VeHe III JANUARY. Inc democrats
gained 13 new senators to provide a
Senate Democratic majority so over
whelming that it will also insure
Democrats control of the Senate until
1862 regardless of the 1860 elections.
In the House the Democrats added
46 new members to their 235-200
majority.
An analysis of the 16 senators who
were beaten or retired indicates that
they voted against the rural electrifi-
cation program 929a of the time. 1t
is very unlikely that their successors
will be so strongly opposed to rural
electric-supported legislation. The 16
new faces include Senator-elect Clyde
Engle (Calif.), whose voting record
was 99% favorable, and Senator
elect Eugene Mccarthy (Minn) :,
whose voting record was 97@o favor
able. 1t also includes two new sena-
tors from New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, where there is only one rural
electric system. New jerseys Sena-
tor-elect Harrison Williams had an
89% favorable voting record while
he served in the House.
In the House an analysis of NRECA
voting records indicates that of SO
House members who voted against
rural electric-supported legislation
more than 60%o are not returning.
Forty-four of this total opposed the
rural electrics more than 800 of
the time. Most of the So were de-
feated, although some resigned, and
a few died. AS in the Senate it would
be very unlikely for the new members
20 match the opposition of their prede-
cessors.
This mass departure of pro-power
company senators and representatives
provides shot in the arm to pro-
posed legislation supported by the
'ural electrics. Three very important |
bills include TVA-financing, the |

THE PEOPLES VOICE
Helena, Montana
Dear Mr. Billings:
On behalf of our Committee, I wish
to express our thanks and sincere ap-
probation for the special help which
you gave us in our campaign for the
passage of Referendum No. 81, through
the favorable publicity you accorded
this measure in your publication. THE
PEOPLES VOICE.
Many of the issues surrounding this
vital measure were not fully understood
by all segments of this electorate. but
with your help and that of many other
newspaper editors we were able to
succeed in our efforts on behalf of
higher education in Montana.
Again, many thanks for your splendid
assistance. Sincerely yours. T.. ID.
Manager, Bozeman.

committee so a bill comes out with
majority and a minority report
design for killing it easier on the
floor because none of the bugs have
been taken out. In this legislature
we corporation leaders are going to
have to work from the premise we
will be on the defensive-except we
have until January 9Th and we may
not be as pessimistic by then.
In dealing with Individual legisla-
tors our leg men will be telling
pecially these new fellows-that the
ACM and Montana Power are not
going to work together this time
we really are sore at each other. We
will be working merely to protect
our interests in the legislature and
we will not take part in anybody
else's fights. (The fellow who was
pretending corporation leader" in
this interview was quoting from some
horses mouth, so that wasn't quite
'air).
Now as corporation leaders in the
legislature we are faced with our
bogey man-taxes. We managed to
beat some legislators who would have
expected us to pay our taxes on an
"equalized'' basis, and wouldn't have
fallen for the same tricks" we pulled
out of our bag last time-in fact
with some A new men in the House
(many with little political philoso-
phy) we are going to have to carry
pretty big bags this time-and be
armed with lots of "pullers" :.
much of the campaign was based on
taxes.

"How are you going to handle tax

Another said, "Insert some issue

feel like the Sioux the morning
after they took Custer. (And by the
same token, we Democrats would be
doing well to heed what happened to
those same Sioux afterward.)
For the first time since 1916, Yellow
stone County Commissioners are Demo-
cratic controlled with Healow beating
out Hagerman. William Spear is the
first Democrat elected as County At
torney since 193436. Democrats were
also elected as County Treasurer and
Public Administrator. By the same
token, the 'rank-and-file' took care of
the Straight Eight, by electing three
Democrats to the State Legislature
with Sheehy (who lead the ticket),
Wold and Lees replacing Republican
wheelhorses Crist, Gebhardt and Pierce.
In an unheard of victory, but a well
deserved one, LeRoy Anderson carried
Yellowstone County by some 5000
votes; so you can see that the Spirit
of Thomas jefferson was abroad in
Yellowstone County.
Yours for Democracy. - WILLARD

