Food Was Very Simple
But it was not very luxurious living The
Galilean peasant ate bread, milk products,
fruit and vegetables and, naturally. fish.
Water was the usual drink; wine was re-
served for feasts and there was also a sort
of beer called sicera which was brewed
from fruit and grain.
1t is probable that Jesus was sometimes
guest at feasts, like that of Cana, where
the Orentals made a great display, and
also at funeral celebrations at which only
lentilS were eaten because of the rabbinical
saying that "as the lentil hath no seed-lobeS
the afflicted hath no words"
The impression we get from the Gospel
story is one OF great simplicity of life with
needs reduced to a minimum not SO much
for lack of money as for deliberate frugality
and remuneration

But many of the most esteemed doctors of
the Jews were in fact humble people, often
working with their hands, though masters
of that which the Jews considered the

Appealed to Natural Law
Nothing that we read about the boyhood
of Jesus suggests that His studies were
prolonged. We notice that He makes fire.

ancient prophecies and to those ideas which
were familiar to the religious mind of the
time He is sufficiently skilled in the dialec-
tic of the PhariseeS to counter their attacks,
but He never sets Himself up as a scribe or
a doctor of the Law; when He confounds
them it is as a rule by the appeal to COM
mon sense and to His new law" which was
in many cases simply reversion to
natural law.
The most striking quality of His mind
is tireless curiosity; to complete under
standing He brings a natural wisdom which
owes nothing to formal study. His utter
ances are unique and unmistakable. 1t is
in them that We draw nearest to what we
can hardly venture to call the secret of His
genius because the word relates to purely
mortal things, but to that divine ulumina-

He Lived Among the Humble Folk.
But He Was Yet Clothed in Liqht
BY DANIEL-R

1t is obvious as we read the Gospels that
Jesus was a plain man, and that He lived
among the humble folk, from whom His dis
cipleS were drawn, as one of themselves,
eating the same food wearing the same
clothes, apparently no different from others
of His race and kind.
It is not, however, historically accurate

affected are contract construction of
buildings, highways, bridges, dams
and other outdoor facilities, also log
ging and numbering, railroad main
tenance, food processing, and agri-
cultural activities.
In terms of total non-farm employ
ment the winter dip from September
to February ranged from $4,000 to
$4,000 in recent years. Last winter
the decline measured 1920, accen-
tuated by employment decreases re-
sulting from the work stoppage in
metals.
The corresponding recovery, Feb
ruary to August, this year was 20,800,
to reach the highest total employ
ment figure in the history of the
state. That measure of recovery has
been exceeded only once, in 1850,
when employment rose $4,000 from
February to August. In other recent
years the recovery margin was 1920
in 1851, 20,700 in 1862, and 5000
in 1868.

Seasonal aspects of the present en-

The current estimates are 9,100

while there is a legal QUESTIONABLE
hanging over the FPC's decision. A
MICA spokesman predicted that the
Federal Court of Appeals decision
would not come before next August
Even if MICA loses its case in the
Court of Appals, which he considers
unlikely, the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court. That would tie-up
the dams in the courts for another
six months, past the elections IN
1866.
Additionally, there is optimism on
Capitol Hill that the second session
of the 84th Congress will pass legis-
lation overriding the FPC's decision.
The question then arises whether or
not President Eisenhower would veto
such a bill.
In the meantime, Idaho Power
Company allegedly does not have
enough money to construct any
more than access roads to the dam
site and other incidental prelimi-
nary Investigations before Initial
ing construction.
7. E. Roach, Idaho Power presi-
dent, reported recently that he had
ordered $13.6 million worth of gem
Grating switchboard equipment from
General Electric and estinghouse.
MICA, however, pointed out that
there have been no contracts signed
and that Idaho Power is merely get
ting on the priority list, anticipating
the time they can raise the money
to begin construction.
FPC's decision awarding the Hells
Canyon stretch of the Snake to Idaho
Power requires that Idaho Power be-
gin construction on the Brownlee
Dam within year and on the Oxbow
Dam Within four years. MICA has
charged that Idaho will never meet
the headlines.
Moreover, the power company has

ton stage and will soon be submitted
MICA has charged that Idaho
Power does not intend to build the
Little Hells Canyon Dam. To sub
stantiate this they point out that
the power company has applied
for tax write-off subsidies for
Brownlee and Oxbow but not for
the Little Hells Canyon.
NEW "GIVEAWAY" ENERGIES
Meantime, "new Hells Canyon
giveaway" has emerged that threatens
to overshadow the first Hells Can
yon. The Pacific Northwest Power
Company, a combine of four area
power companies, has proposed to
construct two professionalism

stream from the Hells Canyon site
on the Snake.

