/ With two-thirds of the world in
want, Mike thought the farm sur
pluses might be brought to bear on
world problems. With the govern
ment paying three million a day for
storage after the seven good years
of harvest, and 40 per cent of the
people remaining on the farms hold
ing second job it may be well for
the government to consider being
charitable to the underprivileged
nations. The long term loan programs
must be continued to farmers be-
cause one bad year could destroy
this country's agricultural might.
All in all, Mike gave a pretty
good talk and almost got as big a
hand as that accorded Senator Ben
Stein. Stein was not asked to talk
even though he had the Informal

Rails Back Newman,
Daniels In Powell

Editor of Peoples Voice.
Three cheers for the Billings for a
splendid job of exposing the fake ad-
vertising statements put out in our
local paper, trying to discredit the fine
Democratic candidates we have on our
ticket.
Kermit Daniels voting record has
never been below 900 in all the years
he has served us. Who could expect
more?
Few people realize the sacrifices he
has made in their behalf by leaving his
law office to go to legislature for go
days. Has Mannix with his IA voting
record in the last Legislature, served
us half as well?
Dave Newman; who seeks to serve
us in the Senate, would with his sense
of fair play, working with Daniels,
make wonderful team for Powell
county.
The four opera ting Railway Brother
hoods Fundamentally endorse Daniels
and Newman. Let us back them all the
way and encourage voters to study
the records, and not be misled by false
advertising-MRS.J JASPER A. JONES.

period he spent at the WASHO con-
vention and the regular employee re-
ceived $67.9O for like period.
The 81 a day travel expense is
dangerously low, because it puts
temptation in the path of the en-
ploye who is faced with making up
the difference in what the state pays
him and what it actually costs to be
away from home.
Registration fees, paid by the state
for it's employees, and, fees paid by
other participants who attended the
conference helped defray part of the
cost of the convention. Where did
the rest of the financing come from?
The state treasury? Or were Highway
personnel feted by con-
tractors whose construction work the
Highway Department and it's COM
must supervise? Super
vision the state must exercise to make
sure contractors don't cut corners
in their work for the state?

NUtter Taken In By
Political Con Man.?

Indian leaders, national, regiona,
and state have angrily repudiated an
endorsement for Don Nutter. Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, given
by a group calling itself the National
Association for the Advancement of
the American Indians, according to
Walter Macdonald, president of the
Northwest Affiliated Tribes.
The eastern association, MacDon-
aid said, is unknown to Northwest
Indians, and the endorsement is "out-
rageous" and without our knowl-
edge.
Elmer Main of Frazer, member of
the Fort Belknap Tribe. said Sin my
many years of active participation in
Indian affairs, I had never heard
of this association until Mr.. Nutter
issued the self-serving announcement
that he has it's endorsement.
Other candidates were approached
by the representative of this so-called
Indian organization and told that for
a certain sum of money he would cir
culate the membership Cor portion
thereof according to the amount
paid) of the people he purported to
speak for.
Checks made by Indians and others
through federal sources revealed no
such Indian organization. and mail

called spokesman has been returned.

Signs of the Dimes Paid
For With Gas Tax, That Is!

Monday the Highway Department
learned at their staff meeting that
there will be advertisements placed
along each and every new piece of
road telling the amount put up by
state taxes and by the Bureau of
Public Roads. The Commercials
will be for each type of contract let.
The signs will read, "Grading and
draining, SO much by the Bureau
Of Public Roads, and so little put
up by Montana. "Surfacing'' cost
this much at the same ratio. sStrip-
ping and Signing, likewise.
1t was not clear whether there
would be sign telling of the cost
of the commercials you will get
every 15 minutes of driving but the
Bureau is sharing the cost in them
also.

