it would be that Joe Reber of

Olsen's blessing.
In the forefront of those be-

like Jack Toole, is a resident of
Shelby, and Jim Murray, a Kalis-
pell lawyer who for quite a
while has been a COP handspring
in that part of the state.
These party conventions are re-
quired by law - the body of law
that sets up the mechanics of
party organization. 1t might be
said that the keystone of politi-
cal parties in Montana is the pri-
mary election.
And it might also be said that
with not a few of the politicians
of our day the primary system
for nominating candidates is more
sacred than the state constitution
itself. / do not believe this state
ment is an exaggeration, for l re-
call instances where legislators

stitution but have shrieked in
horror at the merest suggestion
of modifying the primary election
system.

by the primary election

lous for the abuses to which it
was susceptible, particularly boss
control. The primary election
method was expected by its
champions to correct all this, but

up to the idealistic antlcipations
of its crusading proponents.
I sometimes wonder whether
the Montana primary law, in con-
junction with statutes pertaining
to Independent candidates and
minor parties, has really been
effective in eliminating boss con-
troll. 1t seems to me that one
kind of boss has been substituted
for anoher, for within the frame
work of our election laws there
still is a lot of room for political
bosses and manipulators to oper-
ate.
Despite its faults, the conven-
ton system for nominating cam
didates did give a degree of par
ty responsibility now sadly lack
ing. And what / think is especi-
ally pertinent, it effectively dis
couraged attempts by people of
one party to nominate candidates
of another party. Under the Mon
tana primary election system the
crossing of party lines is tempt
ingly easy. So long as we have
an open primary, / would prefer
to have it wide open like the
general election ballot.
In my opinion, which is based
on rather long and close observa-
ton of practical" politics in Mon
tana, one thing definately wrong
with provisions for nominating
candidates for public office per-
tains to so-called independent
candidates. 1t is far from being
an isolated experience in Montana
that Independents are filed, some
times with success, to throw a
monkeywrench into major party
nominating machinery as repre-
sented by the primary election
system.
Another procedure open to a.
buse relates to minor parties.
Here is another device for po-
litical skullduggery. There should
be no objection to bonafide minor
parties getting into the field
with a slate of candidates, but
when political manipulators re-
a minor party or rig up a
third party, that is repugnant to
good government.
l certainly would not deny in
dependents, acting in good faith,
the right to get on the general
election ballot, nor to suppress
legitimate minor parties, but I
do not like to see these individu-
ais or parties be the tools or
dupes of those trying to defeat
candidates nominated in the pri-
mary.
AS the Montana law now is,
Independents and minor party
candidates for state and congress
sional offices have until 80 days
before the general election in
which to file their nominating
certificates with the secretary of
state. This is just about two
months after the primary election,
and gives the manipulators that
much time to gum up the works.
It seems to me that Independents
should be held to the same filing
Headline as primary election can
1idateS and that minor party
conventions should be
required to be held not later than
the primary election.
Experience in this country has
demonstrated that an alert, Wig
orous and highly competitive two
party system is the most effective
way of registering the will of the .
majority and translating that will
nto the policies and actions of
government. Hence we should all
De concerned about anything that
ends to weaken or Illustrate the
-wo-party system. Where our
machinery is faulty we
ihould improve it. That, in prac-
ice, is the best way for dealing
With political bossism and the
.ult of political manipulators.

general good business condi-
tions which have produced a
high employment ratio and
better wage scales.
Details of the advances in
earnings are carried in the 1855
Consumer Markets annual. In
cluded is data for every part of
the country.
1t shows that in Noble County,
44.2 percent of the consumer
units had spendable incomes last
year, after payment of taxes, of
$4,000 Or more.
This represents considerable
increase in the percentage Of
such units since 1851, when the
previous study on income break
downs was made. At that time
there were 17.2 percent.
The term, consumer unit. is
used to designate families or in
dividuals maintaining their own
establishments. There are 400 of
them locally in the over $4,000
category.
In the group with incomes a.
bove $4,000, there are now $40
units or III percent in Noble
County.
The impressive growth Of the
middle income and middle rich
classes has had the effect Of in
creasing markets, changing buy
ing habits and raising the stan
dard of living.
The typical family locally has
more money to spend at present
and is in the mood to spend it,.
Of interest is the manner in
which the bigger earnings are
being used. According to Fed
eral Reserve Board study, those
with incomes above $4,000 are
60 percent are more likely than
others to buy major household
equipment or furniture.
They buy four times as many
new automobiles per 100 fam
lilies as those with incomes be-
low $4,000.
They also buy better homes,
more electrical gadgetS, eat bet
ter and do more travelling.

