LEWISTOWN DAILY NEWS


It's high time spade be called spade on
this senseless trading stamp promotion.
liz hlgh time that people realized that only
the trade stamp promoters really benefit.
It's high time the customers realized that
tney are the ones who must pay for the trade
stamp nuisance. (Since when did the public
get something for nothing?)
And, it's high time the Montana Legislature
did something to curb, or better still, outlaw
trade stamps which drain untold thousands
upon thousands of dollars out of this State
every month
ASK the clerks or store managers or own
ers, who are trapped with trading stamps,
what they honestly think about the problem
and almost invariably they will tell you that
they, would give anything if they could get
OF the nook. The trouble is that once hooked
the merchant finds it extremely difficult to
divest himself of this nuisance because of a
fear that he will place his business at dis
advantage with his competitors. His competi-
tors stick with stamps for fear of the same
thing. And so the vicious cycle goes*
AS we understand it, most businesses pay
approximately two per cent of their gross
income to the stamp companies for the
stamps.
The hope, of course, is that this extra cost
can be made up through increased volume
through some fancied advantage over COM
petltOrS. But the trouble is that when the
competition also, in self defense, goes in for
stamps (and most of the businesses up and
down the street eventually feel forced into
giving away stamps), there is no advantage
in it for anyone Except the stamp people,
This additional cost if it does not increase
business-and how can it if everyone else is
giving stamps away-must be made up by a
corresponding increase in price It's that
simple. In the end, it's the customer who pays
for the little colored stamps.
The stamp people naturally have organized
the thing so as to realize a profit even if
EVERYONE should redeem the StamDS But
many people (and it is hard to obtain per-
centages on this) don't bother to turn in the
stamps for the prizes. This means big wind
fall for the stamp companies. Even when the

As Winter Gets Underway -.
Six Per Cent Of Covered
Employees Now JobIess

AS Montana entered December last
week, 1O,629, or six per cent of Mon
tana's work force covered by Unem-
ployment Compensation, was unem-
ployed, according to reconcilement
Of figures by the State Employment
Service and those in release Tues
day by UCC Chairman Donald D..
The six per cent is based ON the
174,80O Montanans working under
UCC covered employment in Sep
TENDER. Projected ahead, it appears
that two months hence, in the dead
of winter, substantially in excess of
10 per cent of the covered work force
will either be drawing compensation
or will have exhausted all benefits
currently available.
MACPHERSON, in issuing his weekly
report, said that the claim count last
week, as the labor market entered
its winter cycle, was 2,291 more than

Let's Eliminate the Trade Stamp Nuisance

stamps are turned in for the merchandise, the
stamp companies make another profit be-
cause the merchandise is generally priced fol
stamp redemption at retail and the stamp
people get it for wholesale or less.
In order to avoid this tremendous unearned
bonanza to the stamp companies, we under
stand some states such as California now re-
quire by law that customers may, when they
wish, obtain cash refunds for the stamps in
stead of merchandise.
The very fact that stamps are turned in
for all sorts of merchandise hurts those home
town businesses which retail these items since
people who obtain such merchandise through
stamps via out-Of-tOwn mail order obviously
are no longer potential buyers of same
Is it not obvious, therefore, that most every
one loses except the stamp promoters?
Have you considered how many thousands
of dollars are drained regularly out of Lewis
town by these stamps-dollars lost to our
people and to our merchants?
The Wyoming Legislature, as we under
stand it, outlawed trading stamps as undesir-
able, despite well-heeled and highly eff
cient trade-stamp lobby which operates in
every state legislature. 1t is reported the Wy
oming Supreme Court upheld the law which
was naturally challenged by the stamp in
terests. The people of Wyoming have thus
been delivered from this negative nuisance
by their lawmakers.
Have not the people of Montana the right
to expect the same protection?
The DAILY NEWS hopes that the next
legislature will completely outlaw trading
stamps in the state. We would be pleased in
deed to see our own Fergus legislators spon-
sor such a bill.
In the meantime, is it too much to hope
that all the retail businesses in Lewistown,
which are now hooked by trading stamps, get
together and voluntarily agree in the name
of good business enlightened self-interest and
economic sanity to abolish all trade stamps
once and for all?
Last month, Helena service stations got together
and announced that they going out of the
trading stamp business alternative increas-
ing prices their services to the motoring public.

