I shall overlook the inference as to
my apparent political persuasions"
since such charges are old stuff to this
Editor. However, as to defending
fascists: Most assuredly, we not only
would-but have-defended their rights
to freedom of thought and expression
AS for fascist activities" we would no
more defend overt acts by them aimed
at destroying our government than we
would overt acts by Communists which
were aimed a setting up totalitarian
dictatorship in America. But, there is
a big difference between what person
things and says and what he does. You
can't send a man to jail for thinking
and talking about robbing a bank, and
the same should hold true of the poll
tical thoughts a man may hold and ex-
press-as long as holding and express
ing such thoughts do not lead to overt
acts aimed at overthrowing the gov
eminent.

KNOWS He's Guilty =.
But Hopes HeIlman Is
Innocent

Editor, The Peoples Voice
Helena, Montana
Dear Sir,
The outstanding characteristic of
your April 18th editorial re John He'll
man was it's separation from fact and
reason. In it you parroted a line all
too familiar to readers of left-Wing
publications. However, 1 am certain
that that was not your intention, and
would be pleased if you would listen
to the facts.
In the first place, you stated that
Hellman was taken into court in hand
cuffs for what he is supposed to think"
Wrong. He was arrested for knowingly
taking part in a conspiracy dedicated to
the overthrow of the government by
force and violence. The government
cannot control a mans thoughts. 1t
can control his activities, the products
of his thoughts, and rightfully restraints
men from reasonable activities.
Next you make a paradoxical asser-
ton that not only is the Montana Com
munist Party extinct, but it has 60
members, Please make up your mind.
OF course the Party is legally extinct.
The amazing thing is that a traitorous
organization was ever considered legal.
Incidentally, if you think the Commu-
mist Party is innocuous. why do you
try to comfort us by telling us that

the Justice Department watches it
closely?
1t would be interesting to see what
editorial, support you would give to a
man arrested for fascist activities.
Would you defend his right" to be
what he is? I doubt it. People of your
apparent political persuasions usually
tolerate only one totalitarian philoso-
ply.
1 am looking forward to Hellman's
trial. I hope he is innocent. Sincerely
yours.-PATRICK w. NAGLE, Carroll
College, Helena.
EDITORS NOTE: My young critic
appears to have fallen into trap in
his presumption that Hellman is guilty
of a crime-even though he hopes he
is innocent. AS Judge Murray so ably
pointed out last week (see editoriaD
the determination of a mans innocence
or guilt is "a proper matter for court
and court only-to ascertain. Going
from there, Pat contends Hellman was
arrested for knowingly taking part
in a conspiracy dedicated to the over
throw of the government by force
and violence :" If Pat knows of any
overt act by the accused aimed at vio-
lent overthrow of our government, then,
his proper place to reveal his Informal
ton is in federal court when Hellman
is jumping at conclusions, then, L sug-
gest little browsing into American
Jurisprudence and assimilating of the
doctrine that "a man is innocent until
proven guilty" The latter is quite basic
to American justice.
So far as 1 know, the Communist
party is not legally extinct. But, for
all practical purposes, that party is
dead in Montana. Although the FBI is
watching the few CP members in Mon
tana closely, that is not the real rea-
son it is "innocuous." The real reason,
Pat, is that it has repeatedly offered
it's wares but buyers have been few and
far between. Most of us much prefer
our democratic way of life to any form
of dictatorship. Some of US, Pat, are
willing to risk the scorn and the brick
bats of our felloWmen to preserve tina
democracy from being eroded away
in the name of saving America from

Smile When You Say
That Pardner

Continued From Last Week)
Mr. Murray is grossly in error in
all his statistics, and in correcting him
l quote the Bonneville Power Admin
istration, which should take precedence
over the statistics ground out by the
propaganda mill of a superannuated
politician whose relatives and hangers
on have to do most of the administra-
ton of his office in order to keep him
on Uncle Sans payroll. Hungry Horse
generated $50, 100000 XVIII during the
year ending June Goth, 1866, and mar
keted 1t for S2,296,344, or at the Bonnie
Vile composite rate of "a mills per
XVIII or S2125 per XIV year.
Mr.. Murray made just one correct
statement when he said taxes were
non existent at Hungry Horse. We
agree on that perfectly, However it
can be shown that if the dam was pri
vately owned and assessed at only half
it's cost, Flathead county would be re-
ceiving S1,S24,000 in taxes per year
instead of nothing as of now, and there
is no fiction about that.
Bonneville Power Administration, in
Guiding Hungry Horse Dam, serves no
more than about 125 customers, in the
whole northwest all at wholesale, all
big business, and pays no taxes. Mon
tana Power Co. serves 1877, 900 voters
and customers of which l am one, pays
more than $8.000,000 or 300 of their
gross receipts in taxes, and still serves
the REAs and other customers with
power at less cost than that charged
by the government. The slogan, low
cost government power, is a propa-
ganda myth put out by Senator Murray
for motives he only can eXplain.-E J.
PARKINSON, Great Falls.
EDITORS NOTE: Now, wherever in the
world did f.. j. get the notion Mon
tana Power pays taxes. Such an as
sertion is far beneath the intelligence
level we have always credited him as
possessing. He knows-just as I
that MPCo as a utility only collects
taxes; that it's rate structure is so
set to assure the monopoly of making
a profit on every tax dollar it collects
from it's consumers.
Indulging in fantasy, and not a
little bit of name calling on his own
part may be perfectly permissible
when he is fencing with politicians,
but "E. j." should know better than
to try and stuff such nonsense down
the threats of the highly intelligent
Montanans who make up the VOICE
family of readers.
