Business leaders, at the 17938 Congress of American Industry and the National Association of Manufacturers, endorsed a creed of individual freedom and enterprise while opposing heavy legislation and centralized control. The new platform asserts the country must preserve American system principles and resist overbearing government action as recovery and progress hinge on private initiative and ownership.

Helena’s 1935 construction to reach high mark in years
Helena city records show 11 months of 1935 construction totaling $400,210, higher than all of 1934 and on track to reach $500,000 for the year. Homebuilding revived with over a dozen new dwellings and many larger ones, plus two large projects the $140,000 warehouse for the state liquor control board and the $500,000 Masonic office and hospital building. Earthquake damage spurred October and November repairs while delaying new work, though federal housing projects resume as conditions permit. November set a new record with 100 permits totaling $67,254, and December activity looks set to surpass previous records. The report notes possible continued growth before severe weather halts progress.
