Kennedy will Ask Congress
To Tax All Income Alike

DALLAS, Texas-(CNS) -Presi-
dent Kennedy will ask Congress early
next year to treat all income alike, "
Internal Revenue Commissioner Nor
timer Caplin said recently. Under
the new plan mineral royalties and
capital gains would be treated as
straight income, he said.
''By broadening the tax base we
would eliminate preferences" Capiin
explained. "Tax rates would be lower
and we could still raise the same
amount of tax revenue because the
tax base would be larger"
Caplin chose to reveal the admin
istration's plans here where more oil
is produced than in any other state
and where depletion allowances leave
hundreds of millions of dollars in
petroleum profits untaxed. He also
said he hoped the income tax form
could be simplified..

On February Is of this year. L. p
/ (Cy) Tonner died at the WhitefisI
Memorial Hospital. Although he had
been in poor health for some time
his fighting spirit and active par
ticipation in politics and community
activities had somehow persuaded
most of us that he would recover.
When he died, the Democratic Party
in Flathead county lost something
rare in political idealism. We shall
not be the same without him.
That Cy Tonner was a controver-
sial politician cannot be denied. Like
all others who opposed the power
interests in this state he found him
self reviled, his patriotism impugned.
The HUNGRY HORSE NEWS
commented:
"Tonner was perhaps the best
known Democratic politician in the
Flathead. He also received the great
est amount of character assassination
attacks from the Republicans in the
1860 election. Much money was spent
to defeat him for reelection as a
representative in the legislature :.
"At the 1868 session, he was chair
man of the Public Utilities and State
Commissions Committee which held
hearings on proposed Montana Pub
lie Utility Districts law similar to
that in the State of Washington.
''In Washington there are Repub-
licans who support that states PUD
law.
"In Montana, the Montana Power
Company and other private utilities
bitterly opposed the proposed PUD
law. The bill, however, was approved
in committee but defeated by a 1910
vote in the House.
"Tonner was an outspoken sup-
porter of public power. He said: IF
Montana had power legislation like
that of Washington, this state might
be something like Washington in pro-
viding more industrial jobs
"Tonner favored public dams. He
resolutions at the 1859
to build Glacier View,
Yellowtail, Libby, Paradise, Spruce
Park dams. The Yellowtail, Libby
and Glacier View resolutions were
passed by the House and Senate and
signed by Governor Aronson.

LeWisfown Job

Who's dragging their feet in Lewis.
town on the Main Street improvement
project?
The people of the United States
want to see that all the main streets
in the nation are wide enough to
carry traffic safely. The people of
Montana's cities and countryside want
to see that the Lewistown thorough
fare is properly drained and graded
and have furnished the plans and
specifications for the work.
The federal government wants to
furnish 81 per cent of the cost of
the retread on the main drag. The
state wants to furnish Is per cent
of the cost but minority on Main
Street doesn't want to enter into an
Improvement district so that the city
could furnish remaining 20 per cent.
This small group would rather see a
$268,000 improvement to the value of
the town and their particular proper
ties go down the drain for the love
of some scroungy trees on the park
ing.
A storm sewer would be placed
under the project to take care of the
presently undesirable conditions.
Last week Mayor Bill Wicks said
he was surprised" that the Highway
Department had scheduled the prof.
ect for letting March %. The LEWIS
TOWN DAILY NEWS headlined the
mayors contention Highway had
jumped the gun over due process.
The facts of the matter are that the
project was ready for letting last
November and was withdrawn con-
tinually through the winter to allow
Wicks and his townsmen to work out
the details of their share of money
for the work to be done this summer
and give the towns cash registers a
little shot in the arm.
The November scheduling. was
based on the hearing held June E,
1861 at which time the overwhelming |
majority of the responsible elements
of the community urged the Highway
Department to proceed as quickly as
possible with the project. All, that 's,
except the tree lovers and the federal
spending haters. 1t is not morally
wrong for the federal government
to spend money on its own people and
although only Geed can make a tree, a I
town can only be made
of good streets.-FS

