How can a farm afford
the special services it needs?

Farming like any other industry -.
needs the eficiencies and economies of
specialized departments.
The farm business needs a sales de-
partment and purchasing department
:. someone to counsel on insurance
and credit and many more depart
ments to work out important problems.
If it weren't for cooperatives, most
farmers couldn't afford these special
lied services. Purchasing cooperatives
supply materials and products of high
est quality at lowest possible cost. Mar
keting cooperatives help improve the
quality of produce and sell it at the
most favorable prices. Mutual insur-
ance companies provide protection at
lowest cost. Credit associations lend
money for farm operations.
These cooperatives make farming
more business-like and more profitable.

the assumption that any person pos
sessing gun or purchasing ammuni-
ton is criminal" They said the
proposed revisions are San invasion
of the rights and privileges of sports
men, and ''would work hardship on
Dealers"
Most of the dealers in Montana,
they said, "have neither the time,
the personnel nor the storage space"
to maintain the permanent records
that would be required.
In offering the proposals, the Mon
tana delegation said, the Service "has
gone far beyond it's proper field of
regulation and invaded the field of
legislation"
Anderson said he would introduce
a bill in January to nullify the new
regulations if they are put into eff
feet.
Other congressman were Just as
upset as Montanans. Congressman
Dingell of Michigan closed his at
tack on this bureaucratic regula-
ton" of sportsmen with the state
ment: eff we had had this sort of
control under King George, we would
not be free nation today" Senator
Marlborough of Texas said: ga rural
homeowner would need a federal re-
ceipt if he wanted to protect his
chickens from a chicken hawk. Who
is afraid of the people? This thing
smacks of police state"
At conclusion of the hearings. the |
chairman announced that briefs sup
porting or opposing the proposed |
changes will be received for the next |
30 days. The final decision will be
announced after that.
Montanans in Congress have gone
back to the Post Office Department |
in the hassle over the agency's pro-
posal to close the airmail facility at |
the Billings airport.
Airmail is now handled at a sepa-
rate office at the airport and is
loaded on the next available plane.
In the interests. of economy and eff
ficiency'', the Department proposes
to shut down this office, take the
mail into town, handle it there, and |
bring it back to the airport.
President E. A. Christensen of the
Billings branch of the National Postal
Transport Association estimates that |
the additional transportation charges
will be greater than the present an
nual rental on the airport building,
and that airmail will be delayed "a
hours by shutting it back and forth
between the airport and the city of
flee.
Christiansen's first point is that
the change would be uneconomical,
his second that it would be ineffi-
cient, the delegation wrote the De-
partment's regional director.
INDIAN HOSPITALS
The Public Health Service has as
;ured the Montana congressional del
egation that it is working on the
,riteria and regulations necessary to
put into effect the delegations In
lian Hospital program.
Under the new law, the Public
Health Service can chip in to help
,uild or remodel community hospitals
instead of building hospitals for In
lians alone.
Once the PHS has drawn up its
health officers can modi-
y their state plans accordingly.
When he was in Washington last
week, DR.. G. D. Carlyle Thompson,
executive officer of the Montana
State Board of Health, joined the
delegation and representatives of the
public Health Service in a discussion
# the new program and other Mon
ana hospital problems.

FAR-FLUNG CONSTITUENTS

In addition to a lot of mail from
home, Montanans in Congress get
letters from around the world.
The other day, the Carens brothers,
J. and r.. who sell "petrol and oil
products" in Westerlo, Belgium,
wrote Senator Murray, saying they
were interested in buying second
hand truck to make their business
more efficient.
From what Montana filling sta
tion operators have told me of their
difficulties, said Murray, 81 can only
admire your spirit for attempting it. -
Three years ago, when Congress
man Metcalf polled Lincoln county
registered voters on how they felt
about proposed Libby Dam, he got
one letter from Rangoon, Burma,
from Jack zimmerman, who main
tanned his voting residence in Lin
coin county while working abroad.
FIREARMS
Congressman Anderson presented
Montana's case against proposals by
the Internal Revenue Service to make
drastic changes in regulations cover
ing firearms and ammunition.
Protests from sportsmen and deal
ers in arms and ammunition poured
in following the publication in May
of the administrative agency's pro-
posals. They included requirements
that weapons carry serial numbers,
purchasers sign for the guns and
ammunition they buy, and that deal
ers keep permanent records on sale
of guns and ammunition.
For two days last week, Director
Dwight Avis of IRS's Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax Division presided at a
hearing on the proposals.
Montanans in Congress said the
proposals are apparently based on

(NOTE: We're shutting down fol
the summer).
A House subcommittee, on which
Congressman Metcalf serves, calls
for a greatly expanded research and
development program for the "sick''
coal industry.
The report, now being printed,
followed a 15-month study by the
seven man subcommittee, which
pointed to an Overall picture of eco
nomic ills, widespread mine shut
downs, staggering unemployment
among coal miners and an uphill
struggle for survival"
u. S. coal reserves, expected to
last for several hundred years." are
"this nations greatest mineral re-
source available for immediate de-
velopment and use," the report said.
"The development of this great
resource and revival of this industry
should be a national undertaking of
the highest priority"
Major recommendation is establish
ment of an Independent Coal Re-
search and Development Commission,
appointed by the President. 1t would
work with the Bureau of Mines and
other agencies to set up "a broad
gauged research program to develop
new uses for coal, improve and ex-
pand existing uses, reduce cost of
coal production and distribution, and
emphasize uses and developments of
particular value to smaller coal pro-
ducers."
The Commission would have an
initial appropriation of So million to
co-sponsor and coordinate research
programs.
