High Agricultural Leases Talked
AT State Land Board Meeting

Warren Hastings, Sun River, was
allowed to meet sharecrop bid OF
As per cent ON 400 acres of state
land adjoining his 1,5OO-acre opera
ton for one year at the Land Board
meeting Wednesday.
Land Commissioner Mons Tiegen
has been accepting bids up to 55 per
cent, but the Land Board is cognizant
that the bidder in his zeal to acquire
land may either break himself or
fudge on the state.
Hastings was given the one-year
lease to see if he can make go of
it this season. At the end of the sea-
son it will be determined whether
he wants to have 10-year lease at
as per cent or whether an adjust
ment should be made to assure a
continuing agricultural unit.
All the sales in Judith Basin county
were turned down and the money to
cover the cost of the sale will be re-
turned to Sam Bradley. Bradley's
bid was met by Alice Wildschutz
matching preference but since she
had already bought the limit of $40
acres she no longer had such a pref
erence. Tiegen was instructed to chal-
lenge all matching preferences at
future sales, as to the 640-acre limi-
tation. There must be more than one
bidder in order to have the sale valid.
Darrell Black and John Marshall of
Shell Oil urged the Land Board to
join the federal conservation unit in
the development of Cedar Creek Unit
ga. This expansion of the famed
Cedar Creek anticline extending
southerly from Glendive must have
the approval of the Oil and Gas Con-
Commission before the state
will join in the utilization. Still pend
ing before the Oil and Gas is the
state land in the Coral Creek Deep
unit.
Shell was told to take it easy by
Oil and Gas on the Pine unit. 1t may
not be necessary to jeopardize the
water wells in the surrounding areas
to stimulate production of oil since
there have been almost no dry holes.

ment gives blank check to the states
under matching program. The bene-
fits of this program are set-up by
the individual states.
The Billings doctor said there is
a need for some medical aid, and
this could be met through the
welfare type program supported
from general taxation, rather than
social security through which, he
said, we would all be paying for
the health costs of old people who
did not need it.
Speaking in favor of health insur-
ance through the social security sys-
tenn, Gretchen Billings, Helena, of
the PEOPLES VOICE staff, said the
need is too great to be met ade-
quately with general taxation.
She pointed out that this country
has always taken care of the very
poor through welfare programs and
the very rich through tax deductions.
AS an example she used the follow
ing case:
If you are IS or older and disabled,
you can deduct up to $4,000 in medi-
cal and dental expenses. If both hus-
band and wife are 65 and disabled,
and file joint return, they can de-
duct $4,000 providing no more than
$4,000 of each is taken into ac-
count.
A single, disabled 65-year-old with
taxable income of 100000, would
ordinarily pay a tax of $58,62O. If
he had $4,000 medical deduction,
he would pay $50,22O on $4,000
taxable income. He would thus get
$4,000 worth of treatment for
81, 900.
On the other hand, a single, dis
abled 65-year-old with taxable in
come of $4,000 would ordinarily pay
$500 in tax. If he had $4,000 hos
pital bill, his treatment would cost
$500, or six times as much as the
rich mans.

ance premium" Mrs. Billings said,
There is every reason to hope

health, fire or accident insurance.

question PERIODS at the end OF each
presentation indicated not only great
interest in the issues of our time, but
no little bit of knowledge on the part
of those attending.
Perhaps the issue creating the most
controversy was the medical care
panel, the discussion on which car
ried over into the coffee break, MAX
ing it difficult for the chairman to
reconvene the session. The experience
following this panel probably resulted
in the longer question and answer
period following the panel on coop
taxation.
DIR. Alfred M. Fulton, MD, Billings,
said medical costs of people over So
are being met in Montana. Using fig
ures taken from a survey at Deacon
ess Hospital in Billings he showed
major percentage of the bills of the
patient over 65 are being paid.
He related the philosophy of health
insurance through social security with
that of socialism and communism.
DIR. Fulton advocated the Kerr-Mills
method in which the federal govern

Don Douglas, assistant Attorney
General, advised the Land Board to
give the money back to a purchaser
who bought land the state had al
ready sold at the State Prisons Vail
ton Ranch near Deer Lodge. Other
scattered tracts near the town will
be put up for sale.
Before the sale, however, Douglas
advised Superintendent of Public In
struction Harriet Miller, Secretary
of State Frank Murray, Attorney
Forrest Anderson and Governor Tim
Babcock to provide an easement ar
rangement for another purchaser
who is landlocked from the county
road.

er co-operatives for upwards of a
half century, and for over 26 years
president of the regional wholesale
Farmers Union Central Exchange,
passed away at Great Falls hos
pital last Friday morning. Mr.. Do
heny had been i'll since last June.
A native of Fairfax, Mimi, Mr..
Doheny and a brother, Frank, came
to Great Falls in 1910 and spent a
year as building contractors before
he homesteaded northwest of Great

Der 1911. He and Ruby Walgamott
were married in Portland, Oregon in
1917. Survivors, in addition to Mrs.
Doheny, include sons Charles of Dut-
ton and Robert of Laurel, six grand
children, and his brother, Frank, 85.
In addition and prior to his long
service at the helm of the Central
Exchange, Mr.. Doheny had helped
organize farmer co-operatives in var
ious parts of Montana, served several
years on the state board of Montana
Farmers Union, and was also on the
Northwest legislative committee of
National Farmers Union.
Funeral and burial services were
held Tuesday morning at ST. AIMS
Cathedral and interment in Mount
Olivet Cemetery.
Pallbearers were six men who had
long been associated with Mr. Doheny
in the operation of Central Exchange.
They were: Gen. Manager Tom H.
Steichen, St. Paul; Board Member
Glenn K. Coutts, Richey; Hugo
Christensen and Elmore F. Ladwig,
Billings; Robert Wanke and Kyle
Babcock, Great Falls.

about 100 students more than was
anticipated by the lawmakers at the
time of the budget cut.
''Since adjournment of the 1861
legislative session, stories have widely
spread over Montana that both Pres
ident Renne of Montana State Col
lege, Bozeman, and President Brock
mann, NMC, Havre, gained the dis
favor of the late Governor Donald
E. Nutter and were slated for re-
moval from office because of their
firm stand against budget cuts at
their units of the university system.
CDR. Brockmann has personally
told me on several occasions that he
would gladly sacrifice his position as
college president in order to build
and improve Northern Montana Col
lege. His unselfish words seem to oe
bearing fruit.
"No doubt that this attack made
by the college executive board is ex-
pected to accomplish two-fold pur-
pose:
81. Remove DR.. Brockmann from
the college presidency.
"2. Gradual elimination voca-
courses under the
auterity program which will be ex-
erted to eliminate Havre as part
of the State University SYSTEM"

PACKED WITH VITAL ISSUES

Vital issues that were packed into
the one-day session besides the two
above included financing education,
democracy and organized labor, the
developing farm program and the
European Common Market.

of Public instruction, used her color
full and basic presentation in the
form of a do-it-yourself routine. to
explain and dramatic the school
foundation program. She pointed out
that Montana's climate, geography
and sparse population, coupled with
many small, relatively costly schools
can not be ignored in the search for
solutions to school financing prob
lens.
Asked how she felt about
consolidation. of schools she said
the people who pay for the schools
determine this question and it was
obvious by the reaction to CONSOLE
dation legislation presented at the
last session that rural people are
not ready to give up their isolated
schools.