"He was a hard worker, and likely
no legislator from the Flathead has
stirred up more controversy.
"What defeated him for reelection
in 1860 was his PUD bill. 1t was a
threat to private utilities, and they
viewed Tonner's defeat in terms of
their own self preservation.
Lesser known to the Flathead Val
ley as whole was Cy's kindness and
charity. Cy believed in being his
brothers keeper and practiced this
precept not only in his political ac-
tivities but in his community. He
was active in the group that helped
bring Hungry Horse Dam to the Flat
head; served as president of the Mar
tin City Lions Club, was on the exec
utive board for Boy Scouts and on
the juvenile court board.
The Martin City correspondents,
writing of his death, said:
"This is an item your reporter
would much rather not write. The
passing of Cy Tonner, who was we'll
known and loved. The first family
to move to Martin City in May, 1915,
coming here from Philipsburg. They
built the first mill and were in bust
ness here ever since. Cy had been
seriously i'll before and returned to
good health, so the feeling was this
time that he would come out of this
illness also, but it seemed he was
too weak to survive two operations
in about a month.
''He was always the first one to
lend a helping hand to anyone in
trouble, and his kindnesses will be
long remembered. All of our SYM
pathy is extended to the family. He
will live on in the hearts of his friends
and neighbors.
We remember when Cy began his
PUD fight. He was told: "Cy, this
will kill you politically"
81 don't care" he replied. "Let
the people learn about it."
That was very like Cy. Political
expediency didn't count much with
him.. He stood on his beliefs. We've
been proud to know Cy Tonner as a
Democrat and as man.

The Roman trick-the creation of
Capitols- one of the cruelest de-
ceptions ever devised. This is the
place where you can observe the men
who would govern other men. Watch
their vain antics as they attempt to
Influence the lives of others. 1t may
be interesting and educational. even
fascinating, but while you watch them
blending all the words into a new
Babel tower and fill in all the spaces
in their forms you must pay the ever
present price and die little yourself.
1t is almost heartbreaking to see
new face showing up at the Capitol
and you want to cry out to them,
Look, if you must, but flee and
forget what you have seem"
These last two meetings have seen
the executive board of Havre's North
ern Montana College pressing their
power neurosis to the grind of the
Regents rule of the University Sys-
tenn. They are familiar with the game
of faking-out of agreements and the
art of getting their lines memorized
before they present their sham to
further wrecking ambitions of the
jealous innerguard of the retrench-
ment policy initiated by the late Gov.
Don Nutter. The destruction of public
endeavors to engrandize the corpora
ton mastery of the state stems di-
rectly from the huge dole given to
the Republican party's marionette
officials continuance in office.
The executive board marion Will
son, Guy Mayberry, both from Havre;
and Mrs. William G. Cowan, Box
Elder) had met with DR.. L. o. Brock
mann, NMC prexy, and reached an
agreement over the difficulties caused
by the retrenchment budget, budget
which prompted them to ask that

WE CAN'T AFFORD
"SUCH DISTORTIONS"

The menace of Communism is
much too real and much too world
wide for the American people to toll
crate and support distortions such
as those outlined above. Simple hon
eSty and respect for truth should be
adequate reasons for avoiding these
efforts.
But they are more than dishonest,
they are also divisive.
They sow distrust in our Nation
at a time when national unity is inn
perative. They weaken our democ-
racy by spreading suspicious of
treason in government and asking
Americans TO use Communist tao
tics against fellow Americans.
If carried far enough, these move
ments would paralyze American di-
plomacy. When every discussion with
the Communist powers is considered
a sign of weakness or even treason,
then we are left with only two stark
alternatives: surrender or war. Com
mon sense should tell us we should
seek ~ some middle course between
these extremes.-THE REV. JOHN
F. CRONIN.

