Decree Anti-Smog Devices
For California Autos

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-(CNS)-
Governor Edmund Brown recently
signed a bill requiring anti-smog de-
vices on car exhausts.
Under the new law state board
will test devices for controlling ex-
haust fumes. One year after they APP
prove two devices, all new cars sold
in California must have them. After
three years, all used cars must also
be so equipped.
To appease rural areas that fought
against the measure in the State
Senate, the bill provides that if any
of the So counties can prove it has
no smog problem, the county can ex-
empt used cars in it's area.
Seven million cars are licensed in
California. Coastal cities have suf-
fered the most from smog, but the
states agriculture department esti-
mates smog also blights some So mil
lion worth of farm crops each year.

Wants Better Legislation
On Probating Of Estates

Editor, Peoples Voice:
thought I should write to you on
this matter of "Probates of Estates.
have noted the declarations of candi-
dates for State Office, but, i fail to
see anything on this cancer" which
has been foisted on the people.
Here in Deer Lodge this matter has
been presented to all of the candidates
for the House and Senate and it is
gratifying to note that most of them
have come out in. favor of the repeal
of the present set-up. / say "set-up",
as a clearly defined law is not on the
matter but, the courts have ruled that
everything in an estate has to be
probated.
To clear up this matter fully: If a
husband dies the widow has to probate
the little home that is left, be it by
deed or will, and the cost is sometimes
over 1870 of the total worth of the
home. The same is true of joint bank
accounts, the survivor has to probate
the account, with increased costs. Most
of the people have thought that the
law is the same as it used to be. The
deed was taken to the Clerk and Re-
corder and filed and that was all. The
survivor of the joint bank account
took over. I understand that the State
Board of Equalization checks about the
inheritance tax and collects if there is
any due. Now it is probated whether or
not tax is due The court costs and
attorney costs are eating UP small es-
tates and the survivors whether 1T be
a widow and her family or the hus-
band and the family have to be "out"
those unnecessary court and attorney
fees.
why can't there be n law passed
to have those things taken out of
the costs In handling the estates and
have the State Board of Equalization
handle like any other tax that Is due
the state without the huge cost that
is entafIed Mt the present time.

1 would call on labor groups in each
county to contact State Office aspirants
to change this condition back to where
1T used ITO be- The same applies to the
small farmers, too, as they will be
shit" with the same stick as the rest
of those who are uniformed as ito this
vicious condition. I believe most of the
members of the Legislature are not
aware of this and the ones that learn
1T the hard way are those who have
to settle the estate of husband, wife,
mother or father.
I would ask everyone that reads this
to get busy now and get committee
formed to ask those who are in the leg
islature or aspire ito the House or Sen
ate to find out how they stand on this
matter.
I would not stop at the Legislators,
the candidates for Governor and the
Lieutenant Governor should be APP
preached too.-THOMAS B. EDWARDS,
Anaconda, Montana.
P.S-The law of inheritance give the
widow an exemption of over $4,000
but, this set-up says it has to be pro-
bated even for aus little as $1,000. The
husband has an exemption of something
like $4,000 exemption too. Where is
the sense of throwing the money away
on sensless probates?

Regrets Sen. Murray
Endorsing Bonner

Honorable James E. Murray
Senate office Bldg.
Washington, d. C.
Dear Senator Murray,
1t is with much regret that I write
this letter. We were all very pleased
when we read in the paper that you
have decided to retire. You have done
lot for Montana, but now why do
you want to undo all that has been
done? Everyone was sure you would
give all of your support to our great
liberal Congressman Lee Metcalf. l
know Lee Metcalf respects you a lot,
and has done all he could to keep from
hurting you. Montana wouldn't have
to be in the rut it is now If We could
have had for governor the greatest
liberal Montana has ever produced,
the Democrat who had the nomination
in 1856. / know I write this letter with
the feelings of all the people in this
part of Montana with me- They are
getting tired of promises made by our
conservative Democrats. Why don't
they be honest with themselves, and
also with our great party by running
on the Republican ticket in the first
place? To speak about unity within
the party, just stop for a minute and
think about the ones who have wrecked
the party in Montana You will find
it wasn't Lee MetcaIf, but you know
the ones who have helped defeat our
liberals. Again / say if you want to
keep up the work of our delegation
to Washington that will be looked UP
to for leadership by other states you
will give your support to our own
Hon. Lee Metcalf.
I am sorry, but I wouldn't support
the candidate you have asked everyone
to for the Senate even if he was run
ning for dog catcher But can say
for myself and lots of my fellow Demo-
Gratis we will do all that is in our
power to defeat him. So if you expect
to keep the respect of the people of
Montana i suggest you withdraw your
support from this candidate for the
United States Senate.
Sincerely,

|Ike's Medical Plan
.Insures Health OF
Insurance Companies

The more one examines the old
age medical insurance plan proposed
by the INSTRUMENTATION Admins
tration. the more one is convinced
that it is nothing more than bait for
votes in the 1860 election. First of
all the costs must be shared by the
states. How many reactionary state
legislatures will vote money to go
under the plan? How many can af-
ford to?
In the second place, the average
oldster will not receive a nickel in
benefits. A government study shows
that the average medical expense for
persons over IS is SLIT year. But
the Administration scheme will not
cover the first $3.50 of medical ex-
pense. So the elderly citizen will be
paying his $24 a year in annual pre-
miums and getting nothing in re-
turn. In short; he will be merely
adding $24 annually to his medical
expenses.
Moreover, an elderly person with
an income of $500 would have to
pay 1904 of $500 medical bill. First
he would have to pay the $24 annual
premium. Then he would have to pay
the first $3.50 of the bill. Finally he
would have to pay 20 per cent of the
expenses above $25O-which in this
case would be 20 per cent of $3.50,
or $50.
1t is apparent that the biggest bene-
ficiaries of the bill would be the pri-
vate insurance companies with which
the insurance would be taken out

