Bars Back Bonner,
Joliet Reader SAYS

The Peoples Voice,
note in a recent editorial of yours,
that you think John Bonner had
changed not you. l wonder if Bonner
has not changed in more ways than
one.
For instance, l don't believe there
was anyone thing in Bonner's career
that did as much to elect him governor
as his stand against gambling when
he was Attorney General in Al and AZ.
Now you can go in anyone of these
places that want to carry on gambling
and you will see Bonner's photos.
| have seen at least twice in recent
times in the BILLINGS GAZETTE,
where the editor had visioned in his
crystal ball that the various Demo-
cratic candidates would get so rough
with each other before the primary that
j. Hugo would have easy sailing at
the general election. Bonner is the
only one who is putting out material
to be used against any other candi-
date. 1 wonder why.
1t appears on the front page of the
a few days ago that the
oil Co at Cut Bank had showed up
Arnold Olsen had lost as much possibly
as $4,000, 900 for not letting the ever
lasting oil lease plan go through. Now
it seems to me both Bonner and Sam
Ford should come in for some con-
1emning for vetoing such bill, while

governor have seen in print a mum
ber of times that both vetoed similar
laws to the one that is causing this
controversy. And the Legislature had
passed these laws.
1 just wonder how the gambling and
oil industry will take Mr.. Bonner if
he gets the nomination for Governor
The gambler can truthfully say he,
Bonner, throwed rocks in their play
house. And the Oil Co. ditto by veto
ing our everlasting lease law on school
lands. Will they go along with him.

of leases from ranchers to Oil Co.

never seen one for longer than 10
years.
There appeared in the BILLINGS
GAZETTE a few days ago a statement
by LaRue Smith g. Hugo's bodyguard)
that we have the same kind of an oil
lease law now that we had in 81 and
'52, and Arnold Olsen and Miss Condor
were satisfied with it then and only
after j. Hugo got to be gov
ernor. How does that compare with
the statements of j. Hugo, Bill Mackay,
Rex Hibbs, Don Nutter and some more
who claim they changed the law in
'53 to make it more appealing for the
oil cO.-A. w. RICE, Joliet.

Big Farmers Think
Differently Than
Small Operators

Following is the report of a recent
meeting of the Birdseye Farm Bureau
The members of the Birdseye Farm
Bureau, meeting at the Tom Mcmillan
home May IL, voted to investigate tim
Der cutting near the Bill Osborne ranch
on Warm Springs Creek.
They also voted against soliciting
new members for 1856, and instructed
Frank Schatz to confer with the county
attorney on Mixer &c Co. delinquent
taxes.
Jean DeBree reported on a. road COM
mittee conference he attended and Bill
Osborne called attention to the men,
bers of report form available to the
All Clubs to tabulate farm accidents
in the area.
Wayne Nell, county FB president.
commented on recent statement he
made to the papers and presented
testimony to indicate that much
Farm bureau policy is made at high
er levels instead of the more desir-
able "grass roots FeveI." 1T also was
generally agreed that the farmer
with several thousand acres or the
cattlemen with thousands of head of
cattle thinks differently on farm
problems than the average farmer
or rancher.
Refreshments were served by Tom

The Voice of the People

| Mr.. Editor
l am a member of the largest or
| ganization in the State of Montana. By
| that / mean that [ am one of over
! 1876, 900 residential and rural customers
of our private utility power companies
| With our families, we represent more
| than 100000 population or more than
| three-fourths of the population of the
State, that is being served power and
| light by utility companies. Naturally
we are very sensitive, and resent any
action that may tend to increase the
cost of operation which will be re-
flected in increased charges to US. At
the present time, our rates are among
the lowest in the country. REA Coop
customers in Montana pay an average
of 81 mills per XVIII for their power,
with minimum charge of around
$1,000 per month.
Private utility customers pay an
average of % mills per XVIII with a
minimum charge of 75c per month.
Since 306 of the charge is taxes, it
means that if the private utility COM
panies were tax free like the Govern
ment power plants, private utility GUS
toners would only be paying 16 mills
per XVIII. REA Co-ops collect" less
than go of their gross receipts in
taxes. I am making all these argu-
ments in defense of my own status as
an electric power user.
l have been charged with being a
holder of the controlling interest in
the Montana Power Company, as well
as receiving a munificent salary and
bonuses. [ am very sorry to have to
confess that the entire charge is with
out the slightest foundation. [ only
wish it were true and would be very
proud if it were. 1 am not interested
in the slightest whether the public
utility companies or the county treas
urer collects the taxes. [ am however,
vitally interested in the fact that as
q customer of &c private utility, it is
my money that is being collected Gus
toners of government power plants pay
no taxes. Just how do | go about join
ing up with the special privileged tax
dodgers? If we all Joined up, just
where would we get the tax money
to build more government power
plants? Raise the rates 1910 maybe,
huh ?-E. j. PARKINSON, Great Falls.

