CHICAGO-(CNS)- National Tax
Equality Association is filming an at
tack on co-ops' alleged tax advant-
ages, trade sources have revealed,
Hayes Beall, educational service di-
rector for the Cooperative League,
said here February 25. The movie
is being prepared for business and
school groups across the country,

Congressman Noah NJ. Mason Grill
it has long led the fight to penalize
co-ops by taxing their refunds to

STATE REA BOARD WANTS
LIBBY, YELL0WTAIL
BUILT Immediately

Early construction of Libby Dam
on the Kootenai river in Lincoln
county and Yellowtail Dam on the
Big Horn river in Big Horn county
was strongly urged at meeting OF
the executive board of Montana State
Association of Rural Electric coop
eratives in Billings Tuesday, reports
association President George Lack
man of Billings.
In citing the immediate need for
construction to get under way on
these multi-purpose dams, MSAREC
directors pointed up that power con-
sumption on rural electric coop lines
in Montana has doubled in the last
five years.
This is only the beginning of the
electrical age and only the surface
has been scratched in the use of cleo
trical appliances" the directors said
in further emphasizing the Importance
of developing more power production
in the state.
The association directors also dis
cussed preliminary plans for the 1854
which will be held in Sid
ney in October.

INTEREST RATE ON PRICE
SUPPORT LOANS CUT

The rate oS interest charged pro
ducers and others on price support
loans will be lowered from to 3 p
per cent per annum effective with
the 1854 support loan programs, ac-
cording to Leo S. Kolstad, State Ag-
ricultural Sterilization and Conser-
walton administrative officer.
This reduction of p of 1 per cent
from the per cent rate in effect
for loans on 1858 crops is in line
with the recent trend of interest
rates on short-term government and
commercial borrowings. Amendments
to lending agency agreements, eff
fective with the 1854 crop loans, will
be negotiated at later date.

Two Montana Boys to Attend
Colorado Teen-Age Traffic
Safety Conference

Two Montana High School boys
will be selected within the next ten
days to attend a safety conference
in Colorado at the request of Colo
RADIO Governor Dan Thornton, accord
ing to Govern Aronson's office.
The type of conference which is
the third to be held in Colorado is
in operation in many other states,
and the aim is to try to bring about
greater driver responsibility among
teen-age drivers.
The teen-age drivers from Montana
will attend the conference under the
sponsorship of the Montana Motor
Transport Association due to lack of
available funds in state highway fl
nances to carry the project through.
Letters are being sent to the prin-
pals of the ''big 16" high schools
asking for candidates meeting the
four following requirements:
1. No higher than Junior in High
School.
2. Possessing qualities of leader
ship.
3. High scholastic standing.
4. Prominent in school activities.
What is learned at the Colorado
Conference can enable Montana to
set up similar program in which all
High School teen-agers will partici-
pate. A state teen-age safety con-
ference could then become part of

LETTERS TO The EDITOR

nlain when Cong. Clifton Young or
any other elected representative does
not represent them. In fact, the way
they could best be represented is by
the Representative doing nothing For
tunately, not all the forms were thrown
away with such Indifference, ana not
all were thrown away.
If the grounds of refusal to fill out
and sign these forms rests in the be-
lief that such action may result in the
persons being investigated, l am really
appalled,. once a man is afraid to eN-
ercise his right under democracy, he
is in a fair way to losing those rights.
Apathy of this sort is the epitome OF
un-Americanism
