AS the public gradually became
aroused over how badly the economy
of the state and many of it's COM

by the hundreds in important rail

Similar action has been taken

Before the late DIR. Albert Elm,
stein died, he was asked by re.
porter: "What do you think World
War III will be fought with?' And
remember-that question was asked
only just Neutrality-suspicious. the H.
Bomb and the guided missile-when
the "big weapon" was the firecracker
size atom bomb.
Einstein replied: 81 don't know.
But can tell you what World War
Nv will be fought with" And to the
reporters amazement, the great sci
enlist added: with stonesw If. DR..
Einstein were with us today, he would
no doubt amend that to say-"if
there are any people left to throw
them"
Former Oregon Congressman
Charles o. Porter reported in an
article entitled, Accident or Aggres-
sion," in THE NATION magazine,
March 3, 1860, that at a meeting
he had attended the year before,
Philip Noel-Baker, member of the
British Parliament, Nobel Prize win
ner and world-renown arms author
ity. stated: 81 believe that in 10
years we will all be dead and the
earth will be an incinerated relic"
And the man standing next to Noel
Baker, top scientist advisor in our
own government, told Porter: 81 be-
lieve so too"
Just recently one of our eminent
scientists pointed out that-unless
present tensions are relaxed, un-
less present trends are reversed
there is no longer just probable
ity, but certainty, of nuclear war
in the next 10 years.
That is why Senator Stephen M
Young of Ohio, a much decorated
veteran of World Wars I and III,
warned on Feb. 9th, in speech on
the floor of the u. S. Senate, that
the longer we wait to do something
about it, ''the greater become the
possibilities of war no one wants.
Nuclear weapons have made war obso-
lete as an instrument of national pol
cy. Science has made war impossible
f mankind is to endure on this planet.

their business heating bills by as

president of Harding College.


A recent article in LABOR pointed
out that Harding College is being
used as an educational 'front.' fo1
vast and insidious propaganda, such
as cartoons that are being shown at
your neighborhood movie.
Cartoons stemming from these
groups have been making comic char
acters that ridicule the New Deal
and Fair Deal and suggest that such
things as Social Security and taxing
the rich are leading to socialism or
communism.
Reed Larson, the National RTW
Committees executive vice president,
suggests that parts of the current re-
curgence of conservatism and inter-
est in right-to-work legislation results
from logged, little-noticed campaign
ing in the last two years to dispel
the notion that the movement was
through. Thousands of miles have
been logged in travelling the country
carrying the freedom message" by
members of the national committee.
They say that last fall labor union
efforts to defeat right-to-work candi-
dates or office-holders in seven states
were repulsed and efforts to repeal
existing right-to-work laws have
failed.
Mr.. Larson said this kind of good
news keeps up the members spirits

"Please note the words, at this
time and contrast them with Mr..
Corette's statement, The Corps of
Engineers recommendation casts Sc
rious doubt, on the other hand, as
to when Knowles would be built, if
ever.
"This is not the only misleading por-
ton of the power executives re-
lease" Mrs. Logan continued. ''Mr.
Corette states as fact his personal
opinion that the area would be de-
prived of millions of tax dollars.
This opinion is contradicted by the
facts. That the counties would not
have taxes channeled through Mon
tana Power Company but actually
paid by users of electricity, goes with
out saying. This is not the same as
being deprived of tax dollars.
what has happened in Flathead
county proves to anyone who is
willing to examine facts with an
open mind, that a federal dam
brings industry and that this in
dustry pays taxes that are just as
valuable and considerably larger
in amount than those paid by a
utility.
According to its own press re-
lease of December 8, 1860, the Power
Company will pay Lake county a
check in the amount of $181,412 in
payment of it's first-half property
taxes for fiscal 1860. This is a drop
Of $12,928 from the amount it paid
two years previously, as reported in
It's release of December 4, 1853.
Contrast this" Mrs. Logan con-
,inued, with the property tax of
S636,958 paid by Anaconda Alumni
lum to Flathead county in the year
l958-59. According to a study by
he Bureau of Business and Economic
Research of Montana State Univer-
iity, the aluminium company paid 23
oer cent of the total taxes levied for
I'll county purposes, 62.3 per cent
# the taxes of School District No. 6,
md 59.4 per cent of Columbia Falls
high School Districts taxes.
(Which county is better off? The
University report answers this
question in its summary: AS a re-
suit of the substantial tax burden
assumed by the plant, Flathead
county residents have found them
selves in a generally favorable tax
position with respect to other Mon
tanans'," Mrs. Logan concluded.

