| According to a recent newspaper
story, Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son has abandoned the idea that de-
pressions are farm-led and farm-fed
and that our National economy rests
upon a sound and prosperous agri-
culture.
He called this idea "a tail wagging
the dog theory"
Instead, Mr.. Benson said. it is
much more logical to say that if the
country generally is enjoying a high
level of prosperity the farmer has a
better chance of being prosperous,
too.
For the first time in history, we
have Secretary of Agriculture who
IS not defending the interest of agri-
culture. The voice of Secretary of
Commerce Weeks is the voice of big
business, saying that if big business
is prosperous, we prosper as a nation.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell speaks
out for labor. He would keep us eco
nomlcally sound by increasing the
minimum wage, for example. But
ONSA Sb0A VI AS11CulluI6 D6USOn
speaks against that important seq
ment of our economy which he pre-
represents in the Cabinet.
Mr.. Benson speaks for a decrease in
agriculture's minimum wage. He saws
if business and labor gets theirs, agri-
culture, "the TAIL" will follow along.
In addition to being reminiscent
of another recent unfortunate ref
erence to- dogs, Mr.. Benson's state
ment reminds me of campaign state
ments by Candidate Eisenhower at:
Brookings, S. D.: "The Republican
oarty is pledged to the sustaining of |
he so per cent parity price support
md it is pledged even more than that
o helping the farmer obtain his full
'arity, 100 per cent parity, with the
in the price supports of

Kasson, Mimi: Gas provided in the
republican platform, the nonperish-
bic crops so important to the diversi-
led farmer-crops such as oats, bar
ey, rye, and soybeans-should be
iven the same protection as avail
bic to the major cash crops"
When these words were uttered,
re were supporting basic farm COM I
oddities at 80 per cent of parity. {
ince then, this Administration and &

HOUSE REVERSES
ITSELF ON FARM
PARITY MEMORIAL.

By a 1888 vote for House Me
mortal 8, Montana's House of Repre-
sentatives have advised the Congress
of the United States that the people
of this state expect the national leg
islature to take whatever steps are
necessary to assure the American
farmer of parity with other econmoic
groups in the nation.
Speaking briefly on HIM 8 Rep.
Tango (Roosevelt) the only Republi-
can voting for the memorial, told
the House: ''I'm getting old. can
retire anytime. But, I'm thinking
about these young fellows, those
young war veterans. They're going
to have a rough time on so per cent
of parity. Therefore, vote faye.
Rep. Schumacher Cd Phillips),
called attention to the fact that Mon
tana's principal source of income is
agriculture, and he told his colleagues
that there's no use beating around
the BUSH, Montana, in order to be
prosperous luuSJ nave q prosperous
agriculture, otherwise, he asked
"where are you going to shake out
the dollars" so necessary to sustain
business in Montana.
HIM 8 was introduced by Rep. Nc
Innis (D-Judith Basin), Michels Cd
Hess (D-Hill), Anderson
(D-Cascade), Goodgame (D-Lincoln)
Cerovski (D-Fergus), Tango (R-
and Holtz (D-Cascade).
(Last weeks VOICE reported HIM
2 killed by a narrow margin Thursday
night on a standing vote, and due
largely to four Butte Democrats and |
Regain of Cascade voting against the
memorial. Shortly thereafter, Speaker
Leo Graybill got hold of head ACM
Lobbyist Bob Corette and read him
he "riot act'. Whether or not the
Iraybill- Corette exchange had any
hing to do with it, the five-Cun-
bingham, Loughran, Mountain, Tobin

va$ taken Friday that they weren't
gainst parity for farmers, afterall.

SOCIAL SECURITY BOOKLET FOR
FARMERS NOW AVAILABLE

for each taxable year ending after
1854 in which his net earnings from
self-employment are $500 or more.
If the farm operator reports his in
come tax on calendar year basis,
his first report and payment of self
employment tax will be made for the
calendar year 1855, and will be due
not later than April Is, 1856.
If a farm. operator has worker
to whom he expects to pay at least
500 in cash wages during 1866, he
is advised in the booklet to keep a
record of the name, social security
account number, and the amount of
wages paid to the worker. The farm
employer, moreover, is told that he
should deduct two per cent social Sc
curity tax from all cash wages paid
to each employee. AS the employer,
he must contribute an equal amount.
report the wages, and pay the total
social security tax of four per cent
to the District Director of Internal
Revenue.
The booklet includes an applica-
ton form which employers of farm
workers may send to the District Di-
rector in order to obtain further in
tax return forms, and an
employers identification number.