that we should give the youth of
Europe jazz music with the reasonable
expectation that this would inspire
them to freedom from totalitarian
communism and socialism. He said in
effect, who knows but that a hot
piano might be the weapon to save the
youth from Communism"
To my unlettered mind, such stupid
speculation places the cart before the
horse, for our American music instead
of being the cause and upholder of our
capitalist system is but the effect. AS
one expression of art in the decadent
age of a social system that has long
lost its virility and usefulness, modern
music speaks most eloquently in Amer
lea.
An Elvis Presley worshipping youth
will pillory me for saying this. Some
Stark w Gather youth might even murder
me for less reason. Still / say that the
spiritual and cultural decay of Capital
ism is very real and a tragic handwrit-
ing on the wall for those who have not
lost their desire for human betterment.
Socialism, or Communism if it pleases
you, demands and enforces social effort
and responsibility from all citizens. In
Rome a "not fiddle" was said to have
been played while the city burned. In
stead of our "hof pianos" saving Eur
opes future generation from a system
Of social organization that teaches sober
and sensible responsibility, they shall
more likely pound out their blatant,
din until our social system is
destroyed
In the whole mass of misinformation
about the people of socialism and their
government there is no inkling of the
truth that responsibility and self-disci-
pline are creating a new morality in
tba lands of Socialism w Whicb p1Ifg n

tiousness and irresponsibility which we
call Freedom. McKEAN,

show that it can not be raised in any
manner except sales tax-break down
all practical methods.
Gust do everything we have done
in the past", said one of my favorite
pretend" corporation heads.
After all this l still am intrigued
with the "Kilkenny Cats" approach,
which was the most popular with all
of those I talked to.
And most of them seemed to feel
the Senate is to be the "cattery". The
corporations only need to control one
branch of the legislature, after all.
What are Democrats going to do
in the Senate?
How are they going to handle Lehr-
kind who campaigned for Nutter, Re
publican State Chairman?
And Harken who won with Repub-
lican votes?
And the Democrats unpredictable
Second coming, George Wilson?
If they follow the more basic hu-
man emotions they may be headed
for trouble. If they "forgive and for
get'' past sins do they avoid trouble?
Or just make themselves look like
fools?
How many Democrat senators can
Wilson, Minette, Harken
take with them? Keller? Bovey? Man
ming? Goodwin?
Anyone else?
Should Democrats exert discipline
in the party? And if they do can
they still control the Senate?
The Senate stands 38 Democrats,
II Republicans and Harken.

Legislature in particular

Democrats then had Sc Senate seats.
In the House, the Democrats picked
up 46 House seats to boost their total
number to 282. Republicans con-
trolled an even 200 seats going into
the election and they now dropped
to 152. This is the largest margin
by which the Democrats have con-
trolled the House since 1886. That
year FDR was elected in his famous
landslide that swept 333 Democratic
congressman into office as opposed
to 80 Republican members.
The influential WASHINGTON
POST reports in the meantime that
Senate Majority Leader Johnson is
moving ahead with a 12-point legis-
lative program which will be pre-
sented to the new seth Congress. Sew
eral of the points in the program are
of significant interest to rural cleo
trio leaders.
Interest rates. Johnson will pro-
pose that steps be taken to protect
people from what he regards as the
gouge of high interest rates. This,
in view of the Eisenhower Admins
tration's drive to increase REA's 2%o
interest rate, will be examined very
closely by rural electric leaders.
Water resources. Johnson will
propose a broad program "to con-
serve and increase the disability of
water" This will include irrigation
and reclamation projects, with their
federal hydroelectric power
production and navigation.
Other points to be included in
the program are proposal to acceler-
ate the development of atomic power
for peacetime use, and an overall ex-
animation of the Eisenhower-Benso
farm program.
. Hearings will begin on the 12-
point legislative program almost i'm
after Congress convenes,
according to the POST.
