most of the nations high schools
opening their doors this month
many parents with boys and girls
in high school will be faced with
the problem of deciding whether
they should allow their children
to "go steady" or whether thew
should try to get their teen-agers
to date different boys and girls.
A United States Poll survey
just completed throws light on
how adult citizens across the ma
ton feel OF the matter.
Results of the survey show that
a solid majority of all those cues
toned do not think it is a good
idea for t~een-agers to "go steady"
and think it would be better if
they dated different boys and
girls.
AT the same time, about one in
every six adults questioned say
they favor the idea of having
boys and girls in high school ego
steady"
In other words, those who are
Of the opinion that students in
high school should date different
boys and girls outnumber by a
margin of better than 4 to l those
who think that high school stu
dents should be allowed to ego

To determine the public's atti-
tude on the matter, Poll reporters
put this question to a representa-
tive c-ross-section of the American
public:
do you think boys and girls
in high school should be allow
ed to ego steady or should they
date different boys and girls?"

girls in high school should not
Ego steady"
These groups include men and
women, and residents of all city
sizes, sections of the country, age
groups, and educational levels.
Despite this majority sentiment,
there are a number of interest
ing differences of opinion among
the various groups.
For example, women are more
opposed to "going steady" than
are men. Just about four out of
every five women interviewed
say they think that teen-agers
should date different boys and
girls; whereas only three out of
every five men share this opinion.

Tension Fills Air At
MSFL Convention

| Ballots are distributed to local
unions from the state headquarters
in Helena before the first of June
and balloting takes place during that
month. Locals then send the ballots
back to the state office where they
remain, unopened, until the conven-
ton. At that time canvassing com
mittee comprised of delegates from
Central Labor bodies meets and
counts the ballots.
The contest for president and vice
president in the Federation, like con-
tests of similar nature in any other
group, was over who would control
the $4,000 member organization, and
was not unusual in that respect.
This years contest for president
between James S. TIMBER, incumbent,
and Perry Melton started with battle
as to whether Melton, who has been
out of the state for several years
could, under the Federation Consti-
tuition, be on the ballot and the battle
never abated.
The campaign momentum cllmaxed
in the apprehension evident through
the convention as anxious delegates
paced before the closed canvassing
committee door or sat in grim silence
over a bottle of beer few yards
away.

Gas Utilities Take You, Coming and Going
Two Monopoies Control Both
Producer and Consumer Prices

Attorney General Arnold H. Olsen,
speaking before the Rotary Club of
Lewistown, Monday, discussed the
problem of getting full market value
for natural gas from school lands.
Under legislative enactment" Oh
sen said, "the state cannot receive
more than 121zao royalty (royalty is
the landowners share in production
of gas paid him by the lessee.)
"The state is further handicapped
inasmuch as the only market for
natural gas is the Montana-Dakota
Utilities Company and the Montana
Power Company. In Montana, these
two utilities have been determining
both the producers price and the
retail price.
These companies are paying the
State of Montana only sc per thou
sand cubic feet Of gas. The national
average is 12c per thousand cubic
feet. Thus, the State Land Board has
the problem of negotiating with these
utility companies to determine how
much will be paid for the states share

leases.

agreement between Talbot and Paul
Mulligan which has been the subject
of so much publicity in recent days.

In it's letter to Senator Kilgore
the union pointed out that Brownell
acted Thursday, July %, Gin viola

eminent official in an attempt to

Brownell's action was identified
as his announcement to the press that
he had cited Mine-Mill before the

under 1854 law.
"The Attorney General is known
to have had long and close asso-
citation with Roger w. Strauss,
chairman of the board of American

STRAUSS was chief financial hacker
of the Republican National Com

"AS&R is one of the Big -Four in

paid the state for its gas-121a%o
of SC or a mills per 1000 cubic
feet-these utility companies resell
to domestic users for at least Soc
per thousand. Obviously, these
utilities shouldn't be permitted to
determine the price at the gas field
and at the consumer outlet too.
''In other places in the United
States, the field price is determined
by sliding scale dependent upon the
consumer price. This is probably the
fairest way for the state to be paid
for its royalty gas. BY this method, the
state will participate in the benefits
of rate increases enjoyed by the pub
lie utilities"
Olsen also said that while Montana
is receiving the cheapest terms in
the world for its oil leases, the oil
industry has recently increased the
already highest gasoline prices in the
nation to its Montana consumer.
1T is very sad for Montana's
economy that while the state is re-
stricted to the cheapest prices for
its oil land, the states citizens must
pay the highest price for the oil
industry's production"
