The Helena PTA Council, Monday
evening, heard District Judge Victor
H. Fall introduce the Aetna Casualty
Insurance Company Drivotrainer
plan for training the youth of the
country while they are in high school
to drive properly and safely.
The Aetna plan consists of class
room training of the student in a
stationary, mechanically equipped
automobile" series of films and a
large machine that registers the re-
action of all students at the same
time. The recording machine and the
training cars enable many students
to have driver education under the
direction of one teacher. Under the
present program of driver training
one student and three observer"
partake in each class.
The plan would not eliminate son
the road" training but would reduce
and supplement it.
AS presented to the Helena PTA
Council a pilot plan with 5 cars for
the Helena high school would cost
about $4,000 for equipment and in
stallation. The possibility of the
original investment being under
written by insurance and civic
groups was discussed.
The automobile death and injury
toll has been called ''the greatest
uncontrolled social problem facing
the country today" In 1854 approx
mately $4,000 men, women and chill
dren were killed in traffic accidents.
Two million more were manned or
injured.

panies and many other groups be-
lieve through driver education we
could, in a generation put on our

who have been trained for safety.

Should Send Missionaries
To Certain Southern States

One political problem is made clear:
Ike will run for reelection, if he is
nominated. 1t. goes to show: That, no
matter how strenuous or nerve-wrack-
ing the job is, there are always many
willing to take it, no matter how
mentally or physically fit they are.
Should like be nominated, and seek
to run, with or without an election
issue, there is always a catchy slogan
he can adopt: Ike and prosperity, could
be about as good as any. Old-time
politicians would like to see both old
parties kept alive. in order to keep
elections more interesting.
We have a big problem, but it is
not an international problem: An in
ternal problem would be a better name
for it: We have Juvenile delinquency,
illiteracy the race-problem, and the
increasing crime situation, enough to
keep us busy for a good many years
to overcome.
Instead of sending missionaries to
China we could send some to certain
Southern states, instead of sending
millions for European and Asian edu-
cation, we could profitably use the
same money right here at home for
the same purpose, without needlessly
crossing the ocean; some children in
u. S. A. never even see the inside of
a school-room.
Onr number one problem today is
an economic, not a military one 4No
country, regardless of it's military
strength, is able or willing to war
against U. S. A. regardless of our
War-Propaganda
Our main problem today is: Flood
and erosion control, which we should
have started more than fifty years ago.
We have spent millions of dollars and
been dilly -dallying with the project,
and it's doubtful if we even have a
good blueprint worked out yet.
The Russians had a similar problem
on the Volga River, which they finished
by the end of 1858: The greater-Volga-
Project. In magnitude, it was second
only to the Chinese Wall. 1t compares
somewhat with the projected Upper
Nile project and, in addition, takes in
the Don River, which it turns to flow
into the Caspian Sea, never to reach
the ocean.-A.E E. ANDERSON, Butte.

Corruption In Washington

Though there was direct evidence of
only one attempt to bride a senator
of the United States to vote for the
Oil and Gas Bill, yet the suspicion that
bribery of others had been perpetrated,
raised such stencil that the President
vetoed the bill.
A new phrase has become current
to whitewash to the public and sooth
the feeble consciences of senators.
contributions to campaign expenses"
is the new name for what the lobbyist
intends to be a bride to get a senator
to vote for a certain bill and the sena-
tor accepting it knows that it is a
bride.
The Texas Oil Crowd, with millions
of slush funds, Sam Rayburn in the
House, Lyndon Johnson in the Senate,
satraps in Washington for the Barons
of Oil, would probably be exposed if
the investigation were not strictly con-
fined to the act of Senator Case of re-
jecting the bribe-which he published.
Favoritism in the Income Tax Law
donates countless millions to the Oil
Crowd. Legally it is their money. They
do not use taxpayers money to bride.
The Chang Lobby is in another
class. If this gang makes campaign
contributions" to senators it comes
out of the United States Treasury. The
ordinary Chinaman is honest. The
Upper Glass Chinese have a long world
wide reputation for squeeze, graft,
corruption. We contribute hundreds of
millions to Chiang's ganag. 1t is simple
business to send back to that lobby
10 millions for Campaign expenses"
of members of our House and Senate.
A year or so ago one trusted mem
Der of this China Lobby vanished to
Mexico with 100000. There are some
who do not want to bring him back.

