Shaping Up for S.
BY fhe Assoeiotsd Press

A three-way drive is shaping
UP for next year to increase un-
employment compensation. with
employers footing the higher
bill.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell
disclosed last night new Eisen-
hover administration plea to
State Governors to get their leg
islatures to enlarge the amount
and duration of jobless pay to
idle workers.
Labor unions are spearhead-
ing a second phase. Doubtful
that State legislatures will act,
some unions are seeking through
collective bargaining to get Jem-
/ ployers to supplement present
State jobless pay.
| Al third effort will come In
Congress. A dominantly Demo-
cratic group of lawmakers there
plans to renew efforts to set
Federal standards which would
require the States to raise their
benefit levels.
President Urged Increase.
Early this year Gen. Eisen-
hover called on the States to
increase benefit payments and

that giving laid-of workers par
tial pay during involuntary idle
ness would bolster purchasing
power during periods Of eco
nonic stress.
Only three States-California
Michigan and Virginia-did any
thing about it. They raised bene-
| fits, but to a lesser extent thar
had been suggested.
Mr.. Mitchell renewed the ad.
ministration appeal in the be.
lief that, with nearly all States
having legislative sessions ir

gains are possible.

Ravalli county (Hamilton) was

for Montana, similar to that pre-

April, 1854, shows an increase of

Farm Values Down
5 Per Cent in Yeur

MISUNDERSTANDING the con-
tinued decline in agricultural in
come, the average value per acre
of farm real estate Gland and
buildings) in Montana declined 5
per cent between March 1, 1858,
and March l, 1854, with grazing
land showing the largest decline,
8 per cent, followed by irrigated
land, 6 per cent, and dry farming
land, per cent. These figures are
estimates prepared by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and
quoted in the June issue of Mon
tana Business, published by the
Bureau of Business and Economic
Research, Montana State univer-
sity.
The average dollar value of farm
land and buildings per acre in
Montana on March /, 1854, was es-
timated at $18.65, compared to
$20.37 on March l, 1852, and $20.81
on March l, 1858. The value of
top grade farm and ranches did
not decline as much as lower
Qual1Ly units.
Number of farms and ranches
sold in Montana during the year
March l, 1858, to March l, 1854, |
was over 20 per cent smaller than
during the preceding year, and the
rate of sale has not increased
much since. In some instances the
asking prices for farms and
ranches are still near the peak lev.
el of year or two ago and buyers
are unwilling to pay such prices
in view of reduced agricultural
prices and income. Some prospec-
tive buyers cannot meet the fl
nancing requirements of lenders.
1t also appears that fewer farms
and ranches are for sale than in
1851 and 1852. A further drop in
agricultural income or a less fav-

University Professors
Studying Glacier

WEST GLACIER-Three Mon
tana State university science pro-
feSsors are studying plants, ami
mails and fish in Glacier National
Park with the idea of preparing
scientific bulletins and booklets.
The scientists are cooperating with
Park NaturaliSts M. E. Beatty and
Don Robinson, and A. D. Gamma
vina, assistant chief ranger in
charge of forestry and wildlife.
DR.. Leroy Harvey, assistant pro-
fessor of botany, was in Glacier

Standley was connected with the
Smithsonian Institute, and now is
with the Chicago Natural History
Museum.
MSU's DR.. P. L. Wright, pro-
fessor of zoology, heads study of
mammals of Glacier National
Park, and DR.. R. B. Brunson, as
sociate professor of zoology, is
concerned with the parks fish and
reptiles. There are no poisonous
snakes in Glacier.
The MSU-Glacier association
dates back to the time of the late

Urge Safe Driving
Over 4th Holiday

HELENA-"The Fourth of July
like Memorial day, provides q
three-day weekend. With many OF
Montana's drivers jamming the
states highways during the holi-
day, the chance for driver mis-
takes will be multiplied many
times over the normal accident
risk" warned Glenn M. Schultz,
supervisor of the Montana High
way patrol.
"Last year four persons were
killed on Montana highways over
the two-day July 4th holiday.
"Traffic accidents just don't
happen; they are caused by in
difference, ignorance, reckleSsness,
or lack of courteous and decent
behavior"
In an effort to reduce the holi-
day death toll, the patrol is CO.
a statewide campaign
by enlisting the help of officials
traffic officers, and county safety
leaders.
The more than 80 organized
county safety councils in the state
have sent in the following sugges-
lions to help balance the extra
highway hazards:
l. Highway signs and markings
are literally "Signs of Life" Il
obey them.
2. Don't compete in traffic-let |
