In Name of "Fat-Cutting" l..
House COP Forcing
Issue of Federal
Aid to Education

ga group whose only interest is
self, and whose coat of arms is the
dollar sign imposed upon black
shroud of ignorance, has dealt an
other Gripping blow to the school
children and real property taxpayers
of Montana. While vain pleas were
made to permit debate on SD ITO,
the bill increasing the budgeting pow
er as it relates to the school founda-
tion program, the House Republican
majority refused to let it's propon-
ents be heard" Minority Leader M.
K. Daniels and Assistant Minority
Leader Ted Schwinden charged Sat-
urday.
equality education is an invest
ment that our state and nation re-
quire for bare survival in this mod
ern world" their joint statement
continued. However this group is
rapidly dragging our state down to
the level of some of our more back
ward states which refuse to educate
some children because of the color
of their skin.
"The present attitude of the
Republican House is the very rea-
son that federal aid to education
has been an issue. We must pro-
vide our children with quality edu-
cation and the refusal of this group
to permit consideration of this bill
is only providing the climate for
federal aid and for 'bail-out' de-
mands similar to the Governors
recent request for federal help for
school, hospital and santitarium
construction.
''This move by the Republican
House climaxes 55 days of obfusca-
ion which in the name of retrench-
nent and fat cutting has only added
20 the harrassment of the property
axpayer by resulting in higher
chool, county and local property
axes"

Proposed Rail Merger
Protested By Senate

| the case of the MP there is an added
responsibility to the general public.
The Northern Pacific, SIR 13 points
out ''has benefited from grants of
vast acreages of public domain land
as an inducement to construct its
railway and to provide service for
the people of the west, which lands
(43.5 million acres) have and are
producing oil, gas, timber in very
profitable quantities :"
Jobwise, the resolution contends
that the merger 'Swould result in the
loss of employment by hundreds of
Montana people -
Taxwise, the proposed merger
would inevitably result in greatly
decreased tax revenue and would
jeopardize the continued operation
of the counties, cities, towns and
school districts -
Copies of the resolution have been
ordered sent to all four members
of the Montana Congressional dele
cation, along with the u. S. Senate
and House Interstate Commerce COM
mittees and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
SIR Is is very similar to Hum A
and Hum 7, both of which were voted
down by the Republican majority in
the lower chamber.
Sponsors of the Senate resolution
were: Democrats: Durkee, Reardon,
Newman, McKeon, Hafferman, Dus-
sault, Carney, LaCombe, Stein, Beley,
Cotton and Rice; Republicans: Ros-
tad.

Alleged Luxity
Behind Resolution
On Liquor Permits

The state liquor stores must not
sell liquor to people who do not have
permit and the state liquor board
is told to take disciplinary action
against vendors not bothering to sell
the licenses, under House Resolution
No. 5, introduced Tuesday.
This problem was called to the at
tention of the House by Rep. Spahr
(D-Cascade) earlier in the session
during debate on HB 228 which would
have appropriated $4,000 for edu-
cation on alcoholism and treatment
of alcoholics. At that time the Cas-
cade legislator had charged that the
head of the Liquor Control Board
was not in favor of having the per-
NIT system, and as result laxity had
developed in state stores in request
ing customer permits as a prerequi-
site to making sales. Spahr's bill,
HB 229. that would have provided
an increase in licenses to pay for this
was defeated by the Senate so the
House majority then defeated HB
228.
Spahr had pointed out that if ven
doris sold permits to everyone that
would help pay the cost of the costs
of HB 228.
Rep. Haines (R-Missoula) speak
ing on House Resolution 5 said not
requiring permits to purchase liquor
was depriving the state of revenue.
Another instance of cost to the
state was mentioned by Rep. Cerovski
when he said some of the state stores
were being located on sites that cost
the state much more money than is
necessary. He did not feel it was in
the best financial interests of the
state for stores to move from side
streets to main streets where the
rent is much higher, thus taking
from the general fund.

