Plank Walking Approved
For Star Chamber Sessions

In the days before the refrigerated
cargoholds-when a seaman died at
seattle crew would sew the weighted
body in canvas, but before the ships
officer read the burial ceremonies,
the last stitch was sewn through the
nose. This courtesy was extended to
the departed sailor to "sing out" if
he was ever going to.

the only way to know that nation
is still alive.
How the voter enlightens himself
in Montana is known to anyone that

via public media.)

You can spot us by the ever present
note pad that we are chained to.
All this build up is about House
Bill No. 5. A nice short bill that

bureaus, commissions or agencies of
the state or any political subdivision
of the state, or organizations or

Public Employees Seek Two
paydays Per Month

Public employees will be paid twice
a month instead of once a month if
the Montana Council of State, County
and Municipal Employees (AFL-CIO)
gets bill they are sponsoring through
the legislature.
The public employees union, who
will be represented in the lobby by
Joe M. Martello, Helena, their field
representative, will also sponsor bill
to extend to state employees, health,
accident and group accident benefits
with state participation up to five
dollars per employee per month. Such
legislation for city and county en-
ployees was passed in the 1857 Legis-
lature.

Producers, Distributors
In Agreement On Milk
Control Act Revision

Ralph J. Parker, director of the
Great Falls Milk Producers Associa-
ton, said Monday that producers and
distributors of milk products have
come up with what they consider a
solution to Montana Milk Control law
controversies.
The milk producers and the milk
distributors have held series of
meetings all fall and winter and
through a process of give and take
on both sides many questions have
been ironed out and the industry it
self has come up with answers to
their problems, according to Parker.
Through amendments to the Milk
Control law producers and distribu-
tors are for the first time presenting
a united front to the legislature. he
said.
Consumers representative have been
present at meetings where the amend
ments the legislature is being asked
to consider were discussed. including
labor and other consumer groups. the
producer spokesman said.
Following appointment of the Agri-
culture Committee in the House Mon
dav. committee chairman Ronald
Holtz (D-Cascade) called a meeting
to hear a discussion of the proposed
amendments to the Milk Control law.

Public Power--
Continued From Page Two)

Augustus Caesar believed in public
works such as roads and aqueducts
and public buildings which are SO
essential to the existence of a great
city.
These public utilities in turn made
possible the great accomplishments
in Roman literature, art, the laws and
the administration of government
which we continue to study in our
universities.
The public works of the Age of
Augustus served as foundation and
as a necessary material counterpart
for the cultural and administrative
achievements of the Roman Empire.
The Roman Empire didn't know
the meaning of unemployment COM
pensation because it followed pol
icy of full employment.
I mention the Golden Age of Ro-
man history because | am convinced
that the opportunity for golden age
of American history lies ahead of us.
The golden age of American civili-
zation is still ahead of us. AS an es-
sential part and as a foundation for
our golden age we too will need a
greatly increased public investment
in public works, public utilities and
in the conservation of and develop
ment of natural resources.
Today we see the double tragedy
of wasted natural resources and
waster human resources. These null
wasted human resources. These null |
tiple benefits. We must find the fl
nancing method such as the capital
budget for letting our people get
back to work.
Our economy is complex and inter-
woven. Our economy depends on low
cost energy. In the field of energy
public power is the proverbial goose
that lays the golden eggs. On the
basis of the record in Ontario and
IVA and our own Northwest expert
ence | submit that we should increase
and expand our public power pro-
gram. In so doing we will expand our
economy. J.

Farmers Income
Tax Guide Book
Now Available

BOZEMAN-Sinc it contains some
40 revisions or new items of special
interest, the 1859 edition of the
FARMERS TAX GUIDE' will be
of value to Montana farm and ranch
operators in preparing their income
tax returns, says M. E. Quenemoen,
extension farm management specialist
at Montana State College.
Copies of the publication may be
obtained at the offices of county ex-
tension agents.
For example, he said, one change
concerns small corporations. Corpora
tions with less than ten stockholders
and only one class of stock may choose
to be taxed as partnerships. Then
each shareholder reports his share of
the corporations taxable income.
This eliminates double taxation-a
tax first on corporate earnings and
again on dividends.
Another change concerns net oper-
ating losses. These may now be car
ried back three years, instead of just
two, to offset past profits. And losses
not fully offset in the past three
years can still be carried forward.
There is also change in the de-
probation that may be taken on farm
and equipment.
The Farmers Tax Guide is published
by the Internal Revenue Service.

CHARLES GOODWIN
St. Paul's Methodist
CAN YE FORGIVE?

Luke 6:37 Forgive, and you will
be forgiven"
Can you ever forgive me-" is
the question that truly tests ones
Christian temper. To recognize our
need for forgiveness is painful.
However, to forgive, one must take
the pain of the wrongdoing upon
himself and restore the estranged
relationship.
Being willing to forgive tests our
unselfishncss. The scriptures ask
the question, IF We do good to
them that do good to you, what
reward have ye?" 1t is easy to
love the lovable, those who love
you in return but we are COM
manded to love the unlovable
Jesus directed us to be neighbor
to him who is ungrateful and de-
spitefully uses us. We are to
shower kindness upon the poor
and rich alike without any thought
of return. This is a hard saying
and is possible only as we rec
ognizc the unbounded goodness of
God poured into our lives despite
our unWOrthiness.
Although difficult, forgiveness
becomes a necessity for family and
community life. The created capa-
city of men to live in fellowship
brings them close enough together
to hurt one another also. Family
and community life is destroyed by
foolish dissensions unless forgive
ness is fact. furthermore, all of
us need forgiveness. TO be for
given, we must forgive others.
Further there is to be no limit
to ones forgiveness. Seventy times
seven was Jesus way of saying one
never gets through forgiving just
as one never gets beyond the need
of being forgiven.
God pointed the way to group
relationships by giving of himself
redemptivcly drought the life and
death of his son. Jesus emphasized
forgiveness because he saw it in
Gods dealings with men. Hence,
he could say. Love your enemies
