State College Winter
Quarter Enrolment
Up Over 10 Per Cent

BOHEMIAN - Glasses resumed at
Montana State College last week with
285 new and former students and
1898 returning students registering
for the winter quarter.
This years total winter quarter
enrolment is 4,273 compared to last
years total of 1858, according to
Helen Fechter, assistant registrar.
Included among the new 285 stu
DENTS are At new freshmen, 1876 for
nler students, So transfers, 26 trans
fer freshmen, Fl former students
transferring back to MISC, and three
students who have been previously
enrolled in continuing education
courses.
There are 2,949 men and 1924
women registered. A breakdown of

Authorization, Farm Problems, ECM--

Looking at this group problem
from another angle, and that farmers
unlike major industry cannot regu
late production to meet estimated
need, he said that after a certain
point there is an ''inelastic demand
for farm products; that people can
buy and eat only so much.
Depreciation, without con-
trolls, brings lower prices, and even
with acreage controls, farmers in
their attempts to keep their real
income stable, farm more inten-
sively, thus adding to surpluses.
Improving technology, Harston
pointed out, between 1910 and 1860
farm production so per
cent, while at the same time, reduc-
ing the farm labor force by A per
cent. Yet, in spite of all of this the
farmers share of the food dollar has
constantly declined, SO that as a group
they have not benefited from the
improved technology. In fact, every
year we find 100000 farm people
forced to leave the land to enter an
already glutted labor market.

Senate Joint Memorial l BY
lSiderius and others, asks the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to reject recommendation
recently made by Commission
Examiner Edward L. Boisseree
that grain freight rates to the
west by rail be increased to the
level existing before November 81,
1860. Boisseree, on October 25, 1862,
following complaint of river barge
lines, recommended to the ICC that
the 1860 decrease be wiped out. This
proposal, according to shipping au-
thorities, could also jeopardize the
1861 and 1862 decreases in rail
freight rates on grain.
For competitive reasons, railroads
serving the grain-producing terri
tories of western Montana, northern
Idaho, eastern Oregon and eastern
Washington, reduced grain freight
rates November 81, 1860, to North
Pacific coast terminals and to Cali
fornia.
Additional reductions to central
Montana points, all in heavier grain
producing areas, were subsequently
made on October IS, 1861, and again
on September Is, 1862. The competi-
ton met by these three separate re-
auctions was truck or truck-barge
shipments to the west coast and Cali
fornia. Shippers in each case sup
ported the railroad reductions.
The railroad rate reductions were
made after hearings by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Following issuance of this order,
d number of grain shippers, includ-
ing both growers and professors,
asked permission to intervene on be-
half of the railroads TO keep the
present rate. Included in this group
were the Montana Grain Growers
Association, Montana State Grange
and the Montana Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, as well as the Farmers Union
Grain Terminal Association and other
grain handlers. The Montana Rail
road Commission made the same re-
quests.
The request to intervene on behalf
of the railroads called attention not
only to the fact that the rates would
return to a higher level west of the
divide but that there was danger of
to the old or higher level |
in the heavy grain-producing areas
of central Montana. This would be
true because the long and short-haul |

