BLF&E Safety Award :.
Butte RuiIrouder
Named locomotive
Fireman for 1862

| BUTTE (LABOR) William R.
Bennett, who at the risk of his own
life, saved child from death, has
been chosen as Locomotive Fireman
of 1862" and was honored at safety
award banquet in the nations capital
on March %.
Bennett, fireman ON the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific, was previously
named the July winner in the Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen's
monthly awards to firemen who,
through alertness on the job, save
lives or avert serious damage. Ben
nett was selected as the years win
ner by board of judges, composed
of leaders in various walks of life.
As previously reported, Bennett
was in the cab of a Oscar ore train

Erickson, 2, playing ON the tracks at
Anaconda. Bennett shouted to the
engineer to dynamite her" (that is,
set the brakes in emergency
Knowing, however, that the train
couldn't stop in time, Bennett leaped
from the engine, rushed ahead,
grabbed Mark up, and rolled down
an embankment with him just as the
train rolled by. They missed being hit

Patton Calls For
Lorge-SeuIe Public
Works Program

NEW YORK-President James G
Patton of the National Farmers Union
has called for ga vast public works
program to put men to work building
hydroelectric dams, steam plants,
pollution abatement, discrimination
and atomic energy plants as part of
three-step program to combat I'M
employment and federal deficits.
Addressing the Farmers Union con-
vention in New York City last week,
Mr.. Patton also urged separation
of the nations capital budget from
a government expenditures budget
$50 that investments in plant and
development projects can be recog-
nized as building the nation, not as
increasing the burden of debt. AS
the third step, Mr.. Patton urged
tax cut geared to provide the great
est stimulus to the purchasing power
of our people,.
He questioned present federal
budgeting procedures which lump in
vestments in with operating expenses.
Investment in steam plant or a
hydroelectric installation is consid-
cred an expense" he explained. 'sNo
or business in the United |
States keeps its books in such a mis-
Nading and illogical fashion, nor does
any other country.

HASSLE DURING 1868
LEGISLATURE RECALLED

During the recent legislative ses.
sion the Montana Hotel Association
became involved in the matter OF
whether there should be resident
liquor distillery agents in this state
They first repudiated their chief
lobbyist who was supporting the bill
Glib 73), then apparently decided
they did have an interest in the
liquor business.
The MONTANA CITIZEN said it
this way: ''The hotel-motel people
have finally made up their mind and
(their lobbyist) came out on top.
In the 1859 legislative session Bah
cock voted for bill that would have
allowed retail liquor representative
on the Liquor Control Board (HB
63).
This bill passed both houses but
was vetoed by Governor Aronson, as
mot in the best interest of Mon
tana"
In 1857 Babcock voted against
similar bill.
Babcock was a sponsor Of a bill
in 1859 that would have allowed
resident distillery agents in Mon
tana. This was HB 81, and it was
killed in the Senate. In 1853 it was
numbered HB 248 and as Represent
ative from Custer county he voted
for the same type of legislation.
Again in 1857 it was HB 169. He
voted for it.

GRAZING RENTAL INCREASE,
AN ACCOMPLISHMENT

AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
Turning to some of the accomplish
ments of the session Senator Schoon
over mentioned the raise in fees fol
state grazing lands. "This battle was
won in spite of the bowls of the stock
men,. The Senator characterized 2
stockman as one who leases 70 or sc
sections of land and counts his stock
by the thousand head. "There are no
stockmen in Lake county according
to their definition of the term
Schoonover said. "The increase will
add approximately 100000 to the
Income and Interest fund, which is
distributed to the elementary schools
of the state on a population basis. 1t
will help, but those who lease state
lands know that they will still not
be paying as much for it as for private
land of comparable carrying capacity
"The new School Foundation Pro-
gram was characterized by Schoon-
over as "a stopgap measure. The
$3.5 million increase in the appro-
priation for schools will not begin
to meet our educational needs. 1t
will not even maintain our schools
in the same standard as formerly.
We have been cutting down on our
educational program to a ridiculous
point. We will not be able to i'm
prove our schools till we get some
other kind of tax than the property
tax.
''No one mentioned the sales tax
during the whole session." Schoon-
over continued. "Rep. Aasheim's pro-
posal to raise the income tax-the
only justifiable kind of a tax by
II of 10 was tabled by the Republi-
can majority in the House without
even permitting it to be debated, a
curtailment of the right of free
speech resented not only by the
Democrats of both houses, but also
by some Republicans.
DEMAGOGUERY"
Of the many bills that were killed,
Schoonover mentioned in particular
the Governors so-called Montcare |
bill, dubbed the Dontcare or Bandaid
bill by Senate Democrats. SIT was
nothing but political, deceptive dema-
goguery" the Senator said. cit was
an insult to the people whom it was
to help. 1t was designed not
'or those on relief who already re-
.eive free medical and hospital care,
,ut for the fine people who have ,
worked all their lives and contributed
o the economy, who in old age are
living on low fixed income from saw

'auper's oath before they could get ,
ny help.

