In many instances we keep ad-
vising our readers to do things
that are different in their picture
taking, to seek new subjects, and
vary the treatment of the familiar
subjects.
But there is one area in which
we don't do this. And that's when
we talk about baby snapshots. We
want people to keep right on TAX
ing baby pictures, and to take the
very same type of pictures they've
always taken, and then add every
new idea they have. No family
can have too many pictures Of
baby.
There is probably a picture Of
baby being bathed, or playing in
the tub in every family album,

And we'll there should be. First
of all, bathtime is looked upon as
one of fun for both baby and
mother. Baby is usually freshly
awake and in a happy mood. This
makes him an ideal Photographic
subject. 1t is also a time that
stands out as important in the
minds of the parents, and this
makes pictures for remembering.
The bath scene makes good pic
ture taking extra easy.

GOVERNOR PR0CLAIMS april 29-
May 5. CONSERVATION week

The week of April 20 through May
5 has been proclaimed as the sixth
annual Montana Conservation Week
by Governor J. Hugo Aronson.
In issuing his proclamation the Gov
ernor cited the Outstanding" work
being accomplished by the Montana
Conservation Council.
He said that "the face of Montana
bears eloquent and vivid testimony
to the rich resources which are both
our proud heritage and our humble
responsibility now and hereafter"
The Governor listed four major
fields of resources the state has in
emphasizing the Importance of con-
servation to Montanans. These are:
1. "The mineral wealth beneath our
feet" he said. "has been historically
significant in the development of our
State and of our Nation; that it con-
tributes in great measure to our
present prosperity; that it is poten-
TALLY abundant but exhaustible, and
that therefore we must harvest it
wisely.
2. "Within our state boundaries
are the headwaters of three of the
great river systems of North America.
To this extent we are stewards of
watersheds that vitality affect the
economy, safety and future prosper
ity of the continent.
8. "Since the day that the first
pioneer broke Montana sod, our soil
has produced for us rich agricultural
crops and great herds of livestock.

Montana Congressman Fights
Giveaway Policies OF Republicans

Social Security bill which passed the
| House.
Metcalf pulls no punches when he
talks of the brazen giveaway of our
natural resources by the Eisenhower
Administration.
He told group of rubber workers
once of the Hells Canyon giveaway to
the private Idaho Power and Light
Company whose headquarters are 10
Gated in Boston, Mass.
The Truman administration pro-
posed multi-purpose dam to be built
at Hells Canyon on the Snake River
in Idaho. The dam would be used fer
flood control, irrigation, navigation
and recreation purposes as well as
providing area consumers with cheap
power.
But when the Eisenhower Admin
istration came to power, Secretary of
the Interior Douglas Mckay sided
with the private power combine which
wanted to build three smaller dams
for power purposes only. This would,
according to Metcalf, ruin one of our
last remaining great damsites in the
nation.
Metcalf mentioned the Hungry
Horse Dam in Montana, a public en-
terprise and multi-purpose dam,
which has been a boon to the state
because of the large influx of bust
ness and industry entering the area.
Industry was attracted by the low
public power rates and other benefits
Of the project. When President Harry
Truman visited the dam he waved his
arm majestically at it: "See this
1am?" he said. "Wen, this is the last
one like it you'll see if the Republi-
cans get in" Truman was just about
light.

SHORTSlGHTEDNESS OF BILLINGS
CITY Fathers FLAYED BY FRASER

BILLINGS-The possibility it may
be necessary to incorporate another
town Immediately adjecent to the
city of Billings in order that ways
and means may be found of financing
water supply for major additions
to the metropolitan area of Billings
may become full-blown controversy
in the near future. Already the city
council is being accused of short
sightedness for not having envisioned
the possibilities of tremendous growth
of Billings less than five years ago.
At that time the city council in
making additions to the water sys-
tenn repeatedly financed the improve
ments by utilizing the full borrow
ing capacity of the city on the basis
of a short-term bond issue. Thus,
until the 10-year period is up, it ap-
pears Billings will be financially I'M
able to make further expansion of
it's water system.
One of the principal opponents to

