very briefly, for descgregation of
Grants lunch counters in the
South. Six years ago at the stock
holders meeting ! raised the same
issue in regard to the Baltimore
store where protest actions SINH

we're taking place. Mr.. Lusten
berger louis Lustenber, prcsi
dent of the company, who chair
ed the meeting responded by as
surfing me that the head office
would look into the matter. Tn
I'll that time the head office haC
observed a hands-off policy, main
tanning that the issue could be
settled only locally, in Baltimore
which was at the time as southern
in its customs as the cities wher,
the sit-ins are occurring today
A week after the 1854 stockhold
ers meeting, Mr.. Lustcnbergel
wrote the Baltimore CORE grouI
which had been leading the pro
test action, that the store Their,
would henceforth serve ever,

In talking recently with Mr.
Rivoire Charles Rivoire, secre
tary of the company, askct
whether Grants had any regrets

change of policy in Baltimore
He said that there was none.
Today, throughout the South
the demand for a policy, chang,
is far greater than il was in Bal

New Wheat Allotment Forms
Sent To County Wheat Growers

Official notices of farm allOt-
mentS for the 1861 wheat crop
are being mailed to farmers this
week, according to Mr. Olsen,
chairman of the County Agricul-
tural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton committee. Most of the al
lotments differ only slightly from
1960-crop allotmentS, since the
national acreage allotment re-
mains at the minimum 55 million
acres which has been in effect
for the past six years. The farm
allotments are based primarily
on past wheat production history.
Chairman Mr.. Olsen points out
that all growers who will pro-
duce more than Is acres of wheat
as grain in 1861 will be eligible
to cast ballots in the July Il
referendum on marketing quotas
for the 1861 wheat crop Growers
who will have smaller acreageS
and those who are taking part
in the feed wheat program are
not eligible to cast ballots, since
the wheat from such farms would
not be subject to marketing quota
penalties.
The referendum will decide
important questions for wheat
producers" Mr.. Olsen said, land
the outcome, naturally, will
represent the will of those grow
ers who take the trouble to cast
their ballots"
IF at least two-thirds of the
growers who vote approve the
quotas, then they will be in eff
feet for the 1861 wheat crop,
marketing penalties will apply to
the excess wheat of growers who
do not comply with their farm
allotments, and price support
will be available at not less than
IS percent of parity or a mini
mum national average of Sl.78
a buShel.
IF more than one-third of the
voters oppose the quotas, there
will be no quotas or penalties
for the 1861 wheat crop, and
price support will be available
at so percent of parity, as direct
ed by law. Allotments will re-
main in effect as a condition of
price-support eligibility"
Growers who like to make
their own decisions should re-
member that date - Thursday,
July 81 - and be sure to register
their opinions by voting at the
local polling place"

Continued Lack
Of Moisture Muy
Hurt Grain Yield

According to the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture crop report
released Wednesday, most of
Montana is suffering from a
shortage of moisture and both
the grain and hay crops will be
seriously affected if the dry
spell continues.
The report indicates that spring
grains have been damaged to the
extent that the yields will be
considerably smaller than nor
NAL. The spring grains, however,
have developed rapidly due to
the warm weather and early
rains, but maturity is being
hastened too quickly in many
parts of the state.
Spring wheat, barley and oats
are each about one-fourth in the
milk stage, half are headed, one
fourth still in the boot and the
balance in the dough stage.
Summer ranges and pastures
are drying and grass is maturing
earlier than usual in most sec
tions, but grazing is still fairly
good
The hot, dry weather has en-
abled farmers to make good pro
gress with haying operations and
the first cutting of alfalfa hay
is well under way. Only about
two-fifths of the wild hay has
been harvested.
In spite of the dry conditions
over most of the state, forecasts
indicate a near record crop for
grains and an above average
yield of hay.
Locally, conditions are con
sidered hurting from lack oi
moisture, but rain over the week
end would set these conditions
back to normal.

Interest Of Citizens Is Key To
Review And Control of Taxes

Property taxes in Montana in
creased S4.5 million in 1959-60,
hitting an aIl-time high of 500
million. For Glacier, property
taxes levied increased $685. or
81 per cent this last year.
OF this amount, S742,l was
levied for public schools, $685.
088 for county taxes. $50. .389 for
city taxes, Sll4,600 for state taxes
and Sl6,9O2 for miscellaneous
purposes.
State-levied property taxes de-
creased 2 mills or about S1.3 mil
lion in 1959-60. Despite this, only
9 counties had an overall tax
reduction. The publication pre-
dicted that state-imposed levies
would increase in 1960-61.
Montsns's Parkinson Law
According to the Association,
When taxable valuations go up,
the mill levies against property
should go down proportlonately.
Too often this doesn't happen
and public officials apply the
maximum mill levies allowed un-
der law in order to gain more
operating revenue instead of Civ
ing the taxpayers relief"
The Association says this re-
suits in a sort of "Parkinson's

According to the Montana Tax

ton is the key to whether or not
taxes will continue to increase
in l960-6l. The Association states
in its quarterly publication says
there is ample provision in Mon
tana law for citizens to review
county, city and school budgets
before property tax levies are
set on August 9th. Taxpayers
by law can appear at the budget

Leaving Child In Car
Cause Of Accident

Rolling for a distance of so
feet from the alley from behind
the Glacier Drug one day last
week, a jalopy occupied by a
small youngster plowed into the
wire fence of the Ivan Nelson
property, coming to a stop when
it collided with Nelson's car,
which was parked along the run
way alongside the residence.
1t appears as though the child
accidently released the brakes,
causing the car to coast through
the drug store incinerator, snap
a steel fence post of the Nelson
property and ultimately do the
maximum damage of at least
Sl00 to Nelson's car.
