Just so long as our govern
ment continues to spend money
by the billions, there will be no
material cut in taxes and we will
keep on spending for this, that
and the "tother'. Real Ameri-
cans do not object to paying
necessary taxes but they have
the right to object to waste and
useless expenditure. The same is
equally to state, county and
municipality.

Fifty-eight years ago last Sun
day morning the weather in
Noble county was the coolest
ever before known here, at
which time the temperature
dropped to forty degrees below
zero with not a heating fire in
Caldwell-both gas lines having
been frozen up and coal not be-
ing used here for heating pur-
poses at the time. In some other
sections of Noble county the
temperature even went two or
three degrees lower. The date
was February 10, 1899.

During the years that Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
has been a member of President
Eisenhower's cabinet and will
continue to so be, he has con-
tinually been assailed and har-
angued by his political oppon-

has finally cracked back" with
a vengeance that has caused the
opponents to sit up and take
notice.
High-class Communist Tito has
finally said that if he should
receive an invitation to come to
the United States on visit, he
will not accept it. In short, that
would be highly agreeable to all
loyal Americans. Tito is presi-
dent of Yugoslavia but he feels
that the atmosphere in this
country is not suitable to his
complexion. And at present it
is not.

FREEDOM Seen HIT

NEW YORK-Federal Judge Ha-.
old R. Medina says he would "rathe1
see every Communist go scot free
than abandon or water down" any
part of the Bill of Rights, particularly
the Fifth Amendment.
Judge Medina, who presided over
the 1949 trial of top American Com
munist leaders, said an "open attack
was under way on a basic American
freedom, "the right of person to
refuse to incriminate himself"
The jurist, now a United States
Court of Appeals judge, spoke at the
80th annual Washington's Birthday
banquet of the Sons of the Revolu-
tion in New York. He received the
organizations gold medal award for
outstanding civic achievements.
In the present atmosphere, Judge
Medina said, "some or all of our
freedoms" under the Bill of Rights
are being threatened. These include,
he said, "free speech, freedom of re-
ligion, equality of all men under the
law, and freedom from unreasonable
searches and seizures" as we'll as the
right against standardization.
He indicated that the attack on the
Fifth Amendment, guaranteeing per-
sons against Standardization, was
most severe.

nation extends to Communists as we'll

Bankers Get Relief, You Cef
The Business

Why bankers should be granted by overwhelming legsa
margins relief of 400 cent certain types
bank capital and credits beyond my comprehension to
understand
Aside the fact that the bankers admit they
26 cent profit after all including taxes
their capital Investments there other for
onng legislative wisdom in dropping their tax classification
from 80 to per cent (under SB 15).
Money to bankers what drygoods inventory to dry
goods store what inventory to store
what hardware inventory is to hardware store Money is
unlike inventories of goods groceries hardware does not
become shopwo subject to spoage breakage Readily
is that desirable inventory than goods
which be converted into only by customer purchase
and payment
Yet the legislature has shown disposition to consider
dropping the 25 classification for
chants inventories of goods five other cent
Why then, in view of the much desirable inventory
qualities of the bankers singled out for tax relief to
the tune of an estimated 1887 900 year?
Particularly is that question order when considers
the fact that this legislature has fit to hike the state
load of every other economic inerendvdual and
porate-n Montana and also has fit to make large
number of adjustments upwards in outgo by the
which much order yet that
the various counties will have to levy higher property
taxes in order to meet these higher COSTS Taking $4,000

Suggests A Diogenes To
Find "Honest Democrats"

Editor of the Peoples Voice:
1t is during these dismaying times
when the people of the proud common :
wealth of Montana are being assailed
by certain members of the State Legis-
lature, that one becomes more apprecia-
tive than ever of the worth of your
paper.
Probably, in a sense, am both naive
and maudlin in assuming that a major
ity of men, honest both in conscience
and ideals, can yet earnestly do a serv-
ice for the people of our State. Appar-
emily, one cannot assume that the label
under which a man presents himself to
the people will guarantee that his
services will be honest and honorable.
For whatever it may be worth, one
can yet hope that in the days to come
there may be time and perhaps, pur-
pose in trying to design Diogenes-li like
device that will unerringly find the
candidates who will be honest Demo-
Gratis. l am still certain that the voice
of the people can be forcefully heard
and that we can yet purge our legisla-
tive halls of those individuals who seek
only to achieve their own selfish ends
at the expense of the seemingly apa-
thetic and helpless tax paying individ-
ual.
| can only offer you encoura cement
in the good work you are doing, and
assure you that the competent and con-
cerned citiZenry of our State will yet
bring democracy, Democrats, and good
government into it's own. Give my very
kindest regards to Gretchen Yours very

