Year of the ballot box
SO VERY SPECIAL
In the Orient, it may be the
Year of the Tiger, or the Ele
phant or the Lion.
We don't keep up on such
things. In this country it’s the
Year of the Ballot Box—and it
comes along with every even
number at the end of the date
It’s a year of destiny, even
though this may not seem like
a very important election.
Whenever we vote, we make
important decisions. Whenever
we mark an X. there are issues
at stake Sometimes they are
clearly defined, and sometimes
we are not at all sure about
them.
THE FOREST
AND THE TREES
Perhaps one reason issues do
not always seem clear to us is
that we are too close to them,
too involved with them We get
emotional about politics. To
often we become angry about
them—to the point where we
cannot think clearly.
Increasingly, elections and
the actions of those we elect,
affect our lives in many ways
The most obvious, of course, is
the way they affect our in
comes Perhaps it’s not an in
dication that we live on the
highest moral plane — but we
Americans do get emotional
about money

AN OBJECTIVE VIEWPOINT
What does a neutral observer
see in American politics? How
about the visitor from another
land who can't vote and has a
more biased point of view than
we do ourselves.
One thing he observes, as we
learned recently from a young
Burmese, is that we are all
more or less prejudiced. The
speaker told us that he knew
Democrats under the Eisen
hower administration who were
certain everything the Presi
dent did was wrong. And now,
some of his Republican ac
quaintances can see no good in
tie Kennedy administration At
the same time, be found it very
interesting and admirable that
we are all free to criticize.
However, he seemed quite cer
tain that we'd get farther if we
could once in a while see some
thing good in the opposite poli
tical faith — and support that
which is desirable, no matter
where it originated.
He is prefectly right, of
course

honest politician turns up —
and sometimes he is a Demo
crat and other times, he is a
Republican.
Both parties have their luna
tic fringe. The Democrats must
contend with a group variously
described as shading from pink
to red. which goes much too far
to the left.
The far-fighters are more re
cent, but not less difficult for
the Republicans—and there are
a host of them. Most combine
a sort of neo-Fascism with the
worst elements of witch hunt
ing and red baiting Some are
farther out than others—but all
of them go too far
WHAT PRICE VOTES?
Since the Democrats have
had their incubus longer than
the GOP, there have been at
tempts on the part of party
leaders and responsible politi
cians to make it clear that the
pinkos have no claim on the
party. It’s true that some par
ty representatives still try to
corral these votes, to their de
triment in our eyes, but for the
most part the extreme left
wingers are discredited
It is now time for the Re
publicans to do something The
party itself has indicated rather
half heartedly that it wants no
part of the neo-Fascist goings
on, but far too many leaders
are still playing footsie (under
the table, naturally) with the
various societies and schemes
that lead far too far to the ex
treme right.
PLENTY OF ROOM
There is still plenty of room
for differences between the two
parties. There’s the question
of tariffs, for example. That’s
a traditional one. There’s fed
eral aid to education, socialized
medicine, government vs. pri
vate ownership of resources,
utilities, industries, there’s the
whole broad spectrum of dif
ferences between the liberal
and the conservatives where
economic policies are concern
ed.
Nothing would please us more
than to see our political differ
ences argued along these lines
If we’re not careful, we may
have our campaigns of the fu
ture deteriorate into name call
ing matches with each party
trying to tar the other with
the brush of its extreme wing.
Those long wing feathers
must be cut away or issues will
be clouded and we’ll all be vot
mg AGAINST instead of FOR
The negative approach is just
as disastrous in politics and

This Problem of Alcoholism
It is estimated that there are
18.000 alcoholics in Montana, cost
ing taxpayers some $36 million a
year for welfare, custodial, police
and court costs. This amounts to
$2,000 per alcoholic About lO.OOn
of these alcoholics are employed
in business and industry. Since
the average alcoholic losses about
22 working days a year, the loss
( m Montana is 220.000 man shifts,
'or $4 million annually in wages
Alcoholism is a public health
; problem of epidemic proportions
|lt is recognized by the American
I Medical association and other
authoritative and scientific groups
as a true disease. According to
Arthur H. Cain, social scientist
at Yale University, there are 10
million cases of heart and circula
tory system diseases. 5 million
cases of alcoholism. 700.000 cases
lof cancer, and 250.000 cases of
tuberculosis in the United States
The problem of alcoholism is not
adequately being met in Montana.

sponsibilities. At the present time
no single community in Montana
has a coordinated program for the
prevention of alcoholism or for the
treatment and rehabilitation of the
alcoholic.
The National Council on Alco
holism estimates tha; about 70
million people in the United States
use alcoholic beverages at least
occasionally. This is about 6 out
of 10 adults. Around 5 million
of these people, or 1 in 13, have
found that the use of alcohol has
created some very serious prob
lems.
What is an alcoholic—the victim
of this disease called “alcohol
ism”? Until very recently, he was
a person to be shunned, reproach
ed or ridiculed. He was considered
by many to be immoral, weak
willed or obstinate. But nowadays,
those who have made a study of
alcoholism realize that scolding or
shaming the alcoholic, or urging
him to use will power, is useless
For once an alcoholic has taken
a drink, he is literally unable to
control his drinking. He drinks
because he feels compelled to. and
keeps on drinking even though he
may realize he is harming his
health, endangering his job. and
hurting the people closest to him
—his family and friends

Based on a review of an earlier

support on these crops in 1962
without taking part in the 1962
feed grain which applies to com.
grain sorghum and barley only.
A G. Westwood. Jr., chairman
of the Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation committee,
points out that this is also a
change from the 1961 program,
when participation in the feed
gram program for corn and grain
sorghum was required in order to
Im- eligible tor 1961 support on
oats and rye.
The chairman emphasized that
this year producers will be eligible
for price support on com and
barley only if they participate in
the 1962 Feed Crain Propram.
Producers of acceptable verities
of malting barley will be eligible
for price support only if they meet
requirements under this program,
including signing of an intention
to participate, planting only ac
ceptable malting varities. and
growing not more than 110*7 of the
