The fact is, women have tbeen in bondage down through the centuries. It is only in recent times that they have begun t o get a little of the credit due to them.

All costs considered, one bushel of wheat will more than pay for spraying one acre of wheat. Considering the small cost in the light of the big savings gained by eliminating weed competition, you cant afford not to spray. In Saskatoon, Canada, wild mustard in only moderately heavy stand cut yields by 40 on an average season.

At no time has the Record refused cooperation with the City Council However, W'e recall a recent meeting in which various members of the council were to do certain things in hopes of obtaining aid. Some of the proposals have been completed. Others have not. If anyone doubts the veracity of this newspaper in doing its part to obtain a solution, we have a file of correspondence, telephone calls and telegrams to various agencies asking assistance, that were to have been followed by like correspondence and requests from the City of Monticello approximately forty-fiv- e days ago. As of April 19, the necesfollow-up from the sary procedure City of Monticello was never filed with the proper agencies. And outside of one telephone call, submitted by the Mayor of Monticello to Senator Wallace F. Bennet prior to or near the date of April 19th, request from this office and other agencies our correspondence have been ignored. to follow-u- p In other words, City Council, you could look mighty foolish if our files were published and you wound up with a lame excuse for not leading the issue, or even following. 1 suggest you begin working with the townspeople. As of that time this newspaper will support your efforts and program percent. We certainly have an equitable investment in the future of this area, and for that reason we have no intention of watching our dollar-valu- e decrease for lack of effort. Either our effort, or those in responsible authority. As an afterthought have you considered a possible reason Monticello ore stockpiles are being shipped to other areas for processing? A few million dollars of taxpayers money presents very little problem to Uncle Sam if greener pastures offer more, and they most certainly do! Right from the top, information leads me to believe you probably have four to six weeks to make some progress before you begin to feel the impact of a lost economy. Nor will you be advised as to their method of liquidation. So far you have left them little but a perfect excuse for liquidation. An ereas growth depends entirely on its water supply. One reason why FHA probably compares this area to a case of measles. Nor will further construction or growth be forthcoming unless this problem is settled. What better reason for AEC to pull stakes. I could be wrong, but if you'll check the current Uranium Digest editorial and then add the animosity created by the Council's contention that the government is responsible for the present boom and local condition, and should therefore absorb the entire cost, and our information begins to make sense. I wonder how many businesses would survive if the mill money were unavialable? In case your memorys a little short, you almost lost the mill last fall because of the water condition. Nor would I be too sure the shallow wells will resolve the issue. In any event, youre dealing with a government agency not a private business. And since this one operation controls the greater part of the local economy, you would probably of do well to revamp your logic to coincide with the temperment government projects until such time as it may revert to private enterprise If you think for a minute Uncle Sam would be reluctant to pull a few million dollar installation, when billion dollar installations have been left to cobwebs in the past, your reasoning is sour grapes. As a candid observation: Why not expend the energies being wasted trying to scuttle this Editor on something constructive. Like fulfilling all of the promises and proposals made at the recent meeting with the Chamber of Commerce Directors. Your last and only chance of obtaining aid rests in Washington, as we have contended for several weeks. And only by combined effort from all of the organizations and can and senate representatives clubs and house representatives you hope to achieve weight of public opinion. Hats off to Councilman Lisle Adams for his correspondence to the state Republican Headquarters. Also to City Manager Keith Jewkes for his assistance in compiling information with Dale Despaines. Effort, now, runs the possibility of being too late. Lets hope it wont also be too little. i again.

My mother pled their cause with me, and I felt that she was just as deserving as my father, and I felt that he deserved every right and privilege of any man: It came to me that if my mother was inferior, then I partook of that inferiority, and it came to me very clearly that if I made my wife inferior, I made my children inferior.

My father was a republican, my mother a democrat. I asked her why she was a democrat, and she gave as one of her reasons that my father was a republican. That inspired in me a new respect for her; she was still an individual. I could feel that I had inherited more from an individual than from a parrot.

First, the Saturday session once again demonstrated the latent evil in legislating too hastily, with tempers and time short. Second, it brought out sharply the shortcomings of a system of calling a special session for one purpose and not including more items, if and when needed, even at the cost of changing the session, date at the last moment or the conditions under which the session was called. Thirdly, the trend was clearly shown, stronger than ever, toward extending to agricultural labor the same governmental regulations in existence in other industries. Lets look at these three a moment. There is a little doubt in anyones mind that, had Gov. J. Bracken Lee included the milk price war on the session agenda that a bill would have been passed to peg prices. There is just as little doubt that the temper of the legislators bebill patterned after Californias law ing what it was, that a would have stood a very good chance of being enacted into law. This is not to state that this measure is or is not a good bill Its own backers were quick to admit that they knew very little about it. That bill held out machinery for price fixing on every level producer, distributor and retailer. In such an atmosphere, with emotions running high and a powerful lobby right on the premises, the chances for poor legislation are as good, or better, than the chances for good legislation. It demonstrated once again the governors disinclination to be swayed by pressure and, it also was a victory for the and often successful, system of negotiation as a means of settling e time-honore- d differences. At the same time, however, the milk war problem flared into the open in plenty of time for preliminary studies to be made and the matter included on the agenda of a slightly enlarged session if there had not been so much distrust between the executive and legislative branches of government.. A session called to correct one inequity is a good thing. One called with the intention of correcting two oversights is even better But if more matters than this can be handled, that is even better. Lastly, farmers are being backed, whether they like it or not, into a situation where workmens compensation, social security and other items are being moved into agricultural fields. In settled industries, where jobs are more permanent, this is a good thing. In the farm labor field, the entire matter should be studied with greater care than by patch-woramendments raised on the floor of a legislative session. It is a point for agricultural representatives to bear in mind. Per. haps such a study would help clear the air. k GOOD LUCK y long-rang- e AND CONGRATULATIONS . I brain-washe- TO SAN JUAN RECORD J.
