Campaign Over-Issues Remain

AS this written wednesday, appears cartan that
Governor Ford has been reelected We may question the
wisdom of the choice of the majority but is made we
accept good citizens of democracy, and by eXer-
cng duties of citizenship, help state by working con-

best interests
Needless say regret the decision of the majority
We opposed Governor Ford for have stated before
We have felt that openly supported by the exploit
ing corporations the state should be the choice of the people
whole The interests of the monopoistic corporations
and the interests of the working people, never be cond
cred parallel.
It is our belief that Governor Ford, perhaps in all
ce or nerhas because of potica expedency has played
the game the Montana Power Company in connection with
the Missouri river development However, also believe
that the time is coming and not far distant when despite
Governor Fords expressed opposition to Missouri Valley
Authority this regional plan of coordnated development
centralized authority will become reality And the
Montana Power Company will longer have monopoly con-
troll of production and distribution of power
Campaign declarations by Governor Ford about great i'm
conditions at Warm Springs do not alter the fact
that adequate housing food and care are not provided Tor he
confined there We willing to concede that
Governor Ford knows that this and that any statements
contrary made by him under stress of crcum
brought about by the campaign In this connection
appeal the people of the state to take cognzance of
the need for correction OF conditions there and demand OF the
legislators of their respective counties that this be done
We condone the fasehoods deliberately repeated
by supporters according
paper reports repeated by during the
campaign This than anything ese made us question
his fitness to govern our great state Repeating
directly false false by implication unworthy of
holding aspiring to that position.
The paramount issue still faces the people of Montana
that is Shall continue to submit corporation domi
political fe True the question would not have
definitely settled by the defeat of Governor Ford and the
the clearly defned much clearly than it had
been before gubernatoral campaign The issue
transcribed all party interests And had Erickson been
cessu would have had the effect of mandate to the
porations to keep out of politics in the state. i
Now the majority of the people have made choice We
feel justified in assuming that there too many who
grasp the full significance of the issues involved now
becomes the obligation of this majority together with the
minority to insist that the issues be resolved for the benefit
of all the people of the state and for our nation

Why did 80 chambers of commerce and busnessmens

How it possible for the Electric Power Board of

There to be two main for this universal
support:
The IVA represents industrial progress puts money

AS an agency of government, the IVA is virtually
nonexsent in the thoughts of the people
Listen distant politicians and would suppose that
people of the Valley get about and

In reality they think about than they do about

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

happened in the Tennessee Valley
and how 1t has happened because
that development will affect your des
TIMES. 1t is important to you partic
ularly because some of the proposals
now under consideration for the de
velopment of the resources of this
your own valley, are designed tc
create an MVA expressly based on
Twas example and experience.
From a reading of the newspapers
and the Congressional Record, it is
plain that the creation of an -MVA is
being discussed on the basis of the
TWAS record. Those who look with
disfayor on an MVA do so largely be-
cause of what they understand TWAS
record and its principles to be- On
the other hand, those who urge the
creation of a regional agency, an
MVA, do so on the basis of THEIR
understanding of TWAS program and
achievements.
| cannot, therefore, even if | would,
ignore my responsibility to try to
make clear just what the TWAS rec
ord is, and what it's underlying pol
icies and practices have been, so the
choice you make of the method of de-
veloping the Missouri Valley can be
in the light of the facts with respect
to the Tennessee Valley and not on
the basis of imagined evils nor of ex-
aggerated merits.
Bear in mind that the IVA was set
up in the first place as an experiment,
as what a businessman or scientist
would call a pilot plant. IVA was
not intended to be merely an aid to
the development of one river valley.
1t was clearly designed to throw the
light of actual experience-not just
talk or theories or promises, but ac-

the failure of the governor to insist upon such provisions
places them in the position of considering the saving of
some money more important than the comfort and well
fare and indeed the lives of the unortunates confined
in the institution. This must not happen again
Old Age Pensions
3. The passage of legislation which will insure our
aged citizens security the declining years
of their lives.
Montana the first state to have "Old Age
Pension law and now finds itself at the bottom of the
list of all states in the amount of pensions paid Our aged
citizens have earned security by their services to society
during their working To grant this security is not
charity it the acknowledgment and payment of debt
owed by society.
Social Security
A. Action by the 1915 legislative assembly in the
form of joint memorial to the for the speedy
enactment of the Murray -Dinge BILL with its
broad provisions for social security.
1t is contention that citizen of this, the
richest country in the world should want for med
ical adequate housing and food Pending the enact
ment of federal legislation assuring this must be the
responsibility of the state to provide for it.
OccupatonaI Diseases
s. That the 1916 legislative assembly, make all
cupationa diseases such sicoss compensate under
the provisions under which the Industrial Accident Board
operates.
The totally inadequate compensation paid by the
Public Welfare to sufferers from scoss is disgrace not
aeviaed by the fact that with customary political chi
canery the Anaconda Copper Mining Company through
its influence succeeded placing the burden of compen-
saon the general public instead of itself where
it obviously belonged.
Department of Labor
g. Legislation for the creation of separate depart
ment of labor with adequate appropriation for efficient
functioning.
Montana is at the bottom of the list of states provd
ing for protection of the interests of its aborng people,
The Liquor Monopoly
7. That the 1916 legislative assembly, make thor
ough investigation of the states liquor monopoly and
make such amendments to the law will provide greater
of busnesske administration of this
the people of the state.
Under an Interpretation of the law by decision of
the majority of the court to which Associate Justices Adar
and Erickson dissented the State Liquor Control Board
is in effect functioning private business using
state funds This condition is not conducive to admins
tration for the good of the general public.
Other Measures
We are living in rapidly changing times We do not
bind ourselves to support of only the outlined
above We shall support any which is designed
to advance the public good.
