Hobby Clubs are in the max
ing. They are, however, based
on Common Interests, rather
than age. In this way, stress is
placed on Family Activities, re-
moving the emphasis on age. No
one wishes to be reminded that
he is aging.
Hobby exhibits are held at the
annual Maple Festival in Char
don. Articles made are sold by
volunteers, either for the own
er'S particular charity, if so de-
sired, or for his own financial
benefit. Here too, there is no age
limit. In fact, children are en-
couraged to participate, in an
effort to stimulate interest in
hobbies, knowing it is more diff
ficult to develop interests late
in life.

Genzberger stressed his belief that
there is a great struggle to capture
the student mind. He said it was not
done primarily in the classroom but
"in the social gatherings, the tea
parties, outside gatherings, etc.
McClernan was crushed by the
attitude of the student publication
KAIMIN and their attitude toward
the Legion in defense of the speakers
to which the Legion objected. He
said, eve have shoulders as broad

DIR. McClurkin is directing and CO.
ordinating an elementary school sur
vey for Montana. He is also doing
the work on the Organization and
administration" facet of the four
phase study being conducted on a
$3.50 basis by the Taxation and Edu-
cation Commission and the Montana
Legislative Council. He had appeared
before the legislative council on Mon
day afternoon to advise that group
on the problems of study of the in
situations of higher learning. The
legislative council was also interested
in what the Peabody group would
charge for such survey.
DIR. McClurkin appeared Tuesday
morning before the Council at his
own request following the Board of
Education meeting Monday afternoon,
and after he came into possession of
material being distributed by Hell
ena pamphleteer in which the George
Peabody College was associated and
linked in the indirect and devious
manner of such presentations, with
left-wing associations.
The Helena pamphleteer, accord
ing to the most reliable information
available, is, himself without financial
means, and serves as the "front'' for
distributing material with which his
hackers do not wish to become asso-
ciated.
DIR. McClurkin seemed to recognize
this fact, however, he said, coupled
with the ''trash" that was put out
before the Board of Education, Mon
tana was headed for an educational
"witch-hunt''.
The Peabody representative made
no bones about his indignation and
withdrew the name of his institute
from consideration by the Legis-

More Than S6.5
Million In Taxes
Lost Each Year

Failure of Montana people
to list bank deposits, stocks,
bonds and other intangible"
property is annually resulting
in a tax loss in excess of &c.
100000, the Montana Taxation
Education Commission, was in
formed at its March meeting in
the State Capitol building.
This information was presented by
Commission member Les Hanson,
Glasgow, who compiled it from stats
tics available in the State Bank Ex-
aminer's office, the Federal Reserve
System and other sources.
Hanson said his investigation
showed that only about six per cent
of all such property is on the tax roll,
noting that the Board of Equaliza-
tons report for year ending June 80,
1856, showed only $65,763,0Oe of
solvent credits" on the tax roll.
As of December 81, 1857, state
chartered banks had on deposit $780,
$4,000, and national banks, $4e2,-
721, 900. From the total of bank de-
posits of $500, JOB, 900, Hanson sub
tracted bank capital of $43 million
(Which is on the tax roll in the en-
tirety) for a net total of 166,eee,-
600.
In addition, a conservative esti-
mate of stocks and bonds held by
Montana people totals another $780,
100000. Added to bank deposits,
Hanson stated that Montanans hold
over one billion dollars in solvent
more than fifteen times
as much as show on the tax roll.
Solvent credits are in a seven per
cent classification. The taxable valu-
alton on that billion dollars would be
N excess of $40 million. Figuring an
average statewide assessment of at
east 100 mills, that $40 million should
produce 81 million additional prep
erty taxes each year.

that study on the higher education
level will be of little value.
McClurkin said for the sake of
harmony it was best the legislative
council forget the Peabody Institute,
then added, "and too you can't en-
tirely forget, you are involved with
the Taxation and Education Commit
tee for the elementary school study"
"But,' he said, "you need not COM
plicate yourself further by associat-
ing yourselves with an institution
that is persona-non-grata in your
state"
He suggested the Legislative
Council make the best of having
made bad bargain" with the
T. and E. Committee) and "put a
stop to this unhealthy condition"
He warned the council that the
type of thing that went on before
the Board of Education "didn't have
to go much further" before Montana
would be in deep educational trouble.
Assured by the council that his
statements were being recorded he
told them he was a Commander in
the United States Naval Reserve and
a member of unit that has been
cleared for secret government re-
search.
McClurkin said, eff anyone is in
terested in checking my Communist
front organizations and my loyalty
they can check there"

subversive organizations. The Legion
press release for February 9, 1853,
said their resolution adopted at their
mid-winter conference in Helena was
protesting the appearance" of these
people.
Following the protest. the Board
heard the state adjutant of the vet
GRAMS organization. At that time a
member of the Board of Education
referred to a paragraph in the reso-
luton which said cit appears that
there have been no comparable num-
Der of pro-American speakers appear
ing on these university sponsored
programs. He asked the Legion's
state adjutant if the organization
merely wanted a balanced program
and the answer was 81 wouldn't want
to leave that impression.
That the Legion was retrenching
in the face of strong public dis
approval, and according to reliable
reports to this office, disapproval
among their own membership, seemed
more than obvious at the Monday
meeting.
They protested repeatedly that they
were not appearing before the board
to "seek retaliatory charges against
anyone, (McClernan) or "we can
not try these men-this is not the
tribunal-it is split milk-in the past
now what in the future, GEM
berger).
Genzberger also said their adjutant
had not been prepared at the Febru-
airy meeting and l"did not have the
background he needed to appear at
the Education Board meeting.
Vic Overcast explained "what it
means to pay dues in an organization
that many of us never heard of, at

the board.

Elimination of classification inequi-
ties within counties at the earliest
possible moment is desirable. How
ever, since uniform classification is
tending to increase assessments on
much property, in the counties COM
plotting work early, the taxpayers are
having to pay an increasingly dis
portionate amount on statewide mill
age and bond levies as compared with
counties which have held back in
effectuating the classification pro-
gram.
Recommendation by the commits
sion aimed at expediting the classifi-
cation program and also to assure a
measure of equity to taxpayers in
counties completing the work early
are:
1. The State Board of Equaliza-
ton should see that all counties are
working toward uniform classifi-
cation of all property.

Opposition to the so-called

is expected to jell into an
organizational operation this
Saturday, March %, in Hell
ena.
p- Saturday afternoon, at the
Eagles Hall, is the time and
place set for a meeting of
labor eople and their
friends, to take steps to fight
the apparently well-financed
attempt being undertaken to
make Montana into an "open

president of Montana State
AFL-CIO, said in announcing
the meeting.
TIMBER also asked Montana
people not to sign the petit
ton currently being circu-
lated by the Equal Oppor-
tunity League. He pointed
out that the intent of the Pc
tition sponsors is the same as
that behind the unsuccessful
open shop petition campaign
of 1850 weaken and /or
destroy the collective bar
gaining power of Montana's
working men and women by

unions and the employers of
their members.

UuGlI QIl0IlIud.
At the Monday afternoon meeting,
the Legion presented four speakers,
District Judge McClernan of Butte
Vic Overcast, East Glacier; Grover
Schmidt of Fort Benton, and Earl
Genzberger of Butte.
McClernan said his organization
had representation from all over the
state at the meeting and that their
Auxiliary and the Daughters of the
American Revolution supported their
stand.
Originally the Legion had protested
before the Board the appearance of
certain speakers at the University
and the College, and presented
brochure which they said showed Eek
tensive records of association with
