Living Cost Hike
Not Due to Higher
Farm Product Prices

GREAT FALLS-Farmers are not
the cause of the new high cost of liv-
ing reported by the Labor Depart
ment. Leonard Kenfield, president
of Montana Farmers Union, said this
week. Actually, food prices get their
start at a low level on the farm; they
grow up elsewhere. Furthermore
food is only one of many items in
the market basket covered by the
consumer cost of living index.
"For the wheat in pound loaf Of
white bread that retails for Fl cents
the farmer gets only two and a third
cents" the farm leader pointed out.
"In the last ten years the price of
bread has climbed steadily; yet the
farmers share in the loaf of bread
has fallen Is per cent.
"Wheat at $500 bushel would
boost the farmers share in the loaf
only about one-quarter cent and need
have no effect on consumer price
unless professors choose to pass the
fraction on.
Moreover" ne said, 'the cur
rent consumer index aside, a pro-
posed increase in bread prices can
have no relationship to the an
nounced government price support
increase for wheat because the lat
ter will not go into effect until
next year.
''The great disparity between what
the consumer pays and the farmer
gets prevails with other commodities.
For example, the farmer is lucky to
get IL cents for the quart of milk
The consumer pays 26 cents for. Beef
ut the producers hands averages less
han 20 cents pound: but when it
moves across the retail counter it |
Increases amazingly in price, even if |
t is hamburger. Not only are farm
,rice historically law" Kenfield con-
Iuded, ''but over the years open
market prices on such staples as red
meats, potatoes and eggs are widely
rratic. having none of the lofty
liability of such things as automo-
lies, trucks, refrigerators, shoes and
host of other goods"

Supt. Alex b. Stephenson has
announced that the Montana High
way Patrol is instituting stronger
law enforcement program in the
months to come. The Labor Day
holiday has always been particu-
larly hazardous for motorists, who
are taking one more trip before
the summer ends and school ties

Each year many people.are killed
and injured in this last summer
vacation trip. All available patrol
men will be on duty during this
holiday period with instructions to
intensity enforcement on all haz-
ardous violations. "Speed and drink
are our greatest killers" he said,
land we will use every method
within our power to apprehend the
driver who insists upon endanger-
ing not only his own life, but the
lives of others on our highways"
In accordance with the Cover
nor's proclamation, all Montana

with their lights on during the

and an interference with" their du
ties. He contended the writ of pro
hibition signed by Judge Bottomly
was in excess of the jurisdiction OF
the 9Th judicial district.
The State high court orders Judge
Bottomly and the representative of
the co-operatives involved in the case
to appear before them on September
18 at 10 am. to show cause why the
order dismissing the district court
ruling should not be permanent.
Montana is the first state in the
nation to overthrow the principle
of taxation of co-operatives that
has been accepted since their in
ception.
While the State Board of Equaliza-
ton did not have to appear in the
9Th judicial district court until Sep
TENDER IL, the action Wednesday was
probably precipitated by request
for them to appear in the offices
of the Co-operatives' attorney, Hugh
Massman, to give dispositions, which
the Board called nothing but a fish
