pounds of pork and Is
pounds of flour a month per person
for reservations are by and large
those lands which are the least pro-
ductive in any given region. The reas-
on most often furnished for this
that land reserved is withdrawn from
the taxable realm.
Thus it came about, that, rather
than remain to starve on the unpro-
ductive Turtle Mountain Reservation
in what is now North Dakota these
noble people migrated westward.
What do they want? Not a reserva-
ton. But productive land to farm and
pay taxes and be citizens even as you
and I. That is why they are not on a
reservation and hundred or more
work in construction and the smelter
in Great Falls.
Every right-thinking American,
everyone who believes in justice
ought to support Rep. Mansfield's
bill, HR 1871, for rehabilitation of
the landless Indians of Montana.
Further any right thinking attorney
in Montana ought to see that the
claim to reprocess the "Ten Cent
Treaty be filed this year, 1851, as
provided for under the law.

Dear Rep. Taylor:
For time by of the press and radio have been

cal condition of the state and how there will be little
money available essential state functions the
of aged citizens and the patients of several
todia institutions.
Like all other taXpayng citizens too Rep. Taylor have
wondered how in the face of likely alconsumng federal
budget and glazing nequtes which the House
making attempt to correct state fully
discharge its duties this next biennium
But view of your bemoanng the extra $432 900 that will
have paid cocs in the next bennium should scoss
payments be increased to $75 per month (HB 22 would
like to again offer suggestion to committee and
Republican (and Butte-acra colleagues in the House.
Why not and for all eliminate the doubebarreled
equity of the present silicoss benefit program?
Why do you fellows not face to the fact that sicosis
just much industrial hazard is the loss of limb
eye?
Why you permit the Anaconda Copper Mining Company
continue it's financial responsibility for the
those placed the industrial scrapheap by unsanary work
ing conditions in that cOmpany's mines and shelters?
What 'ogc" motivaes you in refusing to place
sicosis where rghtully belOngs-under the Industrial
Accident Board? Inadequate though workmens comp pay
still they considerably higher than the pittance
doed whose lungs have been permeated with silica
the employer rather than the general public must
foot the bill
While certainly true that the people of Montana will
countenance victims Of sicos and their families being
starve and human decency demands that such public
welfare benefits be increased to at least $5 it is also true that
legislature has for years ducked placing responsibility
financing such benefits where it rghtfully belongs
Certainly if slcoss placed under Workmens Comp
