Offers 3-Point Program
In his annual presidents address
Weydemeyer offered three-point

lem:
/. Stable, full employment.
2. Economy, which can be pro-
NOTED by "sound" money.
8. Balanced budget, through re-
duction of government expenditures
and taxes.
with these" he asserted, "plus
basic programs in agricultural re-
search, extension education, soil con
servation and credit, we would have
little need to ask congress for spe.
cial farm program legislation"

Weydemeyer, Republican state
senator from Lincoln county, said
the present emergency is likely to
last our lifetime
He said congress and the admin
istration have the power and respon-
sibility to control federal spending in
excess of tax income-'sthe major
cause of the degree of initiation we
now have"
Farmers Not TO Blame
AS the featured speaker of the
second days session Alfred r. Ander-
son, state commissioner of agricul-
ture, declared that the high price of
food cannot be blamed upon the
farmer or federal farm price sup
ports.
As an example he pointed out that
in 1913, with wheat at s. bushel,
the consumer was paying Is cents for
a loaf of bread. To-day, with So
wheat, they are paying "a cents"
''In other words, the price of wheat
has dropped " since 1948 and the
price Of bread has risen vs.. If the
farmer donated the wheat, it would
make difference of 27s cents on
loaf of bread" Anderson said.
He called beef prices "a horrible
example of the high cost of food, !"
but said the stockman sshas no power
to set the price, nor has any gov
eminent program ever affected the
commodity except the recent efforts
of OPS to hold the price down.
Law of Supply. Demand
''The law of supply and demand
has set the price. OPS is having seri-
Gus difficulty in keeping that law
within bounds of its regulations, .
Anderson said.
He called Montana "a great state
in more than SIZE" which can look
to its agriculture future with con.
fidence.
Anderson said Montana ranks frs
in the nation in production Of must
ard seed, wheat protein content
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-11-01

strip-cropped acres and cropped acres
and cropped acreage increase.
It stands second in wheat produc-
ton; third in wool output; fourth in
lamb and sugar beet production and
irrigated acreage; fifth in barley and
alfalfa seed; sixth in flaxseed and
dry beans output and cash income
per farm.
Bonner Praises Grange
Speakers on the third days pro-
gram were Gov. John w. Bonner and
H P. Christensen of Seattle, Wash
ington State Grange master.
Bonner congratulated the Montana
Grange for its accomplishments in
lettering conditions for farmers and
the youth Of the state and praised
Weydemeyer for his work as presi-
dent.
agriculture is our basic industry"
Bonner said. 'Only when the farm
ers are making "a reasonable return
on their investment and work do we
have sound economy.
Il am happy to see an era in which
farmers and ranchers are making
such a reasonable return" the gov
ernor added. ''This was not true in
prior years"
Christensen emphasized that the
Grange stands for conservation of
all resources, full production, reduc-
ton of debts and curtailment of I'M
necessary public expense.

Studies show that the majority
of breakdowns are due to misuse Of
machines and carelessness. Most
are due to little things-not using
grease often enough, avoiding rust

ening bolts in time, cleaning filters

CHARLIE THE BANDIT HOUND
Continued from page nine

Well, the papers reported the
finale. There aren't many all
night restaurants. In diner out
on Route 81 the little posse
spotted a likely looking group of
three men. The cops knew one
of them as a former car-thief,
which made it easy. Gravitt
possessions were found in a car
outside, along with the proceeds
of an earlier robbery. Gravitt
didn't have to say so, but even
without the Gravitt treasures he
would have been sure these were
the men. At any rate, it cooked
the Television Gang, and the
cops did, as reported, present
Charlie with two pounds of
ground round.
When all was quiet, and Sally
had gone to bed, Gravitt went
to his topcoat in the closet.

little fraud" he said softly. He
tossed Charlie an item found on
one of the burglars. "You buns
will steal anything" the cops
had said coldly, but it was a
bum rap. The burglar knew he
had Gravitt's cufflinks and some
of Mrs. Gravitt's costume jew
elry in that pocket. He denied
Indignantly that he had stolen
one badly used hard-rubber ball.
What did they think he was!
CHARLIE caught it with the
happy ease of a big-league short
stop, pranced the room like a

ball on Gravitt's knees. 1t fell to
the floor. Recovering expertly,
Charlie nosed it against Gravitt's
hand, all but closing the fingers.
Gravitt ignored him, turning as
if interested in something going
on in the dining room.
Fretfully, Charlie sprang to
the seat beside Gravitt. 1t took
him three impatient tries. But
with expert paws and nose, he
worked the ball into Gravitt's
coat pocket. Then he leaped
down triumphantly and took up
his ball-catching position. Now
he clearly thought - this dim
wit will hare to play with me.

IAN knew that next morning
- that she would have to do more
than just say goodbye to Ray. SHE
would also have to convince hin
that she was leaving because she
wanted to, when in reality it was
the last thing she wanted. And she

that she did not love him, that

She had sent another wire at the

Amanda. For Jan felt that the time

she was to receive an answer to

Fortunately the United States

government is not under fire

Is sad commentary on local
government that it took a Senate
investigating committee to bring
into the open what has been
going on in many cities under
the noses of the voters. In
some instances the newspapers
in local areas have published
the sensational facts but the
people or their Legislatures have
not seen fit to become aroused
over them. Some repercussions
may occur now, but it is still a
reflection on local government
that these belated inquiries are
prompted by a congressional
expose.
It is an open question, too,
whether all the television ex-
citement means much more than
morbid curiosity. The gangsters
of prohibition days attracted
attention. as do criminals always.
If a notorious Dillinger or a
Capone were to be exhibited to
public view at a movie theater
or the Yankee Stadium, that
probably would pack the house,
too.
The public likes a show and
television furnishes a spectacle,
but 1t remains to be seen
whether the show has not really
endangered to some extent the
opportunity of a congressional
committee to cite witnesses who
have committed perjury or who
refuse to answer questions.
Two of the important wit
nesses before the Kefauver COM
mittee have already refused to
testify before the television
cameras. Judging by the way
the courts split hairs nowadays
on the matter of constitutional
rights. it could happen that what
gave the people good show this
week also may have lost for the
same people an opportunity to
prosecute persons accused of
wrongdoing.
