same time the nation is going to have
to be safeguarded so there will be
an adequate supply of high quality
food and fiber for all consumers and
an adequate standard of living for
the producer.
"The program of the SOS is not
good enough for the '60's", he said.
LABOR IN CHANGING
SOCIAL CONDITION
Charles v. Huppe, Helena attorney,
speaking on Democracy and Organ
lied Labor, said with our modern
type of industrial development a
working man has quite different
social condition through which he
treats with his employer than when
he, could marry the boss's daughter
and the employer-employee relation
ship was a family or potential family
decision that was being made.
With the advent of the corporate
structure the human element was re-
moved, he said, adding, ga corpora
ton has no soul, no threat of heaven
or hell, they are not human, nor are
they expected to be, they are con-
cerned with balance sheet and the
human element is missing.
Huppe "defied" anyone to show
him a union constitution that did
not provide for democratic proce-
dures. IF they have not been sue
cessful in reflecting majority opin-
ion, he said, it is because members
have not taken advantage of the
process provided for them.
Speaking of the attitude of the
working man toward political action,
the Helena attorney said, unless trade
unions participate in elections, what
is done through legislative action will
effect them without their influence
having been felt.
He called talk about a free econ
omy "hog wash, and said, "you live
IN a legislated economy and you are
going to continue to live in legis- |
ated economy and what happens in
and Helena fixes the
upon your.
ga legislated economy depends |
Upon the processes of this system, and |
people have organized themselves,
to do particular things;
low labor finds they must operate in
! broader area and they don't really
NOW how to do it,, he said.
COMMON MARKET
The u. S. and the European Com
nan Market was discussed by Pro-
lessor William Ewasiuk, Montana
state College, Bozeman. He said
lothing can be taken as certain, as
ure, as fixed, relative to proposed
lans for the United States to COM
ete with the European trade pro-
ram, and while we are in for some
otis and there will be descriptions
yithin our own industrial complex,
re better get in on the ground floor
nd see that the rules are made for |
II who play the game so we will not
e hurt as badly as if we stay out
together. !
He said the European Common
[arket brings $50 million people into
ne market, from an area about one +
lird as large as the United States.
EBATE TAXATION v
F CO-OPERATIVES t
The taxation of co-operatives was
ebated by Yellowstone county legis-
tors, Senator Rex Hibbs and Repr.
,rome Anderson, defending the prin-
pies of HB 131 of the last session, .
i'd the opposition taken by Farmers l,
MON Central Exchange public rela- u
ons man, Elmore Ladwig, and Mon .
ma Farmers Union president, Leon .
d Kenfield. Il Il
Senator Hibbs took the stand that =
-op reserves allows them to COM II
tie with corporation that sells the II
me products sold by cooperative. 9 g
, stated he thought co-operatives .
d a place in this country, but the
inciple and purpose for which they
re founded no longer holds. II do
t believe you should confuse the