WATCH ON The POTOMAC


particularly Rule ~ IN the Senate,
the filibuster rule. "The only pur-
pose of this rule is to prevent the
passage of legislation which is OPP
posed to the vital interests of the
coalition. This means civil rights, :"
Douglas said.
"a filibuster," he continues, "can
almost never stop bad legislation
which is pushed by powerful conserva-
tive groups of the country, e.g., the
satellite bill. But it can stop civil
rights. In fact, its real purpose is to
protect segregation and the so-called
white Southern way of life.
Next in his chronicle of defects
is the House Rules Committee. 1t
was originally established ito take
power away from a too powerful
Speaker" but now its chairman is
equally thigh handed. When a social
welfare bill or an education bill goes
to Rules, it is almost inevitably a
death sentence.
None of what Sen. Douglas says
has not been said before, but it is
usually said by outsiders like column
nists and broadcast commentators.
Or it is said within the fraternity.
Sen. Douglas does not believe that
the A administration representatives
on Capitol Hill were responsible for
the poor showing by the second ses-
sion of the 87th Congress.
"The President-whoever he may
be-has to deal with the basic prob
lem of the nature of the Congress.
In the last Congress, the President
had a bare majority for some
things. For many things, major
ity of the votes in Congress was
held by the Republican-Dixiecrat
coalition. That is why the Presi-
dent campaigned for more progress
sive Democrats"
Sen. Douglass comments became
public shortly before the President
ON the television interview
with reporters from the three net
works. In that interview, Mr.. Ken
needy, too, took note of the situation
in the Rules Committee. He did not
comment, nor was he asked, about
the filibuster or the seniority system.
This is what he said about the size
of the Rules Committee:
81 hope that the Rules Committee
S kept to it's present number, be-
,ause we can't function if it isn't.
We are through if we lose-if they
ry to change the Rules. Nothing
controversial in that case would come
10 the floor of the Congress. Our
Whole program in my opinion would
e emasculated.'
At the same time Chairman How
I'd w. Smith of Virginia said he
oped to reduce the committees size
rom Is to IL members, thus making
more comfortable. s'The Rules Com
1ittee ISSUE" he said, els not nego-
liable"
The issue is thus joined. Mr.. Ken
edy and the liberal Democrats now
ave to fight for at least the limited
Elective of keeping the Rules Com
littee as it is; Mr.. Smith will I'M
oubtedly fight ito make it as it used
, be.
Mr.. Kennedy has never been en-
thusiastic about fighting with Con-
gress, having served on Capitol
Hill himself. But if the Kennedy
Democrats fail to make the fight
and win it, then Howard Smith of
Virginia can exercise almost as
much of veto power as the Presi-
dent of the United States. That
would hardly seem to be in the
national interest.

AS to farm people, he said labor
recognizes that the "basic problems
of people on the farm and people in
the cities are the same, and he
pointed out the consistent support
labor has given to programs needed
by agriculture, both in Congress and
in state legislatures.
Looking at recently instituted re-
training programs, he said that ''re-
training in and of itself will not pro-
duce one new job" To provide the
jobs and meet the nations needs, he
continued, we must plan at least
decade ahead, as to the skills that
will be needed; how many doctors?
how many engineers?; how many sci
entists?; etc.
To effectively meet the needs
of the future" he emphasized, "we
must have effective overall plan

FARMER CAN NOT BE RUGGED !
iNDIVIDUALIST
The day is long since past when
the farmer can any longer be a
rugged individualist' DIR. Harston
said, in posing the question ''why does
the farmer seek group solutions to
his problems? The answer, he said,
is that farm problems are group prob
lens which can only be solved by
group action.
One of the greatest problems fac
ing agriculture, the farm economist
stated is that due to new technology,
and to changing national and world
the problem is always
changing.
Agriculture, he continued, does not
yield returns for labor and invest
nent commensurate to the returns
n non-agricultural fields. Average
agricultural per capita income, he
pointed out, is about the same as
hat of the unsl1illed worker in the
lily, and, although farmers are man
lgers, they receive only about one !
bird as much ais managers in other
ines. Return on agricultural invest +
rent is only about so per cent the c

hat three per cent of the farms mar r
let 81, per cent of sales; 25 per cent G
iarket7 only seven per cent, and 80 b
Ter cent, only two per cent. Yet, q

improved technology. In fact, every
year we find 100000 farm people
forced to leave the land to enter ar
already glutted labor market.
TECHNOLOGY AHEAD OF
POPULATION GROWTH
Harston sees little hope of meeting
The farm surplus problem by increas-
ing population, because agricultural
technology is staying ahead of popu-
lation growth. Also, drastic increase
in national per capita income would
only reflect itself in slight increase
in food buying.
Some of the slack can be taken up
by stamp plans, school lunch pro-
grams, additional distributions to
welfare recipients, etc.
The biggest possibility, he believes,
for increased farm product sales lies
IN the world market. Twenty eight
nations, he pointed out, are very much
in need of improved diets for their
people. In this instance, the problem
centers on how ito accomplish in the
economic field, how those countries
can pay for the portion of Americas
abundance they need to feed their
people.
DR.. Harston's outlook was anything
except optimistic for agriculture, es-
pecially the family-sized farm.
In reply to question as to the
economic effects ''No' vote on
the next wheat referendum would
have on Montana agricultural sta
bility, he said "we may have some
adjustments to make which are
pretty severe"

and other non-ECM nations I'M the

ECM is breaking down various bar
riers to trade, the free movement of
capital and labor, and other road
blocks to increased industrial pro-
illction within THE six-country mar
set area. But, this free trade prin-
3iple does not extend to countries
