the White House Conference" on
Education.
Megel, a delegate to the con
ference, said Marion B. Folsom,
Secretary of Health, Education
and Welfare, has indicated that
the administration will offer an
expansion OF the president S
school plan OF the last session
which included $500 million for
grants in aid and 5000 million
for loans. 49,
Megel reiterated loans are not
the answer to the school Crisis;
that amy school district that
would be able to borrow from
the federal government would
be able to do so locally The
White House Conference rec
ommendation was a clear cut
mandate he said, that the A
merican people want the FEEDER
al Government to provide finan-
cial aid and not loans to its
schools" In support of this po-
sition he cited that Sen, Pat
Mcnamara, d. Mich.) has an
nounced he will introduce bill
that would provide that the fed
eral government invest 81 bill
lion a year in schools for the
next ten years.
Megel said he felt the White
House Conference which swung
two to one for federal aid for
school construction meant grant
in aid, not loans, and that the

aid for such. things as teacher S

Whether there is merit to the
complaint that agricultural and
livestock SURPRISES from the Deer
Lodge state prison farms 60 into
commercial competition with pri-
vate growers is for the legislature
or the state board Of examiners to
determine. 1t should be determin-
ed also whether this complaint is
inspired in any degree by the
apparent feeling of some farmers
and ranchers of the Deer Lodge
valley that the state should get
out Of the business of growing
produce for its institutions.
This question has come up at
the present session of the legisla-
ture in connection with the pur-
chase by the state Of a farm for
the prison at Deer Lodge. One
way or another this matter has
been coming up for a decade that
1 know of. Then years ago I was in
close contact with this situation,
and although this probably never
got into the official record, I
happen to know that some of
the growers in the Deer Lodge
valley considered the state insti-
tutions in the valley to be by
right their "private pasture"
1t is not the intention of exist
ing law to permit prison farm pro-
duce to go beyond supplying needs
of state institutions, and l do not
see how there could be legitimate
objection to that. But the tax
payers of Montana, who have to
pay the bill, might well plead
that their interests r served
by state farm production of food
and feed.
I remember efforts that were
made to discourage the prison
from building up a beef herd.
Building up that herd was an ex-
ample of astute foresight and good
management. Certainly there is
something to be said for making
the prison self supporting within
reason. And now when again the
complaint is made that the prison
is competing with private grow
ers, competent inquiry should be

from the capitol. Not infrequently
the wall about lobbyists has come
from elements who themselves
have been as guilty as anyone
else.
The right to lobby is based in
the right of the citizen to petit
ton his lawmakers. This is some
times abused, but I feel that in
the main our legislators welcome
the information and the point of
view of those who appear in sup
port of our opposition to proposed
legislation.
Pleading ones case before leg
islative committee is an extern
sion of lobbying, for it is here
that the pros and cons are devel-
oped as a means of assisting the
lawmakers in reaching decisions.
It is in committees that the funda-
mental work of the legislature is
done.

HOW FORT CONNAH WAS NAMED
from the ST. Isnatus Post-Ronan Pioneer Anniversary Edition.
When the Hudson's Bay Company in 1847 sent Angus Macdonald
to take charge of its "saleesh House in the Flathead Country" as it
was known to the company, he renamed it Fort connah.
Upon arriving, he said to a man named Finley: "This reminds me
Of Scotland and the river Connen, only these mountains are much
higher and more beautiful I believe we will call this Fort Connen."
Finley had trouble pronomcing the word and called it "Connah."
you can't say it, huh?" Macdonald remarked. "Wen that's close
enough, Wen call it Fort Connah'."
That was the beginning OF a new era in the Flathead Long after
England relinquished claim to the region, Macdonald remained. The
Flathead became his adopted home. His defendants are many and
well known. His wife was of the Nez Perez tribe. He was born in
1912 and died in 1889.

senators have joined in asking
that U. S. highway No. 2 be in
Guided in the interstate highway
system. On several occasions in
this column I have emphasized
the significance of this proposal.
Under federal law provision Is
made for an interstate highway
system of 10000 miles, of which
approximately $1,000 miles have
been designated. The memorial.
which it is expected that other
states will also adopt, asks that
highway No. 2, from Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich, to Seattle, Wash..-
about 2,l78 miles - be embraced
in the system.
Interstate highways under this
designation are military highways
and r built to standards neces-
Sary to support heavy military
equipment. u. S. highway No. 2,
across northern Montana near the
Canadian border, is of consider
able military Importance. Alone
or near this route are air force
and radar installations that fiji
into a definite military pattern
Inclusion of highway No. 2 in
the interstate system would be Oh
further advantage to Montana in
that for this purpose the u. S
government puts up a higher ra-
ito of money for construction
than for other federal aid high
ways. A program now in the max
ing suggests that under the mex
federal highway fund ALLEGATION
law the interstate system match
ing ratio may require only from
5 to IS percent of matching mon.
ey. As highway No. 2 extend.
nearly 700 miles across Montana
it is obvious that on a fedora
matching basis it would be an ex.
ceedingly good deal for Montana
Under Senate Joint Memoria
3, present interstate highways il
Montana would not be affected
They are U. S. 10 across the
