were widely publishing Marxism in
the under-developed countries where
revolution was and is abruptly oc-
curing. "Prejudice,' says this for
mer special correspondent in Russia,
Africa. and China for the Columbia
Broadcasting Company, snow re-
places what men in Lincoln's day con-
sidered the free mans pride in the
democratic detectives of revolution.
While comfortable Americans are
seeing the world in it's Cold War veil,
starving people of back countries are
seeing the world in the cold realities
of continued human sufferings."
Worthy quoted the New York
TIMES editor as saying that the
Cuban story was the greatest-yet
worst handled-story of today's press.
Turning to Latin America in general,
he told of Senator Humphreys state
ment in the Congressional Records,
May 9. 1861, in which the Senator
compared Latin America of today
with Paris on the eve of the French
Revolution. "Guatemalans," says he,
SHOULD be expected to revolt when
they now earn as little as Al cents
per hour and, according to Ameri-
cans gradual plan of improvement,
can expect fifty per cent increase
in the next ten years. (62 cents per
hour)."
He accused the United States press
of dishonesty handling the African
story. In the. American press, Afri-
cans. Asians, and Latin-Americans
are called terrorists when they revolt
against the injustices imposed upon
them by the free world. But East
Asians are freedom fighters when
they revolt against the communists.
In spite of the different titles" says
Worthy, "their objective is the same"
''The brutality performed in the
dark when honorable men of high
rank in Washington sit and think of
assassinating communist
leaders, abroad" asserts Worthy,
docs not reach the press because
Americans do not really
want to read it. Nor is the American
reader curious of the financial in
1olvement of rich Americans in the
affairs of foreign Countries
AS guest speaker for the Annual
Mems Day Convocation at Texas
Southern University Worthy warned:
Possibly as soon as four or five
.ears from now America will not be
n a position to influence world af-
airs. The United States is burning
louise which needs to be saved from
tself. Recognition of the impact of
evolution has already begun by the
american Negro, who is disillusioned
y the pace of indignation.
"The American Negro, represent
ng the possible salvation of the
United States, must now realize and
INSIST upon the urgency of an imme-
late release of color bans because
ne gradual plan of President Ken
edy will not suffice to prevent starv-
lg men from revolving against the
,atus quo. PUBLISHERS AUX

ATTEMPTS TO

Germ for the dollar than they do
for the future of the country.
On the district and county level
we are being very generous 71%o
of the cost in Montana is borne at
that level now in comparison with
the national average of 500.
Can we do more on the state level?
Perhaps, but in per capita income
growth in Montana between 1850
and 1866 we ranked 42nd in the ma
ton; between 1855 and 1860 we
ranked 50th we had no growth
at all.
The same type of inequality exists
between states of the nation as exists
between counties of state, she said.
Those who oppose federal aid to
schools are the same ones who
would repeal the federal income
tax.
Property taxes, like sales taxes,
are smaller per cent as incomes get
higher. they are regressive rather
than progressive :. they put the
burden on those least able to pay,
rather than the responsibility on those
most able to pay.

In discussing the problem of edu-
cation before the Farmer-Labor In
stftute in Missoula, the middle of No
vember, the basic principles of edu-
cation within the framework of our
society were foremost. In light of our
chronological advances, the welding
of the nation by numbers and the
flow of population from isolated
agrarian communities to mass urban
areas and how to equalize educational
opportunities to best serve the ma
ton came into sharp focus.
The discussions were divided into
three catagories which included the
state foundation program by Miss
Harriet Miller, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction.; University Sys-
tenn Financing by DIR. R. R. Renne,
president of MISC, and a panel on
Federal Aid to Education with Lloyd
Markell Of the Montana Education
Association and Mrs. Frances Logan,
National Democratic Committeewo-
man.
Mrs. Logan and Lloyd Markell pre-
scented the case for federal aid at
debate sponsored by the Lewis &
Clark Democratic Women in Helena
early in November and it was COW
cred most thoroughly in the VOICE
of November 10. l would like to refer
you to that issue for a deeper COW
erage on this phase Of financing edu-
cation than space will permit me
here.
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION
Miss Miller's presentation was de-
signed to lift the veil of mystery with
which many people try to clothe the
foundation program, by leading them
through step by step demonstration
of how school budgets are figured
under this program.
According to Miss Miller the school
foundation program is not:
Money
State money
Paying all school costs.
1t is:
A plan to guarantee every Mon
lana pupil certain basic minimum
opportunity by establish
ng floor for school expenditures.
The law says nothing about ceiling
only floor is set by law.
A plan to give the same basic
education to students who may live
n different places.
Pupils, local resources and To- ]
cal effort are the three factors on
which the foundation program is
based, and the foundation program j
law simply puts these factors into f
formula. The rest is just arithme- s
tic which anyone can do in a few 7
minutes" she said. q
Communities which are side by e
ide have the same number of stu t.
ents to educate but they may have
very different financial base. If
re carry out the law child should
OF have a different education be-
ause he lives in poor district or a
oh district.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-12-01

