School Kids
Subsidize
Stocknlen

When stockmen deprive the
State of fair revenues on school
grazing lands "they are being
subsidized, at the expense OF
the education of our children,
said Silver Bow Rep. Ray Way
rynen at Democratic regional
meeting in Helena last Thurs
day evening.
Sharing the platform with Wayry-
men were Lewis & Clark Rep. Tom
Judge. and former Meagher Senator
Paul Ringing. Judge Left Erickson
chaired the meeting.
Wayrynen, in opening the discus
sion ON how poorly State grazing
lands aid education in Montana, said
that "too few people are cognizant
of the value of our state lands a
value which is too little appreciated, I"
and that "every dollar from them is a
dollar we don't have to take from
taxes
Recalling how the cowboys" in
The GOP-controlled 1861 House
threw their weight around" in order
to kill a bipartisan sponsored bill
(HB 33) to bring state grazing rent
ais, nearer to rentals currently paid
on federal and private lands, Wayry-
men said that the State Constitution,
Art. XVIII, Sec. / states that there
shall be "no disposal of State prop
erty unless we receive full market
value" The courts have held, he
continued, that Teasing constitutes
disposal.
He then asked: care we realizing
full market value when these lands
are going for about one-fourth of
commercial leases?'
Because school land rentals are
so far below private and federal
schedules, the Montana schools are
losing more than a million dollars
a year from this source million
dollars which must be made up by
local property taxes in order to
maintain education.
Wayrynen said that HB 33 was a
Montana Legislative Council proposal
which had been drafted only after
an exhaustive study of land leasing
rates in Montana.
TAXES PAY FOR SERVICES
WE DEMAND
Paul Ringing, discussing taxes and
budgets, said that taxes pay for serv-
ices we demand. eve must provide
the money to pay for that govern
ment, whether schools, cities, counties
or states" etc.

STATES HAVE REACHED
A DEAD END
The states have reached dead
end, and Earl Coe, director of Wash
ington State Department of Conser-
walton. said as much when he asked,
What is it possible for us to do? This
is the United States of America, he
said, "the whole problem of water
development must be based on this
relationship.
"We have our feet in the sewer
and our heads in the Clouds" the
Washington man stated, adding,
what helps one helps ALL" He said
the Columbia Basin Inter-Agency
Commission has not been accomplish
ing what it was set up to do and the
states have not been using it for the
purposes for which it was designed.
Referring to the opposition to
working with the federal government
Coe said it was a fearful objection
working with an organization domi-
mated by one man, as Murphy had
described 2246 and the role of the
President Of the United States. How
ever Coe said, II feel have tool
within myself which is pencil and
the right to use it and can change
the whole picture if | want to, and
| am not sure / do not lose my tool
when we use other organizations to
work through.
He said the reason the states are
not doing more in the development
of resources is the lack of money
and we need method of working
more and more with ourselves as the
federal government. We want to be
in position to plan for what we
feel is our betterment in the Column
bia Basin and it behooves us to do
this job for ourselves, and | welcome
a new tool and that is some money,
he stated.
We are only going to solve our
problems by working together, and

LITTLE LIGHT SHED ON
PROBLEM

The subject of the conference was
to discuss the means of achieving
greater state and local participation
in water resource development, but
at the conclusion little light had been
shed as to what really might be done
at the state and local level to meet
the compelling needs of nation
gripped by pressing economic and
social demands on natural resources.

