Among other things, Mr..

put his arms around Hoffa's
shoulders and said, I'm look

RepuIsed by Beck
Mr.. Kennedy also told the
committee that Dave Beck
once fought an effort by Hoffa
to bring Dio directly into the
Transfers Union as head of a
local organizing taxicab drivers
in New York City.
The committee counsel said

Hoffa was instrumental in NIB

said in an opening statement
that Hoffa had the help of the
racketeers in winning control

this was the least of our worries. And we hope to keep it that
way. So
WHAT THESE ISLAND need is concentrated econo-
mic development, a program of social and political reform
which removes much of the clumsineSS of action, and finally
a spirit of unity and cooperation. Insofar as this new organi-
zation is dedicated to focusing its efforts on any segment of
the community towards these ends, this new group has a
significant contribution to make.
WE HOPE THAT the Pro Unidad Puertoriquenos, Islas
Virgenes will have a long and productive life, and that it will
set out towards the accomplishment Of its detectives, remem-
.bering that least Of its concerns is the improvement of rela-
tons between people Of distinct racial origin"

UNIMPORTANT ITEM

THE FORMED organization comprised exclu-
sively Of Puerto Ricans for the purpose Of promoting unity
among Spanish-speaking peoples of the community is off to
a good start. Judging from its purposes and detectives the
Pro. Unidad Puertoriquenos, Islas Vrgenes" should serve all
ST. Croix well.
IN M there is always much work to
be done in human relations, in getting people to know, and
understand, and appreciate each other better and thus pave
the way for prompt and effective action on those matters and
programs which make for the betterment all around. No one
can doubt that with such a considerable segment of the popu-
lation comprised of Spanish-speaking people an organization
whose purpose is to foster the development of their personal
benefits is a step in the right direction.
ACCORDING TO organization there are six an
nounced aims and motives ranging all the way from the seek
ing of greater representation in the affairs of the Government
to the appointment of positions for members of the group.
While it is true that the group supposedly is non-poitical and
non-parhsan, the truth Of the matter is that the very strength
of organization will have its impact at the polls with the re-
sultant recognition in the customary ways OF politics. But that
is neither undesirable nor unusual. The truth of the matter
is that all citizens can, and should, be affected by politics
regardless of how remote. We agree that they should seek
the representation expressed in their aims and detectives.
ITEM d. OF THESE aims, however, seems not only
unnecessary, but iniects an element which should be COM
pletely foreign to all phases of our life in these parts. This
item reads:
ID To improve relations between people of distinct
racial origin in the Virgin Islands.
While it is true that all races are represented in the popula-l
ton in these Islands it had been our understanding up to
this time that relations between these groups was excellent;
that democracy was operating in its tuest sense, and that

'MOnfUnH Ihis Week"

r. F. Juedeman of Toole county
who has served in the house oil
representatives during the last
three sessions, was quick to chal-
lenge Mr.. Cannon's assessment OF
blame. He said the Democratic 1t
Governor land his party must bear
the full responsibility for these
measures" and that Mr.. Cannon's
Bozeman speech was a weak
apology for an inefficient job of
leadership in finding a solution
to these financial problems"
So there we have charge and
countercharge with nothing really
substantial or convincing in sup
port.
From various sources come ex-
pressions of appreciation lest the
taxes levied by the recent legis-
lative assembly to meet the ap-
preparations will fall short of that
objective. / think there is justi-
fication for some such concern.
If during the next two years eco
nomic conditions in Montana are
relatively as favorable as they
have been for a rather long per-
iod, the legislative estimate of
additional general fund revenue
may be realized. But If there
should be even a slight economic
recession, the state treasury prob
ably will have insufficient funds
to meet the authorized expendi-
lures. This is a situation-a gam
ble-every legislature is confront
ed with.
A widespread economic reverse,
such as drought or drastic cur
tailment of industrial and business
activity, could have an almost dis
astrous effect on tax revenues, as
some of us so well remember. /
believe we are much better able
to cope with such conditions today,
but | feel it is an unsafe assump-
ton that government tax revenue
can always be maintained at pres
ent ratios.
Although of unprecedented
magnitude. the fiscal problems the
1857 legislature had to contend
with were nothing new. During
the many years l have reported
Montana legislatures, financing
has been a chronic difficulty. So
long as we as citizens demand
ever more service from govern
ment, we might as well reconcile
ourselves to the fact that gov
eminent is going to cost us in
creasingly more.
Perhaps throughout the nation
there is now an awakening to that
fact, even though as yet there ap-
pears to be little inclination to
any of the special benefits
we get from governmental expen-
ditures. Protests against the enor-
nifty of the Eisenhower budget
seem to be influencing thinking
N the states as to their govern
mental costs. The current uproar
IN Montana political circles sug-
gests that a reaction is beginning
here.
The Sidney herald., 1957-05-09

HELENA At Democratic
Jefferson-Jackson dinners in Boze,
man and Billings, 1t. Gov. Pau.
cannon famed the smoulderine
emoers of an interparty dispute
mat fiared during the 1857 legis-
lauve session in which each party
tried to put the other on the spot
regarding solution of the state
governments fiscal difficulties.
State general fund appropria-
tons for the biennium beginning
July l this year were upped APP
proximately one-third to a record
high and new or additional taxes
were levied according to a sched-
ule which it was estimated would
take care of the increase. Such a
situation could hardly escape be-
coming a major state political is
use, and now, long before the
formal start of the 1858 campaign
1T is already being projected upon
the political scene.
In this years session the Demo-
Gratis had numerical control of
both houses of the assembly. For
all practical purposes in most in
stances, the Democratic majority
IN the house of representatives
was solid enough to be decisive,
although there were a few Demo-
Gratis who dissented on some &C.
casions. In the senate, however,
five or six Democrats refused in
several notable cases to go along
with their party leadership and
voted with the Republicans.
Such differences as Republican
Gov. j. Hugo Aronson had with
the Democratic legislative organ
ization we're largely below the
surface, but despite this seeming
general harmony there was of
course political maneuvering, some
of which had to do with whose
responsibility it was to make spe-
cific recommendations as to tax
increases.
For the kettle now to call the
pot black is not, in my opinion,
consistent with the facts, in re-
lation particularly to increased
appropriations and new or addi-
tional taxes. The Republicans were
more resistant to pressure groups
but with some exceptions their
firmness was not comparable with
the rock of Gibraltar. l believe
most members of both parties
were deeply concerned over the
costs of government due
in part to initiation, and certainly
there was a prevailing anxiety
about how much deeper govern
ment could dig into the pockets of
the people.
In undertaking to pass the
blame to the opponent party, po-
litical spokesman appear to be
very careful not to get out of the
realm of generalities. For example,
1t. Gov. Cannon was quoted as
at Bozeman that tax laws
enacted by the 1857 legislature
are obnoxious and unfair" Any
is usually obnoxious to the
person who has to pay it, if that
is what he meant. And if he meant
in view of the already crush
ing load of federal taxes, ~increas-
ing state taxes is unfair, l can
agree with him on that as a gen.
eral proposition.
