Dollar Drops To New Low
As Living Costs Hit New High

The value of our insurance, our
government bonds, our Social Secur-
ity benefits and the money in our
rocket is at an all-time low due TO
the fact that the cost of living is at
a record high. Despite promise after
promise-both direct and indirect
bv General Eisenhower during his
1852 campaign for the presidency
that he would lower living costs, these
costs reached a new high in mid-July,
the latest date for which figures are
available. And many economists pre-
dict that they will go even higher this
fall.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics re-
ported living costs rose OF per cent
between June and July to a new rec
ord II per cent above the 1947-49
average, on which the Bureaus fig
ures are based. In other words, you
have to pay SIT more for the same
goods and services that cost you 800
in those years. Not since the early
days of the Korean War has the cost
of living risen as much as it did
between May and June and again
between June and July. - COPE

Suez-Tempest In A Teapot

Dear Editor:
We are having a-tempest-in-a-teap
about the Suez canal controversy. There
is tendency to make an international
issue where none exists. 1t is less COM
plicated than is the Panama: No locks
nor sliding mountain of sand which
makes the latter more costly to keep
open. Tt is more of a traffic problem
than engineering technique, simply to
keep the traffic moving, so as not to
create bottleneck and snarl up the
big number of ships using the canal
Egypt is quite capable to direct the
traffic, but the fees collected and the
prestige that goes with it is the hub
of-the- problem. No ship, unless it would
be a Forrestal, too big for the canal
are going to take the route around
Africa to avoid paying the canal-fee,

WHY Maine Went Democratic

The Republican campaign cry in
Maine was, "a Democratic vote is a
vote against Ike"
There are mail carriers in Maine.
When Congress raised salaries of it's
own members and federal judges to
$4,000 a year and large pensions, in
order to soften the shock to the coun-
try, a bill was passed to raise the
wages of mail carriers and clerks by
1910. Mr.. Eisenhower approved the
princely raise to congressman and
judges, but vetoed the raise to the
handwriting mailmen Mr.. Eisen-
hover said, "The Treasury could not
afford it,. But one-half that we were
spending on the crazy plan of re-arm-
ing Germany would have paid the raise
to the mail workers. These men have
friends in every ward and hamlet.
1t showed that General Eisenhower's
good heart was for the officers but not
for the privates. AS with every success

able" 1T cost Mr.. Eisenhower millions

1t has been said by some that when
the Attorney General took the oil
leasing case to the courts that he
was putting himself above the Leg

stitutionality of interim-committees
was contested in the courts that we
should obey the dictates of the Leg

Lumber Industry
Means Much To
Seven Counties

Figures released this week by the
Unemployment Compensation Com
mission indicate that the logging
lumber industry is an important main
stay of the economies of seven north
western Montana counties.
Each of the seven counties had
payrolls of a million dollars ON up
because of the industry.
Lincoln county led with $7,079,OO0
in wages, 1896 average woods en-
ployment. Missoula had 1854 en-
ployment and $7,O49, 900 wages; Flat
head lab and $5,891, 900; Sanders
447 and S2,149,000; Mineral 341 and
81, 4O9, 900; Ravalli 282 and $1,14O,-
900; and Lake 259 and $1,02O,OOO.
Gallatin and Park counties ranked
next in order, with employment of
around 200 and wages of 100000
each.

don't like, or maybe the Attorney
General goes to court. Then you will
notice also in the Governors voting
record, some things don't even get
into the courts.
The Governor has the power of
veto-which doesn't even allow re-
course to the courts. The law the
Governor vetoed on Montana accept
ing additional federal aid for schools
(if and when it became available)
passed the House unanimously and
had only dissenting votes in the
Senate-practically mandate of the
Legislature-vetoed.
The oil leasing legislation was no
where near as overwhelming.
The point to remember is that
every one of these officials was with
in his right These democratic pro-
cesses give every party at interest
a right to act and be heard from the
halls of the Legislature to the states
highest court and whether it be
on oil leasing, accepting federal aid
to schools, an interim-committee or

Proposes Amendment To
Workmen's Comp. Act
BY FLOYD CLIPPUM

Eight lawyers who Specialize In
workmen's compensation cases are
meeting in Helena September 29th
Their purpose is to form an association
to fight any bills which would limit
attorneys fees. They no doubt have
heard rumors that labor intends to
introduce bill in the next Legislature
to limit attorney fees. They are right.