House Passes Buck On
Closing vMC Offices

In 454 the biggest complaint by
House Democrats was the cut of
$4,000 from the veterans welfare
commission which Adams, chairman
of the subcommittee admitted will
mean the closing of at least three
the VWC offices in the state. Asked
where the cut offices would be,
Adams said the Appropriations Com
mittee did not decide this, it is left
to the commission itself-thus elimi-
mating the responsibility of the ma
jority for the closing of the specific

CONTENDS HUTTERITES
NOT "CITIZENS"

Senator Durkee (D-Hill) who was
responsible for bringing HB 4O6 back
to the Senate floor after it had been
killed on an adverse committee re-
port, spoke in favor of the bill Mon
day. He noted the comparison be-
tween HB 102 and HB 4O6. The diff
ference as Durkee saw it was that
in HB 102 we would be coming "citi-
zens of the u. 81, but ''when we
propose to zone people who are not
citizens of the U. S. people scream
persecution. The Hill county Sena-
tor saw butterflies as religious. eco
nomic and social problems.
McKenna, who said he had lived
as friends and neighbors of the Hut
terites for over so years, told the
Senate, in his county they were citi-
zens of the United States and voted.
Senator Rostad (R-Meagher) pre-
dicted civil war if the Senate did not
face "this thing" now.
Break 'em up'', said George Will
son (D-Toole). He said this could
be accomplished in one day if the
coming commission proposed in HB
400 put their minds to it, and it would
cost the state very little. He deplored
Hutterite indifference to the "mate-
rial things of life that other people
enjoy" and said ''they are only para
sites"

Mansfield Says
Railroad Merger
Blow To West

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Sen. Mix,
Mansfield (D-Mont.) said Friday
proposed railroad mergers would hurt
the West.
The Senate Democratic leader sale
it would be against the public inter.
est to permit the Milwaukee Railroad
to stop passenger train service be-
tween Minneapolis and Seattle and
to allow four other railroads to merge
in the. West.
The Milwaukee proposal was con-
sidered at an Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing in Miles City,
Friday The ICC has received a
merger application for the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific, Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, and Spokane,
Portland and Seattle companies.
The proposals would ''mean I'M
employment in a state (Montana)
already confronted with serious de-
pressed economic conditions and take
away service in an area which is
still fighting to get an orderly public
transportation pattern to serve it's
public" Mansfield said in Senate
speech.
eff these trains, are taken off it
will mean unemployment, disrup-
ton of service and economic dis
tress," he said.
Because of their growth, Montana
and the Northwest need the services
of competitive transcontinental rail-
roads," Mansfield said, adding that
he was speaking also for Sen. Lee
Metcalf (D-Mont.).
eve suggest Mansfield said. "that
the railroads fight to maintain
their competitive position in the
transportation field with new imagi-
native policies instead of withdraw
ing to an easier road to financial
prosperity"
Mansfield said the railroads might |
get more business by cutting passen-
ger fares.
''The Interstate Commerce Com
is the authority in these mat
ters and / do not intend to exercise
any undue influence in these mat
ters," he added.
"But do suggest that the exam
liners and the commissioners of the
ice not only listen to the hard,
cold facts of financier's reports
and the smooth arguments of legal
counseIs but that they also give
serious consideration to the man
on the street, the inarticulate small
businessman, or the small chamber :
of commerce who can't afford le-
gal representation, the people who
will be hurt by curtailment, ADAM
donment and consolidation of rail- v
road service."-G. F. TRIBUNE.

"ENTIRELY WRONG"
LEGISLATION

Senator Mcdonnell (R-Sweetgrass)
joined Senator McKenna in his plea
to kill the bill. Mcdonnell said 4O6
was "class legislation aimed at one
group and it is entirely wrong for
the legislature to enact legislation
aimed to hurt group.
Perhaps in a half-dozen words
Senator Hafferman Cd Lincoln)
summed up the root of the antagon-
ism toward these people when he
said, Gail we are trying to do is get
the butterflies to watch TV''
There was criticism of the Hut
terite attitude of non-violence, and
claims that in HB 406 the State of
Montana would be Saving" these
people from themselves.
The bill passed general orders in
a standing vote with % Senators
against 406 and "a in favor. On a
roll call on a motion of Senator Nc
Kenna to lay 406 on the table the
bill was killed 1927.
"Aye" votes were for laying HB
406 on the table, thereby killing this
vicious bill. "Nay'' votes were for
keeping the measure alive.

ion in the country; and the Mormons
who were prosecuted and chased
around the country for so many
years.
Commenting on the reference to
the Hutterite type of clothing and
the statement of the proponents of
"zoning", that they "made their own
clothes" McKenna said, "This is the
first time | have ever heard it was
a crime to make your own clothes or
wear whiskers". "Christ wore whisk-
ers and sack CLOTH, he reminded the
Senate.

