WHAT DO YOU. THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

the ticket but keep qniet- about those
reactionary ideas.
Liberals, the working backbone of
the Democratic party, are handled
similarly. m
So Democrats are girding them
selves for their convention next week.
Democratic liberals, who believe in
the two-party system and that the
Democratic party should not be
literally accurate facsimile of the
Republican party, have one strong
point in their favor at Miles City.
They have the blatantly and un-
ashamedly liberal national platform.
There will be number of those
entitled to participate in convention
action who will not be at Miles City
because of the distance and can not
attend because of considerations in
volving either time or money or both.
but indications are that it will still
be an interesting convention. There
have been many rumblings of dis
satisfaction with the location of this
meeting.
Pre-convention campaigning has
gone something like this:
There should be conservative
Democrat elected as chairman. be-
cause the candidates on the ticket
are liberal.
There should be a liberal elected
as chairman, for the same above rea-
son.
The chairman should be from
eastern Montana-and there has been
no refuting that, apparently. How
ever, one major candidate is from
western Montana, so / can hardly
say no one is refuting the eastern
Montana preference, guess.
That one of the defeated con-
would be good as chairman
TO overcome some of the hard feel
ngs.
What will happen in Miles City
depends on what forces within the
Democratic party are best represented
here.
From my disadvantage point at
his moment (10 days before conven-
ion) it looks as if John Macdonald

their share of highway construction and
maintenance costs. He has opposed any in
crease in gasoline tax until such time as the
trucks are paying their equitable share of
the BILL Nutter, on the other hand, voted
against weight-distance in 1867. In 1856 he
voted for increasing the gasoline tax-paid
largely by motorists-from six to seven cents.
In 1857 he voted to make the seven-cent tax
permanent.
. Schools: Cannon's record as a legislator
in 1889, 1941 and 1943 was one of firm sup
port for better schools, improved teacher re-
tirement, etc. Nutter is across the tracks
so far as schools are concerned (and in public
utterances has indicated he doesn't have a
very high regard for teachers, either) Nutter,
in both 1855 and 1857, voted against increaS-
ing the school foundation program the mini
mum amount the House had earlier found
was needed to maintain reasonably good edu-
cational standards in Montana Nutter also
voted in 1868 and 1866 for legislation to
weaken the Land Boards control over school
oil land leases to the benefit of the oil COM
panies and, conversely, to the financial detri-
ment of public education In 1857 Nutter op-
posed HOuse-passed legislation which would
have removed the 1912 per cent maximum
royalty the schools could receive on oil pro-
duction from school leases.
Taxation: Cannon, in 1913, opposed
passage of the bankers relief act'' of that
session. The bill failed because of Republican
Gov. Sam Ford's veto. Nutter took different
view and supported similar legislation to
grant banks big tax cut bonanza, particu-
larly in 1857 and 1858, by voting for the So
called "better banking bilP' of 1857.
The above are few direct contrasts in |
political philosophy of the two gubernatorial
standard bearers. A more detailed study of
both mems records discloses many other

Next Saturday, August De4aae-
Gratis will gather at Miles City to
work on their state platform and
elect organizational officers.
There is feeling of tension that
generally precedes conventions of this
sort-how big battle over the state
chairmanship-how much fighting
over the platf it be possible
to find a point ON which to weld
the dissident forces--how much COM
promise, and at what price unity.
Many forces enter into political
no matter the party.
In the Republican party the cor
porate leaders themselves hold sway
and do an effective job of keeping
disruptive influences from attaining
the open sesame to their clustered
temples. The thorn of liberalism has
rarely scratched the temple doors.
But the corporate Trojan horse
within the Democratic
ranks has been absurdly successful,
and state by state.
Within both parties and at all con-
ventions there are the political hang
srs-on. They are the ones who cling
70 the coat tails of potential office
holders and their ultimate personal
gain depends upon victory for their
nan. For these people insertion of
principle into politics constitutes a
certain personal hazard and has about
IS welcome ring as the telephone
while in the bathtub. There is at
east some spirit of challenge here,
because if their candidate loses, they /
Llso lose.
On the other hand, and particularly |
It the Democratic convention there |
will be found individuals who become
ctive IN party politics to represent
orporate interests. They may work
s hard to defeat candidate in the
arty in which they work as to elect
i'm. They are negative and threat
ming force rather than progressive
onward looking force. Often dis
disillusioned and bitter
ormer candidates are in this group.
Corporate "patsies" play in safe
nd secure game from their personal
landpoint. Their job is to keep the
emocratic party as un-liberal and
5 stultified as possible.
No ringing challenges to excite
le people! No noble programs on
hich to build dreams! Pleased II
1t is an interesting fact that often

NP's Assessment Cut
Request Denied By
Equalization Board

An appeal by the Northern Pacific
Railway Company that the 1860 as
sessment of 55,537,036, figure
1,168,00G less than the 1859 assess
ment, be set aside and $23,847,429 be
substituted as the correct assessment,
has been rejected by the State Board
of Equalization.
The railroad company claimed the
Board erred in using a go rate for
capitalization of net revenue; that
it's Montana portion of system value
is less than the 3O.62@o applied by
the board; that less than $4,000 of
full and true value should have been
used as an equalization factor, and
asserted that because of depreciation
and obsolescence the physical value
of the system should be entirely elm
mated from consideration.
In denying NP's request the board
took the position that the Supreme
Court, in it's recent decision in the
Oil Basin and Yellowstone Pipeline
cases., has given full recognition of
latitude in the use of Judgment and
discretion provided the board by the
statutes in it's assessment of inter-
county properties.

This decision was handed down
right after the VOICE plant closed
for annual vacation. The high court
overturned the decision by District
Judge Fenton of early 1859. Fenton
had ruled the state board had arbi-
trarily set the assessments of Oil
Basin and Yellowstone at a figure
which he considered over twice as
high as was fair and reasonable.
He then usurped the duty of the
assessing agent (the State Board)
and slashed the assessment by APP
proximately one half. From this
lower court decision the State
Board successfully appealed. -

Girl Scout Leaders
Outline Program
For Troop Meetings

The adult community commit
tee for Girl Scouting in Brown
ing held its first meeting of the
fall Monday evening at the home
of Mrs. Russell Boyd. Mrs. Luz
ellie Mckay, president, called the
meeting to order. Several new
members were present. Mrs. F.
Bare and Mrs. Gage were well
coined and both agreed to help
with the work.
The main problem to consider
at this time is the reorganization
of the troops and securing lead
ers for them. 1t was decided to
combine troops for the present,
dividing them later if it becomes
necessary, and if more leaders
can be found. At present all the
Brownies, namely all second,
third and fourth grade girls will
meet Tuesday after school at
$3.50 in the room given over to
scouting by the school board. This
room is in the basement of the
elementary school. Mrs. Bare,
Mrs. Weathered and Belva Brem-
ner will act as leaders. Another
helper is needed.
The fifth and sixth grade scouts
will meet on Mondays at 7 pm.
with Mrs. Lucille Mckay, Mrs.
Alma Juneau and Miss Marge
Raglan acting as leaders. For this
group another helper is needed.
The junior high girls will meet
Wednesday at 7 pm. with Mrs.
Martha Wilson, Miss Ruth Davis
and Mrs. Gage acting as leaders.
They also need one other lead
er. The high school girls will be
organized with Mrs. Robert An
derson, Mrs. Hazelton and Miss
Balls taking the leadership. They
too need one more helper.
Women in Browning who like
girls and feels that she can give
this time once week please call
some member of the Adult Com
mittee and volunteer. You will
be welcomed with open arms.
