The PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

Dwight Eisenhower has been elected to the Presidency
Adlai landslide vote He has carried the
Republican party to victory the congressional and state lev
els, and in some instances, even in county races.
Ripe for the pucng after of the most intensive
paganda campaign staged this country the people have
fallen victim the COPS threepronged
ism, Corruption and Korea.

take? It is doubtful No matter how much we stretch our
imagination picture anything progressive coming
of either the national the state legislature with
reaction firmly in control of both lawmakng bodies.
Stagnan the last two national in the
fields of legislation beneficial to the public whole
few gains were achieved Social security laws were improved
Price supports 80 per of parity continued through
1854 The REA program went steadily ahead Minimum wage
Legislation was improved Likewise numerous assaults by spec
ial interest to take the delands from all the
people of America attempts destroy farmer cooperaves by
taxation weaken the Fair Labor Standards
act etc. either stopped cold materially weakened
Picture you however what chance of constructive
progress there will be with congress held last by the Iaf
McCarthys and Jenners How much difficult will be to
slow the plunderng of the nations remaining
iy-financed corporation pressure groups
The stage set The idelans oil will be made
gift three coastal their major oil company
sgnees The Charles E. Wilson proposal to turn public
projects built with tax dollars to private utilities
at 20 cents the dollar slated for Industwde
bargaining will be banned thus Gripping destroy
ing industrial unions such Mill These only

ton to the 1853 Assembly, which propose ar-reachng
al concessions to the oil interests Now you've gone ahead
and elected Governor who has been long identified
with the oil interests and who state SENATOR supported
Sub HB 66.
Do you believe there will be any chance getting
halfway decent occupatona disease law through the next
islature?
What will the next legislature do about drafting equitable
tax laws for the big trucks which daily destroying
highway miles than the state afford replace?
What will the next assembly do about enacting adequate
stream and air pollution control legislation cope with the in
creasng number of pollution problems arising from establish
nent OF new basic processing industries in Montana?
