A MINUTE
WITH MI

It's not news anymore, at least
10 most Of US, but Ne just could.
MT pass up this week without
mentioning what we consider a
great loss 10 our state with the
tragic death Of our governor, Don
Nutter.
We had the opportunity to
meet Don a few times during his
campaign and he impressed US
as a man OF great ability and
sincere convictions. and political
. tool Of no one. He vas down-to-
earth and believed In his poll
cies. lie never hesitated TO dis
cuSS or listen to the other mans
ideas. although he may not have
believed they were the best He
wss. indeed. Q good man for the
office and Is ~ Of his
Democrat friends said. "FIe was
the best Tnaa on the other side
of the fence 60 get along with
that I have ever known"
Don SutteT will be greatly
missed by all persons. Of both
parties.
Another big parlay between
world diplomats and the Rus
SLAMS is over. and we can say.
we told you So"
When will We ever learn that
you can't talk business with the
Reds unless you talk in terms of
their thinking, and to their ad-
vantage.
Every conference We enter into
with Russia ends up in going
home with nothing accomplish
ed other than to give the Rus
SLAMS more fodder for the prop
uganda machines. They iibe and
mock US with insults and accusa-
tons Why not hire a delega-
ton of fortune teIlers to predict
our future?
Les Schauf dropped in the shop
the other day to tell US that he
now has his ski lift in operation
at the Bison Greek Dude Ranch.
Someone made the remark along
the same lines we were think
ing Now that the chinook
has melted all the snow. the ski
lift is ready.
Actually we were thinking of
the remark. Now that the tenn
7erature is up to 50. they issue
biarksts to the Indians" j
Well. just wait!
We asked Les what he had
been doing as we hadn't seen
him around very often. and he
replied that he had been work
ing on a new invention. He
claims he has invented a small
electrically operated vacuumI
cleaner-like machine for picking
hurkleberries.
How In the dickens are you
going TO operate an electric pick
or up in the mountains where
there is no pOWer?" We asked.
ooh. there's lots of wild cur
rent bushes up there" he an
swered. "All you have to do is
hook the machine up 10 one Of
the bushes"
We just can't get over the idea
and TO US IL looks about as sens
ible as two tails on a donkey, the
idea of lowering federal import
tariffs and asking more money
for foreign aid and at the
same time. asking for power to
lower taxes. II just doesn't add
up
With the lowering of our long
established protective tariff
guard. our markets will be flood
ed with a variety of cheap mer-
chandiSe such as We have never
before seen Heaven knows we
have enough of such junk on our
markets already and Of
course, with the increased inn
ports of slave-labor ma1ufactur-
ed trash. will come the closing
of many of our own factories
and increased unemployment We
will all suffer.
We still have-'t learned. or
rather We should say our head
policy makers haven't, that our
foreign aid program is nothing
but a give-away expensive,
Senseless and useless. The loss
Of support from countries we
have been supporting. at the U.

confab called to spank Castrol
should make a lot Of diplomats
faces red but no. They want
more Of our dollars 20 throw
