dates whom Hawaii COPE endorsed
for the chief offices in the Islands
two Republicans and two Democrats
were victorious in the Juy 20 cleo

They were: Republicans William
Quinn and James Kealoha, elected
governor and lieutenant governor, re-
spectively; and Democrats Oren Long
and Danial Inouye, who were elected
u. S. Senator and U. S. Representa-

in another senatorial race to Hiram
Fong, a liberal Republican who as a
Territorial House member for IA
years was frequently out of step with
his party.
Kealoha is a native Hawaiian. In

Board Takes Toole
State Lease Matter
Under Advisemenf

The checks for STOP are not in
themselves evidence of unauthorized
sub-leasing of state land, Shelby At
torney Cedar Aronow maintained al
the Paul Jesse and Herman Simmes
show cause why lease should not be
vacated hearing of the Land Board
Wednesday.
Jesse and Simmes recently sold
some 1000 acres to the Hillside Hut
terite Colony in northern Toole
county. Before the lease for adjoin-
ing state land could be transferred to
the butterflies, a neighbor applied for
the sale of the 1900 acres of state
land. Reports of Land Board investi-
gators indicated lease violations.
Aronow who handled the transac-
tion of the land, contended that the
cows and sheep that the investigator
saw on state land had strayed through
an open gate.
The hearing attracted enough Toole
county people to fill the seating space
in the Governors reception room.
The matter was taken under advise
ment because a decision so quickly
after the heated counter-stories could
have brought about physical activities
that would not be decorous of the
oaken chamber.
The STOP in checks brought out the
very interesting fact, at least to At
torney General Forrest Anderson's
mind, that three dollars per animal
unit was the accepted private graz
ing fee. The Land Board is limited
by law to a charge of only rs cents.

| Following cross examination OF
company witnesses protestants will
present their testimony and company
counsel can then cross examine pro-
testants' witnesses.
This is the second time protestants
have organized to appear with an
expert witness before the commission
in opposition to telephone company
rate increase request.
The objective of the company under
cross examination seems to be to di-
vulge as little specific information as
possible, yet to preserve the atmos-
phere of utmost cooperation.
COMMISSION ALSO HAS
RATE EXPERT
Also at the hearings this time the
Public Service Commission has en-
ployed an expert of their own. He
is DR.. Lionel Thatcher from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin.
There are moments of good humor
and much good fellowship evident
even during this deadly serious busi-
ness.
The company abhors the posi-
bilities of comparing apples and
bananas, but protestants' attorney
Leaphart counters "you can't take
the dog without the tail''.
When Leaphart was working assid-
iously to break down the testimony
of Mr.. Maher, Mr.. Booth objected to
the line of questioning and Leaphart
said "I'm simply trying to impeach
the testimony of the witness and
want him to admit he has been i'm
peached".
Tensions mounted however when
George N. Steinhauer, assistant vice
president from Denver, took the stand
Wednesday afternoon, Steinhauer is |
the company witness on revenue re-
quirements and rate of returns, and |
is a game antagonist. Also both ex-
perts he will face on cross examina-
tion are specialists in the field of |
cost of capital, and there will not
be the agonizing process of~search-
ing for unknown quantities in his
testimony. The battle will be on diff
ferent versions of the philosophy and
of the money market as
it applies to the Bell system.
Leaphart started his cross exami-
nation of Steinhauer on the subject
Of the witnesses statement that the
telephone business is comparable to
other industrial risks. Steinhauer
listed 20 such industrial risks in his
original testimony that he considered
comparable, and Leaphart was pound
ng on what comparable risk Stein I
lauer found between chewing gum
md telephones. The Wrigley company
vas one listed in the Steinhauer ex- {
ibit. {

Committee which decides where all
the money comes from.
When the highway program was en-
acted in 1856, the Administration was
successful in excluding from the high
way trust fund the auto tax, the tax
on parts and accessories and lubricat-
ing oils and half of the tax on trucks
and buses. aggregating ST 1a billion.
These taxes paid by highway users
now go into the general fund. Presi-
dent Eisenhower suggests that we in
crease the gas tax by 1 " cents a
gallon and that the highway users
continue to contribute to the general
expenses of government as well as
nav the additional costs for the inter
state program.
A second Eisenhower action sug-
gested by ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Humphrey was an amendment
that prevents the trust fund borrow
ing from the general fund during the
early years of the highway program,
when it was expected that expendi-
lures would exceed revenues.
1t is these two factors which have
brought the future highway pro-
gram to halt. Actually today, we
are five per cent ahead of Schedule
and all of the contracts now under
way will be completed. 1t is the
program for fiscal year 1861 which
is in jeopardy.
The Ways and Means Committee
of the House and the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate along with the
Public Works Committees are working
on a legislative solution. Congress
must certify the interstate program
and agree on certain aspects by 1861
as provided in the original law. The
shortage in the trust fund and the
crippling effects of the Humphrey
provision require immediate solution.
The highway program will not
stop. Congress will act before it
recesses and the highway program
will go forward.
MURRAY BILLS MOVE
The Interior Indian Affairs sub
committee Thursday approved three
Murray bills regarding Indians, one
dealing with the Grow Tribe, one with
the Fort Belknap Tribe and another
with potential nationwide impact on
Indian employment.
The Crow bill would permit long
term mineral leasing ON the reserva-
ton. thus removing an impediment |
to mineral development in the area. |
The Fort Belknap bill would authorize
the Fort Belknap Indian Community |
Council, with the Secretary of In
terior's approval, to sell tribal land |
to members of the community and
exchange tribal land for land owned
by members of the community.
The third bill would bolster the

1t was widely noted from

this made Truman nervous.
He must also be conscious