Nez PIERCE project, proposed in the
Army Corps of Engineers 308 report
for comprehensive development of
the Snake, just as Idaho Powers
three small dams block the construc-
ton of high dam at Hells Canyon,
it is charged
MICA and the National Rural
Electric Cooperative Association
have protested the power companies
proposal to the FPC. The Northwest
Public Power Association later joined
MICA in filing a petition to inter
Gene with FPC.
The intervenors contend that the
power company proposal is inferior.
The Nez Perez project would produce
twice as much power, considerably
more flood control and other Incl
dental benefits, they pointed out.
The interv'enors demand that FPC
conduct full hearings on the power
company proposal, investigating the
relative benefits of Mountain Sheep
and Pleasant Valley as compared to
Nez Perez.
The intervenors also denounced
the power company combine as a
corporate octopus" that would
violate state and federal regula-
ton, and ultimately become an
economic and political ruling
force over the electricity business
of the Pacific Northwest.

The problems of the schools remain
much the same as they were last
year and have been for some time
according to the panel. There are
too many children for the number
of buildings and the number of
teachers. The five important matters
under discussion in the area of schools
are, more school buildings, organiza-
ton of school districts, finding teach
ers, what the school shall accomplish
and how education shall be finance l.
THREE NEEDS OF TEACHERS
On the teacher level their needs
were expressed as more money, more
freedom and more responsibility.
Teachers generally seem to feel that
their financial status is in the pro-
cess of being improved, but in Mon
tana too many teachers are still go
ing to areas of higher pay. They want
intellectual freedom and responsible
ity in professional life. They want
freedom to choose the tools and
methods to be used in doing their
job. They do not want text books
thrown out, and they want TO be
able to stand their ground in con-
troversy and discussion of these ques-
tions. Teachers will welcome criti-
cism, but they will not take abuse
without being able to be heard. They
feel they must be able to take stand
on problems that affect the schools
They want to be able to deal with
school boards through teacher organi-
cations and be able to move out with
their ideas through such organiza-
tions by expressing representative
ideas TO school boards and commune
ties.
Teachers live in areas that involve
the school, the home and the family,
the school and politics, the school
and government and the school and
the social order, and there must be
understanding of the relationship by
not only the teachers but the parents
and the students if education is to |
be conducted in an atmosphere that |
brings about the results we wish to |
accomplish. There must be unity be-
tween teachers and labor for the /
benefit of both.

The drift toward militarism is not
to meet the military crisis, but to
create the military mind, because ex-
perience proved that American boys
were more apt to let themselves be
killed than kill when they face the
enemy, he said.
He pointed out that according to
U. S. News, Nov. IL issue, the mill
tary is the biggest business in the
country, in a business civilization.
Rev. Randall does not believe our
124, 100000 dollars of military can
save US from any military crisis, and
that to make the country and the
world strong we must first think of

heard anything can be accomplished.

tute, were handled by j. M. Peter

with morality, ethics and religion and
there must develop philosophy of
taxation and a philosophy of govern
ment along with an expenditure of |
taxes that will mean ething to the |
common man. These things must be |
related to democracy and our fell |

WE'VE BEEN CLOBBERED
BY MCKAY

Lee Metcalf, western district con

loss to the nation in the give-away of
large water storage and river control
sites by the present administration,
which are most important parts of
development of the Columbia River.