PEOPLE NEED TO BE
FAIRLY INFORMED"

"The people of Montana are willing
to pay for the best schooling for their
children but this can only be so if
the people are fairly informed. Our
people are not going to buy pig in
poke and the best way to determine
the facts is through the democratic
processes set out in the Constitu-
ton. Lets get going in this direction
at the earliest possible moment" the
Attorney General continued.
Anderson said that for the last six
or seven months the feeling on the
board hasn't been what it should be.
He also wanted to know why, if Mel
sons figures are valid, the board
has on it a banker from Reserve
George Lund) and banker from
Philipsburg (Boyington Paige).
Nutter's use of his appointees to
attack the Board of Education
which he heads only confuses the
general public of Montana. What
other motive, if any, could the
Governor have?
Part of the feeling referred to
by Anderson manifested itself in the
morning session at which the recently
legalized dentist of Helena, DR.. Cor
don Doering, and Mrs. Dorothy Byrne,
wife of Helena cab company opera
tor, again attempted to harrass Glen
Lockwood, Vocational Rehabilitation
director, for allowing two members
of his staff to travel outside the
boundaries of our state in the pur-
suit of their duties. The trips re-
ceived approval from the board.

marriage history ran into again and again went
like this:
The bride kept her job after the wedding,
that the marriage itself did not greatly alter her
daily life. Dating before marriage had built up
strong feeling of companionship between the young
people, that in respect to leisure time, too,
riage brought less of change than might be
expected Immediately after marriage, the young
couple had good economic security = only them
selves to support, and two jobs Il plus deepening
love and broadening companionship.
Then came the baby. At first the bond between
the husband and wife was strengthened by the new
arrival. There was a sort of honeymoon STAGE of
the three-way relationship. But the basis of
the old companionship Disappeared; the wife
tied down at home, her time crowded. The couple
could longer easily go out together just to have
a good time. Companonship declined And the
wifes satisfaction with this companionship, which

Il he ARRIVAL OF CHILDREN, we have all be-

he ARRIVAL OF CHILDREN, we have all be-
ieved for generations, strengthens marriage.
Countless young couples in difficulties have been
advised, Have baby and it will save your
riage." Social scientists have raised occasional
doubts about this thesis but until recently we have
never had any serious evidence that it was untrue.
Today, we have such evidence. The most sobering
discovery my colleague DR.. Donald M. Wolfe, and
myself made in our fUe-year Detroit Area Study is
that the arrival of children constitutes the grauest
crisis that the average american marriage encounters
At the same time, we also found that children
themselves are more, popular than Childless
couples are no happier than couples with children
- they are less happy. Practically no American
couple today is Intentionally childless Even the
one-child family is thing of the past. Today's
young married people almost unanimously want
several children.
Thus what we uncovered in our Detroit study
was basic paradox in modern living. Young
couples want children and enjoy them yet the
arrival of children imperils the marriage
To understand why this is, listen to Mrs. Helen
c., one of the 900 wives we interviewed
''The first two years of our marriage were
wonderful. q. Yes, there was some conflict but we

had been very important to her, also declined.
At the same time the wife's income was gone,
and the baby an added expense. The standard of
living dropped, and quarreIs over money developed
OUR CRANDMOTHERs did not have the
problems. Rarely was the bride of so years ago
employed even before her marriage, and almost
never after it. Courtship more formalized and
less intimate. Thus marriage itself brought the great
change in a woman's life. And when the children
began coming, she generally had advantage which
in our more jobmobiIe age woman often misses
the nearness of family and friends to help out
And finally, today we have raised our standards
of what expect out of life. Brides of years ago
didn't really expect to live happily after
Today wife expects the happy comPanionshiP of
the early days to continue; if it is interrupted she
is disappointed and frustrated.
What can we do to overcome the crisis that
children bring to marriage? believe our Detroit
study provides some valuable insights.
First: Whatever one thinks of chd-spacing, there
is question that in the average marriage the num-
Der of children and the intervals between them

feeding changing stage, both parents need
breathing space to recover their companionship
And while the fright" number of children naturally
depends the couple, study indicated that for
the average family, three children is probably ideal
This does not mean that every couple must stop
having children after No. g. What it means is that
extra effort must be made to keep the marriage
successful.
Second: What sort of effort? The second insight
study provided was this: Among middle-aged
couples, when the children grow up and leave home,
there is sort of second honeymoon in which the
husband and wife get reacquainted with each other.
It's happy, stress-free stage of marriage.
Why couldn't they have done it all along?

home sooner - but that parents should leave home
