behind the initiative process.
AS you sow so shall you reap. The
great battle of the past 10 years over
the preservation of the many wonder
full things in the democratic processes
have been distorted and given un-
desirable inotations until today many
of our younger generation have no
conception of what democracy is, and
the present generation would rather
not fight for it. Democracy should
give us all chance, but it is obvious
there is a strong sentiment in this
country that these chances are only
desirable when it gives them break.
The hue and cry should have gone
across the state in 1852 about the
dangers of "fascist arrogance such
as a Hitler or a Stain would resort
to-.

initiative from reaching the ballot

No Change In Cc-ep Tax
Laws This Session,
Congress Says

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS) :
Congress won't try this year to plug
a tax loophole that courts recently
handed co-ops and their members,
much as coop officials want this
done.
Congressional leaders of both par
ties made it clear they won't risk get
ting involved in long hearings in this
election year.
Four nationwide coop groups have
proposed that Congress clearly pro-
vide that a coop member must in
clude refunds in his taxable income
the year these refunds are earned,
provided they affect his business.
A few courts have recently held
that some non-cash refunds aren't
taxable until they're redeemed in
cash. Coop leaders want this loop
hole closed But plans to do so in
the 84th Congress are dead.

Withdrawals.
If Mr.. Milestone had taken his
strong stand on the virtues of the
initiative process at that time we
would all feel better about his strong
ly worded editorial last week that
ended:
Finally, and repeating, why seek
to prevent Montana voters from pass
ing judgment on it? Have the oppo-
nents feeling that they have di-
vine right to sit in judgment, not the
people? Does this not smack of fascist
arrogance, such as Hitler or Stain
would resort to-"
In Montana the initiative process
has degenerated-not because the So
called Liberals chose-but because
people like Dan Milestone didn't
fight for it long ago.
In two successive years previous
to 1856, initiatives were fought at
the signature level with the argument
"do not sign" and with withdrawal
petitions.
The procedure was accepted in
1852 and 1854 by the press in Mon
tana, including the Cut Bank Pioneer
Press, by their silence.
Wrong tho it may be, the weapons
of the initiative battle were chosen
some time ago, over our protests. Had
the unfortunate precedent not been
set the people would still have the

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

In last weeks CUT BANK Pho
NEER PRESS, Dan Milestone edi-
torializes on matter that has both
cred a lot of liberal thinking people
the past few years-the matter of
opposing the initiative process by ask
ing people not to sign an initiative,
and if they had signed to remove
their names.
Mr.. Milestone suggests the above
procedure was Liberalism in the
guise of arrogance" when it was re-
Gently applied to the Right-to-Work
initiative, and points out "The Lib
erals always take pose of giving the
people-the voters-the privilege of
expressing themselves on important
public issues and often assert that
this is contrary to the PHILOSOPHERS
and practices of what they term the
conservative ruling class"
He continues by asking, if the use
of reams of newspaper space to adj
monish the voters to refuse to sign
a petition that gives the voters the
right to study and debate an issue is
perverted Liberalism"
This same question was argued in
the past two elections when labor had
the silicosis petition before the people
and management was using some of
the same arguments labor put forth
in this campaign. In 1862 and 1854
urged people not to sign
the silicosis petition and hired people

FOR The RECORD

The roll call on the Kelley Federal
Aid to Education bill shows that Cong.
Lee Metcalf voted for passage of the
measure, and Cong. Orvin Flare,
against. The bill which contained
many of the Presidents recommends
tions for federal assistance to the
schools was killed by coalition of
Republicans and Southern Democrats,
224-194. (Cong. Record, July 5, page
10, 1922
On an amendment to provide that
prevailing wage provisions of the
Davis-Bacon Act apply to all con-
struction under the recently approved
federal highway program, Cong. Met
calf voted for the amendment. Cong.
Flare voted against federal prevailing
wage laws governing wage scales on
highway projects coming under the
enlarged federal aid program.

Grange Finds Illinois
Farmers Lose Money!