The big difference? You and l would

High State Courts
Uphold PiFafing

CHICAGO, Ill.-(CNS)-Supreme
courts in South Carolina and Utah
last month upheld the right of private
utilities to invade territories of rural
electric co-ops and pick off customers.
Though a South Carolina coop had
two lines within a mile of a TV sta
ton, the court said Carolina Power
& Light could run a line in and serve
it. The Utah court said Utah Power
& Light could extend its lines into
a co-op's service area, even though
the coop was willing and able to
meet all foreseeable demands.

Montana's S WiIdIife

Have you purchased your 1856 fish
ing license and received the folder
which measures 22"X28", a map OF Mon
tana divided into districts for the
taking of fish. The folder contains
complete information on where to fish.
when to fish, how to fish and how 20
prepare the fish should the license
holder be lucky enough to return home
with a catch.
Remember, the whole of the pamphlet
are Commission regulations to have the
form, force and effect of law. The state
does not have statute laws for the
taking of fish although the courts have
held that regulations can only be
through our legislature; our law-mak-
ing body. Our Constitution was drawn
up during the HORSE AND BUGGY
DAYS" Federal bureaucracy desiring
control of our fish and game detest
statute laws. They desire delegated
law making powers to SELECT FEW.
and through that select few, which is
our Governor and his appointed COM
mission, the federals are doing quite
well.
Since the issuance of the regulations
"beefs" have been entered, and the
Governor. through his commission,
changed the season Rock Creek in Mis-
soula county and no doubt in many
other localities, so, by the time fish
ing season opens the published regu-
lations will be considered obsolete.
Montana assented to federal aid in
fish restoration, which is federal con-
troll The aid we get is a portion of our
own money which the FEDERALS

Minnesota stopped in Helena over
night on her way to eastern Montana
and was the guest of the Lewis &
Clark Kefauver Committee at an in
formal dinner Sunday, May 13.
Mrs. Knutson is serving her first
term in the United States Congress
and is visiting Montana in behalf of
Senator Kefauver.
The mother of a 16-year-old boy,
the congresswoman believes firmly
women serve a definite purpose in
politics because they bring a differ
ent slant to the nations problems
that men overlook She says there
isn't a woman serving in Congress
that doesn't have the respect of her
male associates for their tireless work
and determination.
Congresswoman Knutson, however,
was more interested in talking about
Senator Kefauver than her own ac-
complishme
She said it is so important that
people interested in Kefauver becom-
ing president talk to their friends
and neighbors. "When you have
something good tell the people about
it", she said, "it is not only a privi
lege, but duty to activate your
people in favor of your candidate"
Since Mrs. Knutson's visit to Hell
ena and other Montana cities, Senator
Kefauver has had to cancel planned
plane stop trip in the state, which
brings to mind the statement she
made when questioned about the op-
position to him saying he was neglect
ing his duties in the Senate to cam
paign. Mrs. Knutson said, "that sim
ply isn't true, Estes has neglected
campaigning for the interests and
duties of his office, as to neglecting
routine matters, and you might bear
in mind the many extra hours he has
spent with his committee work when
Congress has not been in session"
Informal questioning on aspects of
the campaign brought out the fact
that Estes Kefauver was at the top
of his class at Yale.
Mrs. Knutson said, cit is significant
that wherever Kefauver has gone he
has gained support from the rank and
file and he will continue to have that
support because the people believe
in him." and added, 'it is most sig
nificant the people feel the same as
they did in 1852 and they feel he
would win the same kind of sentiment
n the presidential race in November"
Asked how she felt his chances
we're at the National Convention she
said, chow can they ignore the peo-
,le?"
Important to the people said Coya
<nutson, is the fact that Estes Ke-
'auver has the best program for
armers and small business of any y