the Regents.
Agreements go by the wayside
when the signals are called by DR..
Gordon behring's politically contanli-
mated fingers. The executive board
came to join Gov. Tim Babcock's rule
or ruin policy of state government.
They gave substance for Tins pro-
posal to have an investigating COM
mittee paralyze the Havre institu-
ton even though they could not for
mulate written charges against Brock
mann.
The investigation was blocked by
George Lund, Reserve, who gave a
counter proposal that BrocBmann be
given six months to follow the pro-
posals that had been outlined in the
agreement, which included better
standards and salaries for the facul-
ty, better facilities and financing for
the departments.
After four substitute motions,
Doering came up with motion that
makes Roberts Rules of Order blush.
The investigating committee would
be considered the next time all the
Regents were present. Attorney Gen
eral Forrest Anderson, Gordon Null
endore and Boynton Paige were alb
sent. This motion was recorded in
the minutes.
1t is a very interesting motion be-
cause it would appear that the alb
sence of one Regent would prevent
the discussion of the topic however
it only serves to bring the executive
board back to the next meeting with
their unfounded charges.
Motions of one meeting are not
respected in another as Doering
demonstrated at HAS am. Tues
day. The discussion of the Legisla-
tive Councils proposal for build
ing commission to further hamper
the development of the University
System originally proposed by Nut
ter was too high brow for my low-fi
ears so l was elected from the
committee in spite of a resolution
of last meeting prohibiting secrecy.
Doering's fiesty disposition brought
him into an open clash with DR.. r. r.
Renne. prexy of Montana State Col
lege in Bozeman, when he charged |
that Renne was holding up the con-
struction of dormitory.
Renne asked where Doering got
his baseless information and Doering
aid it came from an architect.
Renne thought perhaps the archi-
ect was scrounging around for work
no, he was an old-time friend of
behring's.
Renne simplified things for Doer-
ng. Doering had to take his friends
word or Renne's about it. Renne was
lot holding back on any plans neces-
airy in Bozeman.
Renne brought another problem
acing education in America clearly ;
0 a head. The conflict of talent ver- :
us the authoritarians of educational
echniques. From mathematics to art
his is a basic flaw which cuts into
he equality of education in this +,
ountry with those having nothing :
D impart to their students winning
ut over those with obvious skill in
heir specially.
The Regents were willing to take
n nationally organized accrediting
ssociation but were advised against
by the system presidents because
could only harm teachers who came I I
'om Montana.

FRUsTRATIoN. BASIC PROBLEM

Their basic problem is Illustration
and even fear. They have seen the
Soviet Union apparently gaining in
its struggle to communize the world.
Those who would have Americans
concentrate on a minor threat of
domestic subversion and ignore sub
version and Communist pressures in
Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin Amer
lea are misleading the American peo-
pie. Whatever their motives, they are
effectively aiding the Communist
cause.
They are most effective when they
can quote experts" to bolster their
cause.

Compared with their activities and
influence 20 years ago, Communists
today lin the U.s. are weak and
impotent Yet, in the 1905, strong
reaction against domestic Commr-
nism is sweeping the land. Well-fi-
nanced and attended crusades, which
would have been mamma from heaven
in 1916, are increasingly evident.
Speakers and writers for such groups
are vigorously fighting problems that
were mostly solved by 1850.
In many parts of the country, hys-
terra and suspicion are becoming in
creasingly evident. A virulent form
of disunity is weakening us in the
world struggle against Communism,
and performing this disservice in the
name of militant anti-Communism.
Many Americans are confused and
bewildered by the whole trend.
1t is easy to dismiss such events
by name-calling. But such an APP
proach is unfair to millions of Ameri-
cans who desperately want to do
about Communism. They
have been mislead by false prophets,
but these ordinary Americans are not
extremists or crackpots.

bad LOGIC AND WORSE
HISTORY"
Actually this statement is bad logic
and worse history. AS logic, it would
make the encyclical of Pope John
XIII, Mater eft Magistra christian
ity and Social Progress), a defense
of Communism. The encyclical advo-
Gates or does not reprove many speci-
fic items rejected by extremist groups
(the use of the income tax to equal
ize burdens, aid to undeveloped ma
tions, government action to smooth
out economic change, social insur-
ance, aid to agriculture, housing sub
sides, etc..
The violent and bitter struggle for
racial equality in the United States
has often prompted charges that Com
munists were behind these activities.
Actually, it is an amazing fact that
the Communists have had such little
success among the Negroes.
In fact, Negro leaders and the
overwhelming majority of Negro peo-
pie have rejected Communism influ-
ence and have insisted that they are
true Americans. Whenever Commu-
mist influence is detected by the
NAACP National Association for
CORE, it is promptly removed
Protestant churches, especially
the National Council of Churches,
have also been target for attack.
Behind these attacks one usually finds
opposition to the social Gospel or
to alleged modernist trends in organ
lied Professionalism. Communist in
fluence among the Protestant clergy
today is virtually nonexistent.
Groups opposed to the United
Nations often use alleged Com
munist infiltration or even control
as a weapon in attacking this or
ganization. Some Of these oppo-
nents are basically isolationist and
using the Communist charge as a
handy weapon.
Catholics who deny our interna-
,ional responsibilities do so in the
ACE of repeated papal assertions of
,ur moral obligations to seek world
,rder, world prosperity and world
,aaca
Offenses charged to Communist
also include fluoridation
# water, promoting mental health
nd organized peddling of smut. Yet

'orts fluoridation of water. The med
cal profession endorses sound mental
ealth programs. And organized por-
