The House has passed and sent to
the Senate the bill to ''reduce" ex-
else taxes-by raising them S165 mil
lion this year. At this writing, the
Senate is expected to go along. AL
though he opposed the bill, the Presi-
dent is expected to sign it. Otherwise
about S. billion in taxes on liquor,
tobacco and gasoline expire April 1.
This was another example of the
majority party rewriting the diction-
airy as it did earlier when it "decen-
tralized' government by moving sew
eral subdivisions farther from the
people. It's title said this was bill
ito reduce excise taxes, and for other
purposes" One of the "other pur-
poses" was to increase excise taxes.
We voted for SLOT billion in in
creased excise taxes. We voted for
decreases totaling 1912 million. The
net effect is an increase of $165 mil
lion.
The 1851 Revenue Act liked taxes
on liquor. tobacco, gasoline and cars
until April 1, 1854, to help pay for
the Korean war. There are those in
Congress who thought that the end
of the war might justify cutting these
taxes to pre-Korean levels. Then
years of experience had shown a ne
cessity for revising the rest of the
excise tax schedule the feeling be-
ing that the schedule listed 'lux-
uries" many items which have be-
come necessities.
We were led to believe that the
administration, although it was
elected on pledge to cut taxes,
would bring in bill simply con-
tinuing excise taxes at their pres
emit level after April l because the
budget was several billion dollars
out of balance.
President Eisenhower said so sew
eral times. In his State of the Union
it was: because of the pres
ent need for revenue the excise
taxes scheduled to be reduced on
April l should be continued at
rates" In his budget mess
age to Congress two weeks later, the
President said: Because of the pres
ent need for revenue, l recommend
that the excise taxes scheduled to
be reduced on April l be con-
5inued at present rates"
On the morning of March 8, the
President told a press conference
hat he firmly opposed a reduction
n excise taxes and that he endorsed
he recent statement of Treasury Sec
etary Humphrey that the govern
lent could not afford the revenue
oss from excise tax cuts at this time
That afternoon, the Ways and
Means Committee approved bill

Petitions are being circulated
around Helena against going on day
! light saving time.
There was one in the Capitol today.
The Smeltermen at East Helena are
on record against it, and the out
door theaters are fighting it. There
may be more.
Helena, as compared with other
cities in the state should not settle
the issue on a purely local basis.
Being the Capital City time change
would be a great inconvenience to
the majority of the states population.
1t is the seat of government and
hundreds of citizens come and go dur
ing the summer. 1t is the center for
many meetings, and a change of time
would put us out of step with the
rest of the state and cause consid-
cradle confusion.
1t would be better for the main
street business establishments who
favor the move, to announce earlier
opening and closing time for the
benefit of their employees, to which
the citizens of Helena could become
accustomed rather than try and get
the rest of the state in tune to
temporary time change to keep up
with the State Capital.
Yesterday wednesday, was st.
Patrick's Day and to those "who wear
the green" it is a day dedicated to the
long life of the Irish Free State.
In Helena it was supposed to be
the day John Holmes initiated Arnold
Olsen into the happy Hibernian's So
ciety, so l went over to the Capitol |
to find out about the ceremony and |
see if l could get in on it. Imagine my
disappointment to find that John
Holmes was in California no
initiation no story.

Straight
Ahead
By OLIVE A. ADAMS

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-We note
with considerable interest that the
question of parental responsibility
in the matter of juvenile delin-
quency has popped up again. It
does every once in a while, and at
those times, Mama takes the big
geSt share of the panning. Of
course, somebody remembers there
is Papa, too, but mostly mothers
get the bulk of the blame heaped
on them. The younger generation
is going to the dogs, they say, be-
cause Nom isn't on the job.
Could be, but we'd like to point
out that Mama's training for her
job sometimes isn't quite all it
could be-academically or psyche
logically. So we suggest a COM
plete about-face in the whole edu-
cation of our future mothers-and
fathers.
First of all, even in this day and
age, nearly every little girl comes
into the world as second choice.
She's very cute and sweet and all
that, but relatives and friends all
but extend condolences because she
wasn't a boy Whatever she ex-
presses an interest in is strictly ia
boo, unless it has to do with ruff
files and dolls and such; and if
there are any little boys near her
age around, they are encouraged to
patronize her as though she was
somebody really not quite bright,
because after all, she's only a girl.
if she appears to have any sense
at all, she is advised to keep it
under cover. Not ladylike, you
know. Pretty soon, she gets the no.
ton that being girl is a pretty
shoddy existence, indeed.
Then all of sudden she grows
up, and the truck drivers start
at her and for the first
time she gets some feeling of i'm
portance Now, she knows perfect
ly we'll they are not Whistling at
her intellect, so she proceeds to
cultivate or eXaggerate her "at-
tributes" They are the talents
played up as the most desirable,
with Marilyn Monroe as the shin
ing example. 1t then becomes
daughters chief ambition to be
chosen Miss Pineapple Juice of
1855 or some such.
With this rich background, she
enters upon matrimonial VEN
ture and finds she has missed out
on some basic training. Well, now
that we understand how import
ant mothers might turn out to be,
it might be well to give these po-
tential parents little warmer re-
ception into the world-teach them
their Importance to the coming
generation, and give them the best |

FOR WANT
OF A nail
BY JUNE L'RHUE

NEW YORK, (GlObaD - There
used to be text book down
around the fourth or fifth grade
level, which carried a poem that
most of the children liked. 1t was
just a simple piece, but had an
excellent moral and went some
thing like this: For the want of
nail, the shoe was lost; For the
want of shoe, the horse was lost;
For the want of a horse, the rider
was lost; For the want of a rider,
the battle was lost; And all for the
want Of two-penny NAIL"
Now, the lesson of this poem is
so obvious that any elaboration
might constitute an improperly.
But just in case of an exception or
two, we feel that a little working
out might prove worth while, so
we dare drive home a point or two:
For every misfortune there has
~ OC q ClIyJ OuI UdSlC lIlSI cause.
Nearly every disaster can be traced
to what might have seemed, before
its occurrence, a mere trifle, whose
oreal place in the scheme of values
appeared not to be understood un-
til it was too late.
1t would have cost the United
States only a nominal sum of mon
ey to institute the Ice Patrol be-
fore 1912 instead of after that
time, as was the case. Because no
such system was in existence, the
great titanic collided with an ice
berg, causing the greatest sea cal
an1ity on peacetime record. The
American Revolution resulted in
enormous losses for the British and
for us. The whole situation is
4 ,Sraceable to the fact that some-
where at the inception point when
Britain started to conceive the
pattern of the relations she would
Aaintain with America, she did not
watch that tiny, but potent ten-d
dency in her planning to be unjust.
and disrespectful of the colonies
rights. A moral curb on her little
ambition before ITS would have
proved much less costly than the
curb that was forced through blood
and tears afterward.
"A street light is a very little
thing compared to the trouble its
absence frequently leads to. We
speak on behalf of all of the dark
places in the towns and cities of
America. 1t is an elemental law
that dark breeds crime and light
will prevent it, weed it out. The
street light expansion taking shape
IN Nashville, Tennessee, and some
other cities of the South is bound
to bring about downward revi-
sion in crime rate, and the example
is certainly laudable, and worthy of
emulation
= So much good can be lost for the
want of a two-penny nail, and the
converse is equally true.