neither showed Rep. Strnisha as votx

WASHINGTON, D. Cost of
living advances, changes in U. S.
grain standards, veterans affairs, ap-
pointments to military academies,
and host of other matters kept me
moving at a fast pace this week in
Congress.
Here Is one of the sample days
Left home at 7:30; arrived office
am, checked through mail; 9 am,
Rocky Mountain congressional group
met to discuss legislation for our re-
gion; 10 am, had to try and get
to three committee meetings, all
scheduled between 10 and noon. Went
to my Banking and Currency Com
mittee to support savings and loan
association legislation, thence to
House Agriculture Committee to tes-
tify against changing U. S. standards
for wheat as a move to cause still
further lowering of farm prices in
Montana; thence to Veterans Com
construction of an annex to Fort
Harrison VA Hospital as is being
urged by Montana veterans groups.
The House always convenes at
noon and it was then two minutes
after IL, so at high lope, took off
through the subway across to the
Capitol, arriving in time for roll call
session. During the day there were
two roll calls, the first one because
one of the opposite party members,
who must have been feeling grouchy,
demanded it, since it requires only
one congressman to demand a roll
call if quorum is not present. The
second gathering was to hear Premier
Guy Mollet Of France. Returned to
office at pm. Remembered then I
hadn't had lunch, SO had cup of
chocolate brought. into office, then
went through another stack of mail,

We're in process of assembling a
compilation of how legislators voted
on all major tax measures to come
before either or both houses. This
compilation will include tax bills con-
cerning individuals, corporations,

bankers, etc. Once completed, this
information will be available for any
and all who wish to peruse it.

Senator Hibbs dealt rather low
blow Sunday afternoon when the de-
bate started on the weight-distance
bill.
Senator Reardon, just plain guy
like you and me, and not a silver
tongued orator like Attorney Hibbs,
led off in the fight to pass the truck
tax measure. Now Senator Reardon
wanders around bit when he talks
and had moved away from his desk,
when Senator Hibbs, blowing with
anger, rose to a point of order and
insisted the Silverbow Senator stand
at his desk to talk.
Reardon went back to his desk, and
with some difficulty stayed there,
and kept right on fighting for the
weight-distance bill.
However, when Senator Clark
stood up to support Reardon on the
weight-distance bill CLARK is apt to
wander a ways from his desk too)
he put his chair in front of him $50
he wouldn't get away from his desk
and offend Senator Hibbs", he said.
Many people have argued with me
about my stand on interim commit
tees in the last ten weeks-but | am
through arguing after this session
The 1855 legislature set up an in
term committee to bring in an equit-
able weight distance taX-spent a
considerable sum of money-and then
the 1857 legislature wouldn't accept
the committees work-because the
truckers didn't like it.
The 1855 legislature gave the Mon
tana Trade Commission 20 thousand |
dollars to study gasoline prices in
Montana and the 1857 session turned |
down every one of their recommenda-
tions.
But back in 1851 a legislative in
5erim committee worked for two
years going over the welfare laws
and came in with recommendation to
put the screws on the old people and
you couldn't touch a legislator with
4 ten foot pole to talk against the
bills, and most of them passed.
1t is going to take more than in
ERIN committees to pull Montana out
# the legislative quagmire it is in.
And when the boys go back home

are talking it here-ask

the corporation license tax?-then
did they vote to get income tax on
Montana investments from people liv.
ing outside the state?
Until some of these things are
done, these people better keep quiet
about sales taX-it isn't really
delicate conversation.
And if they say the tax laws could
be studied and Strengthened out if
people like Gretchen Billings would
stop fighting interim committees
you might find out how many bills
passed in the 1857 session that even

etc.
Last week | mentioned what lack
of leadership from the Governors
office can do said raise havoc"
and it certainly has-the Governor
is rollicking in it.
Highway programs have meant the
political death knell of more than one
governor-though few have so assidi-
ously pounded the nails for their cof-
fin as has the present one.
He let his party move unhampered
to kill the weight-distance tax on
trucks he even sent letter to
the House saying ION this as on other
bills | will make up my mind when
the bill comes to my desk".
He wrote the letter because he
thought there was some misunder-
standing that he was for the bill.
The Governor is an accessory after
the fact in the death of the weight
distance truck taxing bill
1t was only after HB 326 had been
killed that the Senate amended the
7-cent gas tax bill down to cents
and sent terror through the executive
ranks, and left the chief burning the
midnight oil.
After the one cent was taken from
funds, artificial respiration
vas applied to HB 326-but only
nomentarily-because as | write it
les gasping for breath on the desk
If the Secretary of the Senate. and
10 one will go near enough to ad-
first aid.
With HB 326 revived the Governor
inally decided to speak-but did he
lsk for passage of 326 that would
'ring equity to highway financing?
He did not.
He said the highway program need
ID the l cent being paid by the pas
enger car owners that the Senate
lad taken from the 7-cent bill.
The Fact Finding Committee re-
ort, supported by the Governors
Highway Commission, said if the
'eight-distance bill did not pass, to
ave an equitable highway financing
rogram the gas tax should be de-
reased to about 4.8 cents.
The Governor should have stayed
his ivory tower where he ran when
ne truckers said "shoo". Because
hen he came out he was not carry
lg a torch of justice and equity
Just as he allowed his party to kill
ax equalization bills and didn't raise
hand against the people picking up
he check he didn't rasie his voice on
he highway financing until the legis-
ture moved to bring little equity
the people.
The last days of trying legislative
1sslon have produced more partisan
'tlvity than was noted, on the sur
ice, the 81 preceding days. Demo
ats first cut the gas tax one cent
hen the Republicans refused to CO.
'erate on the weight-distance truck
x law, and then the resolution of
insure brought full blown political
eeches from the Republican side of
e House. And-there may be still
ore to come.
