Thursday evening, May IL, at

The stirring motion picture was

The story of Communism versus

Lenin spoke of all Communists as
dead men on furlough." Com

Bob Pierce portrays himself in
this f%actual, dramatic story, which
IS unique because of a heroic Ko-

In the five years from Febrr-

number of old age assistance ben.
etlclarles on the rolls of the Mon

dropped from 1857 to 9,252.
w. j. Fouse, administrator of
the department, attributes this TO
three general causes: The parental

economic conditions, and the fac{
that more persons are now draw
ing pensions under the federal
social security system and other

Comparing February tbis voo,

Arnold Olsen is a reputed candi-

young Democrat would be a for
middle contender. In political
acumen he is probably unsurpass-
ed IN Montana. He is something
OF a genius in coming up with
issues which, at the moment AT
least, are popular. His problem is
to keep these issues alive through
the 1856 campaign. The oil and
gas lease controversy is one of
these issues.

Helena - In the state oil anC
gas lease law controversy, the
members of the state board o.
land commissioners have been act
ing like kids who should be SEM
to bed without supper. To people
out around Montana who are I'M
familiar with the manipulations
and strategems of state capitol pol
ltIcS this mess is undoubtedly be-
coming more bewildering by the
day. My own reaction is one of
increasing disgust.
1 will not belabor you with 2
blow-by-blow account of what has
happened since the state board of
Iand commissioners, with Gov. j.
Hugo Aronson alone dissenting
flrSt refused to lease state oil and
gas lands under the provisions of
the 1888 act. Resulting litigation
proceeded from the Lewis and
Clark district court, through the
montana supreme court, and then
TO the supreme court of the Unit
cd States, which unanimously held
mat the law was not inconsistent
with the enabling act through
which Montana was admitted to
the Union in 1889.
But now, with Attorney Gener-
al Arnold Olsen as chief spokes-
man for the three members of the
land board who disagree with
Governor Aronson, it is e-ontended
That the law is contrary to the
Montana constitution because the
state would not recover the full
value OF the oil and gas extracted.
with Olsen on that side of the ar
gument are Mary NJ. Condor. state
superintendent of public instruc-
tIon, and Secretary of State Sam
w. Mitchell. j
The governors position is that. !
n view of the u. S. supreme court !

1913 legislature to repeal the 1858 !
act the board should issue !
eases under the 1858 law. The +
