The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-08-31
Preamble

We, the Montana Democratic Party, re-
dedicate ourselves to the cause of developing
the resources of our great state for the use
of all our people. In adopting the following
platform, we hereby record that the Demo
cratic Party supports the interest of all the
people, and welcome to our ranks all ele
ments of our economy whose cause is shower
ing the blessings of liberty all people,
regardless of race, religion or economic con-
dition
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-08-31
Transportation & Utilities

We endorse President Kennedys message
on the transportation system of our nation as
forward step in maintaining adequate serv.
ice for the public.
We commend the legislative efforts of
United States Senators Mansfield. Metcalf
and Kefauver, and United States Congress-
man Olsen, in their legislative efforts for a
moratorium on railroad consolidation for the
protection of competitive rail service and eco
nomic welfare of the State of Montana.
The Democratic Party of Montana opposes
the merger of the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Burlington railroads
Rail competition in Montana would be near
ly eliminated by this consolidation These are
highly profitable railroads and there is no
pressing economic necessity for their planned
merger. The merger would result in fewer
freight trains, drastically curtailed service in
many areas with slower schedules, causing an
undue hardship and inconvenience on the
People of Montana. Our problem is to retain
what has already been achieved for Montana
industry so we can develop a stronger econ
omy for our state
We view with pride, the accomplishments
resulting from the enactment of Federal Leg
islation creating Rural Electric Co-operatives
and Rural Telephone Associations.
We pledge support in obtaining adequate
loan funds for the rural electric and telephone
programs, for distribution, generation and
transmission We oppose any increase of in
terest rates on REA and RITA loans.
We recommend the re-enactment into law
of the State REA Statute. We urge enactment
of state law to protect the territorial integ-
rity of REA and other utilities
We declare, policy of the Democratic
Party, that it is the duty and obligation of the
Montana Public Service Commission to pro-
tect the users of electricity, gas, telephone,
and any other franchise utility service under
the jurisdiction of said Montana Public Serv-
ice Commission from unjust, unreasonable
and excessive rates of such Public Utility
Companies. We further declare as our Party
policy that facts, expert information, knowl-
edge, and legal protection from such excessive
profit rates should be provided and made of
record by the Montana Public Service Com
mission, who are elected to protect the public
welfare

River Development

Water is our greatest asset We therefore
recommend the complete development of the
Missouri and Columbia Rivers by 1880, the
goal set by the Kerr Committee, including
federal dam to be constructed on the Missouri
River north of Fergus County as soon as pos
sible. Failure to develop our water resources
promptly for beneficial use in Montana will
jeopardize our water rights. We are fast ap-
preaching the period when we must use them
lose them. For maximum use, we must have
maximum storage.
Sites suitable for multiple purpose projects
should be developed by the people. We will not
stand by and permit our resources to be taken
for partial development for the benefit of
special interests
We favor construction of single-purpose
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-08-31

The Democratic Party pledges to promote
in Montana an educational climate free from
radical reactionary group pressures that
we may maintain our Constitutional prin-
ciples. Realizing that freedom of speech and
thought can easily be destroyed, we strongly
urge the enforcement of laws which provide
penalties for the destruction of public prop
erty when self-appointed censors attempt to
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-08-31
Natural Resources

We support President Kennedy's splendid
Natural Resources program. We are firmly
convinced that Montana can grow only through
the full development of it's natural resources,
which are the birthright of all the people
Halfway measures which might have sufficed
in the past are utterly inadequate for tomor-
row.

Business & Industry

Recognizing the need for an expanded econ
omy and broadened tax base we hereby call
for vigorous efforts to attract new industries,
and small business, into Montana and to en-
courage expansion of existing industries in
such manner that the great natural re-

State Institutions and Mental Health

Whenever it is necessary we would favor
legislation to plan the placing of our aged
citizens and retarded children directly to
their proper institutions and provide adequate
buildings and proper facilities.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1962-08-31
Responsible Government

To protect the people from unwarranted
usurpation of power by State Commissions,
we recommend the passage of an Administra-
ton Procedure Act
Meetings of public bodies supported by pub
lie funds should be open to the public.

The Montana Democratic Party supports
the foundation program as means of equaliz-
ing educational opportunities and individual
tax responsibilities and would improve it by:
1. A more realistic foundation schedule.
2. That the Foundation Program provide
rs to 800 of the average general fund
budgets of the schools In 1949 it pro-
vided 300.
8. That budgeting procedures be changed
to allow those schools anticipating I'M
natural increases in enrolment to be
allowed to budget previous years
ANB with the additional provision for
an adjustment relation to this increase.
2. Raising the 500 limitation to more
realistic figure for state participation
in the foundation program.

: We deplore the substituting of minority
segment of our economy including absentee
lease7holders of school lands by Montana tax
payers. We further urge the Montana Legis-
lature to Immediately put into effect the
recommendations of the Montana 1959-60
Legislative Council relative to state school
land.

Associated Press Financial Writer
NEW YORK, July 28.-The
stock market edged higher this
week on the lightest trading in
q year.
The Associated Press average
Of so stocks this week made a
moderate gain of 1.20 to 1880.
The Dow Jones average ad-
vanced 1872 to $500.
Wall Street appeared to be
preoccupied with whether Pres
ident Kennedy would recon-
mend an immediate tax cut.
Since the President has post
poned his decision until some
time in August when he will
have in hand the economic re-
ports for July, the financial
community was left in a kind
of limbo.
Toward the end of the week,
thanks to a published article
which stated fatty that the
President had determined on a
81 billion reduction of income
taxes, sentiment in the street
began to improve. Even though
White House sources denied
that Mr.. Kennedy had made
up his mind, the general feel
ing among the brokerage fra
ternity was that a tax cut was
probable.
This was enough to improve
buying somewhat but not
enough to cause any general
enthusiasm among the public.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: General
Motors. up ~ at 5O1a on 243,-