CLUES.
HB 406 would have created a zon-
ing and land limitation for Hutter-
ties.
HB 102 was on the board first. and
the Senate rejected it by a good
margin because it would "discrimi-
nate'' against the country people. 1t
alarmed" them.
But HB 4O6 to zone butterflies
was defeated by only one vote in a
debate that lasted an hour and a
half and found generally rational
senators babbling with fear over a
peaceful group of people, making
fun of and condemning butterflies
for all the virtues senators think the
people of Montana should have when
they come to the legislature for help.
BASE HUMAN REACTIONS
AROUSED
The emotions arising out of
fight such as was carried on against
the butterflies Monday are disturb
ing to witness at best because of the
base human reactions that are
aroused and in many instances ig-
norance is only exceeded by bigotry.
On the brighter side of this issue
was the fact it was not partisan and
came as near a fight on pure prin-
ciple as the legislature has seen this
session.
Senator James McKenna OFFER
gus) carried the battle on behalf of
the butterflies, a powerful plea
against putting this black mark on
the State of Montana and "going
back to the colonial days of witch
craft, stocks and persecution which
is beginning here in this Senate to-
day."

CUBA IN TROUBLE

@#.##s@
CUBA, AFTER ALL it's clustering boastfulness and in.
cessant attacks upon the United States, its Presidents, every,
body in il, and everything about it, is beginning to feel The
pinch. The situation is becoming bleak, and before it IS a
over, there will be some agonizing r~eappraisal, indeed, FROM
top to bottom.
IN THE EXCITEMENT about CubaSs change Of posi-
ton, it had been forgotten that that island was practically
part and parcel Of the United States. Just 90 miles from the
coast Of Florida, thousands of American worked in Cuba, bill
lions of dollars had been invested in hotels, resorts, banks.
businesses, and industrial development. The great bulk Of the
machinery and equipment used were, naturally, American,
and it was Just a matter Of a day or two, or even a few hours,
and replacements could have been had for all equipment.
U CUBA WENT on a rampage. With an abundance
of sugar, Castro had something to SELL and promptly turned
to Russia. Well, Russia bought the sugar, but at less than the
price paid By the United States. And, to make matters more
interesting, Russia is using the sugar it gets from Cuba tor
cash sales to other areas. More than that, Russia is not paying
for this sugar in cash, but in machinery and equipment, some
Of ii military. Any adult knows that under the Communist
scheme Of things, the furnishing Of any equipment to another
nation must fit into that scheme Of things. Cuba must there
fore wait until the proper tme comes in order to get what she
needs. In the meantime conditions are getting worse.
FOOD, MACHINERY, replacement parts, and the like
are becoming scarce. After a while the rulers Of that island
will come face to face With the reanIeS q IL ~ 9 lOiS0u
to put away their dreams Of conquest and socialism which
carries with it such grand and glorious accomplishments.
H NFALLIBLE WEAKNESS Of resting everything
on imports IS beginning to show itself clearly. From that par
ticuIar aspect - and that alone = we might learn a lesson. We
should seek to produce more Of the foodwe consume here at
home. Ii s a lesson well worth learning.
AS TO CUBA, it is pity that the people Of Cuba must
suffer while its rulers learn LIES lessons the hardest possible
way

copy oft to me. AS have not yet received a copy, I am
somewhat concerned that Clark Bros. may feel there is
a question as to whether or not they will be able to pro
coed rapidly enough with their project. i am a~nticipat-
ing an inquiry on this matter very soon from Mr.. Mac
kendrlck and would appreciate anything that you or the
other members OF the Legislature could do to expedite
The matter SO that negotiations can begin.
Sincerely yours,
