Phoenix Jewish community
has licked the jim x" by
reaching the 100000 mark in
the current CJA drive, the

late Hyman Kivel, a Phoenix
recluse, who lived in semi
poverty. Hoffman will donate
a 10-acre plot of land for the

The Battle Of the Big Horn

The Battle of the Big Horn still RACES.
1T started more than 40 years ago when
an organization was formed in Billings
to promote dam, power plant and irri-
cation project at the mouth of the Big
Horn Canyon on the Crow Indian Reser-
walton. The Crows have always bitterly
opposed construction on their lands of
this dam, now called Yellowtail Dam,
and still dc. There are a number of
misguided persons that imagine they
have right to trespass on Indiau
lands, condemn or confiscate the dam
and reservoir site, and pay the Indians
whatever amount they themselves de-
eide is adequate compensation. Nothing
could be farther from the truth The
Indians are monarchs on their own
domain, their home is their castle, they
are opposed to parting with their lands
and money is no inducement
The Crow Nation is the Oldest sover-
eign nation in the western hemisphere
and has been in continuous possession
of it's lands since before the discovery
of America by Christopher Columbus
nearly 500 years ago. 1t is on this basis
that they may demand a seat and vote
in the United Nations. They have never,
by treaty with the United States or
otherwise, relinguished jurisdiction
over their own lands and have no in
tention of doing so. Acquiring title by
conquest is frowned on by the United
Nations.
There are those do coolers" and
"busybodies" who, in their frenzy to
get something for nothing, and to gain
cheap notoriety or political preferment,
strive and work for what they call
welfare of the community" at the
expense of the already staggering tax
payer and other sections of our society.
No community in Montana will be bene-
fitted by the construction of Yellow
tail Dam, and three thousand five hun
dred Indians would be previously
wronged and injured by it. Here Is why:
At the hearing held March 23rd, 1865,
at Washington, d. c., on the subject of
Yellowtail Dam before the Senatorial
Sub Committee on Irrigation and Recla-
nation, responsible officials of the Bu-
reau of Reclamation testified that 1t
was not planned to market Yellowtail
Dam power in Montana. The reason CIV
en- is simple. Rates established by the
Bureau for power marketed in Montana
from Government power plants is SIS
ills per XVIII regardless of cost. Rates
for power south of the Mon
tana- Wyoming boundary is Us mills
per XVIII, or $3.50 higher With trans |
mission line already at the south end |
of the Big Horn Canyon, naturally |
Wyoming and Colorado gets the juice. |
These are facts that are of public record |
and are not debatable.-E. j. PARK
INSON, Great Falls.

Editor Peoples Voice."
Dear Sir.

Editor Peoples Voice."
Dear Sir:
Article by Gretchen Billings of Sep
TENDER entitled What Kind of Edu-
cation Do We Want For 5000 Mon
tana Children" contains many state
ments and quotations that should not
go unchallenged. (Due to the word
limit on letters to you some of them
will go unchallenged here, however)
1 wonder what Qualifications" Bill
lings has to put out so much authora-
tive CD material on Montana educa-
ton. Passing on the necessity of
"Mary's" trips and the competency of
teachers in the state is no small order!
D. d. Cooper Is Executive Secretary
of M.E.A., but L assure you that many
of his remarks do not receive the APP
prevail of the majority of the members.
d ID. Cooper and the State Department
of Public Instruction attempted to have
training standards of teachers raised
by the last Legislative Assembly-the
bill was voted down, which should be
good enough until the next Assembly.
However, Mr.. Cooper chooses to term
teachers with less than two years of
college as incompetent and unquali-
fled" | wish that some of the "compe-
tent and qualified" teachers were as
good teachers as many of those excel
lent, devoted teachers who fall into Mr..
Cooper's incompetent and unquali-
fled" classification. few credits of
college work doesn't necessarily mean
a better teacher, d. d.
Cooper is quoted as saying that the
raising of standards will increase sala-
ries and the number of qualified teach
ers available. How 90 newspaper COR
respondent can print such foolishness
is certainly amazing. / am sure it is
unnecessary to point out the utter
foolishness of this statement. Mr..
Cooper is certainly entitled to his opin-
ion, but / wish it would be stated as
that and not as factual information.
The salary of teachers is lower than
it should be, but we will never solve
it by raising standards for certifica-
tion or raising the ME.A. salary sched-

There seems no possible meeting of

their Unsuitable appetite for ever
greater profits.
From reading rne 1851 amendment
there is no question in this Editors
mind that there is a ceiling" on
royalties the State may receive on
the first 5000 barrels per month. For
the sake of Montanas children (and
all taxpayers) l sincerely hope that
amendment is yoided once it reaches
the State Supreme Court. The royalty
ture states that royalty Shall be 12h
per centum on gas, and 12k per
centum on that portion of the average
production of oil or casing head gaso-
line for each producing well not ex-
ceeding 5000 barrels for the calendar
month" Doesn't that seem very plain
. that there is definitely ceiling
of 1914 per cent on the first 5000
barrels per month? The 12k per cent
