Controversy Reaches Count-Down

new pitch this week when
forces in her own party began

possible candidates to oppose
her in the 1864 Republican pri-

Governors Demagoguery Condemned
F ederu WASTE CHARGE
Challenged BY EskiIdsen

Recently" Eskildsen recalled,
"Babcock Said Yellowtail Dam was
a fine federal prof ect-meaning /
suppose, that it is fine because of
his exclusive contract to haul ce-
ment for Yellowtail other than
this, does he mean to say that Malm-
strom Air Force Base, Glasgow Air
Force Base, our federal highways, the
SIP million dollars the government
subsidies the National Guard with,
are good or bad 4. or does he mean
the $154 million dollars in federal
funds that make up approximately 1s
of Montana's state budget for 1863
1904 budget which Governor Bah
cock presented and the Republican
controlled House of Representative
passed-are these examples in Gov
ernor Babcock's mind of the monster
federal government and the ridiculous
waste of expenditures?

and over again as a member of the
House in the last session, and ask
the Governor once again if he is

Public praise this week by
Gov. Babcock of a LIFE maya
zine article condemning al
legged pork barrel" spending
by Washington, brought a
quick rejoinder from Rep. Les
lie Eskildsen (D-Phillips), who
served as Minority Whip in
the 1868 Legislature.
Taking strong issue with the Gov.
ernor over Babcock's expressed
hope that the LIFE article twill
inspire many people to write to
their Congressman and Senators
about the unnecessary spending so
prevalent in Washington and about
the abuses of our tax dollars"
Eskildsen challenged the Governor
to stop playing the demagogue"
and be specific in documenting his
assertions of waste"
'I would be interested said the
Phillips legislative veteran, ito have
Gov. Babcock tell us once and for all

spending and what he considers bad.

lproject which began in earnest about
January of 1861 when she first held
her ground against the retrenchment-
right-wing forces who had their ar
tillery aimed ait the heart of the
states educational program.
Involved, at best, in the most re-
cent exchange are estimates of
revenue, taxable valuation and school
needs, in process put forth in re-
visions in financing the public schools
by the 1868 Legislature. The Republi-
can-controlled House had hoped to
keep all financial computations in
the hands of administration ap-
pointees, but the Democratic Senate
baked and insisted those responsible
for the administration of schools
should have something to say about
the estimates.
The State Board of Equalization
has been aided and abetted by the
corporate controlled Montana Tax
payers Association (who had figures
in depth prepared for release almost
before the Board of Equalization
could give them out) in condemning
Miss Miiler's Estimates, as against
their own estimates.
In turn the popular State Super
intendent has said she refuses to
be intimidated and twill continue
to exert every effort to protect the
schools and the people of the state
from political chicanery".
Her statement was made at the
same time she charged that the Dan
Full on administration appointed
chairman of the Board of Equaliza-
tion authorized a deal made in his
presence" to a member of her fl
nance staff, designed to make things
look better than they are". When her
charge was denied Miss Miller's opti-
mistic statement was that Dan Full
toms Conscience" should ''be his
guide.
One casual observer has suggested |
that the actual dollar involvement |
in this fracas is overshadowed by the
virulent antagonism Montana people |
are witnessing from those who can
not tolerate the independence with
which Harriet Miller goes about per-
forming her job in what she deter
mines to be the best interests of Mon
