FrauduIentIy Titled
Initiatives Defeat
Hailed BY Labor

Failure of the Right-to-W mi.
tiative petitions has been cited by the
Helena Labor Advisory Committee as
step toward protecting Montana's
economy, according to Dorothy Engle-
dow, chairman.
The committee noted that of the
required 977 signatures needed to
qualify this county, only 80 persons
signed the petitions and many of them
later had their names withdrawn.
In commenting on the failure of
the initiative to get on the November
ballot, the chairman said, "This mi
tiative was totally misleading in that
its guaranteed no one the right to
work, but was rather union-busting
measure which would have hurt not
only the workingman, but the bust
nessman as we'll. We certainly think
the people have the right to vote on
an important issue, but this initiative,
disguised as it was, deserved no place
on the ballot. Our committee was
formed for the purpose of getting the
true story to the people of this county
and that we have tried to do"

Postal Rates Increase

Cong. Orvin Flare, that dauntless
defender of the public veal, last
week voted to give away another
piece of your purchasing power
when he voted for the Admins
tration-sponsored bill to increase
postal rates. The bill passed the
House 217-165.
Under the bill, first class letter
mail rates will be bumped from
three to four cents per ounce or
fraction thereof. The Administra-
ton has been urging this 33 IS 20
rate increase for two years while,
at the same time admitting that let
ter mail is the only class of mail
which makes a substantial profit
for the Post Office Department
each year.
The bill also proposed a 80 per
cent increase in rates charged news

protested treatment accorded to her
coop on the part of the Army
Corps of Engineers in securing
power supply for a SAGE installa-
ton in her co-op's service area.
In June of last year House Major
ity Leader Rep. John Mccormick
(Mass.), had released Comptroller
Generals opinion declaring that the
Air Force was proceeding with its
SAGE system without adequate au-
thority from Congress.
Then began complete expose of
the antics of former AT&T personnel
working within the government to
turn the multi-billion dollar SAGE
program into an ATT bonanza. The
charge was also made that REA was
caught sleeping, or at least rural
telephone co-ops were not notified
of SAGE until last December.
The Senate version of SAGE au-
thorization now goes to conference

little opposition. 1t eliminates an APP

Huvre;{ looperutors Celebrated
25tb anniversary Yesterday

What makes a successful Co-Opera-
tive business?
In a good position to answer that
question would be the co-operators
of the Farmers Union Oil Company at
Havre, who celebrated their 25th an
niversary, Thursday, July IL, at their
annual meeting for 1856.
The 18th Anniversary history
of the Farmers Union Oil Com
pany at Havre is a rags to riches
tale, that the managers and stock
holders would be quick to tell you did
not come about through the magic
of a fairy godmother, but rather
through the wisdom, hard work, and
loyalty of managers, directors and
stockholders who truly believe in CO.
operation.
Started 25 years ago with capital
of $500, 5000 of which was Dor
rowed on notes of stockholders as
collateral, the Havre station today
records assets of 1926, 283.71.
The first station was leased bulk
plant located on West First Street
in Havre, consisting of two 10000
gallon bolted bulk tanks, bulk pump
and a 12x24 office and warehouse.
They survived competition of old
line companies who were able to ex-
tend credit, farmers hauling crude
direct from the wells who would cook
it in home made stills, and Coop
buying organization on the "High-
line" that sold fuel for cost plus
handling, and after eight months they
were considering buying lots and
putting up their own station.
In February 1853 following the
completion of their own plant the
minutes relate the cost was So, 1922
and $113 of stock was issued for
labor.
The Havre Farmers Union Oil
Company had been in operation for
a year when the auditor suggested
they declare a dividend of &c a gal
lon on gasoline, 1 1Ac gallon on
distalite and 10c a gallon on oil.
These dividends were credited to the
notes and non-stock
holders dividends were set up toward
a. share of stock.
The Farmers Union Oil Company
at Havre has had only two managers
in it's 25 years of operation. Hilbert
Peterson, hired from among 8 apph-
Giants, was the original manager and
held that position for % years. He
resigned in 1853. Al Mcleod came
to the station at that time from Fair
field where he had been manager o
the Greenfield Farmers Oil Company.

S85 Million AT
Stake In Quota
Election: Olsen

ain three previous wheat quota
elections Montana farmers played a
major role in preventing a devastating
sag in Montana's economy" said At
torney General Arnold Olsen today
in appealing to the states wheat
growers to once again vote over
whelmingly for marketing quotas
when they go to the polls Friday,
July 20.
"That the nations grain growers
again give quotas at least the re-
quired two-thirds vote of all grow
ers voting is imperative to the eco
nomic well-being of practically every
Montana person." the Democratic
gubernatorial nominee continued.
contingent on quotas receiving the
required two-thirds approval, the U.
S. Department of Agriculture has set
the 1857 support price at $500.
Should marketing quotas not receive
the necessary two-thirds vote, then,
the price of wheat will fall to approx
imately $1.05 a bushel.
This 95 cents-a-bushel loss,
translated into terms of income to
Montana amounts to approxim ately
IS millions of dollars" Olsen
stated. Defeat of the quotas would
bring financial chaos and hardship
to farmers, businessmen and wage
earners alike in most parts of our
predominantly agricultural state.
81 sincerely hope all Montana wheat
farmers will exercise their franchise
at the marketing quota election next
Friday and will give quotas an even
greater yes vote than the 87.2 per
cent vote favoring quotas last year"
Olsen said in concluding his appeal.

The Senate Armed Services Com
mittee favorably reported to the full
Senate late last month authorization
for the SAGE project. The bill specifi-
cally states:
"The Secretary of the Air Force is
authorized to procure communication
services required for semi-automatic

procuring such services, the Secretary
of the Air Force shall utilize to the
fullest extent the facilities and capa-
bilities of communication common
carriers, including rural telephone
co-operatives, within their service
areas and for power supply shall
utilize to the fullest extent the facili-
ties and capabilities of public utilities
and rural electric co-operatives with

Committee had amended the Air

project to include rural telephone CO.