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)
Net farm income is falling off
ito an alarming" degree, the Ma
tional Grange says. Taking 20 Illi-
nois grain farms, the Grange found
average net management returns of
1885 in 1858 had shrunk to
$1,161 in 1855. For 20 hog farms
the 1858 average of $6,640 turned
into 1855 loss of $4,000. For 10
cattle farms the figures were a
net $513 in 1858, a $6,795 loss in
1855.

Federal Aid For Education

+ New York has a per capita income
of $2,O38, California 2,O32, Nevada
$2,25O, Arkansas 1851, Mississippi
1913, Georgia $1,137, according to
the 1852 statistics. Obviously New
York can spend 5000 per pupil and
pay out only 10%o of its income for
education, whereas 5000 per pupil
in Arkansas would be nearly $3.50 Of
the per capita income.
Now if the large income group
owed its large per capita income en-
tirely to its superior thrift and wis
dom, we might argue against the
larger unit as tax base. But that
is not the case. Often the profits
from peoples labor are distributed
not in the states wherein the labor
was performed, but in the larger,
more populous commercial centers
where the big companies have their
headquarters and distribute their
earnings from remote places and
states. If we actually believe in the
democracy to which the federal gov
eminent is committed; if we believe
in equality Of opportunity, in justice
and equity; and if we believe the
exists for the individual,
to help him develop into that for
which he is intended, then certainly
education is a function of the federal
1t is an error to assume
that Federal Aid" is new socialistic
trend.
The suggestion that Federal
Aid will necessarily result in the
ugly spectacle" of federal domina-
ton is not convincing. If the people
use their God-given intelligence in
watching who is elected to office,
this sort of aid can be used to re-
store and strengthen community
life and community responsibility
instead of the opposite.
Finally, these people who constant
y point the finger of scorn at the
entacles of government and lament |
would be more convinc- |
ng if they showed the same attitude
owards Federal Aid" in tax-write-
ifs for the big boys, in aid to news

and foreign trade, and as
or federal intervention and control,

This question of Federal Aid"

Federal Aid" are in error or resort
to unfair methods to gain their point,
one feels like talking back.
This week one of Montana's week
lies speaks of the growing tentacles
of Federal Aid' to education, of the
"ugly spectacle" of federal aid in
something the states should be al
lowed to do themselves. Then there
is an implication that this sort of
trend is of MARKHAM origin and that
any step towards government "aid'
is a step toward more paternalistic
government which would eventually
qualify for the same standing as an
unnamed father.
The trouble with this sort of all
too-common reasoning (?) is that it
offers no fresh information for the
people to use in making responsible
decisions In the second place, it
seems a dangerous practice, this try
ing to make a people suspicious of
the government which has given US
such rich heritage-the government
founded upon the principles expound-
ed by jefferson, Tom Paine and ex-
tended by Lincoln and Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson. 1 may be over
sensitive on this; l get somewhat OPP
pressed when editors talk of the
of the federal government
remind too many of those
IF the octopus reaching out to crush,
ill and devour.
And it is not that we who see
merit in so-called Federal Aid" do
not recognize the value of the
smaller community as a medium
for giving individual persons status
and the sense of responsibility; noe
do we fail to see that the federal
government has its drawbacks in
performing this needed task of
helping the individual identifying
himself with some place, some
community, some group to become
an effective citizen.
But this government of which, at
ther times we boast of being large,
powerful and mighty, is here. 1t won't
,e any better by making people sus-
,icious of it's "tentacles"; nor can
We we'll suggest that it be divided up
nto ten or more competing smaller
nits-it would not be consistent so
ong as we stay in the United Ma
ions.
ERIN is A "MISNOMER"
Then the very term Federal Aid
misnomer. If from the beginning
re had avoided the term "Federal
id" and instead used Federal par {
cipation" or "the use of the largest '
nit, the federal government, as the ]
nit for taxing for revenue to give {
Il youth an equal chance, we, the s
elievers in this, would have Jared /
etter, far better. 4
