Rural Purchasing Power
I'm For Another Cut

Purchasing power of Montana
farmers is in for another substan-
tial drop in 1854, according to fig
ures released in federal-state
crop estimate report. According to
the report, the wheat crop will be
off from ia million bushels in
1858, to 80 million bushels in 1854.
This 25-million-bushel drop in pro-
duction means $53.5 million less
farm income from wheat alone.
Montana farm income for 1858
(crop and livestock) was $780,
$4,000 according to Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. This rep
resented a $37 million drop from
the $3S7,O7s, 900 total ran up in
1852. Another IS per cent drop in
1854 will mean that total Montana
farm income will drop to a maxi
mum of less than 1926 million. If
dairy products and livestock con-
tinue to slip, it is very possible that
total 1854 farm income will drop
considerably below $275 million.
Should the presidents flexible
price support program prevail in
the Congress, then, wheat produc-
ton income in 1855, based on an
abs olute maximum of 80 million
bushels for that year, will skid at
least SIS million more.

HEAT--M0 LIGHT
By FRANK SMALL, Helena

Super heated became Helena city
hall Monday evening when Mon
tana Powers suger engineer con-
tended that the American Way is
the power utilities private prop
erty.
The warm night had little to do
with the super engineers tempera-
ture when he was. advised by this
writer to go wave a flag.
According to Montana Powers
super lighting plan proposed for
south of the Capitol each household
must have at least two super-lumen
lights with the last word in super
engineering is, wooden poles
with overhead wiring. The written
protests were Judged" illegal be-
cause they only wanted to be ex.
cluded. My protest in person was il.
legal because it wasn't written.
My proposal that the city engi-
neer its own lights seemed to the
council as Moscow-inspired. How
CFCTs II w dS Noh&CoCd Tic city
has a confused tumble for light
ing system and that the power COM
pany's latest effort to sell bill of
super engineering (civilian term for
"snafu') is no improvement.
1t is believed that several bilked
residents are going to seek redress
through the courts. That's one way
to stop super engineers.
Consideration of the south Capt.
tol lighting plan was carried over
until next Monday morning when
it is apparently hoped by the COM
mission and power company that
the inconvenient hour will down
the protest to their pet Franken-
stein.

EDITORS NOTE: AS soon as
time permits, we shall make an analy-
sis of all the listings sent in by county
clerks which were disqualified. A cur
sury glance over petitions from the
various counties indicates than an
initiative petition, even though two or
three times as many good signatures
as required were obtained, might well
fail to make the general election bal

signers' names for Mineral county"
HERE is WHAT HAPPENED
The VOICE Editor has checked into
what happened to Mineral county's
lists of signatures. The county clerk
did get them in the mail in time, and
they were received by the Secretary
of States office on July 1, before the
deadline. However, the county clerks
office did not correctly certify the
signatures as being genuine, as is re-
CURED by law. Because of the late
ness of the date it was impossible for
the Secretary of States office to get
the petitions to Superior for correct
certification and back into Helena by
the July l midnight deadline.
Mineral county was not the only in
stance where county clerks did not
correctly certify the signatures on the
various initiative measures. Failure
to follow the law by number of
county clerks and recorder resulted
in disqualification of a good many
petitions for the three initiative meas

From CIO-PAC PIPELINE

On September %, 1852 the people
of Point Pleasant, West Virginia who
gathered around the rear end of g
campaign train heard a presidential
candidate say:
''You are being threatened :. by
the fact that we have got as many
Washington bureaucrats who want to
move in on you and show you how to
run your business particularly your
farms. They want to tell you what to
raise, how much of it, when to plant
it, and what to get for it and how
much to pay for everything you use
on that farm.
Certainly we believe in proper
price supports, proper protection
of the farmers against disaster,
but we certainly want him to run
his farm as he thinks it should be
run and not the way some long
haired bureaucrat behind a desk in
Washington thinks it should be
DONE"
1t came to pass a few months later
that the same presidential candidate
was elected to office and, presum-
ably, the long-haired bureaucrats in
Washington either got their hair cut
or got out.
Comes now the WALL STREET
JOURNAL of July 9, 1854 with
story carrying the following head
line: Farm Kibitizing Federal Ad-
visors Will Offer Individual Farm
er Master Plan for Living" The sub
head reads: They'll Cover Fertilizer

The story goes on to relate that

decided that what the modern farm
needs is ga complete master plan"

for each farmer with the help of a
government agent dispatched to his