Cheap Government Power

Just how cheap is cheap govern
ment power" anyway? Perhaps an
analysis of Canyon Ferry Dam and
it's cost might be informative. Ye Edi-
tor says that it was Slated to not
only pay for itself, pay a substantial
amount on the cost of irrigation for
Helena Valley and Crow Creek, but
at the end of SO years, realize a net
profit for Uncle Sam of $12,000,000."
He doesn't say who slated it, but who
ever it was, evidently his slate pencil
needed sharpening.
Canyon Ferry Dam, Crow Creek and
Helena Valley will have cost approx
mately $4,000. 900 with an installed
generating capacity of $4,000 XIV with
only about water enough for a firm
power maximum of $4,000 XIV. Gross
firm and non-firm power output for
1854 was 143,0O0,0OO XVIII, or a load

Farm Prices Continued To Decline
1855 MONTANA BUSINESS GOOD, BUT Jagged BEHIND
other INDUSTRIALIZED AREAS

Observation-Disclosures 1866 was
an excellent business year in Mon
tana, the boom seems not to have
reached the proportions which it did
in other, more industrialized areas,
according to business summary and
outlook article published in the Feb
ruary issue of MONTANA BUSI-
NESS. The monthly bulletin, pub
lished by the Bureau of Business and
Economic Research, Montana State
University, reports that nOnagricul-
tural employment set new records
in 1865. Average employment for the
year was 154 900, compared to 1884,
200 in 1853 and $4,000 in 1854.
Much of the decline in 1854 and the
subsequent increase in 1866 was due
to the labor dispute in the mining
and smelling industry, which af-
fected approximately 10000 workers
for seven weeks in 1854. With higher
wage rates and longer work weeks,
many workers enjoyed substantially
increased earnings, especially in the
mining and manufacturing indus
tries.
Led by copper and petroleum, Mon
tanas mineral industries set new
value of production record of $162.5
million in 1865, compared to $125.6
million in 1854. Approximately So
per cent of the 1855 value was at
tributable to copper and oil.
The national construction boom in
sured an excellent year for Montana's
lumber industry, and production in
the industry increased markedly. Con-
struction activity in Montana was
maintained at high levels in 1866, al
though fewer heavy construction
projects were in progress. A fast
pace of commercial building helped
to fill the void.
The University publication notes
that for Montana farmers and
ranchers, 1855 brought a repeti-
ton of the preceding three years
"a period of falling agricultural
prices and high operating costs.
Preliminary estimates place total
cash receipts from farm market
ings for the year at 5000 million,
7 per cent below 1854. A saving
factor was the favorable growing
conditions which resulted in the
second largest wheat crop ever
harvested-28 per cent above 1854.
Despite declining agricultural in !

come, the overall record of The Mon
tana economy in 1866 was impress
sive. Bank debts in 20 Montana cities
were the highest in history, and 9
per cent above 1854. Total sales of
Montana department stores last year
are estimated at $18.7 million, per
cent above 1854. New car sales were
25 per cent above 1854. Tourist ex-
penditures in the state in 1866 are
estimated at $685. million.
MONTANA BUSINESS points out
that prospects for 1856 are heavily
upon the course of the

national economy. The employment
outlook is perhaps better for Mon
tana than for the United States, be-
cause of the states lack of manu-
featuring, particularly durable goods
industries, where some decline is ex-
pected. The most serious problem
for Montana is the expected further
decline in agricultural income this
year. The degree to which the nom
agricultural sector can offset the
agricultural decline will be major
factor in determining just how good
business is in Montana in 1856.