With the Republicans taking
the lead in the number of can
didates filing for the office of
county commissioner, it became
quite apparent this week that a
number of Democrats plan to
make the race, consequently
making the old adage apply,
The more the merrier".
The latest Democrat to in
dicate his intentions is Ray c..
Archer, of Mt. Ephraim, Seneca
township.
Archer, lifelong resident of
Noble county. is newcomer to
county politics. He is a we'll
known farmer and in the past
years had been employed on
highway construction at which
time he operated road equip
ment.
The other two Democratic
candidates in the running are
Alfred Brown and Bert Van
Fossen.
Republicans, numbering five,
who plan a showdown in the
May primary are Ernest Secrest,
Dack Blake, M. l.. Rayner, Ken
meth Kearns, and c. l.. Franklin.
It is currently reported that H. G.
Williams, incumbent, will also
be candidate, but a non-com-
initial status on his part to date
fails to indicate a confirmation
Of the rumor.

Of $299.74 Per.

Operation Of the Federal gov
ernment during the fiscal year
1862, will cost the residents of
Noble county an estimated
$3,507, 900 if the Eisenhower bud
get of $65, ,900,0 100000 submitted
TO Congress is enacted into law,
according to the Ohio Chamber
Of Commerce.
Estimated cost for Ohio at
large for the Federal spending
program proposed by Vie Presi-
dent would be 81, 25,340,000, or
4 Statewide average of $482.2l
for every citizen of Ohio or
$l,92884 for a family of four
persons, Ohio Chamber Presi-
dent Harry w. Arnold said.
In comparison to the State
wide average, the proposed cost
for every citizen of Noble county
would be $299.74 and $l,l9896
for family of four.
The proposed budget of $685.
'900,000,000 is an increase of
$500, 100000 over the budget for
the fiscal year l955-l956 which
began last July /, amounting to
$4,000, 100000.
That a balanced budget is eX-
pected to be attained in both the
current and coming fiscal years
was noted by the Ohio Chamber,
Mr.. Arnold said, but disappoint-
ment was expressed in that the
balance in the l956-57 fiscal year
will not result from cutting ex-
penditures.
The balance, Mr.. Arnold point
ed out, will come from higher
revenues at present tax rates,
including corporation and excise
tax rates which had been
scheduled for reduction April /.
The scheduled reduction in COR
pOration and excise tax rates
have now been postponed three
times.
It was also pointed out that

Commissioners May
Be Forced To Hold
Properly ReappraisaI

Action is expected to be taken
soon by Harrison county Auditor
Glenn Mickey to force county
commissioners to provide funds
for the revaluation of properties
within the county.
The commissioners have re-
fused to appropriate a request
ed $4,000 to carry on the reval-
uation, but Mickey and Prosecu-
tor Morris 0. Gibby have point
ed out that the commissioners
can be forced to make the ap-
propriation by the Ohio tax COM
mission under an Ohio law which
expressly declares that the tax
commission has the power to
force subdivisions to supply
funds.
Gibby stated that the county
cannot ignore the state order
and cited several cases where the
tax commission has stepped in
to help obtain funds.
The commissioners, noting this
as an election year, wanted the
revaluation done by county ap-
praisers, but Mickey declares the
county will benefit to a greater
extent by continuing with the
private firm now doing the job.
Tho commissioners have hpap in
formed that the private firm in
creased the county's income by
$4,000 in the first three weeks Of
operating with the work costing
less than l,400 in the same
