Business Heads Needed

AS I have said. the country
wants. and the country needs. a
business administration because a
government that is spending over
seventy billions of dollars a year
is a big business Enterprise 1t
must be remembered. however.
that there is vital difference be-
tween government business and
private business with respect to
the overall objective.
Our government was institute
ed. in the language OF our Con-
stitution. TO promote the general
welfare. In other words. the pur-
pose Of government is to render
service, while the primary purpose
OF private business is to make a
profit on the money invested. For
the industrial leader trained in
the business Of making a profit on
his Investment to become sue
ceSsful statesman, il is necessary
for him to be ImDued with a
sympathetic understanding of the
problems of the common man and
to be motlvated by an ambition
TO promote the welfare of the
masses.
President Eisenhower hit the
keynote of this attitude in his
inaugural prayer when lie said.
Especially we pray that our con-
Germ Shal! be for all the people.

B0BBY'S LEOPARD

Roy Glover spent many years work

that for number of years paid off
for the ACM-Montana Power axis in
Montana. Glover's "policy" was a
form of ''kill them with Kindness" 1t
prompted the late Joseph Kinsey
Howard to write an article for a ma
tional magazine which he titled, "Can
The Leopard Change It's Spots?". To
those who had to face up to the Glover
type of Leopard the answer was obvi-
Gus. Though the Leopard was still
the same, spots and all, he was only
much more difficult to face in the

pei truckers to pay an equitable
share of the costs of highway con-
struction and maintenance. He cited
nationwide figures showing that it
costs the average motorist 81 cents
tax to haul ton of weight over 100
miles of highways, while commercial
truckers pay only II cents tax for
same weight per,100 miles.
Noting the Highway Committee

McAndrews recalled that the Peo-
pie had decisively defeated the
one-cent gas tax initiative last
November, primarily because all
too many believed the trucks were
not paying a fair share of the
costs of our highways. He said he
would vigorously oppose any at
tempt by the legislature to in
crease the gas tax.
Attorney Charles Huppe in addi-
ton to differing with Mr.. Gwynn
over the honesty of the truckers of
Montana, further pointed out that
the truckers spokesman had "cre-
ated strawman, by calling HB 250
a ton-mile tax, and then had set
about to destroy the BILL" HB 250,
4 weight-mile proposal, is much more
simple to administer and enforce
han a ton-mile law. Oregon had
/ ton-mile law from 1888 to 1947
md then changed over to the much
ess cumbersome and more equitable
N-M method of taxing trucks.
Huppe also reviewed the develop
nent of highway taxation, observing
hat Oregon, in addition to pioneer
ng the weight-mile law, had been
he first state to assess a gasoline
ak, back in 1919. The fuel tax
method of financing highways
worked very satisfactorily as long
s highways were used primarily
or light truck and passenger traffic.
Iowever, over the past 20 years, as
ighways became more and more
ines of commerce, much heavier
Dad building costs became involved,
nd continuing studies showed that
ne heavy trucks were not begin
ing to pay proportionate share
{ increased construction and main
,nance costs. Thus came about the
rgency for new formulas in figur-
g equitable distribution Of such
)sts. (Note: 1t costs more than
lree times as much to build a mile

Corrette is young, affable, friendly.
He has a cherubic, well-fed self-satis-
fled attitude. There is none of the
humility of the master. For example,
Roy Glover could have discussed farm

Farmers Union. He would never
have slapped at the man in a public

Veteran legislators believe Mr..
Glover would never have permitted

Mr.. Corrette can not seem to control

After one year Of service, Joe

Kuharich, hired in 1852 after

campaign. compiled a 4-s record
for the Cards. They ended the
season in a tie for last place in

The sale of the club-including
its minor league holdings-prob-
ably would be a four million dollar
deal. Saigh and Hannegan, former

whether it should try to negotiate
a deal directly with Saigh or talk
business with the National League.
The source also said it would be
practically impossible to move the
franchise in 1858, if the club was
sold to an outside group.
Saigh, in st. Louis, fatty stated
he had made no plans as yet to

there are no deals pending.