APPROACHES TO PEACE
A MEANS TO EXPLORE NEW

eve could try to answer these
questions if an independent agency
to explore new approaches to peace
were to be created. Such an agency
could also train the experts whom
we will need to man the inspection
posts in any international disarma-
ment agreement. Such an agency is
necessary to discover the hard facts
upon which our State Department
can build sensible policy in negotiat-
ing with other nations"
The late President Roosevelt
summed up this number one issue
facing all mankind in his last speech,
written the day before he died, and
intended to have been broadcast on
Friday, April 18th. 1915, the day
following his death.
"Today we are faced with the pre-
eminent fact,'' said FDR, chat, if
civilization is to survive, we must
cultivate the science of human rela-
tionships ability of all peoples,
OF all kinds, to live together and work
together in the same world, at peace
!. The work, my friends, is peace

end to the beginning of all wars, yes,
an end, forever, to this impractical,

in Laos, in Vietnam, in Berlin
and the Congo, and now in Cuba.
All other issues before us pale into
insignificance alongside of this
one: human survival or human ex-
tinction. AS to the time left to re-
solve this life or death question,
it is clear, as the words on the clock
in the Spanish square said: "It is
later than you think"

Rate-making procedures are involved
and complex. Without the testimony
of qualified experts to present any
facts which may exist to show that
there is no need for an increase, or
that the increase need not be as
large as that requested, our Public
Service Commission may be forced
to endorse a blank check to Montana
Power"
Following his remarks, the Lewis
& Clark club resolved to investigate
the possibility of forming a nom
partisan consumers protective league
and raising funds to hire an attorney
and qualified rate experts to insure
full disclosure at the commission
hearings ON the requested in
creases. Jerry Lowney, chairman Of
the club reorganization committee,
has announced that the Young Demos
would invite a specialist in the field
of public utility rates to speak in the
near future.

In the Capital City there is much
talk of forming a state league which
would seek to cooperate with the

LARGE NUMBER OF
MERGER PROPOSALS

In Announcing the antitrust divi-
sion's intention of probing the GIN
MP merger move, Assistant Attorney
General Lee Loevinger told Mon
tana's senators that he is very much
aware of the fact that there are d
large number of railroad mergers
and consultations presently under
consideration by the ICC and that
additional mergers are being dis
cussed.
"The elimination of competition in
any area of our economy" he said,
''is matter of great concern to all
the people in this country
Loevinger also said that the Chi
cago office of the antitrust division
would conduct the probe.
BAD DEAL, COMPETITIVELY
The Milwaukee Road, in protest
ing, contends that the proposed merg-
er is against the public interest,
along with being against Milwaukee's
interest. The routes officials point
out that it would have to compete

The safeguards proposed by Mil
waukee include granting of shippers
a choice of routes at western juno
lions, such as at Missoula, Butte,
Miles City and Great Falls.
Another involves rights in Wash
ington and Oregon on tracks of the
merged railroad, (and very
probably, ana.-EDITOR).
Others would abolish the present
system of dual switching rates in the |

called for by Senator Young? One
immediate thing we can do is to
write to our own members of Con-
gress and urge them to vote for
and actively support HR 1886, the
bill to create a National Peace
Agency.
HR 1886 was introduced by Rep.
Robert w. Kastenmeier Owls. and
26 other Democrats and Republicans.
The main purpose of such National
Peace Agency, pointed out Rep. Kas-
tenmeier, in the House of Representa-
tives, January 26th. would be to
mobilize the creative power of
American ideas to solve the great
problems of disarmament and of re-
1ucing international tensions. 1t
would involve physical and social
scientists, teachers, public officials,
and private citizens in an attempt to |
bring imagination and thought to
bear on the problems of achieving
peace. These problems are many and
complex.
For instance, we can work out q
way to detect tests of chemical and
meteorological weapons? We do not
