Some time ago we wrote a
series of articles on the insur-
ance business and pointed out
the fantastic profits that hold
ers Of life insurance stocks had
made since the founding of the
industry some 70 years ago. .
AThe series of articles was per-
laps more widely read than any
other series ever carried by this
newspaper. Requests for more
than 100 copies of the article
were received and it has been
reprinted in other newspapers
III many Southern States.
Several businessmen in this
area bought life insurance
stocks. AS far as we know, all
those who held stocks prior TO
e articles appearance were
making money on them and as
far as we know those who in
vested at that time are earning
profits now. II there is any cx-

More insurance is being sold
IMAM ever before. Fastastic pro-
fits are still being made.
Like every other stock. the
insurance stock too may take a
tumble. 1t is undoubtedly pric-
d unusually high. There could
we'll be some fortunes lost if the
bottom fell out. But we still
cling 10 the belief that those
persons looking for stock spec
'ulations, can find very few SAT-
Ter bets than insurance company
stocks. II is our belief that when
declines become precipitous in
life insurance stocks, similar
declines will be manifested by
Idll others, and the man on the

rant funds exceed the cash in
such funds.
The report indicates that the
net bonded indebtedness for all
counties dropped from $2,864, 900
on June 80, 1854 to $2,4l0,309
on June 80, 1855.
Silver Bow county taxpayers
labored under the heaviest bond
ed debt, $683,850. Next largest
net bonded debt was ascribed to
Flathead county where the total
was $242.44 Surplus warrant
cash credited to all counties,
$5,688, 900, was more than double
the total net debt, it was stated.
Yellowstone county had the
largest net cash balance in the
four principal warrant funds. Its
surplus OF STU, 900 represented
one-seventh of the state total of
$5,688,000 for all counties. The
report gave special credit to Mus
selshell County which has reduced
its 1928 bonded debt of $1,000, 900
to only $4,000, a sum exceeded
by surplus cash in the four war
rant funds.

REPUBLICANS REALIZE
FARM PLIGHT

There are growing indications
that high Republicans, even those
who have supported Secretary OF
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, are
beginning to realize that the farm
situation is serious one.
Although there are some ad-
visers in the Republican govern
ment who believe that the con-
tinuing squeeze on farmers is not
too serious, and not likely to
cause of severe recession, the num-
Der of these opinions is steadily
decreasing. On the other hand,
the Department of Agriculture
was recently reported to be seri-
ously considering new proposal
which would limit the amount of
money the Government could
use to support prices for any one
farmer.
Another new proposal, put for
ward by Senator Kerr Scott, of
North Carolina, Democrat,
would limit the number of acres
on which the Government would
extend a high level of parity
price support. This proposal en-
visioned a staggered schedule of
support prices, ranging from 100
per cent for the first few acres,
on down to sixty per cent for
huge acreages. Each farmer
would get the same support lev
ell for his first five or ten acres,
or some specific number, a slight
ly lesser level of support for the
next SO many acres, and so on.
Chances seem to be improving,
as a result of new proposals, and
growing pressure on the Eisen-
hover Administration, that a
farm program will be presented
to Congress in January which
will include radical changes. The
new program could include Sec
retary Benson's ideas about a
soil bank and might include these

JANUARY, 1856

January, the first month of the
year, gets its name from Latin,
and the Latin word, Januarius.
The Latin word Is derived from
the name of Roman god, Janus.
Anglo-Saxons, in the old days,
yid not use the word January, but
called the first month Wulfmon-
attn, because of the fact that the
wolves left the forests and en-
tered the villages In search of
food during the month of Janu-
ary.
Some of the most famous men
in the history of the United States
were born in January. Franklin
d. Roosevelt, the 32nd President
of the United States was born on
January 30th, 1882; James C.
Blaine, who was at one time the
most popular political leader in
the country, was born at Browns
vile, Pa, January 31st, 1880.
Thomas Paine, one of the coun-
try's greatest thinkers, was born
in England, on January 20, 1887.
Emanuel Swedenborg, great
mystic and religious thinker, was
born in Stockholm, Sweden, jan
uary 20. 1858. Robert Burns, the
The Sidney herald., 1956-01-05

In addition to limit in the
amount of money the Government
could spend supporting prices for
any one farmer.
If the Democrats pass a bill
which would follow the Scott
recommendations, it may be that
President Eisenhower would sign
it. 1t is not too far removed, in
spirit, from other proposals, some
of which have been endorsed by
the Republicans.
The major significance of re-
cent developments in Washington,
concerning the farm problem is
that everyone now seems to be
moving to correct this situation.
1t has taken some officials sew
eral years to realize that the pres
ent farm program is not doing
the job needed and, as far as we
are concerned, we have long be-
lieved that a farm recession
would be the forerunner of a
general recession. If the Republi-
cans want to prevent that, they
must see to it that the farmer is
not permitted to be reduced to
almost desperate economic cir

MONTANA PEOPLE
MORE SELF-RELIANT

Montana people aged IS and
over are more self-reliant and
do a better job of meeting their
own financial needs without help
from public funds than people in
other states, the Montana Tax
payers Association said today.
Basing its conclusions on fig
ures reported by the Federal So
cial Security Administration, the
taxpayer group said that in Mon
tana 434 persons in every 1000
over the age of 65 were receiv-
ing payments from public funds
under the old age assistance pro-
gram or under the so-called old
age and survivors insurance pro-
gram. In the nation generally
$50 persons in every 1000 over SIS
received payments from public
funds under these programs dur
ing February 1855, the period
chosen for the study.
The report said that the Mon
tana ratio was less than in the
neighboring states of Colorado,
Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming. Wyoming ranked
next lowest to Montana with 451
persons in each 1000 in the IS
and over age group receiving
public welfare or social security
checks. In Colorado, where a sub
stantial portion of sales tax rev.
enue is earmarked for old age
assistance whether needed or not,
the ratio of those receiving pay
ments from public funds is 500
in each 700 persons IS and over.
The Taxpayer Association said
that social security payments are
made to those who become eligi-
