JEROME C. LOCKE, NOTED AUTHORITY ON
RESOURCE development, PASSES AWAY

Jerome g. Locke, 72, engineer
newspaperman, veteran of two worlC
wars and nationally recognized au-
thority on resource development
passed away Wednesday, July 7, at
the Veterans Hospital at Fort Harri-
son, following an illness of several
months duration. He was born April
2, 1882, of pioneer parents who came
to Montana in the late sixties and
settled in what is now the Livingston
area.
A graduate of Montana State Col
lege, in the fifty years thereafter,
Col. Locke held many important posi-
tions of public trust in both the fed
eral and state governments. In 1910,
at the age of %, he was appointed
L. S. Cadastral Engineer in charge
of the Helena branch of the General
Land Office by President William

after, was a commissioned officer
in the U. S. Army Engineers. Follow
ing the end of the war, he returned
to Montana and campaigned actively
in behalf of the campaign of Sen.
Joe Dixon for the Governorship. In
early 1928 he was appointed by Gov.
Dixon to the Craftsmanship of the
Industrial Accident Board, post he
filled ably until the expiration of
his term in 1927, and a Democrat, J. |
Burke Clements was appointed to

Three weeks ago a Citizens Com
mittee from the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation wrote high state Off
Gals asking them to attend a meeting
in Poplar and help local authorities
handle what was claimed to be I'm
dian LawIessness." The Citizens Com
mittee made some rash charges about
deaths resulting from auto crashes,
terror" among the townspeople of
the area, Child abandonments," and
local hospitals being filled with alec
holics."
A couple of days later city Off
Gals of the reservation town of Pop

of the citizens committee and dis
claimed the extreme nature of the
situation as set out by that committee.
However, the Poplar City Council felt

Flexible Supports, Wheat
AIIotments, Opposed BY
South Valley r. u.

HINSDALE.-Res opposing
proposed cuts in wheat acreages, con-
demning lowering of the parity for
mula in fixing farm prices and urging
re-enactment of the agricultural con-
servation program were passed by
the South Valley County Farmers
Union at its convention at Hinsdale.
Resolutions also asked that acres
idled to help control wheat SURPRISES
be put to some use to contribute to
farmers incomes, recommended adop-
ton of the Brannan Plan to deal with
SURPRISES, asked that legislators be
paid adequate salary increases and
urged that the Atomic Energy Act
be kept as is to protect "what may
be our most important resource"
More than 100 delegates and visi-
tors attended the session. Sidney Cot
ton, Glasgow, presided. Several coun-
ty and state political campaigners
were present and given opportunities
to speak.
Mrs. Charles Cotton reported on
the state leaders conference at Havre

Murray, Mansfield, Vote To
Increase Tax Exemptions

Senators James E. Murray and
Mike Mansfield, last week, both
voted in favor of the amendment
to HR $500 which proposed increas-
ing individual income tax exemp-
tions from $500 to $500. The
amendment, which was killed along
almost strictly party lines 49-46,
would have meant an estimated
one and one fourth billion dollars
increase in purchasing power for
the great mass of Americans at a
time when additional purchasing
power is most necessary if the
year-long slump in the nations
economy is to be slowed or ended.
On an individual basis, it would
have meant an increase in take
home pay for the average 4O-hour
week worker of approximate
four cents an hour.
When a similar amendment was
considered in the House several
weeks ago, Cong. Metcalf voted to
increase exemptions by 500, while
Cong. D'Ewart voted for retention
of the present $500 personal tax
exemption.

TIMBER Takes Issue With
Chaffin On SiIicosis
Initiatives Failure

Failure of the Montana Fedora
ton of Labor sponsored Silicosis mi
tiative measure to qualify for the
November ballot was not due to the
lack of interest or desire of the peo-
pie of Montana to provide care and
treatment for industrially disabled
workmen," James S. TIMBER, Fed
Grafton President, said in Helena this
week.
"The President of the Montana
Economic Council failed to state that
his organization had many paid en-
ployees in the field working feverishly
soaring, people into signing with
drawal petitions" TIMBER stated.
"The taxpayers are not anxious to
pay the cost of caring for the indus
trially diseased workers via the well
fare program, but the corporations
will not give them the democratic
right to ballot on the question, nor
will the Legislature recognize the in
justice to the taxpayer and the work
man and his dependents.
"The welfare of the people is Sec
ondary to that of big business.
"Forty-five states have occupa-
tional disease coverage in their Work
mems Compensation statutes, yet in
dustry operates at a profit in those
states.
Montana labor has no desire to
harm its employers. All we want is
fair and humane treatment for our
disabled workmen and their families"
TIMBER concluded.

MetcaIf, D'EWart, Both
Oppose Lowered Support
Prices, In House Vote

Both Montana congressman, Lee
Metcalf and Wesley D'Ewart, last
Friday went on record in opposition
to reducing basic commodity price
price supports from 80 per cent to
.821a to so per cent.
Metcalf, who has introduced bill
to bring about 100 per cent parity,
has been a consistent advocate of
legislation to protect the farmer and
rural America generally against the
disastrous drop in income which
would come about under the Eisen-
hower-Farm Bureau flexible support
program. In so doing, Metcalf has
pointed to the fact that every dollar
of farm income results in the crea-
ton of approximately seven dollars
national income, because agriculture
is a basic industry.
D-Ewart, in opposing the flexible
support program, told the House
Montana wheat farmers have already
taken 20 per cent cut in income this
year because of acreage reductions,
and are slated for another II per
cent should they vote for further
acreage controls July %, as an alter
native to even more drastic income
reductions that would come about
if thirds of the voting wheat

On the 1866 crop. D'Ewart also said
hat "the farmers and businessmen
IF my state have indicated over
that they think 80 per
cent support of wheat is necessary
'or another year, and l believe it
s necessary if we are to prevent
great harm to the economy of Mon
Jana" in summing up his opposition
to flexible supports.

r. u. Central Exchange
Retires S796, 900 Patronage
Refund Stock

Following its practice of returning
savings to the local coop affiliates,
the Board of Directors of the Farm
ers Union Central Exchange author
lied the immediate cash retirement
of $4,000 of patronage refund
stock. This is 500 of the stock issued
in 1916 and raises the total patronage
stock retired to $4,643,0O0 since the
business was Incorporated.
Over 500 local affiliated companies
in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana and
Wyoming will share in the refund.
Notices have been sent to the par
ticipating companies and it is ex-
pected that all checks will be mailed
by July Is.
This latest retirement follows
by only a few months the record
patronage stock recall in 1858.
Over 100000 was retired in
that year when all of the 1914 and
1945 patronage stock was retired.
In announcing the latest retire
ment, E. A. Syftestad, general mana
ger of the Central Exchange, said,
eve feel that this is an excellent
record. And it is practice that can
be continued as long as farmer-own-
ers support the Farmers Union Cen
trail Exchange through their local
affiliated co-operatives."
Syftestad also stated that the OPP
erations for the 6-month period show
substantial increase in both dollar
volume and net savings over the same
period in 1853.
