William Knox, editor of Hoard's
Dairyman and son of Congressman
Victor Knox (R-Mich.), cited the find
ings of three Iowa State University
economists. He told 500 farmers who
own Gold Spot Dairy here that, if
price supports were removed, egg

per month. AT that time, w. j. Fouse
Welfare Department administrator
said it was his judgment that at least
40 of the most recent applicants fol
silicosis payments would be eligible
for compensation under the new in
dustrial disease law.
So the questions arose:
Why had these people not applied
under the new law?
. Is there conflict of administers
tive interests?
Should a "business-like admin
istrationr be encouraging administra-
tion of the new law in the interests
of the taxpayers?
Could the Industrial Accident
Board be accelerating the administra-
ton and use of the law?
Are there amendments needed
in the present law to make it opera
tive? What will be the attitude of the
next legislature if the law is not
administered?
From the angle of silicotic, who,
is in the third stage of the disease,
when he becomes eligible for pay
ments there is probably no particular
urge to fight through an interpreted
ton of a new law when he can receive
$75 a month without possible in
with legal advice. A bird
in-the-hand type of thing. And who
would blame him. Time statistics GER
tainly are not in his favor. Neither
is there, at this stage of the game,
any determination of how much he
would receive were he to apply under
,he new law. There are no secondary

Funds Sought To Carry Court
Fight Over Highway Routing

Currently i'm the courts is a case
brought by Yellowstone Rep. Joe
Void asking that the State Highway
Commission show cause why it should
mt be restrained from constructing
a major bridge across the Yellowstone
River near Reedpoint.
Void, acting for himself and on
behalf of a number of Yellowstone
valley farmers, has been trying for
three years to get the commission to
reroute Interstate 80 from the valley
bottom to higher, less valuable agri-
cultural land.
The commission has repeatedly
turned down the requests of the
valleys farmers, even though fin
ally admitting that the upper route
could be constructed for consider

The lack of use of the new indus

in the past few weeks by an announce
