right, we are on the verge of the big
gest expansion in our history"
l almost forgot about that until the
other day when | opened an envelope
from the Billings office of the bureau
of reclamation. 1t contained a routine
news release. But perusal of the ar
ticle, and consideration of what 1t ac-
utally means, takes it out of the rou-
tine class.
1t becomes one of the hottest pieces
of literature, from the standpoint of
those who have been trying to show
people the connection between the
bureau of reclamation and the private
power lobby, that has come over the
| board
If there be any who are still won
dering why the private power COM
panies prefer the army engineers-rec-
lamation bureau plan of river develop
ment to MVA, this news release from
the bureaus Billings office should
clear their minds, once and for all
In the Bureaus Words =.
Here is what the bureau tells us,
in a few words: 1.-THE MontanaDa-
kota Utilities company is embarked
upon an Expansion program" One of
the companys subsidiaries, the Fidel-
ity Gas company, has obtained a loan
of $612,500 land that amt hay, folksi)
from the REA in Washington. With
that government, money the Fidelity
Gas company will finance 70 per cent
of the cost of power transmission lines
to be built from Fort Peck dam.
When this line is completed, the
bureau proudly reported, the Montana
Dakota Utilities company will be able
to supply electric current to IS REA
co-operatives. In 10 years they expect
to be serving $4,000 farm families.
This is chapter two in the power
trusts attempts to get a strangle-hold
on the power which is being general
ed in Fort Peck dam, and which will
be generated in dams yet to be built.
Last fall the bureau of reclamation
financed, with government money, a
transmission line which feeds into the
Montana-Dakota Utilities network out
of Glendive, Mont
The picture starts to take FORM at
last. The blueprints of the power trust |
are starting to materialize.
Our Money, Their Gravy :.
Do you get the point folks?
Step No. l. The government builds /
a dam with public money at Fort
Peck. The turbines within the dam,
also publicly owned, Great electricity.
Step No. 2: The government builds
lines from Fort Peck to
Glendive to that the network of the
Utilities company can
redistribute the electricity, and charge
a profit on every kilowatt hour of
current that is generated in the gov
dam.
Now another line will be built, fin
anced with government money, and
more people will have access to
more of the power from Fort Peck
but only after they have bought it
through the Montana-Dakota Utilities
or an affiliate.
Does that make sense?
To the stockholders and officials of
he Montana-Dakota Utilities com
)any yes. To the bureau of reclama-
ion, yes. To Governor Aandahl, the
Greater North Dakota association, the .
North Dakota Farm Bureau, yes.
To those who believe that if the :
people pay for dam through taxa
ion, if they pay for transmission lines
through taxation they should be en-

MVA supported the claim that il
was the Murray bill, more than any
thing else, which forced the engi-
neers and the bureau of reclamation
to get together on unified plan for
the basin. Before they could meet,
however. the late President Roosevelt
sent message to congress on Sept
81, 1914, asking for the establishment
of an MVA.
Representatives of the engineers
and bureau met at Omaha Oct. 16

they now describe as a unified plan

titled to the power at LOWEST POS
SIBLE COST, no, no, thousand times
no.
That is what is going on, however,
at the present moment. Right under
our noses. Uncle Sam is furnishing
the money for the biggest expansion
the Montana-Dakota Utilities company
has ever seen; and while he serves
the power trust so faithfully on one
hand, he refuses to enact Missouri
Valley Authority which is the only in
strument capable of getting power into
consumers meters at the lowest cost.
What is happening at Fort Peck is
merely a pattern for what will hap,
pen with the power from Garrison,
from Oahe, and the rest of the power
dams down the Missouri. They are
laying the groundwork now for a pol
icy which will be established through
out the length and breadth of the
valley, UNLESS THE PEOPLE
AWAKEN to what is going on; unless
they rouse themselves from the hum
drum of a comfortable existence long
enough to take political action to
wrest control of our valley from the
politicians who are fronting for the
power trustl
We CAN IF WE WILL. But time
waits for no man, and time is impor-
tant in this gigantic struggle between
the forces of reaction and people!
There isn't any use for MVAers to
say 1--WE told you So" There is still
time, if we act now, in unison, not
only in North Dakota but throughout
OUR river valley mot the power
trusts Valley to clean those from

the only kind of river development |
yet devised by man-authority devel |

Half a Loaf?
The bureau of reclamation, in its
news release, went on to say that
Savings realized through the pur-
chase of Fort Peck power by the util-
tiles company shall be passed on to
the consumers in the form of rate re-
Some reductions have been made,
already, as a sort of goodwill gesture
to people who have paid two prices
for electricity all through the years
until the government built dams.
Or the Whole Loaf?
But the cold fact still remains that
an MVA would provide power at the
bottom Figure, the lowest possible
figure. There would be no overcharge
added to the consumers bill to take
care of that commission for the pri-
vate utilities company. No extra few
mills or few cents on each XVIII for
he power trust.
An MVA will get power to the peo-
pie, from their own dams, without
my extra charges.
An MVA will not finance, with pub
ic monies, an "expansion program"
or the power trust.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is !
precisely why the power trust is fight
ng MVA with everything in the book .

be agricultural levees from Sioux City

The plan called for five multiple
purpose dams and reservoirs on the
Missouri five on the tributaries oil
the Republican river in Nebraska and
Colorado and one each on the Big
Horn river in Wyoming and the Vel
lowstone in Montana.
The II reservoirs previously auth
orized by congress were integrated in
the Pick plan and the cost of construc-
ton was estimated then at $65S,600,.
900.
The plan submitted by the engineers
went beyond flood control and pro-
vided, according to their views, a
framework for utilizing the water re-
sources of the basin for irrigation
power and other purposes.
The bureau of reclamation submit
ted on May 4, 1914, another compre-
hensive plan for development of the
basin.
Based on a five-year study, the bu
reaus plan called for irrigation of
4,760,000 acres of new land, construc-
ton of about 80 multiple-purpose res
eryoirs, Ia power plants with an in
stalled capacity of 723,500 kilowatts
interconnecting transmission lines and
flood control
1t was named the Sloan plan after
w. G. Sloan, under whose supervi-
sion it was prepared. Construction
costs were estimated then at S1,250,-
900, 600
The irrigation interests in the upper
basin opposed the Pick plan, contend
ing that it emphasized flood control
and navigation at the expense of irri-
cation.
Downstream opponents of flood con-
.rol and navigation objected to the
Sloan plan, criticizing it in particular
or the proposed addition of more than
100000 acres of new farm land to |
compete with the farmers of Missouri |
md Kansas.
The dissension resulted in demands |