sion program two years ago was VIII

insurance companies are reluctant to

: leader in the Yellowstone area. This
week, in observing the "bind' the
city is now in, Fraser said ''the idea
of there being a necessity for the
incorporation of another city imme-
diately adjacent to the city limits
of Billings would be preposterous
were it not for knowledge of the al
most unbelievable water program our
city administration and water board
palmed off on the people of Billings
two years ago.
"This monstrous water program"
he said, with all the troubles such
as dug up streets, and re-dug up
streets, leaking mains, and terrible
tasting water, as well as water short
ages were foretold by myself, and
others who think city should be run
on a progressive business-like basis.
No businessman with vision would
limit his borrowing capacity for a
ten-year period, yet this is exactly
what these so-called business adj
ministration' city fathers did to Bill
lings-and this in face of a growing
economy. To limit the city's bonding
capacity for ten years in view of
the growth that is Billings immediate
potential was little short of criminal.
And for that alone, they and the
water board should resign.
"When I pointed out that any
water program should include the
Billings Bench" Fraser continued,
"the administration with hysterical
disregard for the facts, rammed |
through their water program that |
will be a milestone around all our
necks for many years to come. Just |
for making new town of Coulson |
possible in conversation, should be
enough for the people if Billings to
demand the resignation of the mayor
and members of the council who
together with the water board put
over this i'll advised and long expen-
sive water program.
GLOW long must we continue to
be governed in this most unbusiness-
like way, by men of no vision?" he
asked in conclusion. |

NEUBERGER PROPOSES
TAXES FOR POLITICS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Campaign contributions are like an
iceberg. The $4,000 that an oil lobby
list offered Senator Francis Case (R-
S. Da.) in the midst of a natural gas
controversy and the $4,000 tex
pense" fund for Vice-President Rich
ard Nixon in 1852 represent only the
small, visible part.
The bigger part lies below the
surface, undiscovered. How big these
unrevealed contributions are is still
anybody's guess.
1t costs big money to win public
office, Or even to run for it. Big
money doesn't come in SIS and $40
bills from ordinary people. 1t comes
from those who have it-businesses,
labor unions, wealthy individuals.
The successful candidate for the
White House or Congress is placed
under some obligation to those who've
his success.
Senator Richard L. Neuberger ID
Ore.) proposed February 20 that all
the people pay for political campaigns
through taxes. This is not a new idea.
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and
William Howard Taft favored it 40
years ago.
When a president is elected, Neu-
berger would grant each party zoe
for each vote they got four years
In other even-numbered
years when a new Congress is elected,
they'd get 15c a vote.
This year, for example, the Re-
publicans would get $6.8 million and
the Democrats, $51a million. Each
party could then raise additional
funds up to these amounts, provided
that no contributor gave more than
800. Other campaign funds would
be barred.

Tribute Paid To MetcaIf
By BILL ABBOTT I
Special to Labor's Daily-ITU


WASHINGTON, D. C.-There sits
in Congress today an unassuming
young man from the distant Ito most
people, state of Montana. His name
is Lee Metcalf, a pleasant-faced,
husky forester-type with concern for
the underdog as big as his expansive
smile. The nation has yet to hear from
him, although people who have been
around Washington for years say he
can't miss being one of the outstand-
ing liberals in this generation.
United Rubber Workers Legislative
Representative Tom Owens, who has
spent nearly two decades in the CAPT
tai city, predicts Metcalf will become
a future senator from the state, and
says with considerable feeling that
if ever young congressman had poll
tical appeal and the ability to catch
peoples imaginations the Montana
congressman has it,
Metcalf can talk to both farmers
and workers and make them like it.
He says one of the most damaging
political moves Of the Eisenhower Ad-
ministratiOn is its Grass attempt to
play the farmer and worker off
against each other.
LABOR'S GAIN OUR GAIN
Gust look at how labor legislation
helps you," the Montanan told visit
ing farm delegation. "Take the mini
mum wage. Do you know 100000 |
Americans make less than $1.00 an
hour? Now, when we up the mini
mum wage by Csc, one-third of that |
increase will be spent in buying farm
products. Labor's gain is your gain,
and it's in your interest to help raise |
the workers standard of living"
Recently, Metcalf told a rubber
workers group that they prosper as
the farmer prospers. "Three per cent
of our capital goods are sold to farm
ers, and two million workers work
on farm mplements-and that in
cludes tractor tires" Last year when
farm income went down II per cent,
tractor tire production decreased by
the identical amount.
Then, in language everybody
could understand Metcalf advocat-
ed a guaranteed annual wage for
farmers" If the GAW was good
for workers it should be good for
farmers as well.
According to Metcalf we must re-
orient our thinking concerning agri-
ft1v-af Wn1tra hnn,, |
.erned about farm price structures,
tut the real problem is the farm in t
:ome. Especially on family type {
arms. {
The little farmer, not the big cor i.
,oration farmer, is the person the !:
government should be concerned
bout. "Let's pay little attention 20 :
he little guy and see he gets a break. :
.et's give him a minimum and guar y
nteed wage"
One Metcalf success has been his N
God stamp plan to help both farmers +
nd needy families. He argued that n
s long as the nation has a food sur !,
lus it should be consumed by those O
rho can't afford to buy the food II
ne needy and the unemployed. He %

eff the Republicans stay in power
much longer" says Metcalf, "there
won't be anything left to give away