Some Americans Are More
Subsidized Than Others
By ROSCOE FLEMING

Everybodys subsidized only Americans sub
sldlzed than others. And want to most
favored look for the fellow who's complaining most loudly
of the subsidies that others get.
Representative Earl Hogan (DInd) tired of hearing
pie complain only of farmers subsidies went right to the
sive u Budget itself He reports total of nearly SIT billions
yearly in direct subsidies by the And farm subsi
dies made up only about one-fifth of this.

rates to big magazines and news
papers; and to third-class or sunk"
direct-mailers-we letter-writing U.s.
ers of first-class mail pay our own
way.
Then the Federal Aviation Agen-
cy. serving airlines directly, costs
1928 millions; the Civil Aeronautics
Board paid carriers $53 million
subsidy. The Coast Guard, serving
navigation interests, cost SLIT mil
lion; shipping companies drew $33
million directly.
The total of such direct aids to
business was $1,493 million. Labor
drew $761 million in federal subsi-
dies, SAT- million of this for unem-
ployment compensation. Another,
$297 million went for grants-in-aid
to administer unemployment compen-
sation, and employment services.
ONE TYPE SUBSIDY PAID
UNCLE A SMALL PROFIT
But homeowners and tenants re-
turned a tiny profit to the govern
ment-$4 million! They cost $186
million for grants-in-aid; but the
Housing and Home Loan Agency
made $149 million, and the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board made SAL
million, for a total of $3.50 million!
Veterans cost the government
$4,972 million or nearly SIS billion.
BY far the largest amount, or $3,275
million, went to compensation and
pensions, 1852 million went to hos
pital and medical care, and $685.
million to reimbursement benefits.
Our foreign aid program-it is
a subsidy just as truly as our domes-
tic ones-cost 1878 million, of
which economic aid cost $1,000 mil
lion and military aid $2,316 million.
Then the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare cost SO, la
million, of which 81, 1866 million went
for public assistance-old age pen
sions, aid to dependent mothers and
children, and SO on.
FINALLY, Mr.. Hogan finds another
$2,237 million in spe-
cial aids and services, for a grand
total for 1859 of $16,697 million.
This total is probably larger as of
this year, and will be larger next
year.
So, when you next find citizen
who complains of the farmers sub
sidy, show him this list-and ask
him where his comes from.

Rep. J. Floyd Breeding (D-kan.)
says that from dawn to dusk the
average American is patronizing
subsidized business. His private
electric company may be ENJOYING
tax amortization, he rides on a
subsidized plane, reads subsidized
magazines and newspapers-which
are probably scolding about farm
ers' subsidies-and so on.
Neither Congressman mentioned
the enormous indirect subsidies to
business, as through the tariff, which
allows business to collect higher
prices from consumers.
TAX LOOPHOLES ARE
ALSO SUBSIDIES"
Nor the many huge loopholes now
driven through the tax laws for bust
ness, through which it is possible that
another SIT billions yearly is drained
from the treasury which other tax
payers must make up.
For example: Through "stock OPP
tion' plans, the executives of at least
thousand big U. S. companies are
milking both the U. S. Treasury and
their stockholders, to build them
selves fortunes by acquiring stock
of their companies at no cost or low
cost, including special low tax rates.
However, Rep. Hogan's spadework
does show both the enormous amount
and range of direct subsidies for the
year 1859. and may in itself be a
revelation to the taxpayer.
In agriculture Rep. Hogan totaled
mp $3,484 millions, of which the larg-
est items includes sales of surplus
commodities for foreign currencies
($1,o22 millions); price support sup
ply and related programs ($872 mil
dons) transfer to stockpile >($315
milliens); the acreage reserve ($609
millions); and grants-in-aid 1922
As MIR. Hogan pointed out, the
benefit of many so-called agricui-
tural subsidies doesn't go to farm
ers at all, but to the recipients, for
example those of school lunches
and surplus foods. And why should
sales abroad under Public Law 48O,
for example, be chalked up as
subsidy to American farmers, rath-
err than to foreign aid?
Direct business subsidies cost
about billion and a half dollars.
Among them is the $736 million post

Montana' $ Bighorns
Increase According
To Recent Survey

One of Montana's most rare
big game species, the bighorn
sheep, is making a slow but
steady comeback on the east
slope of the Rocky Mountains in
northern Montana, according to
the results of annual trend counts
made by fish and game depart

Three hundred and sixty-nine
sheep were observed in the cur
rent winter count made last week
as compared to $50 counted the
previous year. Since 1854 when
261 sheep were counted, the num-
Der has steadily increased each
year. The counts are made in the
