Bennett Named To
Western Democratic
Civil Rights Group

Democratic State Chairman Free
Barrett announced Wednesday the
appointment of Gordon R. Bennett
Helena attorney, as Montana mem
Der of the Western States Demo
cratic Conference Committee on Civil
Liberties and Civil Rights.
Bennett will attend the 1868 meet
ing of the Conference in Salt Lake
City September 10 through the 21st,
Barrett said. The Conference will be
attended by delegates from eleven
western states. President Kennedy is
scheduled to speak at the Conference
banquet.
"Civil liberties and civil rights are
are of national interest and concern
and are not problems peculiar to any
particular part of the country" Bar
rett said. "For this reason, am
most pleased that Montana has been
asked to send delegate on these
matters to this important conference,
and that Mr.. Bennett has agreed to
attend"

The secondary system design is left
up to the state and county. The only
interest the BPR has in secondaries
is the accounting.
Commissioner Ted James said that
he was more conservative" than the
others in that he thought that since
there is no legal reason for the coun-
ty commissioners to set priority on
road construction, only custom, that
the people should come directly to
Helena to establish priority.
A friendly rancher took some of
the commissioners out to see his place
and then to the Wagon Wheel saloon.
In the wee hours of the morning Com
missioners Mass and Gosman found
out that maybe the rancher makes
more off the blackjack table than
the ranch. At least they got cleaned
of about twenty bucks apiece.
In Butte we were a little shocked
to learn that they were using cement
sterilization on some of the fancy
loops and whorls of the Interstate
there because the toughest part of
our journey was over cement stabili-
cation near Avon ON the road to
Lincoln. But they are going to put
concrete over the cement stabiliza-
ton so maybe it will work out.

Farm Population
Drops 20 Less
Than 81 Of Total

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
u. S. farm population dropped to
14,3OO persons last year. This was
less than 80 of the 1876, 764, 900 per-
sons in the country new all-time
low.
In only two years in the past 80
has farm population increased. This
was in 1916 and 1947, when many
persons were leaving war plants and
the Army.
The average income of each of
the 14,3O0,O0O persons who live on
U. S. farms rose to $1,436 last year.
This was the highest ever. It in
cluded $94O from farm sources and
$496 from non-farm sources.
Farmers income still Jagged be-
hind other persons. Per capita nom
farm income last year was $2,445.
There were signs, however, that
farmers were beginning to catch up.
Figured per capita, farm income has
risen steadily from 500 of nom
farm income in 1859 to $3.50 in
1862. In fact, farm peoples incomes
compared better with others incomes
last year than anytime in the past
80 years, excepting only 1948 and
1851.
Farm operators net cash incomes
$2,556 last year. This COM
pared with $5,021 wages for the
average factory worker.

NEW YORK-Newspapers appear
to be the latest industry to use wage
rates as an excuse to raise prices
far in excess of the increase of the
wage bill.
The GUILD REPORTER says that
the NEW YORK TIMES five-cent
price increase, for example, will
yield the paper about $4.5 million a
year above the cost of it's contract
settlements with newspaper unions.

The average residential customer
uses about 1000 kilowatt hours of
electricity per month with bill to-
falling $3.50. The reduction will af-
feet Immediately homeowners whose
bill is higher than $500.
The lowered rates+averaging 20

The minimum ON this rate had
been reduced from $3.50 to 81 per
month in 1855. This "all-electric"
rate is substantially lower than SINH

utilities, Quasi said.
This is the latest in series of rate
reductions begun in 1854. Wholesale

residential and commercial rates
were possible and justified Quasi
added. Savings to our commercial
and residential customers will release
$650,OOO into local trade channels,
further emphasizing the fact that

This and previous rate reduc-
tions now are saving the districts
customers about 50 million per

"The new rates will not jeopardize
our excellent financial condition as
reflected in the districts bonds

said.
USE TRIPLED WITH
LOWER RATES
PUD Manager A. S. J. Steele re-
ported that since 1949 the number of
electric customers in all categories
served by the district has nearly
doubled from $4,000 to $4,000. Dur
ing the same period the average use
per customer of residential cleo
tricity has more than tripled from
$500 to $4,000 kilowatt hours per
year and corresponding increases by
commercial customers have occurred.
s'In very real sense, our residen-
tial and commercial customers them
selves have done much to bring down
the incremental cost of their electric
service by using increased quantities
of electricity Steele said.
eve are pleased we can make this
rate reduction and at the same time
continue to satisfy the heavy demands
of our customers for new and in
creased electric services, expand and
our extensive distribution
facilities and continue the Sultan
River project toward successful COM
oletion,'' Steele said. eve can assure
our customers that the districts
present facilities are ready and able
20 meet the demands for increased
service which will result from this
ate reduction"
During it's 14-year history in the
electric business the district has re-
luced its original bonded indebted
less from $191z million to $12A
million and has increased its plant
Falue from $161a million to nearly
;43 million. During this time rates
we're reduced in 1854, '55, '58 and
900.
'sIt is evident that progress of this
ind is the result of sound manage
nent, with the assistance of COM
'etent staff of experienced utility
ersonnel," Quasi said. "This past
projected into future
perations and coupled with antici-
ated increases in power use justifies
his reduction in rates"
"Our rates are already far be-
low the average for the state and

is owned by the people it serves,

After a daily check revealed
that all of the eggs weren't be-
ing paid for, Fetrow decided to
lock the storeroom - ordinarily
open "a hours a day-after dark
and to keep an eye on it. The
procedure paid off several
nights after he began the watch,

Armed with a shotgun, Fetrow

its meeting Monday night 1.-THE
majority membership of the

reasonable proposal and indi-
Gated to the chairman of the
Personnel Board that there was
no point of meeting with the
council to discuss this matter
further"
The council said it was pre-
pared to adopt the revised pay
schedules submitted by the
board except for the proposals

cially in consideration of the

prove or reject the entire Per-
sonnet program, it continued, "it
is regrettable that the Personnel
Board has made it impossible
for the Council to approve any
salary adjustments"
Both Palmer and Mrs. Angle,
however, insisted the differen-
tial was not a part of the pay
schedule under consideration
and said they would be willing
to reconsider it if an extensive
study of other areas indicates it
is not justified.
At the same time, Palmer de-
clared that the detective and
juvenile officials are required
to work extra hours without
pay while other police officers
receive either time off or over
time pay to compensate them
for similar work. He said fire.

Palmer conceded that Off.

departments have enough per-
sonnet to handle their assign.
ments without relying on over

Groups Goals
For Education
Are IndOrSed

Goals of the newly-organized
National Committee on Support
of the Public Schools were de-
scribed this week as admir-
able" by a representative of
the Committee for the Public
Schools in Montgomery County
who attended the national
groups meeting in Washing
ton.
Michael S. March, 332 Park
View Road, Chevy Chase, who
is research director for the non
partisan county group, said he
believed it was most signifi-
cant that nearly 300 leading
citizens from all over the coun-
try . have met to discuss the
importance of public education"
Theme of the sessions adj
dressed by several national
leaders, March said, was that
"the vital mission of our society
and that of our future lies in
giving every child a full chance
to get a good education"
Also, he said, the group be-
lieves that vigorous grass roots
local action is necessary to gen
crate the broad public interest
and the financial support which
are vital to realize the goals of
excellence in our public
schools"
Il hope that in our own coun-
ty we can unite and follow
through in achieving here the
admirable goals which the ma
tional committee for support of
public schools has highlighted
for the nation" he declared.