Two-term Chouteau County Sena-
tor Gordon MCGOWAN, this week an
nounced his intentions of seeking the
post of Senate Majority leader.
The Democratic senator, father of
the MCGOWAN bill providing effective
collection methods on Montana in
come of non-residents, is also u long
time sponsor of legislation to pro-
vide for an underground water code
that this important resource may be
protected and equitab1y used for the
general welfare.
A member of the Senate since 1866,
interest in resource con-
extends back over a score
of years. He has been a member of
the board of directors of the National
Association of Soil Conservation Dis
tricbs since 1948. In 1866 he was
active on the Montana scene in help
ing build successful opposition to
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft

local control of soil conser-
vation districts. MCGOWAN sponsored

the proposed reorganization.
He is also a past president of the

Cooperate Profits

The newspapers have been carry
ing doleful reports about the "de-
cline in profits. Before taking these
stories at face value, examination of
the facts is desirable.
During the first quarter of this
year, reports the Department of Com
merce, corporate profits were at an
annual rate of $4S.8 billion. This
was $1.8 billion ahead of 1869. This
years business recession may pull
down the final 1860 figures with the
reductions mainly among small firms.
Business failures have increased by a
large margin this year; but, again,
these fatalities are among the
s'smalls'.
The big meat packing companies?
Latest information ON them is for
the first half of fiscal 1860. Every
company has announced stable prof
it increases over the first half of
1859. Armour's profit, for example,
was SAP million, compared with
$9.2 million in 1859, a. year which
was the best for the packers since
1947.
Livestock producers will know
the changes in their income
during the last few years are in step

Farm Debt Up,
Assets Down

Farm debts ON january i, 1861
will be up TO from year ago and
farm assets will be down 2%.
This was the grim word given
farmers by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture in its annual Out
look Conference in Washington.
Farm debt will total $26 billion
The rise in debts was the major
factor in the decline during 1860
of the net worth of u. S. agricul-
tuTe. Total assets will be +$199 biz.

BY putting the debts and assets
together, farm economists at the,

amount to nearly 1870, almost
double the $50 ratio of 1947.

For Fifth Time

Monday, State Engineer Fred Buck
announced that underground water
code legislation will be introduced
for the fifth time in the Montana
Legislature. Fred Sanborn, Great
Falls Soil Conservation office, is
working with Senator Gordon Nc
Gowan to perfect the bill for the
protection of this increasingly valu-
able resource.
If the difficulties experienced in
Southern California and Arizona
where wells were placed too close
to one another causing water table
coverings are to be avoided, legisla-
ton controlling the placing of wells
must be enacted.
There has been controversy as to
whom should administer the program
once it has been enacted. The first
two bills in 1853 and 1866 sessions
named the State Engineer as admin
istrator and in 1857 the administra-
ton was split between the Engineer
and the State Water Conservation
Board. In 1859 the water board was
named but it was thought that this
agency which is concerned with the
promotion of water resources would
not be a good regulatory agent. The
new bill will again split the admin
istration with the water board adj
ministering the policy set by the
Engineer.
Ten wells in Conrad were knocked
out recently by well being drilled
which was at lower level than the
others. The artesian effect of the
we'll which had been started as a |
two-inch' became a four-inch, six
inch and finally ten-inch we'll be-
fore it could be controlled.
COOPERATIVE STUDY
A study has been under way by the
School of Mines in cooperation with
the u. S. Geological Survey to deter
mine the boundaries of the under
ground pools. This study has. been
hampered as is usually the case by
the state being so big and the money
so small. Not only are the boundaries
of interest but also strata levels of
the storages. On the lower Tongue

the week before. VI that JOtaf, about
thousand claims were those carried
over from the Thanksgiving weekend
when the states employment offices
were open only three days.
One-fourth, or total of 1929 of
the claims, were filed by jobless
women.
Initial claims, filed by newly un-
employed workers, totalled 2,430, up
1902 from the prior week.

BENEFITS
Claim filing ended for 1853 unem-
ployed workers who certified to their
final (22nd) benefit payment last
week. Included were Is each at Butte
and Great Falls, II at Kalispell, and
Ia each at Billings and Livingston.
This is the time of year, MacPher-
son said, when much of the states
labor market patterns are subject to
a variety of seasonal and climatic
factors. Last week snow and cold
weather cut into employment totals
in construction, numbering, agricul-
ture, and oil field work. Heaviest
construction layoffs occurred at Bill
lings, Glasgow, Great Falls and Hell
ena. The weather was blamed for the
shutdown of five oil rigs at Cut Bank.
500 SEASONAL WORKERS
LAID OFF
The end of the sugar beet refining
at Hardin and Missoula
idled approximately 500 seasonal
workers. Completion of the Christ
mas tree harvest accounted for most
Of the claim increase at Poison. The
new additional unemployed at Butte
meat packing workers idled
by recent fire there. A few miners
we're also laid off in the Mining City
asst week. Seasonal adjustments of
forces were being made at
ogging camps and sawmills. Some
small units were closed for the winter
months, while others were still oper-
ating on short-work weeks.

Question: Who are the peo-
pie known as the Old Time
Believers? In the last year
I read they had migrated from

Answer: These are a small
body of Christians who es-
capped into China from Russia
after the Communists estab-
ished the Soviet Union. They
are Of Eastern Orthodox back
ground, but could not abide
Communist rule. They belong to
the anti Communist group
known as white Russians"
Now that communism has
captured most Of China, this
small group. calling itself "Old
Believers" has fled into Hong
Kong and, recently, has secured
the permission Of the Brazilian
government to settle in Brazil
as political refugees.
