Visiting on street corners, in school

of this important campaign. Montan-
ans are speaking out squarely. They

judgment on such key issues as:
Montana Development: We must
attract. and hold, new industry, which
will create new jobs, and build new
prosperity. This will create broad
ened tax base and reduce the amount
each of US must pay for essential pub
lie services. The Federal government,
which holds title to more than one
third of Montana's land, should share
substantial part of the cost of the
resource development.
Invitations: The unchecked in
crease in the cost of living has taken
a dime out of every dollar in these
past seven Republican years. This
initiation is caused by monopoly
prices, rising interest rates, an unfair
tax policy and fragrant waste in adj
ministration.
Federal Spending: Expenditures
must be cut wherever vital programs
will not be impaired, nor the burden
merely shifted to local property
taxes, already too high.
The Farm Program: There can
be no real and general prosperity
if farmers do not share in the fruits
of their production. Low income lev

Resource Developments: We must
continually strive for the conserva-
ton, orderly development, wise man
agement and highest possible use of
the natural resources with which
Montana is blessed, including invest
ment in the national forest access
roads which-if built-could more
than double the return from our pub
lie lands.
Labor: We must rewrite existing
labor law to make it equally fair to
employers, employees and the gen.
eral public; increase and extend the
coverage of the minimum wage; and
improve unemployment and work
mems compensation.
Human Resources: There must
be a desk and a qualified teacher for
every school-age child. hospital bed
for our i'll and injured.
Our Raw Material Economy:
There must be protection for our
basic industry, including mining,
from the competition of cheap for
eign labor.
Social Security: Dignity and de-
cency are the least we can help our
senior citizens provide for themselves.
We can improve the Social Security
program without making charity
cases of the elderly.
Keeping the Peace: Our highest
goal is true and lasting peace. We
seek world peace through arms lini-
tation and alienation of the causes
of war.

Why the Loss?
If there is to be such a gair
