Editor, Peoples Voice:
| am glad to see that Farmers Union
News has come out with the Voting
Record of our Hired Men in Helena.
Something must be done to wake up
the Hill Billy Countries, so that they
can see that Montana can't be built
by supporting the ACM and Montana
Power Co.
No wonder we have not as many
people in the whole state as the city
of Minneapolis, MINI. You should take
two or three counties in every issue
of the Voice and give them a good
Writeup and then get in touch with
the most progressive people in the
counties and get them to place one of
the Voice in the hands of every voter
in the county. [ am proud of Hill coun-
ty, where [ used to live. But [ am
ashamed of this county (FIathead) the
way the voters act The Hired Men
that are sent to Helena from here are
no good, and have got to be replaced

Gently. 800 of parity was promised
by both political presidential candi-
dates. President Eisenhower's prom

as the golden promise" At the 1862

that were perhaps the deciding fac
tor in his landslide election.

parity" has become political issue.
1t is confusing to the farmers who
supported 900 parity.
Price support is now called the
brain child of the left wing. The same
900 of parity that built and main
tained small business prosperity in
farming communities at an unprece-
dented level in recent years, mind
you; the same 900 of parity that if
abolished will curtail, cripple and or
eliminate small businesses in farm
ing. communities; the same 900 of
parity that has built the foundation
for the Towering of the free enter
prise and profit system in rural
America.
900 of parity has little bearing
on the cooperative movement as
such. Figures prove that the cooper
ative is more important to the farm
ers in times of stress than in times
oil prosperity.
But the small businessmen in rural
communities are concerned about de-
creasing income. Their chances of
staying in business are obviously be-
coming acute. No farm income-no
business-no free enterprise-no
profit-just bankruptcy. Price sup
ports for farm products put them
where they are-what is their an
swer? The farmer could survive with
out the small business man, but the
small business man can not survive
without the farmer. They have a com
mon interest however in the survival
Of the most democratic portion of our
national ecOnomy-small farmer

ness or small town that plans on sur
viving under an economy of corpora
ton farms better draw a new plan.
The elimination of the small farm
can only result in corporation farm
ing. 1t is a good question to ask if
it is wise or good for the nation eco
nomically, socially or politically, to
do away with the small farmer and
his small business associate.

MSU Editorial Shocking,
Says Missoula Attorney

L read with great interest the edi-
torlal in your issue of May Z, 1854,
concerning DR.. Carl Mcfarland, Presi-
dent of Montana State University
1t appears to me that your editorial
attempts to convey the idea that DR..
Mcfarland is not doing a good Job
as President of the University; if that
be true, [ think it would be well for
you to get at least some of the facts
before coming to any conclusions on
the subject.
DR.. Carl Mcfarland, in my opinion, is
doing outstanding work as President
of the University of Montana [ might
add that it appears to me that during
the time he has been the head of this
institution he has accomplished far
more than any of his predecessors in
the same period of time.
To say the very least, I was greatly
shocked by your editorial. Yours very
truly.-GEORGE f. HIGGINS, Mis-
soula.

He felt there was a game in
the hand. but he was taking no
chance of his partner passing
prematurely. His two-diamond
bid was forcing for one round.
as is any bid in a new suit by a
responder who has not previously
bid one no-trump or passed.
Note that when his partner
jumped to three hearts he bid
four hearts-not three no-trump.
This is typical of Mr.. Dale's
style. Obviously Mr.. Masters
thought hearts represented a
better spot than no-trump, as
he had passed up several
chances to bid no-trump. Mr..
Dale was willing to go along
with that view.
The problem Of play in this
hand is one which battles many
players. The king of diamonds
was led and won by dummy's
ace. Now the contract will be
easy if the hearts are divided
three-three or if the queen is
in Mrs. Keen's hand, not over
four long.
There is a strong temptation
to take a trump flnesse at once.
But see what happens If that
action is taken. Mr.. Champion
wins with the queen Of hearts
and leads a good diamond. Mr..
Masters ruffs and tries to pick
up the rest of the trumps.
He can do so, but that leaves
him devoid of trumps. too. To
get his tenth trick he must go
after the clubs, and when Mr..
Champion is in with the queen
of that suit, he can cash enough
diamonds to defeat the contract.
Mr.. Masters realized the
danger of being forced with
diamond leads. Sensibly. he
considered the fact that he was
not trying to make f1ve-odd or
six-odd. He could afford to
lose two trump tricks-if he lost
them at the right time.
Beginning at trick two he
cashed the ace and king OF
hearts. Then he led the ace.

Mr.. Champion was in on the
third club and returned the
queen of diamonds.
But time was now in Mr..
Masters favor. He ruffed and
led q good club. Mr.. Champion
ruffed that with the nine OF
hearts and led another diamond.
Mr.. Masters ruffed with his next
to-last trump and fired another
good club. Mr.. Champion could
take his queen of hearts any
time he chose, but that was his
sides last trick.
