Real Relief for People

Real Relief for People
Two measures before the legislature can
be listed as outstanding in their probable re-
lief of the people from present heavy bur-
dens.
These measures are directed at the con-
troll Of public utilities, whose private power
to tax is much heavier than is levied by even
the most extravagant unit of state govern
ment.
That members of the legislature show
signs of traditional servility to the interests
which have ruled the state and wrecked
their own stockholders by their financial
methods is unexplainable. But some there
seem to be who would postpone simple JUS
tice for the user of light and water and gas.
One of these measures would take away
from the jurisdiction of the public service
commission all utilities which are owned by
cities.
Cities which are progressive enough to
own their own sources of supply of common
necessities can be trusted to manage them
without the direction of the utility-minded
gentlemen who comprise the board.
Ii is at least fair to state that no man has
been appointed to that body in recent years
who was Objectionable to the utilities. For
the most part, they are the same men who
would be chosen by the utilities if these in
terests had the direct appointive power.
The result has been that cities have been
refused the right to cut their rates as costs
have been reduced in order that the compar-
ison between public and private ownership
might not become too obvious and too
CHASTITY for the holding company boys.
Other cities have been refused the right
10 extend their plants to care for con-
tiguous territory.
The whole theory is that city govern
ments need the guardianship of bureaucratic
boards.
The other measure would permit any
city to either purchase or build utilities, to
be paid for by the earnings of the utility
1t could be used only when and if private
capital should be enlisted for this purpose,
ready to take chance on the earnings.
Opposition by the utilities suggests
fear that many investors would prefer to
risk their money with publicly owned plants
than trust their dollars to the huge fnan-
cial structures of holding companies, whose
intricacies disguise the real extent of their
responsibility.
1t would mean that cities could take over
plants, when present owners go bankrupt,
as some have, or in the event of refusal to
sell, could build their own plants.
1t means, in the case of water companies,
that citizens could jointly supply themselves
with a water supply when the price of water
and life became too heavy to be paid.
These measures have the backing of the
organization of mayors and public officials
who know where the real tax burden is hid
denim the private levies by private capital
upon the public for common necessities.
Any member Of the legislature who votes
to postpone this relief merely warns his con-
stituency of his own unftness for legisla-
tive office
The bright spot in the situation is the
vigorous organization of public officials who
are pledged to the defeat of utility-minded
members in the next legislature, without re-
gard to party affiliations.

MightieSt Current

KEETEOROLOGISTS and ocean,
1V1 ographers have discovered
that there is an inter- acting system
of winds and ocean currents.
Both, undoubtedly, owe their
origin to the unequal warming of
the air in different ATTITUDES by the
sun, and the rotation of the earth.
The Gulf Stream, biggest of all
the ocean currents, has been de-
scribed by one scientist as "the
grandest and most mighty terrestrial
phenomenon"
The Gulf Stream can be thought
of as a river in the sea-" but in
this connection it must be re-
membered that in the nature Of
things it can not have such sharp
and distinct boundaries as dis
tinguish a river on land.
The stream comes out of the Gulf
of Mexico and flows through the
Straits of Florida. At this point,
according to DR.. H. A. Mariner of
the United States coast and
Geodetic survey, it resembles
gigantic river, for it is forty miles
wide, 1000 feet deep, and flows
with a surface velocity of four miles
an hour.
This means that each hour the
Gulf Stream sends through the
Straits of Florida into the sea about
100000, 100000 tons Of water.
This is about 1000 times more
water than is poured into the Gulf
of Mexico each hour by the Mis-
sissippi River, a river which drains
about 40 per cent of the area of the
United States.
The water of the Gulf Stream has
a beautiful, transparent, blue color.
Its surface temperature is about 80
degrees. The temperature falls off
rapidly, however, below the surface.
Leaving the Straits of Florida, the
stream flows due north for about
1000 miles. 1t is then joined by
the Antilles current and continues
its flow in a northeasterly direction
along the south Atlantic states.
Next it swings across the At
lantic to the shores of northwestern
Europe. 1t disappears into the
Arctic seas. .e"

INFANT mortality rates signify
Il the number of deaths of infants
at birth, and from birth to year
of age.
There are certain principles con-
cerned in evaluating these rates.
These principles indicate the means
of attack against the disease that
caused the deaths and also the
means of lowering these death rates.
AS is pointed out in a recent bull
letin of the health organization of
the League of Nations, infancy must
be protected against three main
dangers.
First, difficulties that exist at
birth; second, disturbances related
to diet and digestion; and third, in
fectious disease.

