SILVER MONEY OF
MEXICO is WORTH
MORE TO HOLDERS

MEXICO CITY-The Bank of Mex
leo last Saturday discontinued issuing
silver money because the new United
States silver price makes a peso worth
27c instead of the normal face value
Of 20c Mexico silver was previously
quoted at 45c an ounce. World de-
mand has forced the price to 711l1c
an ounce
AS consequence several hundred
millions Of silver pesos overnight be-
came worth one-third more than face
value. The silver circulation is about
500 million pesors 600 million dollars)
Part Of this is in banks but the Mexi-
can peasant likes hard money and fl
nancial authorities say the poorer Mex
leans hold the bulk Of the silver.
No decision has been announced but
money experts say the Bank Of Mexico
must reduce the silver in the peso so
it won't pay to melt the money for
the pure silver content.
The Mexican peso now contains u
grams of pure silver worth 27.36c. De
Quoting the cost of melting, shipping
and insurance. there probably would be
a 20 per cent profit in the sale abroad
of the Mexican pesos.

SMELTERMEN;; UNION
QUESTIONS SINCERITY
OF R. R. COMMISSION
AN OPEN LETTER

4
September "a, l945
To the Montana Railroad &
Public Service Commission
Helena Montana
Gentlemen:
At the hearing concluded in Butte
some months ago, the Federal Power
Commission after an exhaustive inves-
tigaton which involved the financial
manipulations of the Montana Power
Company, declared that about $470OO
600 should be wrung out of its book
valuations.
After this hearing the Montana Rail
road and Public Service Commission
ordered the Montana Power Company
to reduce its book valuation by some
I$l9,000000 as of January !, 1887 Just
how the public servants of this state
arrived at this figure is beyond the
average citizens ability to comprehend,
as also is the arbitrary date Of Janu-
ary /, 1887, when in the investigation
by the Federal Power Commission it
showed that the writeup of these book
valuations occurred some 80 years ago
or at the time of the organization Of
the company.
The Montana Public Service Com
mission in its order to the Montana
Power Company to reduce its book
valuation by some 100000 admitted
that this watered valuation has ex-
listed, and has been part of the COM
pany's rate base all these years, and
which represents about 20 per cent of
the valuation on which the rates for
service have been based This of course
means that the consumer, the citizen
of Montana, has been overcharged some
20 per cent not for the past eight years
that you gentlemen of the commission
so reluctantly gave them, but for the
thirty years the Federal Power Com
mission justified in their investigation
The Montana Power Company oper-
ates under state franchise or license
which guarantees, or should guarantee,
public protection against overcharges
by public utilities. The Montana Pub
lie Service Commission seemingly has
been derelict in its duties or functions
by its own admission in its order to the
Montana Power Company to reduce its
book valuation $1o0OO,0OO as of January
l, 1887, which must have shown to them
an overcharge to the consuming public
Of Approximately 20 per cent on the
Montana Power Company's fictitious
rate base as shown by the Federal
Power Commission.
This overcharge to the public has not
been to the benefit Of the state Of Mon
tana, we would rather surnise that it
did go into the pockets of the con
trolling out-of-state companies such as
the American Power and Light and the
Electric Bond and Share who we un-
derstand control the common stock of
the Montana Power Company.
1t is our contention that the Mon
tana Power Company has collected rev.
enues from the citizens of this state
for power and light services on rate
base that has been found fictitious by
the Federal Power Commissioner its
watered book valuations. This has been
'artialy substantiated by the Montana
Power Commission, our own state SER
wants. 1t is therefore the request Of

SOME THINGS WPA
DID FOR AMERICA

WASHINGTON - Now that the
Works Project Administration, once the
biggest show on EARTH has folded up.
brief summary Of its accomplishments
is in order.
Probably the most imposing statistic
is the total WPA experimentation
100000 in round numbers. OF this. S10
lll,l03,SS6 was federal funds. and the
balance came from state and local agen-
cies. The S,500.0OO workers who drew
WPA checks during the agency's eight
years Of existence got considerably less
than half the total amount.
WPA workers did lot of screwy
things to earn their money, but they
also did lot Of good. Much of what
once looked like made work" has been
a distinct help to the nation at total
war. Soil reclamation, flood control.
reforestation, and roads that made T.
100000 board feet of lumber readily
accessible look a lot more important
today than they did a few years ago.
Employees did Just about everything
from hewing the Lewis and Clark high
way out of Rocky mountain granite to
painting post office murals. They built
golf courses and ski jumps. They chs
eled and modelled 16,50O pieces of sculp-
ture They served 1,OOO,0O0,0OO school
lunches, sewed 3750O0,000 garments.
and carried "boolymobile' libraries to
back-country communities.
They presented hundreds of plays, in
cluding a countrywide premiere of Sin
clair Lewis It Can't Happen Here"
They instructed aliens in English and
the fundamentals of citizenship. They
wrote guidebooks, dug $4,000 miles Of
drainage bitches in malarial regions.
renovated 94,000,00O books, built 500
school buildings, 200 hospitals 5000 ath-
letc fields, 8,l00 parks
But even while they were doing all
this, and much more, they also were
working for the Army and Navy, right
from the beginning OF WPA. At time
when war seemed remote, they built
barracks and mess halls and armories
Tor the services. They put I'D barbed
wire, built bomb shelters and erected
sandbag barriers. They built 664OO0
miles OF streets, roads and highways.

Anti Franco Policy Was
Set by Roosevelt

WASHINGTON-FP) - American
policy has not anticipated friendly re-
lations with the regime of Dictator
Francisco Franco of Spain since March,
l945, Undersecretary of State Dean
Acheson revealed Sept 20.
Acheson disclosed that the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt wrote a letter to Amer
lean Ambassador Norman Armour on
his departure for Madrid March 10,
l945, in which Roosevelt said he saw
mo place in the community of ma
tions" for the Franco government, which
he said was based on fascism.
Armour was said to have made it
clear both to Franco and the Spanish
government that the u S. did not an
ticipate friendly relations with the
Franco regime. The Roosevelt letter
expressed hope that the people of Spain
would in time, assume their proper
place in the family of nations.

Sweet Nothings for
the Sweet Tooth

Sweets will be as scarce as over-paid
workers during the coming months. Al
though the amount Of candy purchased
by the armed forces has been greatly re-
duced, civilian supplies will continue
short, mainly because of the sugar
shortage.
Candy manufacturers are limited to
50 per cent Of the amount of sugar they
used in the comparable quarter of l94l.
The industry is now getting 20 per cent
OF the chocolate it used in l941 but
unless manufacturers use bitter choco-
late, their output is governed by their
sugar allowance.
