WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

may be no need for the legislature
to put gum-shoes out or carry on
full scale investigation.
We hear an investigation is already
going on-that by the time the legis-
lature convenes next year case
may already be prepared for legis-
lative perusal and consideration, in
which case it will only be a matter
of deciding what to do to the culprits
(if any and what to do to avoid
other such incidents.
We hear the present investigation
has produced several interesting, f
shocking, possibilities, but lacks too
much at this point for anything to
be said to anyone. Doesn't that make
you wild with curiosity and make you
wish you hadn't heard about it in
the first place?

A week or so ago there was front
page story in the Great Falls Tribune
about the court test presently under
way on the 1866 Redistribution law.
This is the law causing so much
dollar dolour around the state. 1t
was signed in final form by Governor
Aronson containing single word
that had been amended out of the
bill by the legislature. The error was
not noted until many weeks after
it had become law.
The insertion of the word that
may be fatal to the bill came about,
apparently, after it had been passed
$50 in the House of Representative
and 37-14 in the Senate-somewhere
in the final compiling of the bill.
The Tribune noted there is talk
around the Capitol of an investiga-
ton during the next session to see
how such a thing could happen and
who would be responsible for it as
we'll as how to avoid things happen
ing in the future. However, there

THAT CONTROVERSY
over THE METGALF
RECREATION BILL

Frequently, sportSmen who are
worried over the possibilities of great
er federal control over recreation
on public lands, write in to the
VOICE in criticism of the Metcalf
Recreation bill HR 1928.
Latest of these was Otis E. Harri-
son of Poison whose letter was pub
lished in recent issue of the VOICE.
Harrison expressed the opinion that
the Metcalf bill would give to the
Secretary of Agriculture far too
much authority to prescribe regula-
lions regarding use of forest lands
by the general public.
In view of this, we are reprinting
herewith our conclusion as to HR
1928, earlier published in July 20,
1855 issue of this paper:
''.. Under present law authority
to charge and collect fee for recre-
ational use of public lands already
exists. The Forest Service is charg-
ing fees to concessioners on some
fifty of the larger areas under con-
troll of that agency, and use charges
are made to recreation seekers on a
of larger areas. At the pres
ent time the money taken in from
such fees goes into the general fund
not for recreational area develop
ment purposes.
A primary purpose of HR 1928 is
to earmark such funds taken in for
development and maintenance of for
EST recreation areas. HR 1923, to |
luote the U. S. Dept. Of Agriculture
would make it possible for the For
est Service to operate some large
areas on a charge basis by |
expenditures of the re-
;eipts. Our experience with conces- |
ioner operations shows that a recre-
ltional areas must receive at least |
10000 visits during the recreational |
eason in order to yield a reasonable
profit after paying the costs of fee
sanitation, cleanup and
ordinary maintenance.
"Of the 400 public recreation
Ireas on the national forests, not
more than 200 receive over 10000
lists and are otherwise suitable for
harging. These 200 areas, however,
ccount for about one-fourth of the
% million visits which our improved
ecreation areas receive" end of
uote.
HR 1923, instead of opening up all
'orest Service areas for fee charging
or recreational use, actually, under
zee. d, limits fee charges to areas
hat are substantially improved where
special services or facilities are
rovided, and for which estimated
mounts to be collected in a fiscal
ear justify the expenditures neces-
airy to make the collections"
There is no question as to the alb
olute (if not always used) authority
he federal agency now has to charge ]
ees for recreational use of the for ;
SITS. HR 1923, will put some limits
n that control by limiting the charges
nd at the same time prevent the {
easing of our national forests to
concessioners. I

