Connecticut Resolution

The Connecticut correspondence
would amend the United States Com

This type of legislation would be

Farm Bureau
Rolls Drop Off

Montana Farm Bureau, only
publicly announced organiza-
ton supporting mis- named
''right-to-work" legislation, is
not doing so we'll in retaining
it's membership, according to
the April issue of it's publica-
ton, MONTANA AGRICUL-
TURE. a
Farm Bureau membership, accord
ing to MA, for 1858 is only So per
cent of the 1857 membership total
with 1,46O members listed as having
paid this years dues. The approx
mately $500 Farm Bureau members
in 1857 represented a loss of more
than 800 from the high of $500 a
couple of years previously.
Such Bureau strongholds as Park,
Madison and Gallatin-the latter
which pioneered FB activity in Mon
tana-are tagging far behind 1857
membership totals. Gallatin, which
had about 45O members four years
ago, had a 1858 total of only 103 as
of last month. In Madison county the
Bureau as of April had attracted only
seven members, or 16 per cent of the
1857 total.
Even in Lewis & Clark, home of
State Farm Bureau president George
Diehl, FB Jagged badly as of April
with 1858 membership of 83 being
only At per cent of the 1857 total.
The "why' of declining Farm Bu-
reau fortunes in Montana hasn't as
yet been definitely determined. but
observers point out that in addition
to the organizations backing of |
"right-to-work", there is much dis
satisfaction among rural people over
the Bureaus supporting enactment
of a general sales tax.
Grain growers are also particu-
larly dissatisfied over Farm Bu-
reau propaganda urging them to
vote mo" on wheat quotas at the
June 20 referendum. A "yes'' vote
on quotas, wheat producers point
out, will ensure Montana growers
of $1.81 bushel on the 1859 crop.
A No" vote will reduce the sup
port price to $1.O0 bushel.

Rev. Norman, chairman of tn,

Pastor H. r. Anderson met YESTERDAY
with the Board of Examiners to dis
cuss the strategy to be used in gain

programs at Montana's institutions
There is prospect that some salary
increase for these religious personnel
now thinly spread over the inmates
of the prison, state hospital and state
sanitarium can be wheedled from the
current budgets.
The long range plans to extend
the "grace of Gods men" must
either be. in the institutional budgets
now in the formation stage in the
budget by the controller, or by line
appropriation of the legislature which
would insure that the institution
would not dip into their salary toward
the end of the fiscal year. Either the

Discussion of the 10 per cent cut

ers, examine. The fact that most de-

Last Monday morning Acting Gov.
Paul Cannon, acting as head exam
iner of the Board of Examiners,
stirred up matters of revolving funds.
Treasurer Horace Casey had reported
unofficially to Paul that the State
was running in the "red". Three
millions of dollars in the general fund
and four millions in warrants out
standing puts the state backing into
the check kiting corner.
There is in the Helena banks alone,
around twelve million dollars in re-
volving money (money unlike stones
fathers little "moss"), The state
rather than releasing money from
these revolving funds last fall issued
registered warrants. The registered
warrants or "N.S.F." checks have all
been picked up.

kidded about his check escapades, so

report issued that day showed that
of the 81 departments polled, 25
stated they would not spend all of
their appropriations, 10 said all their
money would be spent, and eight re-
sponded that it had not yet been de-
termined how they would come out.)
Paul Cannon wanted to clarity
the fact that if teeth were to
be put into the economy drive, a
directive must come from the gov
ernor's office to the twenty ap-
pointive departments. Cannon felt