He pointed out Montana Power
has an application that will do the
same to the proposed Paradise DAM
Metcalf said, "People are suffer-
ing from Benson and Humphrey, but
the man that is really clobbering US
is Secretary Mckay"
Low cost power brought industry
into Montana, according to the con-
gresham, and he pointed out pri
vate power development in the west
costs $37.7O per kilowatt year and
public power costs $19.25.
He said the people substitute the
private power companies by fast tax
write-offs, and as an example he
used the Idaho Power Company dam
at the Hells Canyon site. He said
the Idaho Power Company dam will
cost 1O3, 100000 dollars. They will
get fast tax write-offs that will, over
the life of that certificate amortized
over 50-year period, amount to a
160,000,000 dollar subsidy from the
federal government.
If we continue the partnership pro-
gram we will lose storage, recrea-
ton, power and industry, Metcalf
said, but we may still have an oppor-
tunity to save Hells Canyon and we
must continue to struggle to save

Criminal Charges Filed
ANTITRUST CHARGE
AGAINST SAFEWAY
DISMISSED

The Attorney General of the Unit
ed States Tuesday asked the Federal
Court in Fort Worth to dismiss the
antitrust suit against Safeway The
same charges were then included in
criminal and civil actions filed by
government attorneys.
Last July Safeway and two of its
officials were indicted by a federal
grand jury at Fort Worth, Texas,
Safeway officials contend the indict-
ment was returned without Safeway
having an opportunity to present evil
dence to the jury or to give the jury
a true picture of its operations or the
competitive pricing practices and
situations that prevailed
Safeway later asked the court to
dismiss the Indictment on various
grounds which included the exclusion
of women from the grand jury re-
turning the Indictment and the dis
qualification of a number of the
grand jurors including the foreman
due to their failure to pay their poll
taxes.
Government attorneys, after ask
ing dismissal of the Indictment be-
cause of its doubtful validity, filed a
criminal action and a civil action
containing similar charges against
Safeway and it's responsible officials.

People are willing to spend money
for government, he said, they believe
in good schools, better roads, better
institutions and other humanitarian
work designated as the province of
government, therefore we must re-
late the tax program to the kind of
philosophy we are interested in.
The sales tax violates every ear
mark of a good tax, according to Mr..
Peterson. 1t is regressive because it
bears unduly on those with small in
come. 1t is hidden because it doesn't
give the people full knowledge of how
much they pay and what it is to be
used for. When people see in a lump
sum the amount of taxes they pay
they exert more influence on the
government. There are business men
who recognize that a sales tax is
dangerous because it will destroy
purchasing power.
In Montana where property taxes
amount to 60% of the revenue it was
natural the discussion would center
around the merits of property taxes
and the sources of revenue to more
equally distribute the tax burden.

The FPC accepted Idaho Powers
contention that its new construction
design-rockfilled dams with i'm.
pervious clay cores-would be st-
perior to the initially proposed con-
struction design-roclfilled dams
with concrete facings which FPC
had approved, eliminating the two
wear hearing. There had been some
hope that FPC would reopen the
celebrated Hells Canyon hearings to
take new testimony on the relative
merits or dement's of the new con-
struction design. FPC did not conduct
further hearings.
Meantime, it was learned that the
National Hells Canyon Association
will appeal the FPC's August de-
cision, favoring Idaho Power, and
FPC's subsequent denial of new
hearing. The appeal case will be pre-
sented to the U. S. Court of Appeals
within the next two weeks.
MICA will ask the Court of APP
peals to overrule the '.giveaway" of
the vast potential of the middle
stretch of the Snake River to the
Idaho Power Company for partial de-
velopment. MICA and rural electric
systems support comprehensive, over
all development of the Snakes po-
tential, which, they say, will benefit
the entire country.
IPCo. SHORT ON RISK CAPITAL
Taking the Hells Canyon case to
the Court of Appeals throws new
light on Idaho Powers plans for early
construction, in view of NHCA's con-
tentions that Idaho Power does not
have the financial resources to con-
struct the three dams. According to
Idaho Powers own estimates, con-
struction of the three dams will cost
1921 million. MICA contends that
Idaho Power has less than So million
in surplus funds, consequently the re-
mainder of the risk capital would
have to be raised by issuing revenue
bonds.
MICA points out that it would be
virtually impossible for Idaho Power
to raise the necessary risk capital