''It was killed when Senator Dus- b

Soil Waste
In Potomac
Is Revealed

The Potomac River drainage
system carries off soil and other
sediment at a rate exceeding
that of other large muddy"
streams of the United States -
In fact, some of the Potomac
tributaries discharge more sedi.
ment per square mile than even
the Mississippi and Colorado
Rivers.
The Potomac's total sediment
load Is an estimated ITO tons
per square mile per year. This
comes to a grand annual total
of rs million tons. About so
percent of the load originates
from that part of the river basin
above Point of Rocks, Nd. while
another II percent comes from
the Monocacy and Its tributaries
alone.
The sediment transport rate
around Metropolitan Washing
ton, where the ever.present con-
struction bulldozer sweeps the
vegetation away, Is the most
appalling Of all.
Some samples: Little Falls
Branch, near Bethesda, rep
resenting a drainage area
of Al, has an average an
nual sediment discharge of 1920
tons per square mile; Henson
Creek at Oxon Hill, discharges
2160 tons per square mile an
nually, and Rock Creek and the
Northwest and Northeast
Branches of the Anacostia
River well over 1000 tons per
square mile.
These are some Of the find.
ings of a new bulletin. "Prelim.
mary Study of Sediment Sources
and Transport In het Poto-
mac River Basin" published by
the Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin.
The report, prepared after a
two-year study by scientists of
the u. s. Geological Survey in
cooperation with the Potomac
Commission, is available for
free distribution at the Commits
sion office. 203 Transportation
Building, Washington 6, DC.
1t underscores, along with the
Commissions publication last
month of "A Program for Sedi.
ment Control in the Washington
Metropolitan Region" the Sc
robustness of sediment problems
in the Potomac from stand
points of economics, esthetics
and recreation.

Our Hold on the Planet

And I look forward to a world
which will be safe not only for de-
mocracy and diversity but also for
personal distinction.
Robert Frost was often skeptical
about projects for human i'm
provement. Yet I do not think he
would disdain this hope.
As he wrote during the uncer-
tain days of the Second War:
Take human nature altogether
time began
And it must be q little more In
favor of man.
Say a fraction of l per cent at the
very least.
Our hold on the planet wouldn't

Greeting Power

The men who create power make
an indispensable contribution to
the nations greatness. But the
men who question power make a
contribution just as indispensable,
especially when that questioning
is disintereSted.
For they determine whether we
use power or power uses us. Our
national strength matters; but the
spirit which informs and controls
our strength matters just as
much. This was the special sig
nificance Of Robert Frost.
He brought an unsparing in
stinct for reality to bear on the
platitudes and pieties of society.
His sense of the human tragedy
fortified him against self deception
and easy consolation.
II have been," he wrote, lone
acquainted with the night"
And because he knew the mid
night as well as the high noon,
because he understood the ordeal
as well as the triumph of the hui
man spirit. he gave his age
strength with which to overcome
despair.
At bottom he held a deep faith
In the spirit of man. And it's
hardly an accident that Robert
Frost coupled poetry and power.
For he saw poetry as the means of
saving power from itself.
When power leads man towards
arrogance poetry reminds him of
his limitations. When power mar
rows the areas Of mans concern,
poetry reminds him Of the rich

every question.
Third. I regard achievement
Of the full potential Of our re-
sources-physical, human, and
otherwise to be the highest
purpose Of governmental poll
cies next to the protection of
those rights we regard as in
alienable.
Fourth, regard waste as the
continuing enemy of our society
and the prevention of waste
waste of resources. waste of
lives, or waste of opportunity
to be the most dynamic Of the
responsibilities of our Gov
eminent.
These tenets. I concede, are
simple. They are certainly per-
sonal. For these are not tenets I
have embraced or adopted, but.
rather. beliefs I have-over so
years-developed and come to
follow from my own experience.
In the instance Of the first
listed. I realize that-in these
times-the notion that each
American has something to say
and the right to an audience
may seem excessively idealistic.
I do not believe that is so. either
in principle or in practice.

work in Washington of my own
origins. I was born to the Hill

gion then, still remote today al

Behind Good Judgments: The Basic Truths Of Art

President Kennedy gave =
summary Of his philosophy Of
the arts In a speech at the dedi-
cation In October Of . library
at Amherst College to the mem
cry Of Robert Frost. This Is the
address:
I'm very honored to be here
with you on this occasion, which
means so much to this college
and also means so much to art
and the progress of the United
States.
This college is part of the United
States. It belongs to it. So did
Mr.. Frost, in a large sense, and
therefore I was privileged TO &C
cept the invitation somewhat rem
dered to me in the same way
that Franklin Roosevelt rendered
his invitation to Mr.. MacLeish-
the invitation received from Mr..
McCloy.
The powers Of the Presidency
are often described. It's hmita-
tons should occasionally be re-
membered and. therefore, when
the chairman of our Disarmament
Advisory Committee-who has
labored so long and hard, Gov.
Stevenson's assistant during the
very difficult days at the United
, Nations, during the Cuban crisis.
a public servant Of so many
years-asks, or invites the Presi-
dent of the United States, there
is only one response. So I'm glad
to be here.

cept, yet like many things
noble and beautiful. it has GER
tain frailties and we seem
quick now to crush it. We
crush out the individuality of
our political beliefs and, by
this process Of high-speed sort
ing and classifying of Ameri-
cans, automatic our choice of
courses and sterilize our ex-
plorations Of the reasons why.
Some might suggest that my
rebellion against this process is
a show Of the provincial Texan

ans are independent and indi-
vidual, but not the monopoliSts
Of these virtues that we some
times suppose ourselves to be.

others and even by poets. For
Robert Frost was one of the gran
lite figures Of our time in America.
He was supremely two things-an
artist and an American.
A nation reveals itself not only
by the men 1t produces but also by
the men in honors, the men it re-
members.
In America our heroes have
customarily run to men of large
accomplishments. But today this
college and country honors man
whose contribution was not to our
size but to our spirit; not to our
political beliefs but to our insight;
not to our self-esteem, but to our
self comprehension.
In honoring Robert Frost we
therefore can pay honor to the
deepest sources Of our national
strength. That strength takes
many forms and the most obvious
forms are not always the most
significant.
