WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

You may figure you are fighting
for the survival of the main street
business by keeping many families
from having any money to spend
When the people on my main street
don't have money to spend, at that
point my survival becomes precar-
ious. When winter comes and 1870

eligible for Unemployment Compen-
sation are cut off or cut down many
main streets are going TO be in
trouble.
The comments you made about
the curtailment of unemployment
compensation and the coop tax bill
being your main detectives in the
last session look to me like you don't
have much compassion for the COM
mon guy and what he means to small
business in Montana. These co-ops
bring a good bit of money back to
main street (even your main street,
Mr.. M. that is spent over the count
er, and even the proponents of this
bill in the Legislature couldn't guess
how much tax money it would bring
in, so whatcha trying to get at? Do
you have secret mission from on
high that gives you the right to de-
termine what is a s'free enterprise"
business? Is it that you believe the
more people who own a business the
less free enterprise there is?
I don't think your lousy aims and
successes in the last Legislature
helped small business one bit.

Dear Mr.. Markle:
| understand you are state presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce.
| have just read press release on
a speech you gave in Bozeman. am
not a member of the Chamber of
Commerce, because l could never
afford the kind of ''help" you are
giving to small business in Montana
You said in Bozeman you gave
your stamp of approval for what the
Legislature did for business and in
dustry in this state by holding the
line on taxes.
Your organization did a fine job
of pulling the wool over the eyes of
small business during the last cam
paign with your better business eli
mate jazz, but can't for the life
of me see where small business
gained a blessed thing, after voting
for all your candidates.
If it weren't for the Kennedy Adj
extension of unemploy-
ment compensation small town main
street in Montana would be as we'll
off to close it's doors in the coming
winter because there would be so
few people receiving compensation
under the amendments passed by the
last Legislature.

I'll have to pay higher overhead for
heating if that increase goes through.
That's going to cost me more in
taxes, too, in my town, my school
district, my county and my state.
Why don't you go after the Mon
tana Power Company and their goug-
ing of small business?
You concentrate SO hard on the
co-ops, yet they bring money back
into the community, while the utilities
will take out of the state over 500
of what we will pay them, on this
rate increase.
You know, | don't think you really
care about small business which is
the heart and lifeline of this state.

Kennedy. w. A. Caruthers, and
John E. Cooke. This is a short
roll call, declared DR.. Thorp.
Why So Little?
The question is not excellence
but why did the South produce
so few writer's in comparison
with the North said Dr.. Thorp.
His answer "A ready an
sWer lies in the fact that apart
from the writer's themselves
there was little interest in the
South or the ned for creating a
truly n a ional literature for
America" There was consider
able hostility to the Yankee ma
ton.
Another reason for the short
list was that certain features of
the Southern agrarian society
crowded out the artist and the
roet The plantation owner need
ed the doctor. the lawyer. and
once in a lifetime an artist for
the family portrait, but he didn't
need the poet or novelist. The
crux Of the matter was that he
preferred to import the books
he wanted to read, stated the
visiting lecturer.
Not one author in the Old
South made his living entirely
from writing during the period
before the Civil War. They de-
pended on the practice of law.
medicine. etc. for a living.
Detailed counts of how
Southern writer's reacted to the
situation they found themselves
in were cited. An example is
William Caruthers, who found
time to come up with three
novels. He once said, mo man
in his country can afford to
write unless he pursues some
lucrative employment at the
same time
Sudden Shift In Opinion
DR.. Thorp noted that in the
1865 there was sudden shift
OF opinion in the South as re-
CARDS the question of a need for
a literature which would present
the region fairly AS the strug-
gle between the North and the
South became more imminent.
the South found itself in need of
apologists to depict fully and to
praise the distinctive Southern
way Of life DR.. Thorpe said.
He said that one event in par
ticular was responsible for the
Shift in attitude, that being the
enormous success of Mrs.
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin.
A word Of praise for the
writer's of the South who per-
sisted in spite of the general be-
lief that they could be better en-
ployed than in scribbling verses
or writing novels was sounded.
