COP "Prosperity" Hasn't Blessed Montana

tional average of $1,727. In 1856, how
ever, NEWS figures show that Mon
tana's per capita income has fallen
far behind the national average. Mon
tana's now stands at $1,799. The ma
tional average has scared to $1,915.
Because industrial wages are higher
in Montana in 1856 than they were in
1852, the state has not experienced
as great an economic setback as some
neighboring states which are almost
solely dependent on agriculture for the
maintenance of their economy. But for
higher industrial wages negotiated via
collective bargaining, the 500 million
drop in Montana's annual farm and
livestock income the last four years,
would be taking an even more drastic
toll of the states economy than the
depressed conditions now being ex-
perienced in more than forty of Mon
tana's Sc counties.
Outside of such counties as Silver
Bow, Yellowstone, Cascade and few
other industrial and trade centers, the
Republican prosperity chant is a
hollow theme indeed.

The average per capita income of
Montana people, it is true, has climbed
