Ny "Two-Bits Worth"

In reply to Professor Freeman'S
comment on my attitude toward offer
ing constructive criticism (Which only
tend to prolong the life of the capitalist
economy L wish to say first that I
agree perfectly with his opinion that
Capitalism in America is much more
likely to be transformed than to be
tumbled down. A study of the evolu-
tionary process of economics over the
years must indicate that conclusion to
even the most casual student.
However, L learned in the early
thirties. that the vast mass of our Thu
man race" must perforce learn the
lesson the hard way. This sad fact
was first brought home to me during
the legislative session of 1881. The ere
cession" was then only in it's early
stages but the evidence of worse to
come was to be seen by the thoughtful
person on every hand. I repeatedly
called these indications to the atten-
ton of the House with celebrations
to prepare for more serious depression
but only succeeded in making myself
obnoxious as a prophet of gloom and
DOOM.
At the convention of the Montana
Federation of Labor held that year a
resolution was adopted asking Governor
Erickson to call a special session of
the legislature to deal with the prob
lem, and by repeated letters to the
Governor he at last decided to make
Swing around the state" to view
the situation. At his meeting in Round
up the concensus of opinion was that
the localities could handle their local
problems. At this meeting I was again
very much in the minority when I as
serted that this problem was entirely to
big to be handled locally and would
require the attention of the state and
in all probability of the federal gov
eminent before a solution was REACHED.
Events of the next few years proved
the accuracy of my prediction but much
time was lost and much suffering en-
dured while the public was learning
it "the hard way"
Fortunately, with the advent of the
Roosevelt New Deal" an attempt was
made to adopt measures which, had
they been administered by people who
were in sympathy with the programs
and the purposes which they were
meant to serve, would have done much
to advance our economic progress and
prevent the recurrence of such calam-
ity. Unfortunately, whether by accident
or design I do not know, the heads OF
almost every one of these programs
were people who were either ignorant
of, or entirely out of sympathy with the
purpose and possibilities of the pro-
grams.
There were many of us who could
and did see the great possibilities
opened up by these programs and did
our utmost to awaken the public to
them but more of that for later issue.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G.. BILLINGS

can say is the Legion gyped me.
Do you know what I think?
| think it is quite good pro-America
propaganda.
I didn't feel like shooting corpora
ton bosses when it was over.
The "Salt of the Earth" showed
how Mexican American workers
through determination won a purely
American battle of unionism.
True, they had to do it against a
corporate mining company. True, the
picture was union propaganda, but
it is difficult for me to see how it
can be called un-American propa-
ganda.
1t had human appeal, humor and
the triumph of the dignity of the
individual.
It is true the bosses and the sheriff
and his men were the williams, but
[ am sure union history proves that
the pioneers in unionism in this
country have faced more evil pres
sures than were portrayed in 'Salt
of the EARTH, in their life and death
struggles to gain and/or maintain
better standards of living and work
ing conditions.
I think all person has to bear in
mind when he sees this film is that it
is union propaganda film.
think it would be good to show in
oppressed areas of the world. What
woman, who still maintains second
class status, wouldn't delight at see
ing men have to wash clothes and
keep house under unsanitary condi-
tions while his wife found she too
was a person and could fight for the
betterment of her family and throw
off the antidated attitude of ''wo-
mans place"
There aren't many places but
America where "Salt of the Earth"
could be filmed as true story, boy.
1t was a great satisfaction to have
the information volunteered to us as
to the status of the Catholic Church
attitude on the film because the re-
ligious sincerity of the Mexican
Americans was evident in the film.
But then I should know better
than to let the Legion upset me about
these things because they have even
chased Girl Scouts.
There's nothing quite like being
associated with an Independent publ
cation like the VOICE. 1t has deep
satisfactions as we'll as discourag-
ments and then there are the mo-
ments of undetermined value when
you meet someone in the Capitol who
passes YOU with a lift of the hat and
an expression on a par with one they
would use in passing any over aged
cadaver.
Have been trying to get one of
our regular visitors to the office to
do a summary on the election returns,
but being one of the idle rich he
won't bulge. However, he pointed
out a thing or two of interest. For
instance in Richland County Leroy
Anderson received 1910 votes and
Orvin Flare received 1,670 votes.
In Silver Bow County Murray re-
seiyed more votes than Metcalf, but
Metcalf received larger majority
than Murray. Try that on your piano.
If there had been one and one
half vote difference in each precinct
in the eastern district Anderson could
have been elected and by virtue OF
the same figuring D'Ewart could
have beaten Murray.
Had Leroy Anderson received the
same votes as Murray in the Eastern
district he would have beaten Flare
oy 800 votes.

has scrubbed down her obser-

through business school, so
she's equipped to be a Secre-

plans for a career. Whatever
she decides on, we hope it will
be in Washington. She's a nice
person to have around.
Whatever our diplomats
thought they gained at the re-
cent Caracas Conference, they
really lost their shirts. This
is not the sort of thing they
will admit openly, but it's abb
solutely true and you can check
it with their wives to prove it.
Midst all the dreSSy parties
and the magnificent clothes
and jewels sported by the oil
rich Venezuelan women. the
delegates from other countries
ran smack into a crucial laun-
dry problem. If there is
anything less glamorous than
laundry can't think Of
it at the moment. but
it sure is essential. And it be-
came more and more essential
each day the conference pro-
crossed. It seems that the
brand-new hotel that housed
the delegates had barely opened
it's doors and still hadn't ironed
out all its service problems.