She Wants to Mix
T0p-Cfeam Economy

BEMIDJU, Minn.-(PAI)-Folks
around here are still talking about
the economic lectures given by
colorful Congresswoman Coya
knutson, recently elected to her
first term.
She usually has two bottles of
milk with her. One has the cream
and milk separated. The other is
homogenized. Pointing to the first
bottle she says: "This is the way
our economy is now-alI the cream
is on top" Then she points to the
second bottle: This is the way |
want it, homogenized!

FARM GROUPS OPPOSED
TO UNIT

At its year-end national convention
in New York City, the American
Farm Bureau Federation reaffirmed
its opposition to universal military
training. So did the National Grange
at its convention in Spokane, Wash
ington, month earlier. The National
Farmers Union is also on record
against UNIT.
Farm sentiment has been over
opposed to UNIT in any
form. This was demonstrated during
the last session of Congress when let
tiers, resolutions, and petitions poured
in from farm people. The rural
churches, as well as women and youth
groups, were particularly active in
their opposition to UNIT. So vigorous
was the campaign against UNIT that
even the most reluctant top officials
of farm organizations and congress
men considered it inexpedient to sup
port UNIT legislation.
While the 3rd Congress showed no
hesitation in enacting a long list of
unpopular measures, the strong OPP
position of rural and urban families
20 UNIT was too much even for it.
Now that the election is over, how
ever, the proponents of INFLAMMATION
ire preparing for another trial, dis
cuising their latest measure as a
fair-to-youth' and "non-UMT" plan.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-02-25

objected only to the Administration s
claim that military manpower can
be cut. Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga.)
who will become chairman of the
House Armed Services Committee,
said, II am deeply disturbed as to
whether this will mean too great a
reduction in our arms strength"
DEMOCRATS OPPOSE
REDUCTION
Another Democratic spokesman,
Sen. Estes Kefauver (Tenn.) who is
a member of the Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committee said he doubted"
that "the cuts could be justified.
He was also quoted as disagreeing
with the view "that chances for peace
had improved"
Not a single Democratic spokesman
has as yet come forward to challenge
the Wilson plan as disguised form
of UNIT. During the recent election,
many of the Democrats thought it
unfair when Eisenhower accused
them of being "the war party" but
now that the elections are over their
sensitivity seems to have become
dulled.
The Administration has already in
licated that it will put its full weight |
behind campaign to get its new
UNIT plan enacted by Congress. Car
er L. Burgess, Assistant Secretary
# Defense and chief author of the
lew plan, said that "early hearings"
AVE already been promised. As he
made plain, the tactic of the Admins
ration will be to deny that it is
ither a UNIT plan or even a "modi-
led UNIT plan"

10 SWeeten the UNI pill, Defense
Secretary Wilson covered it up with
announcements of big cut-backs in
manpower requirements. "Eisenhow-
er Plans to Cut the Army; Wilson to
Detail Program-He Concurs in Man
power Reduction" declared New
York Times headlines on December
16.
RESERVES TO BE INCREASED
Two days later, however, after Viii
son released details of his plan, the
N. Y. Herald Tribune headlined it:
~. S. to Raise Reserve to Mil
lion :. - Dec. IS.
On the one hand, the new plan is
served up as a reduction, and on the
other hand, as an increase.
At his Pentagon press conference
on Dec. 20, Wilson was quoted by
newsmen as saying that 'tthe Presi-
dent had ordered the accelerated re
auctions of the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps because of the dimin-
ishing threat of war"
DULLES CONTRADICTS WILSON
The very next day, however, Sec
rotary of State Dulles issued a state
ment upon his return from the NATO
meeting in Paris and said of the war
threat that it 'has not diminished"
State Department spokesman pro-
fessed to see no contradiction be-
tween statements of Wilson and
Dulles. The press officer for the
State Department, Henry Suydam, !,
told reporters he thought "a careful
examination of what was said' would !
show that Dulles and Wilson "were
saying the same thing in different )
ways" Perhaps, in diplomatic Ian
guage, this means "doubletalk." r
Under the newly proposed UNIT ]
plan, the draft would continue, but
draftees, z to 10 years of age, would i
be required to serve only six months +
active duty if they voluntarily" il
serves for nine and half years there a
after. The alternative, as at present, j,
would be two years active service F
as draftees and six years reserve duty. a
NO CUT IN ARMY SIZE
In spite of all the publicity given W
Wilson's remarks about cut-backs IN +
there is nothing in the Il
new plan that reduces the size of the t.
active forces in the Army or other II
of the armed services. 1t is q
he size of the active forces that de- G.
the volume of draft calls. tt
Hence, the new UNIT plan cannot W
'e said of itself to provide any as e'
urance that draft calls will be di- Of
ninished. m
The N. Y. Herald Tribune said of pr
PLAN
In fact, for most boys, the only he
difference between the present re- III
serve program and the new one is pc
that the new one will force them to
to serve actively in the reserves N
after they leave the Army, where ev
the present one doesn't. Dec. Fl. ar
