pathies lay with the faculty. Ran
som, whose administrative phil
osphy is more to encourage dissent
than to resolve it, said: I'VE should
proceed with both a respect for
the public trusteeship of the re-
gents on the one hand and the
completely honest and sincere ex-
preston of opinion of the members
of the university community on
the other" But that the regents
were as responsible in their public
trusteeship seemed dubious; the
most recent poll of public opinion
in Texas showed that voters fav-
ored school indignation by 2 to 1.
Students Gather Each Morning
The students have been more
cheered by the faculty than sad
dened by the regents. Encouraged
in their forceful, legal, quiet re-
bellion, they gather each morning
near the administration building,
where, beneath the university tow
er, they recite over and over in
unison the inscription written
there as the university's motto:
I'VE shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free"

ton was still continuing of the first
witness of the Montana Power Com

two full days of hearings only the

taken part in the cross examination.
AS the days go by the early predic-

days seems less exaggerated.
Protesting groups, represented by

Very Little
State Auto
Use-Abuse

Not more than three per cent of
the states employees are misusing
state cars assigned to them, Con-
troller Walter Anderson stated
this week.
Anderson made this announce
ment in publicising rules to be
followed by state employees as
signed state cars, and for depart
mental heads in determining what
constitutes authorized use.
The Controllers action came
about as a result of widely publ
cised intention by Governor Nutter
to crack down on the alleged use
of official cars for family recrea-
tional purposes, shopping, going
home to lunch, movies, evening
drives and numerous other mis-
uses"
Use-abuse of state cars, like
abuse of the Unemployment Comp.
program by an Enthusiastically
small percentage of workers, and
the maldoings of few bankers,
is/of the IMAM bites dog" category.
The exception (3%) makes the
headlines, but the questionable in
ference stigmatizes the 81 per cent
as we'll.
Maybe someday-when utopia"
arrives-public officials will have
sense enough to quietly investi-
gate before broadcasting charges
to the wide winds; charges which
cannot be substantiated and which
in no way shore up the morale of
the overwhelming majority Of dedi-.
Gated, sincere people who lend
their abilities to making demo-
cratic government function.-HLB

white continued. 'Here in Montana"
he said, 1--WE have hundreds of skilled

would like nothing better than to be

"Too,' he said, 1--WE are most APP

situation our farm neighbors are in.

see jobs open up on highway con-

set forth by the Republican admin

tax to the people.
He said one of the arguments used
for sales tax was that it would
replace other taxes, but the facts
of the matter are that corporations
do not eat much food or buy any
shoes. "They are a sterile fiction of

The hearing started off with a
bang when Rep. Marshall Murray
(R-Flathead), took the stand in ia
vor of the rate increase, first so Kali
spell could have gas, and secondly,
for the increase regardless of whether
they could have gas or not, he thought
Montana Power should receive the
increase.
Second on the agenda was the
announcement that the request by

of the present hearing.
Thirdly, before getting to the
cross-examination of company Off

sion in the Interstate program.
BATTIN BATTLES

While Battin's bills have baff1ed
Eastern Montana the Highway Com
mission has drafted resolution under
the direction of Commissioner Ted
James to clarity the priority to be
given various routes if additional
Interstate mileage should be allo-
Gated to Montana. The Billings-Gre
Falls road would get first considera-
tion and next the Shelby-west road.
After that north-south route would
be considered.
When the Powder River Trail
delegation learned of the policy to
be formed, Bowler charged that
''we have been toyed with" and re-
marked that this policy was the
"nigger in the woodpile" which
had wasted their time.
A. r. Appelgren, Wolf Point bank
er, felt that this would surely cause
the Canadians to back the Dakota
road through Wilhston if the Inter
state program became an information
al point.
Senator Mike Mansfield had earlier
urged that the towns in Eastern Mon
tana get together and recommend a
single route to the commission. Even
if the north-south plans were firm
Congress would be reluctant TO furn-
ish funds until the original Inter
state program is completed.

Additional Funds
For Farm Housing
CONTINUED from page one)


istration, Mr.. Young said The
loans bear percent interest and
are repayable over periods up to
SO years.
The major demand in Sussex
County is for loans TO construct
and modernize farm houses, and
most OF the funds are used for
new construction.
improvements financed with the
loans include the installation of
central heating, and pressure wa
ter supply systems, the addition of
bathrooms and the modernization
of kitchens.
Many local farmers also use the
loans to adjust their service build
ings to the changing requirements
of agriculture. A frequent ex-
ample in this area. Mr.. Young
said. is the conversion of obsolete
dairy facilities by the construc-
tion of a modern milking parlor
and loafiing barn.
To be eligible a farmer must
own a farm that will annually
produce for sale or home use at
least $500 worth of commodities
based on 1914 prices and be of
sufficient value to adequately Sc
cure the loan. In addition, he must
lack the resources needed to OBJ
tain credit elsewhere and have
sufficient income to pay farm OPP
Grating and family living expenses
and meet payments when due on
his debts.