"PICKHANDLE" is NO MYTH

'PICKHANDLE" is NO MYTH
Imagine my CONSERVATION! | have
been accused of having a ''vivid
imagination" in the Creation" of
the gentleman I spoke about in my
column last week, "Pick Handle
Swede," who is considering, and not
lightly, running for Governor on the
Republican ticket.
Believe me he is no Pigment of my
imagination. He is flesh and blood
handsome hunk of man.
1t is only because he has not made
up his mind for sure about running
that l agreed not to use his full name
By the way, l have been informed
by his main supporters that l mis-
spelled his name, he is called "Pick-
handle Swede." He is called that be-
cause he would go out and work with
pick all day, so diligently, that he
came home at night with only the
pickhandle left.
l suppose you would call him a
Teddy Roosevelt Republican, of whom
there are so few left today, because
he is liberal for a Republican, and
with faith in the democratic processes
so few Republicans seem to evidence
For instance, his views on educa-
ton that l picked out of a pile of
papers labeled "Views of Pickhandle
Swede"
1t started out "Pickhandle Swede
On Federal Aid to Schools, and con-
5inued, 81 cannot agree with The
Ialloper' Hugo Aronson who has
elected Montana's right to receive
federal funds in aid to Montana
schools. The high taxes Montanans
Jay each year to their federal gov
.rnment are going to be spent in
,ther states for education. Why |
houldn't Montana receive a return |
m their high tax dollar? Now, l am
against federal controls and l pledge |
hat if | am elected Governor, Mon
ana will share in the distribution of
he tax dollar, and more, I pledge
90 that if any foreigner from Wash
ngton, d. G. ever comes into Mon
ana and attempts to tell Montana
eople who they are going to hire
S teachers, what can Or cannot be
aught in Montana schools, he will
e promptly sent back to Washing
on, and "we will see who is boss in
hese parts"
When | read that | suggested he
hould add "Rough-and-Ready Pick
andle Swede'' to his already descrip-
i've nickname.
Pickhandle Swede is a sensitive
ort of guy, in spite of his tremen-
Gus physical strength. That is prob
bly, why he has a great compassion
Or people, and l will have to stop
cling you about him if you think
lis is joke and laff about what I
ay. He is serious guy and l would
OF want him to be hurt by all this.
In all Of the hub-bub over the pas ,,
age of the Natural Gas Bill in the
nited States Senate, one of the
reatest contributing factors for it's
lccess has received the least notice,
think.
Senator Lynden Johnson (D-Tex.)
.ajority leader, handled the political
aneuvering that accounted for the
nazing success of the bill
1t was not by accident that the
atural Gas Bill took precedent over
her important legislation-like the

purpose of bargaining it's successful
conclusion.
The same people put over the
Natural Gas Bill as put over the
Tideland Oil Bill. They were Senators
from the oil states.
1t might be conceivable to forgive
those senators for pushing legisla
ton of this sort, oil millionaires are
formidable people, but it is beyond
comprehension why other Democrats
should help them.
Why would Montana's senators
turn against their natural inclinations
and their friends like Senator Leh-
man, Senator Douglas, Senator
Morse?
1t must have been big stick WELD
ed by Senator Johnson-his position
in relation to legislation in the Sen
ate is imposing.
But people who support Democrats
like Murray and Mansfield would
rather see their Senators lose in
their behalf if it is a good fight.
AS the vote on the Natural Gas
Bill turned out Montana's senators
could have voted against it and IL
still would have won. However, their
influence is such, their activity
against it might have made it possible
to kill the bill.
1t will prove an expensive move
for Montana gas consumers even if
it was in anticipation of Senator
Johnson's support on their own re-
spective political fronts.
Certainly Montana had nothing to
gain by strengthening the monopoly
that already has a stranglehold on
its people.
The vast wealth concentrated in
oil and gas interests oozes into every
corner of this vast country. Oil money
runs into every state in the nation
fer political purposes the year around.
Oil money contributed to the near
defeat of both Montana Senators the
asst time they ran for office.
If it is, as many believe, oil money
hat keeps Martin Littleton on TV
n the Billings area, it is hardly con-
.eivable he will be any more tender
oward Democrats in Montana during
he next election.
The first kilograms sent to Sena-
ors came from Chambers of Com
nerce. Chambers of Commerce are
lot known for their support of is
ues that help you and me.