BOrah in Session

British Journalist, visiting Washington. remarked

American politics Other senators scatter to their
states to attend to their reelection if it is a cam,
palgn year or to help colleagues face the voters some
take the between months for vacation; some 90 inn

But Borah delays his departure. There is some
thng that has to be done and after that something
eSe Presently congress convenes again and like as
not finds Borah right where it left him.
He has not been idle. He has been concerning
himself with one problem or another and Offering his
views thereon. He has been holding regular nress
conferences, after the manner of the White House
occupant, save that they have been little oftener
and he has spoken little more freely.
Also, they have been much less formal: the cor
respondents do not stand in respectful senoicircIe
but take all the chairs that are available and feel
free to sit on any desk space not otherwise used
And they don't hand in written questions to he an
Swered or not as the great man may choose.

It's an interesting role that Borah plays Ere

But he swung the same weight before he took that

And the biggest element in it is uncertainty The
other party leaders never know what Borah is going
to say or do. Some assert cyncaly that he never
does anything-that he just talks but these same
critics are always eager to hear what he says when
he talks.
So the campaign is upon us, with the three out

At the time this Is written we
have unoOnfirmsd reports that an
Oh well has been completed by
Oregon Oh syndicate on Berthe
lOte dome.
Here is q spot where we have
long been expecting q meal
ticket. Soon after Ksvin-sun-
burst came in, Charles EmmOnH,
pioneer geOlogist Of Northern
Montana, went into the Sweet
grass BILLS and located a struc-
ture which he recommended for
development. BE recommended,
so far as we know, only ONE
structure in the sweetgrass Hills.
We have always been among
the followers of Charles Emmons.
He led his followers in Kelvin
Sunburst into some Of the great
est Individual fortunes the state
has known. II was he who took
the leases for the Kalispell-K Kew
in. When the discovery well
came in at Kelvin, we recall, his
geology was all wrong. Every
one, we should have said, but
Charles EmmOns. He stuck stead
lastly to his properties. He kept
saying that no matter how much
oil was found elsewhere, he was
all the more convinced that he
had the best part Of the structure.
The writer had trampled over
the vast sheep pasture now called
Kelvin Sunburst with MEr. EN-
mons, had learned his interpre-
tation Of the geology of the giant
uplift and had learned TO admire
the simplicity of the science Of
geology as interpreted by him.
It seemed strange to us that 9th
or geologists did not share his
pinion Of the field-until the
wells started coming in MILES
away from his holdings.
Emmons waited patiently and
while his other followers may
have been impatient at times, he
was able to keep the properties
together with total investment,
as we recall, Of $1,000. Then
Emmons began farming out
the holdings Of the syndicate 70
operators. Drilling quickly re-
veaIed that there was REASON
for Emm0ns faith. One 40-ac-
re tract which he filed on IS
government permit has yielded
more than q million dollars: a
yield Of $4,000 per acre. One
80-acre tract on which he filed
has made more than TWO MIL
LION dollars worth Of oil. The

all the oil rights, and sold the
land, retaining the oil. We
bought royalty outright on other

II was during the time that
the big wells were popping on the
Emmons properties that we de-
cided to look around and see
how we could 'capitalize this

found that he had approved few
structures for drilling. The on
" one to which be had given
whOle-hearted endorsement was q
structure ia the Sweetgrass Hills
called Berthelote. None knew
much about the sweetgrass Hills
at that time, particularly mem
bers Of our own organization.
We had been told there was no
chance for oil Ia the Sweetgrass
Hills because they are in great
synclinal basin. The writer met
Mr. Enlmons Ia the old Sullivan
hotel at Shelby one night and
tried out this theory on him.
That recommends the area

that the Kills are In q big re-
gional syncline. ut is in great
regional synclines that the great
est oil fields are frequently
found, he said naming over
soma Of the great regional syn
cIines Of the country where oil
pools have been found. Cat Greek,
Montana's wonder light oil field,
was among them.
You won't find 9 place where
there is more WATER than in
the Cat Greek district, he said.
''Cat Creek is . bulge in the
midst Of q great basin filled with
water. The faulting in Cat Greek
prevents the circulation Of water,
and so oil, floating on the water,
is trapped in this fold. AL the
other folds around Cat Greek, you
recall, have produced great vol
umes Of water. Il il reasonable
to expect to find great oil pools
with heavy water pressure be-
hind them in synClinal areas.
We drifted around 70 the sit
uation on Berthelote dome and he
allowed us to read his report on
that structure. he said that he
thought Bears Den was TOO
HIGH and that Berthelote was
ideal in that it was low enough
to have water pressure TO keep
the oil trapped in the high. "
