Passengers from Sidney board
ing the initial flight included Nels
Bach, Jim Turner, Axel Nelson,
Jack Knoop, Glayde Yoder, Ed

then Frontier has carried some
1900 passengers from Sidney.
In a prepared statement Don

Sales Manager for this region
took a good look at the past,
present and future by saying,
"Air transportation was readily
accepted and is now relied upon
for the moving of people and
freight in the normal course of
business. Frontier is now plan
ming route extensions to the south
and east to such points as Omaha
and Minneapolis. This service is
included in the Seven States
Case now under way. Frontier
has also applied for a route into
Regina that would link together
all of the Williston Basin cities

Boyle continues, "In anticipa-
ion of these and other new
routes Frontier has recently pur-
Fairchild DIS h j D s

n 1858. The new plane is much
'aster and has greatly improved
passenger comfort. The prop jet
ranks this airplane as the
most modern available for any
lirplane.
Frontier has enjoyed serving
he people of Sidney this past
wo years and is looking forward
o many more years of mutual
,rowth," Boyle concluded.

TV Planned for
Home for Aged

The Rich1and County Home
makers Council had its fall meet
ing Thursday, Sept. 10, and the
council decided to try to raise
enough money throughout Rich
land county to purchase two
television sets and antennae for
the County Home for the Aged.
There is so little that the folks
out there can do for recreation
that it is felt that TV will be
a big boon toward keeping them
happy and contented.
There is not a room large
enough for all the people to
watch at the same time so it
is hoped that two sets may be
purchased, one for the ladies'
floor and one for the mems floor.
All organized groups and o
cieties will be contacted by let
ter with the hope that a house
to house canvas will not be nee
eSsary. All individuals wishing to
make a personal donation toward
this worthy cause may do SO by
contracting Mrs. Glen Hartman,
treasurer of the council or one of
the members of the committee,
Mrs. Roy Hansen, chairman, Mrs.
Sterling Swigart, Mrs. John Wal
burn or Mrs. Joe Gartner.
Here's hoping that everyone
will get out and back this prof.
ect SO we can make TV for the
Old Folks Home a reality as
as possible.

Aronson Discusses
Election Issues Here

ernor Aronson pointed out now
he was stopped from leasing
school lands by the Democratic
members of the land board until
the Supreme Court of the United
States, by a unanimous decision,
held that the act the Governor
was seeking to follow was consti-
tutional and that there was no
merit to the opinion of Attorney
General Olson which the land
board was using as the basis for
their action. He emphasized the
fact that it is idle talk to say
the schools have lost no money
on bonus payments for oil leases
because the oil is still in the
ground" Oil in the ground is of
no value, except as a reserve for
the oil companies. AS a result of
Olson's and Condon's actions the
oil companies now have been
able to establish the location of
the oil land without payment for
leases on wild cat acreage. "The
millions of dollars lost in the
leasing of school lands" he said,
Twill come out of the pockets of
the citizens of this state.
"Mr. Olson, when he tells you
the present law limits the state
from securing more than 12h%
oil royalty, without saying this
applies only to the first 5000
barrels produced from a well in
each month, and that there is
no limit on the royalty which
can be agreed upon in state
leases for production over that
amount, is trying to develop new
issues to cover up his record. He
fails to tell you the law he is
now criticizing your governor for
to follow was passed by
the legislature in 1851 when John
Bonner was governor and Arnold
Olson was attorney general"
Law Provides School Lands
Royalty Payments UP TO 2s%
Governor Aronson also point
ed out that present leases on
lands, as written under
the terms of this law, provide for
payments to the schools
Of the state up to $50, depend
ent upon the rate of production.
Business Ahead
OF Politics
Aronson pointed out how he
had put business ahead of poll
tics in all of his administration,
including the handling of the
state prison, the state institutions
in general, and the highway pro-
gram of the state. He said the
proves that we are now
getting bigger and better roads
quilt for less money per mile
han when he went into office.
None of this can be accom-
,lished, Aronson said, without
he cooperation of both Republic
ans and Democrats who are will
ing to put good government
lhead of politics. He said that
lie appreciates the support many
Democrats have given him in the
,ast and earnestly seeks their
Import in the future.
Following the meeting all those
resent we're given an oppor-
unity to meet Governor Aron-
personally, while a lunch
vas being served by the Re-
ublican Women's Club.

Farm Situation

Senator Estes Kefauver flew in
from North Dakota at about moor
today to give one of the major
Democratic campaign addresses in
which he stressed the plight OF
agriculture under the Republican
administration and pledged loo
percent parity with a change to
a Democratic administration in

stand and bleachers packed with
an overflow attendance.
Left Erickson, state Democratic
chairman, introduced by c. r.
Theissen, chairman of the Mon
tana Kefauver committee, presid-
ed, introducing the various county
and state Democratic candidates.
Arnold Olson, Democratic can
didate for Governor, spoke briefly
and presented Mr.. Kefauver. Fol-
lowing is a compilation of excerpts
of his address:
One of the proudest boasts of the
Republicans when they held their
convention in San Francisco was thai
they had maintained a stable dollar.
They boast that they had kept the
cost of living from rising.
OF course. when they finally re-
leased the August cost of living fig
ures a week later - they showed
that the cost of living had gone up
to a new all time high.
And 1t would have been even high
er except for one thing. 1t has beer
the policy of this administration to,
CELEBRATE or otherwise. debate farm
prices. And this e e n
initiation of prices in every other
segment of living costs.
Prices of clothing. gas and cleo
trIc1ty, household goods, t~ransporta-
ton, General Motors cars and other
industrial products - everything tina
people buy except food = has been
climbing steadily while the team in
Washington beamed happily - and
Secretary of Agriculture Benson gave
the II Wringer another turn to
squeeze some nor out OF farm prices
The Associated Press reported last
February that a 5 per cent decline
in food prices. r~eflecting a rs pei
prevented h ost of living in
dex moving up past the record sci
in October. 1855"
Last year. for the first time In
American history. a single corpora
ton has profits of more than 81
billion. This was General Motors. with
profits of SIS billion before taxes
and 81 .189, 900 900 after taxes. The ne
income of farmers that year wa,
down SIS billion from their 1852 ne
income.
There, in a nutshell, Is what tn,
team has accomplished. Income from
corporation dividends has gone VI
80 per cent since four years ago. In
come from interest has gone up 4
per cent. But the net income q
farmers has dropped n per cent unde,
four years ago.
The deflatton of the farmers has
been as deliberate as the staging on
the Republican convention in San
Francisco, where only one man Gre
ated any bobble. That was a fellow
named Joe Smith.
In 1858, Secretary Benson was very
honest about it. He proclaimed that
lower prices were the route 10 SAL