500 limit, which means no distric
can receive state funds of more thar
one-half of the foundation program
Miss Miller said she would not be
in favor of raising the 500 limitation
at the present time because it is q
ceiling so the district will put forth
an effort to raise funds.
The State Superintendent said
school financing problems are becom-
ing intensified because of increasing
enrollments. The school equalization
aid compromise Glib 373) of the
1861 Legislature did not help the
situation appreciably so the 1868
Legislature will be faced with even
greater school financing problems.
with half again as many pupils
as ten years ago, schools are cost
ing more, and we cannot expect
the cost to decrease. The pupils
are here, more are coming, and
they must be educated" she said.
SPECTRE OF THIRD-RATE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
DIR. Renne warned that if we don't
do something about financing higher
education in Montana we will be
faced with not second rate institu-
lions but third rate ones. He said
soaring costs and rising enrollments
have made the situation critical in
many areas, including Montana.
Total school enrollments (grade
and high schools, and colleges and
universities) have increased 81 per
cent in the past decade. Tuition and
fees paid by state residents at major
public colleges and universities have
increased more than II per cent, and
room and board costs over 80 per
cent. During the same period, the
cost-of-living index rose by about
IL per cent.
In the last five years the so mil
lion students will increase to SIS mil
lion and by 1870 to so million.
Montana University System enroll |
ments this fall increased more than |
| 300 students or nearly 13 per cent |
over a year ago. This is approximately |
double the average increase for the
nations colleges and universities. BY
1870 the enrolment in the University
units in Montana is estimated to be
about twice the 1860 enrolment of
L0,478 or about $1,000, Renne said.
The states generally have made
lerculean efforts to meet the critical
financial problems that have devel-
'ped and will continue to face US dur
ng the Cos, Renne said. Preliminary
igures from the Joint Office of In
titutional Research in Washington,
}. c., indicate that the states in
reased tax funds for public higher
ducation an average of 23 per cent
his past year.
The Montana situation is in sharp
contrast to action in other states,
since the last legislature decreased
tax funds for support of the Uni
cersity System by approximately
81 a million for the I961-62 aca-
demic year compared with last
year (196O-61) or a reduction of
1915 per cent, Renne said.
This 10 per cent cut in tax support
!; the same time the enrollments in
'eased 13 per cent portrays the
light of Montana public higher edu-
Ition today.

OPPONENTS DO NOT FACE
ISSUE SOUARELY

The weapon of those who do not
want to accept their responsibility
Mrs. Logan said, is fear, hate and
distrust of the government. They
deal in fear as against reason and
persuasion. Education and defense
are inseparable and without income
taxes we would be without funds for
defense.
The Institute ended on the theme
that capitalism would collapse with
out the income tax because the sys-
tenn would clog. 1t would bog down
because voluntary sharing is unlikely
and there would be no way to dis
tribute our goods and services.
While education and defense are
inseParable, education is the first
line of defence in democracy and
the basic principle of democracy is
equal opportunity to take part in
"the more perfect union of the
people.-GGB
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1961-12-01

Renne said education is a major
contributor to economic growth as
we'll as to social and cultural ad-
vancement and Montana can i'll af-
ford third rate quality education.
All society benefits from the edu-
cation of our people by increased
earning power, he said. A college
sheep skin is valued at about $112,-
600. Some people believe the costs
of education should be borne by the
individual while getting his educa-
ton but that is very narrow inter-
probation. They are in a position
to pay more taxes on every level
after they are out of college and
earning than while in college.
The people are going to have to
be the judge of whether we can af-
ford to educate adequately. We spend
about $3.50 of our gross national
product on education. 1t is reported
the Russians spend 10, Renne said.
EDUCATION is A PRIME
NATIONAL INTEREST
Supporting the federal aid prin-
ciple of equalizing educational oppor-
tunity Lloyd Markell said, eff we
believe we live in single society
that the purpose of our national gov
eminent is to preserve the unity of
our society and serve the individuals
of that society, we must agree the
nation has an interest in the educa-
ton of our children. He charged
that the failure of one state to edu-
cate can turn out to be Montana's
social liability, noting, five million
people year change state residence.
The federal government is the only
level at which the national wealth |
can be distributed equally for every
child in the United States. In Mon
bana, he said, this would be the one
means we could get some return for
all school taxes we are paying to
support education in other states.
AS an example he said every time
We buy car in Montana we are pay
ng a school tax in Michigan. Cor
,orate wealth is gathered elsewhere
)SCduSe VI OuI raw IldC0TIdl 6COIlOuly, |
lie pointed out.
The question does not seem to be
whether we will have federal sup
port but rather what direction it
will take, Markell stated. "The al
tentative will be further dilution
of the educational program when
our future as a nation requires bet
ter not mediocre citizens.
OUR ALTERNATIVES I
The four alternatives we have in
ducation, Mrs. Logan said, are:

axes
Additional State taxes

CUTBACKS ALL THE WAY
ALONG THE LINE

Renne discussed adjustments that
have already been made in the Uni
versity System to reduce costs includ-
ing cuts in travel expense, reduced
expenses for scientific equipment, re-
pairs and requirements, and reduc-
tions in physical plant maintenance
including painting and janitor service.
These drastic cutbacks at MISC
have been made, he said, in des-
perate effort to keep intact as far
as possible, his excellent faculty, in
the hope that the next legislature will
more squarely face the needs of the
college.
He also discussed possible academic
adjustments that could be made in
the University System to reduce costs
as well as indicating tax adjustments
that could be made during the Cos to
enable Montana to pay competitive
salaries for teachers and maintain
satisfactory quality in instruction.
