Much depends upon “back home” reaction. Submission of the record peace time budget of $71.8 billion — op position to early tax reduction — the resistance of bureaucracy to cutting down big government — all contributed to the rise in con servative sentiment. Secretary of the Treasury G. M. Humphrey remains the leader in the movement to halt the drive of the New-Fair Dealers and “welfare state” advocates to keep spending and taxes at present confiscatory levels. Developments include: 1.

The tax on metallic minerals, at 2 or 4 per cent is considerably higher than the 1% per cent pro posed on non-metallic mining, such as vermiculite. Corporations would also be required to pay a 3 per cent mining license under this bill.

Melton The American Federation of Labor discovered by hard lessons, that “when opportunities .for pro fit diminish, opportunities for jobs likewise disappear.” This is brought forceably to our minds as we note the partial closing down of the tungsten mill at Glen this last week. It must necessarily be the same in the cattle business. Last week we discussed and quoted from the pamphlet by the Montgomery men, and following that Herb Wheat brought in an editorial Which strikes us as presenting a new line of thought on this cattle business somewhat different from the view taken by these fine men.
