OPEN LETTER TO ALL
PARENTS
Dear Parents:
The purpose of this letter and
the following list is to bring to
your attention that not all comic
books are funny!
Recently published facts and
findings prove horror, crime, and
sex comics to be an important
and UNNECESSARY contribu
tion to the increase of juvenile
delinquency.
We sincerely believe that the
awareness of this will prompt
an increasing “home censorship",
in every family in our commu
nity. A word of praise or criti
cism to every store owner con
cerning his comic book supply
is also highly recommended.
OPERATION BOOK SWAP IS:
February 3 and 4, 1955.
PLACE: Local schools, as in
structed by the students' teach
ers.
Children from the ages 6 to 16
years turning in 15 or more
comics from the following list
will have their choice of a good
SI 00 value book. Cash prizes of
55.00, $3.00 and $1.50 will be
given to the children who bring
in the three highest number of
objectionable comics.
This is a nation-wide project

GENERAL REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE BUSINESS TO BE RESUMED
BY THE
Thomas A. Busey Agency
Browning, Montana
Having returned to Montana after a four months absence, I
wish to announce that I will resume my real estate business in
Glacier County and northern Montana at once.
Arrangements have been made with a number of reliable
Real Estate firms in Montana, Washington, Oregon and northern
Idaho for an exchange of listings, and we will therefore be pre
pared to give an excptionally efficient service in handling listings
for all classes of property given us for sale. This service will in
clude listings for ranch property, farm lands both irrigated and
non-irrigated, business places of all sizes and descriptions, and in
fact most everything in the way of real or personal property.
Your listings are invited.
OIL ROYALTIES, in some of the best spots along the rapidly
developing mountain front are now available at attractive prices
to Montana citizens only. Some of these royalties are near the
well now being started by th Union Oil Company, southwest of
Browning; and also in the section northwest of Browning where
high prices have been paid for leases by the major oil companies,
but drilling has not been started yet, but probably will be in the
next few months. Now is the time to pick up some of this land
owners royalty while the prices are relatively low.
We have good listings on farm lands and other property
in Flathead county, west of the mountains, including lake-shore
homes and producing orchard places, some of the latter with at
tractive homes. Listings also include some good buys in the rapid
ly developing west coast states of Washington, Oregon and nor
thern Idaho.
If you want to buy or sell ranch or farm property, or if you
are interested in selling or buying any kind of business or per
sonal property in the area in which we are operating we invite
you to call and get particulars. We can give you the best service
possible.

ACTION of Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra Benson In slash
ing price supports on secondary
grain crops such as oats, barley,
rye and grain sorghums and corn
in non-commercial areas to 70%
of parity as compared to present
85% average, is added fuel to the
fire growing in the 84th congress
' over the farm price support issue.
I It will be remembered that back
iin mid-September this column re
ported this action would likely hap
pen after the election, when the
Secretary cancelled his total acre
age allotment plan for basic crops.
, which would have prohibited
planting these secondary crops on
acreage diverted from the basic
crops.
The Secretary’s recent action
will bring support prices on oats
down from 80# in 1953 to 61# in
1955; on Barley from $1.24 down to
94#; on rye, from $1.43 dovn to
sl.lß and on grain sorghums from
$2.43 down to $1.78.
Prices on corn in commercial
areas likely will be placed at near
90% of parity in commercial areas,
but the Secretary said that corn
price supports in the non-commer
cial areas likely would equal the
prices of secondary grains, or 70%
in non-commercial areas. However
it is this com from commercial
areas that is in market competi
tion with oats, rye, barley and
sorghums as cash crops. For com
in non-commercial areas is most
ly fed on the farms where pro
duced and therefore relatively un
important in the cash market.

parity in the congress declare ac
tion of Secretary Benson in slash
ing price supports on these sec
ondary crops is in direct conflict
with the promises of President
Eisenhower, who declared in his
famous farm speech at Kasson,
Minn., in 1952:
. We must find methods of
obtaining greater protection for
our diversified farms ... as pro
vided in the Republican platform.
The non-perishable crops so im
portant to the diversified farmer
crops such as oats, barley, rye
and soybeans—should be given
the same protection as available
to the major cash crops.”
Secretary Benson in his an
nouncement declared: "Production
of these grains (the secondary
teed grains) in 1954 was substan
tially higher than in 1953 and there
will be no restriction in their pro
duction in 1955 . . . The lower sup
ports are expected to encourage
better adjustment and free flow of
the four grains into feed use."
And that is what some of the
farm leaders in Washington expect
to happen, which they declare will
result in an inevitable flood of
cheap small grains, which, plus
wheat at 75% of parity next year,
will drive 90% corn into price sup
port loan storage in great volume
from the commercial com growing
areas. Then with a new "corn
surplus" on their hands the flexi
ble support adherents will offer
this new surplus as either an eco- i
nomic or political justification for ;
driving com supports down further.

CAMPAIGN COSTS
MORE FOR LOSERS
The losers spent about SBOO,OOO
more than the winners in the
1954 national election campaign
for control of congress.
Reports filed with the clerk of
the House showed last week that
four Republican National Organ
izations spent about $3,716,134
last year, when they were fight
ing unsuccessfully to keep their
thin margin in Congress in last
November's elections.
That was about 28 per cent
more than indicated spending for
Democratic groups, who saw
their candidates take over con
trol of the House and the Senate
this week by a slender majority.
The Democratic figure includes
spending by national labor poli
tical organizations, which invest
large amounts in Democratic
campaigns, with hardly a trickle
to Republican candidates.
The Democratic-labor spending
reported so far was $2,822,631,
but the figure was not quite com
plete because one group, the
ClO’s Political Action Co m -
mittee, has not reported on the
last two months of 1954.
Both the Republican and the
Democratic-Labor groups report
ed almost exactly the same total
deficit for the year: About $266,
000 each.

Q —What is the total population of the country today, and what is the
projected population twenty years from now?
A— Latest population figures today are 164,782,000. Projected population
for 1975 is 220,982,000.
Q—Can you tell me the total debt of Individuals in the United States?
A—Figures of 1953 give total liabilities of individuals as $79.9 billion. This
is broken down into mortgage debt, $66.8 billion and consumer debt
as $24.1 billion. In this connection total liquid assets of individuals for
1953 totaled $379.1 billion, leaving net equity assets of individuals at
$288.2 billion.
Q —What are Constitutional courts and legislative courts?
A—All courts are constitutional courts with the exception of these courts
established by congress: Court of Customs Appeals, Court of Claims,
all consular courts; the court of private land claims; territorial dis
trict courts and courts set up for Indian tribes such as the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Citizenship courts.
Q —What are the powers of state legislature?
A— The state legislatures have all powers except those which have been
delegated by the States to the Federal Constitution and those which
are prohibited by their own state constitutions.
Q —Which one of the Rights took the longest to formally establish as
a part of our Bill of Rights?
A—Freedom of the press. The famous trial of Peter Zenger, a printer in
1734, probably was responsible for the formal establishment of this
right of freedom of the press. It established that truth is a defense
against a suit for libel.
Q—What were the basic principles of our constitution?
A— There were six, the two most important are considered as all states
are equal and that all persons are equal before the law.
