Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-04-30
Saxbe Endorsed
By Bob Taft, Jr.


nounced his support of William B,
Saxbe for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States senator and
at the same time, the Cincinnati
Times-Star, of which Taft is a di-
rector, endorsed the candidacy OF
Representative George Bender,
Saxbe's opponent.
Taft is a son of the late U. S.
Senator Robert A. Taft and is a
COP candidate for the State Sen
ate. The Saxbe-Bender contest is
to select the Republican nominee
to fill out the unexpired term OF
Robert Taft, Sr.
Saxbe, Ohio House speaker, said
the endorsement was significant
because Bender in the campaign
has tried to cloak himself in the
Taft mantle"
Representative Bender is the
Cuyahoga County COP chairman.
The late senator, Saxbe said,
cant speak for himself, but his
son has spoken for him."
Young Taft, a candidate for the
State Legislature, issued a state
ment in Cincinnati that Saxbe cir
culated at a news conference in
Columbus. The statement read in
part: Early in the campaign I
advised both candidates of my in
tention to vote for William Saxbe.
That is still my intention"

A Communist is a guy who
would use free speech to de-
stroy free speech and thus,
once again, they'll kill the
goose that laid the golden egg.
HuMMN!
Everybody complains about
paying his taxes but we all
give the Devil his due without
a whimper.
KIDS
See by the papers that a
church in Australia has built
"bawr' room-a soundproot
addition where mothers with
bowling kids may retire dur
ing services. Now this would
be a nice thing to have IN
America-on second thought 1t
might be better to just send
the little rascals to Austraha!
TRUTH

TEST
They say that you can't put
a square peg in round hole
but we had a kid in school
who could do it. He was much
bigger and stronger than the
rest of us.
FUTURE
Don't worry about the
Younger generation learning
the value of money-after all,
they'll soon get the hang of it
once they start paying off our
debts.
YOUTH
They say that you're only
Young once. We used to doubt
that this statement was true
but after attending a recent
square dance, we feel that
there may be some truth in
the assertion.

STATISTIC
A statistic which leaves one
in wonderment is the fact that
one out of every four persons

we as yet have been unable to
determine what it is.
COFFEE
Price of coffee continues its
upward trend. Some restaur-

like tea. Matter of fact, there
are some places where the
only way you can tell the diff

Herewith is the text of Chapman's
statement in support of farm price
program will ensure a continued
high level of prosperity for Montana
farmers, small businessmen, and the
public in general:
Montana farmers are deeply con-
cerned by statement issued by the
state Chamber of Commerce June
Ia. This statement condemned the
present farm program price supports
and favored the so-called flexible
price support plan.
"The State Chamber is completely
in error in stating that high fixed
support prices are to the disadvan-
tage of the majority of Montana
farmers. Farm commodity prices are
not fixed but are adjusted periodi-
cally by use of parity formula
which represents a fair exchange
value for farm commodities compared
to prices of commodities which farm
ers must buy. These support prices
are now set at 900 of parity of
fair exchange value prices. 1919 less
than fair exchange price can not
be considered high by any stretch of
the imagination.
1.-THE Farmers Union is firmly con-
WINGED that to insure a stable econ
omy in our country all farmer pro-
ducers must be assured of their fair
share of the national income by sup
porting all farm commodities at
prices assuring full parity to the
producer. One school of thought con-
tends that the so-called flexible par
ity formula will tend to reduce pro-
duction. History of agricultural pro
duction and market prices proves the
reverse is true.

Union, Montana Mine-Mill and
various Independent groups
Both the Silicosis and Legisla-
tive pay initiatives, in addition
to needing 21,104 signatures, must
receive eight per cent or more of the
total vote for Governor in the 1852
election, in each of % counties.
The Legislative pay initiative
would increase the per diem received
by legislators from $40 to $25 per
day. Labor and Farmers Union have
long contended that increased legisla-
tive pay is necessary first step if
the long-standing corporation con-
troll of the legislative assembly is
to be minimized or broken. With the
high cost of living and the expense
of often having to maintain two
homes, membership in the legislature
by and large is restricted to only
those of independent means or whose
salaries continue while performing
legislative service. Hourly wage
earners, younger businessmen and
farmers with families, under the pres
ent $40 scale find it financially i'm
possible to serve their state in
legislative capacity.
Placing of the Silicosis initiative
on the ballot for the people to de-
eide whether industrial disease should
be covered by Workmen' compensa-
ton, as it is in As of the other AZ
states, is also of great Importance

Helena Labor Assembly
Opposes Increased Tax
On Liquor

Opposition to the proposed four
per cent tax increase on liquor to
finance a Korean veterans bonus
was voted Monday night by Helena
Trades & Labor Assembly. The ac-
ton was taken in connection with a
resolution submitted by the Bar
tenders state council, which among
other things, pointed up declining
employment in the retail liquor bust
ness and that additional taxation on
liquor would further reduce retail
liquor sales, and thus increase I'M
employment among union Bartenders.
Copies of the two initiative pc
titions being sponsored by Mon
tana State Federation of Labor in
order to increase legislative pay,
and make Silicosis and other indus
trial diseases compensate under
Workmen's Compensation were
read and discussed, and assembly
President Henry Hoffman urged
all delegates to push the obtaining
of signatures on the two petitions.
Retail Clerks Union Delegate Yula
Cochran reported the clerks were
having considerable difficulty in ne
gotiating satisfactory wage increase
with Sam D. GOA, Jr., representa-
tive of the Helena Employers Asso-
citation. The clerks have not had
wage increase in two years, in spite
of the greatly increased cost of liv-
ing during that period.

Five State and Federal

Park County Trades & Labor Coun
ell at a recent meeting endorsed five
candidates for state and federal of

of the council
Park labor joined with other ALL
Clio and Rail Brotherhoods in sup
port of Senator James E. Murray,
Cong. Lee Metcalf, and Second Dis
trict Congressional aspirant Pondera
Senator Leroy Anderson. In addi-
ton, the council also asked labor to
back Associate Justice R. V. Bot
tomly for reelection, and William
Pilgeram for nomination and cleo
ton to the Railroad and Public Serv-
ice Commission.
In making the endorsements, the
Park resolution calls attention to the
fact that the council had checked the
records of various candidates, and
that support for the five were based
upon those records.
Council Secretary William J. Priest
was instructed to transmit copies
of the resolution to various state la
Dor groups and the press.

mines and smelters-is costing the
taxpayers of Montana in excess of
100000 per biennium. In some

a single Silicotic, the pro-rata tax
burden for Silicosis benefits runs
into the thousands of dollars.

priation, Metcalf told the Congress,
it was necessary for FDA to abol-
ish 81 positions-36 of whom were
professional employees, inspectors,
analysts, doctors, etc.
Herewith in full is Metcalf's ap-
peal in behalf of restoring the pro-
jected 100000 slash in the FDA
appropriation:
Last year this Congress cut the
appropriation for the Food and Drug
Administration and saved less than
half cent apiece to American tax
payers-a saving that has curtailed
the inspection work which FDA can
do and thereby increased our risk of
eating filth.
''In the words of the FDA Commits
sioner the work of his agency was,
prior to the cut, already inadequate
in fields relating directly to health.
For example, under it's fiscal 1858 ap-
preparation, Food and Drug could as
sign only 20 inspectors to the grain
trade. approximately l billion bush
els of wheat are moved in a typical

Montana sheep ranches have typi-

Thus, annual machinery depreciation
