ter, a veteran campaigner il

his usual reala4lic md fharo
hitting style and gave a com
prehensive picture of what hap
pened in the last election in
Massachusetts and how blank
voting cost the COP three Con

spoke specifically of Ward IL
being an opportunist ward, one
that jumped on the band wagon
of Whomever appeared to be
in the lead as a possible winner.
Mr.. Nelson was armed with
facts and figures to support the
points he made in his speech.
His address was a challenge to
Crispus Attacks as a COP org
anization and call for its mem
bership to deliver the votes at a
cost of hard work. There was
a question period at the end
of his address and refreshments
after the program.

AN ATTUCKS NATIONAL HOLIDAY

The Guardian has always been in the vanguard
in urging complete recognition of the Patriot Crispus

writer's Boston Baked) publicly advocated national
holiday for Attacks, the first American martyr of
the Revolutionary War which gave America her
freedom.
Such request would not upset any calendar
schedule The month of March has no other national
holiday listed, the 18th being local celebration in
Boston history and ST. Patricks Day is not a legal
holiday.
To stimulate greater patriotism and appreciation
readers to join Attacks Holiday Committee head
ed by Maude TrOtter Steward, and to send letters
cards and kilograms to the Governor President and
the Congress advocating such day in honor of a
citizen of New England viii you join us?
Letters from all over the nation are requested in
this crusade. Let all organizations NAACP, Elks

democratic endeavOr, join now to assure the world
that America has cOlOred patriots second to none.

The initiative measure is presently
in the hands of federation attorney
Charles V. Huppe, Helena, who is
completing the legal work involved in
its preparation. Amount of the pro-
posed pay increase, under terms of
the convention resolution, is to be
determined by the MSFL executive at
it's forthcoming meeting.
The subject of increased pay for
legislators has been banded about
for a number of sessions. Although
bill after bill has been introduced to
bring legislative pay more in line
with the increased cost of living, leg
islators have SHE'D away from TAX
ing affirmative action on such pro-
posals. These bills have invariably
died in committee.
In the last session, three Republi-
cans-Sykes, Bricker and Jeudeman,
and three Democrats - Macdonald,
Beck and Nixon, introduced House
Bill SO. This bill would have in
creased the daily wage of legislators
from SO to SIS per day, and for the
Speaker of the House from $40 to
$25 per day. The bill never got past
committee. In the 1851 session Rep.
Graybill ID. Cascade) introduced a
measure to pay legislators a flat
$1,000 year. This bill, too, never
emerged from committee.

Over the last year the rural cleo
trio coop, under the management

miles of new line were put in in the
past year and $37, 500 was paid off
in principal and interest on federal
loan. In addition, the co-op's board
authorized the outlay of $4,000 for
Series 81" bonds having a maturity
value of 100000. These bonds pay
the cooperative higher rate of in
terest than the interest rate on the
co-op's balance of Indebtedness to

LABOR FEDERATION TO SEEK POPULAR SUPPORT
FOR LEGISLATIVE PAY INCREASE Initiative

Popular support for an initiative
measure to increase legislative pay
to an amount sufficient to enable
any citizen to serve in the legisla-
ture without undue financial hard
ship, will be sought in the months
ahead by the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor, President James S.
TIMBER announced this week.
Legislative pay at present is $1,000
per day.
This initiative proposal, like the
occupational disease initiative the
federation will sponsor, is a direct
result of action taken by the seth
Grafton at it's August, 1858 meeting
in Kalispell.
In discussing the inadequacy of
legislative pay, the 1853 convention
pointed out: "This condition prevents
the average citizen from being able
to serve in the legislative assembly
and discourages able and honest men
from undertaking legislative service
and consequent financial hardship
and loss :"
To remedy this and to provide ga
schedule of remuneration consistent
with the responsibilities of legislative
service" that Legislators could serve
independently of outside financial as
sistance, the convention instructed the
federation executive board to'prepare
the initiative measure and "to take

etc.
Monday, following Rep. D'Ewart
announcing his aspirations for high
er office, Garfield county state sena-
tor, Charles Mahoney tossed his hat
in for the Republican nomination for
the congressional seat D'Ewart is va
eating. Mahoney, a State Senate
veteran of many years and majority
leader in the 1851 session, is active
in farmer cooperative affairs in his
area. He is president of Farmers I'm
ion Oil Co., Jordan, and is a leader
in east central Montana. He has fire.
quently been an outspoken critic of
policies of his party on the state and
national level.
1t is expected that Mahoney will
have one or more opponents from
the more conservative wing of the
COP at the July 20 primary.
In the first congressional district
there is little or no partisan activity
at this time. Cong. Lee Metcalf will
be out to continue his excellent work
as a freshman legislator, for an
other term. Republican hopefuls to
date have not been to conspicuous.
Earlier, rumor had it state COP
chairman Rep. Joe MacElwain of
Powell would seek his party's nomi-
nation for that post. Now that he is
going to Washington to lobby for the
power trust, and repeatedly also for
the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
pany, he is apparently out of the pic
ture.
Missoula county ex-representative,
Winfield Page who lost out in the
1852 primary by narrow margin to
Wellington Rankin for the same of
flee, is considered a likely bet to
again seek the Republican congress
sional nomination. Rankin, reports
are, will not enter this contest again,
but may file against D'Ewart for
the COP senatorial nomination.
OTHER STATE RACES
AS Of this date there is little more
than speculation concerning who will
be aspirants for either the office of
State Treasurer or Railroad and Pub

ONE LONG YEAR FOR A
FARM PROGRAM

Speaking of the recently proposed
farm program of the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration, Mitchell said the coun-
try waited one long year" for pro-
gram which never, perhaps, has
there been so much advance build up
for any plan with such a small con-
tent of the new IDEAS"
The basic reasoning behind the Eli
senhower program, Mitchell asserted
is that farm prices are too high =. :.
the government is going to use very
simple means of solving that prob
lem-it's going to let the prices fall
We tried that already in the case
Of livestock. Now, are we to see how
it works for wheat and other basic
crops?"
Contrasting the Republican pro-
gram of flexing farmers out of bust
ness with the Democratic program