Catholic Register
Of 1851 Backs Up
Cunnon's Assertion

| In Nv broadcast MONDAY eve
ming that was heard in Helena, the
Republican candidate for Governor
Don Nutter, accused Paul Cannon o1
misrepresentation" in Ia political
advertisement Cannon carried in the
Catholic Register. sa
The advertisement said Cannon
had broken a tie and thus killed a
bill m the 1851 State Senate that
would have taxed church commercial
property and that Nutter had voted
in favor of this bill Glib 1887.
There have been lot of calls TO
the VOICE to find out just what did
happen in 1851.
From the files in this office we
can at least determine that the words
in Cannon's ad are almost verbatim
from a story that appeared in the
Catholic Register two weeks after
the close of the 1851 session, so
church people must have felt that
their commercial property was in
cluded in the bill as it went to a
final vote when Cannon broke the
tie by voting against it and Nutter
voted in favor of it.
The bill under question had been
debated for many weeks in the leg
islature. Nutter was the Senate Floor
Leader trying to get it through the
Senate.
The Catholic Register said, Gas
surances were given repeatedly by
those favoring the passage of the
measure that they were willing to
change the bill in any way to pro-
tect the interests of churches, schools
and charitable institutions. However,
the debate and voting on the bill
showed that they were not willing
to remove the words which would
bring about the taxing of the income
of the same institutions"
In the dying days of the legisla-
lure, Nutter, determined to tax CO.
operatives at any cost, moved to
strike the clause taxing the income
If religious, educational and charit-
lble institutions, but his motion did
lot carry. Had religious and other

lutter would have had his tax on
oops but the original intent of the
I'LL could not be forgotten, and the
emotional last minute attempts to
let the church groups out of the act
i'd not work. Il
In the final analysis Nutter did
vote for the bill regardless of how
church people felt about the effect
it would have on them and Cannon
voted against it.
Nutter's amendment was not in the
Ill when he voted for it.
1t was bad bill from beginning
D end. No amendments would have
iven church or charitable organi-
atoms the assurance they wanted /.
nd still accomplish the aims of the
eople who supported it.

the man who may very likely be the
Senate Leader under Johnson who
would sign the declarations of war.
In this, the atomic age, the bones on
my plate did not look very comfort
ing.
n When he was interviewed after
the dinner he expressed concern that
the people in Montana seemed smugly
complacent about the prospects of
the United States being attacked by
the hell bombs an attitude not held
in Washington and the eastern cities.
I hope he was just trying to shake
us up little.
l thought Mike did a wonderful
job in showing up the Eisenhower
Administration fool-hardy use of
the unilateral embargo on the Castro
government in Cuba. If the Republi-
can administration had really been
concerned with Castro they could
have worked through the American
States Organization or the United
Nations. The unilateral embargo
hurts only domestic business even
though there have been short time
gains in the sugar beet industry. |
American firms overseas are still al
lowed to do business with Castro. The
Canadians and the other nations of
this hemisphere are getting Cuban
trade along with the European coun-
tries. Communist nations are de-
lighted with the arrangement.
The embargo can only mean that
we are meddling in the internal af-
fairs of another country, not to af-
feet Cuba. but the elections in the
United States. I can only hope the
move of despair is a cor
rect appraisal of the political scene
in the u. s. When the Republicans
would destroy international agree
nents, risk global war, and treat
lightly efforts of the centuries by 1
to try to put Nixon
n power they deserve to lose.

NUTTER, NO FRIEND
OF EDUCATION

Concerning Nutter's "last week
liberalism" on school and other legis-
lative proposals, TIMBER recalled the
COP candidates record his four Sen
ate terms before the people of Rich
land county retired him from office.
Asking, "has he changed?" the
labor leader pointed out that "this
is the same Nutter who voted against
the school foundation program" as
passed by the House Gin 1855 and
1857.
HE voted against the local school
board budget authority increases in
1855 and again in 1857, he voted
against repeal of the royalty ceilings
on school oil lands in 1857.

ssHe now comes before you and
seeks your vote by declaring himself
against the mis-named right

either, for it or against it when it
counted. But he, is running on a
