The convention will see recog-
milton of coop achievements.
James Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, and
NJ. W. Thatcher, general mana
ger of the Farmers Union Grain
terminal Association, both re-
nowned leaders in agriculture,
will head the list of able speak
ers.
Patton comes to the cOnven-
ton following a trip abroad
where he participated in the In
ternational Food and Agricultur-
al Producers worldwide meeting
and was elected vice president
of the organization representing
100000 farm families of the
free world. Too much food and
too much hunger are strange
problems besetting mankind,
and the NFU leader will have
an inspiring message of hope.
Things are stirring on the
grain front at GTA and Thatcher
armed with an historic GTA
farm operating costs survey will
likely have much to say about
farm legislative needs. The
Thatcher talk, scheduled for 8
p. m, Oct. 20, will be broadcast
on a statewide radio network
originating with KMOS, Great
Falls.

Montana's Capitol Building in Grave Danger

Helena - Legislators and state
officials Monday learned it will
cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900 to recondition the Capt.
tol here to modern public build
ing standards. They also were in
formed that if the work is to be
done in the foreseeable future it
probably will mean an additional
annual tax of l mill on all prop
erty in the state to retire a bond
issue of 100000 or more. John
ii. Morrison, of the Helena con-
sulting engineering firm of Nor
rison-Maierle, Inc, warned that
reconstruction of the existing
statehouSe will cost approximate
ly as much as it would be to
erect a completely new structure
If a building site were available
adjacent to the other buildings
on the Capitol grounds. Such a
site is not available except at
enormous cost 1t is generally
agreed that reconditioning of the
present StatehouSe is the only
answer. To those who think the
matter can wait, Edmund p.
Burke, Los Angeles, consulting
engineer with many years of ex-
perience in construction and re-
modelling of buildings in zones
subject to earthquake stresses,
pointed out the Montana capitol
would be subject to condemna-
ton as unsafe for occupancy if
it were located in any of the
California cities which lie in
zones of seismic activity similar
to those which already have been
recorded in Helena. The pres
ent Helena city building code
would not permit erection of the
capitol if a permit we're sought
now.
~ amazes me that this
statehouse has held together

1885" Burke told members of
the State Board Of Examiners

tee who were called TO Helena

No Help for Lond|ess
Indians on Hill 81

Great Falls, Hill 81 - The De-

Hill 81 Indian problem here as

Sen. Mike Mansfield.
Mansfield visited the Indian
community here last week and
conferred with local residents on
the problem of the Indians.
Earlier a congressional commit
tee visited the community to
study problems there.

Wool Prices Set For
New 1856 Season

The shorn wool incentive price
for the 1856 marketing year will
be 81 cents per pound, grease
basis, the same as the price cur
rently in effect, Leo. S. Kolstad,
State Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation administrative
officer, has announced. The
1856 wool marketing year begins
April l, 1856.
The 1856 wool incentive price
will be equivalent to approx
mately LOG per cent of the Aug.
Is, 1855 parity price for wool.
The Act sets the top incentive
level at ITO per cent of parity
and makes 70 per cent of the
tariff receipts from wool avaly-
able for financing the incentive
of the tariff receipts from wool
available for financing the incen-
tive and support payments.
AS under the current program,
the Department of Agriculture
will make payments under the
1856 program to producers of
shorn wool on a percentage of
each producers cash return
from wool sales rather than at a
flat cents-per-pound rate, Kali
stad explained This is to en-
courage each producer to try to
get the best possible price for
his wool in the market, because
the size of his incentive pay
ment will depend on the net
amount he gets in selling his
wool. This is also an incentive
to produce high quality wool,
and to shear and market the
wool in the way that will best
meet market demand.
Pulled wool payments under
the 1856 program will be made
on the marketings of live lambs
and sheep. The rate of payment
will be certain number of cents
per hundred pounds, liveweight,
of animals sold and will be de-
termined after the price re-
ceived for shorn wool by all
producers during the marketing
year is known.
Although wool production de-
clined slightly this year as COM
pared with last (estimoted pro-
duction of 228 million pounds
last year., Department officials
feel it is too early as yet to ap-
praise the full effect of the pres
ent incentive level on domestic
wool production. Therefore, no
change in the incentive level
was proposed for the next mar
keting year.

the Indians on the same basis
as non-Indians," the letter said.
The points were attributed to a
report by Paul Fickinger. Bill
lings, area director for the Bur
eau of Indian Affairs.
In a letter to the department
the Montana delegation said
Fickinger in his testimony be-
fore the joint congressional
committees said the only way the
Indian service could take juris-
diction over the Landless In
dams is by congressional action.
The Montana Democrats con-
tended that when they moved to
give the Indian Service such
action, the department returned
an unfavorablc report which re-
suited in killing the proposal
Mansfield, Murray and Met
calf in the letter summed up
the departments position as
saying lit cannot help the Hill

not given it specific authority
Yet when Congress acts to give

COUNTY PLANS TO
TAKE TAX DEEDS

The Glacier County Board of
Commissioners have directed the
County Clerk to start Tax Deed
Proceedings against those indi-
viduals who have let their Coun-
ty taxes on real estate become
delinquent
The law permits three year
delinquency and any property
with taxes over the three year
period is subject to being taken
for taxes by either the County
or any other individual
Tax Deed proceedings are
lengthy and costly and a genuine
savings in time and money can
be made for the County if prop
erty owners would pay their de-
linquent taxes. Every oppor-
tunity will be given individuals
owing delinquent taxes to re
deem. However, the County
Clerks office advises that no
tees to individuals will be
mailed sometime during October
and that continuous program
will be in effect from then on to
keep delinquent taxes up to date
II should be pointed out that any
delinquent year can be paid,
thereby affording the taxpayer
the opportunity to always keep
any delinquency within the three
year period.
Anyone owing elinqu en t
taxes should contact either the

Clerk regarding payment of
