Where Are Building
Materials? Asks
Editor

The shortage of building materials
in the country may be very real but
veterans returning from the war fronts
can only hear and read about 1T with
wry, incredulous smiles. While veter-
ans have been unable to obtain ma
terials for homes, some millions OF
dollars of building materials have
somehow been available to build race
tracks in the east and other places.
No one seems to know just how
priorities were granted for race track
installations, but the materials were
available, some of them even in the
war year 1912, according to most re-
liable sources of information.
Conditions of that kind may not be
laughed off and it is likely that roper
cussions will follow-and they should.
The necessity of people should of
course take precedence over mere
pleasure, but it appears that here
again the power of money has pushed
Justice into the back ground.
Aside from such considerations the
racing industry, If it may be called
that, is quite certainly something the
country could well live without and
most likely whole lot better.
The whole matter was dismissed by
veteran the other day with the re-
mark, There's niger in the BUSH"
somewhere. Perhaps there is and if so,
it's high time efforts were made to
find and remove him.
1t is such miscarriages of justice
that make for rebellious sentiment
among the rank and file of the peo-
pie of these United States of ours and
it calls for prompt summary action

financial, social and legal world in
situations and agencies must be fur
thered, strengthened, and enlarged.
Initiation, Yes, No
On the issue of initiation, which is
the most pressing domestic issue of
today, the senior group again showed
some signs of sidestepping an issue,
as contrasted with a straightforward
plank put forth by the Young Demos.
The senior group went on record
we pledge continuation of the
democratic party's fight to control
initiation and protection of the Ameri-
can standard of living =" In view
of not an inconsiderable number of
the democratic party's senators and
representatives having formed an I'M
holy alliance with the republicans to
destroy the American standard of liv-
| ing and send this country hell bent
into another great depression, this
plank takes on tongue in cheek"
appearance Surely the older group
could have done much better by put
ting down its chips as did the YD's.
The younger groups plank follows:
Initiation will bring only chaos to
the United States and to Montana.
Specific and definite legislative action
must be achieved to reduce the cost
of living and to arrest the inflationary
trend which is now threatening the
economic structure of our nation.
Us Mining Plank
One final plank had to do with the
mining industry, and like most of the
other planks in the platform, is speci-
fic and comprehensive. 1t is:
More liberal procedure in settlement
of contracts with small operators; an
equitable tax policy to encourage de-
velopment of small mines; stream
lining of the premium price plan; adj
ministration of the stockpiling law to
encourage domestic mining and a
price of $1.29 for silver.
All in all, with the exception of the
planks on water resource development
and initiation, the many divergent
groups making up the democratic
party have presented good platform
to Montana voters. This is in strange
contrast to that of the opposition
party, which for the most part en-
phasizes the negative, and offers little
if anything for the people of Montana
to consider.

step toward the specialization of Ameri
can industry solid fact that is moi
to be confused with "socialist-plot'
propaganda.
New MVA Bill
Senator Murray's second bill was
sidetracked last year. But the pro
authority coalition is prepared to lob
new MVA bills into congress year
after year.
In the heat of this combat 1t seems
to have been overlooked that none OF
the plans for the Missouri Valley gives
soil conservation a place comparable
to that given flood control, navigation
power or irrigation. The emphasis
given to huge multiple-purpose dams
by the various planners appalls soil
conservationists. In their view, floods
are mere symptoms of the valleys real
illness, soil erosion. Loosened by care
less farming and overgrazing, the
good earth is being washed into the
rivers and out to sea at frightening
rate If Americas fabulous bread
basket becomes a wasteland through
faulty planning, the quarrels Of today's
special-interest groups will seem petty
indeed.
Erosion can't be cured by massive
doses of concrete poured into main
stem dams. 1t needs careful doctoring
to slow the water runoff and pin down
the topsoil-terracing contour plow-
ing, new grass and trees, hundreds of
thousands of farm ponds and countless
little dams in little brooks.
Missouri Valley farmers themselves,
at popular elections, already have or
ganized some 220 soil conservation
districts, including 100000 farms. How
ever, the actual conservation work
slowly. Really to nail down all the
farm rangeland in the country may
take another so years, the way we're
going.
On the MVA propaganda machine,
soil-conservation goes round and
round, and comes out music. Author
ity enemies give scratchy playbacks
of anti-TVA propaganda, and the
needle gets stuck again and again on
"superstate, superstate, superstate."
Democracy in MVA
There is no doubt that an MVA
would have great powers, affecting
for good or i'll the lives of 100000
people living in an area that is one
sixth of the United States Authority
that is now scattered among a score
of government bureaus towers men,
acingly when heaped up in one enorm-
GUS pile as ii is in the Murray bill
But MVA proponents point out that
in the seven IVA states seven gov
ernors publicly affirm that freedom
reigns, God Bless America and the
Tennessee Valley Authority. IVA
lacks the force essential to super
state. 1t is the creature of congress,
which has amended the IVA Act five
times. On it's face, the authority
system promises more democracy in
stead of less, because authority head
quarters are in the home valley, in
stead of far-off Washington.

Private Power

government enterprise along the lines
Of the Tennessee Valley Authority. In
fact, congress has already authorized
the construction of a government
owned dam and has appropriated So
100000 for preliminary wor.
The peculiar thing, about the story
is that the private utility's application
aroused storm of protest, and that
some of it came from the strangest
sources. For example, the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce is issued a
bitter denunciation
Its secretary. L. S. Moody, says Aug
usta business leaders will fight the
proposal with everything we've got"
Moody added that "only develop
ment of the Savannah river basin by
the United States government will
bring to the people of this area the
maximum benefits to be derived from
this great natural asset"
Think of that coming from a Cham
Der of Commercel One would expect
it from labor union-but not from
union of business men.
The Augusta Herald" splashed edi-
torials over its front page, charging
the private utility with an effort ito
muddy the waters so there may never
be any development on the Savannah
river"
Senator Richard B. Russell, an ex-
IRENE conservative, lines up with the
government ownership crowd, assert
ing "it would be better for the Federal
government to develop the project"
and serving notice he will flight the
electric company's proposal to the
limit"
Senator Walter F. George, Georgia's
other senator, refused to comment,
but suggested that the matter be sub
mitted in referendum of the people
in the area to be affected
If that's done, public ownership will
win.
