Pole Production Is
Stimulated By
READemand

Pole production throughout the
Northwest is being stimulated by the
demand for poles by Rural Electro
fication administration, R. A. Coster,
REA forester reported from his Mis-
soula headquarters last week.
Forester Coster is encouraged with
the reports that the state already has
four new pole-treating plants which
started operations during the past
year. or are now under construction.
The plant in the Hamilton area has
been enlarged and can operate at ca
pacity for an indefinite time as it is
near accessible stands of lodgepole.
Other new preservation-treating plants
under construction are located at
Bozeman, Philipsburg and Libby. Pole
production still exceeds the treating
capacity, however, and current de-
mands exceed both.
Montanas outlook for this new tim
Der industry is encouraging, the for
ester reports, with the states I'M
tapped resources of lodgepole being
recognized for their adaptability.
Heretofore lodgepole was a little-used
species.

It is an American tradition that any
body can join any group or movement
in which he is interested or in which
he may have an interest" 1t is also
an American saying that "he who pays
the fiddler calls the tune"
Both of these healthy American OBJ
.servations were exemplified in Wash
ington last week. F. o. Haigie, secre-
tary-manager of the National Reclama-
ton association, was testifying before
the house irrigation and reclamation
committee. The committee has been
holding open hearings on a bill to fix
rates on power developed at reclama-
ton projects Haigie took the very in
teresting position that his organization
opposed applying interest charges on
power costs of projects toward pay
ing off costs of irrigation features.
The American tradition holds that
Haigie has the right and his associa-
ton has the right to take any position
they may wish on any subject. But
the average American is also real
list He argues something like this:
1t is good business to let an eco
nomic project pay for itself. Private
industry always takes earnings from
one department to cover losses in an
other; in case earnings, however
made, are used to lower average costs.
That is good business That. likewise,
is the procedure of any multiple-pur
pose reclamation or water-control prof.
ect. This is, no doubt, most con-
vincing argument to Fasteners for

Missoula Unions Are
Opposed To
Meters

Missoula Countys Trades and La
Dor Council recently went on record II
vigorous opposition to the spreading
of the parking meter fever" to Mon
tana's Garden City" and by a strong
ly-worded resolution not only ex
pressed their distaste of such nui
sance tax collectors, but also deploret
the laxity of enforcement of city park
ing ordinances.
The council at the same time also
went on record strongly recommend
ing that atomic energy be controlled
by civilian authorities.
The two resolutions follow:
Parking Meter Resolution
Whereas, the city council of Mis-
soula is contemplating entering into
contract with some parking meter
company for the purpose of charging
automobile owners certain fee for
the privilege of parking on the main
streets of Missoula, and
Whereas, such fees would actually
constitute an additional financial
burden upon the wage-earners who
would be compelled to pay sc every
time they parked on the main streets,
thereby increasing the cost of living,
and
Whereas, there are ample city ordi-
nances to limit parking time on said
streets, and
Whereas, there is a lax enforcement
of said ordinances, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Missoula County
Central Trades and Labor Council un-
alterably oppose the installation of
such parking meters, and that it de-
mand that the city enforce its ordi-
nances, and be it further
Resolved, that said resolution be
presented to the city council by com
mittee from this body.
Atomic Energy Resolution
Whereas, the subject of atomic en-
ergy is fundamental in both our ma
tional and international affairs, and
Whereas, the principle of ultimate
civilian control is fundamental in our
government, and
Whereas, it is highly important that
continued and effective research be
carried out in atomic energy, there
fore, be it
Resolved, that the Missoula County
Central Trades and Labor Council go
on record as endorsing an atomic con-
troll bill which provides for civilian
control, permits the maximum pos
sible freedom in research and dissem-
nation of results, keeps control of all
fashionable material in the hands of
the government and forbids the con-
struction of power piles until further
and be it
Further resolved, that copies of this
resolution be sent to our congressman,
TO the labor press, and, with request
for concurrence, to all central bodies
and labor councils of Montana.

This record is not too bad, but we
agree that it is far from good enough.
Cooperation Lacking
2. The reason for less progress than
we should make is due to lack of CO.
operation from all groups who usually
look upon education as sort of nee
essary nuisance, or something that
one must reluctantly support as one
would not be in the good graces of
the community if they did not at least
give word of mouth support to the
project of public education
3. The labor groups, in spite of all
of their resolutions and words in ia
vor of education are not always too
cooperative. Let me quote only two
instances and let it go at that. (a)
National Education association, spon-
sored a conference on education and
postwar problems. ODT restrictions
made it difficult to hold conference,
but we succeeded in bringing to that
conference from the Helena area and
JuC lCoI VI bhC oIcbC iOo lCPl CoCAitd
tive people of So different organiza-
lions and vocations. Among the group
invited were eight labor representa-
tives. They were: William Brockway
Jack Hackman, Stephen Douglas-all
of Helena. James Graham, president
of the Montana Federation, and Perry
Melton, a member of the board of Kali
ispell, were also invited to the con-
ference, Perry Melton being invited
to participate as one of the main re-
porters of that conference. On April
10, we wrote him inviting him to par
ticipate. On the 10th, we wired him,
we received reply by wire as we
requested stating: Hope to partici-
pate in conference. Will wire definite
decision later this week"
However, we heard nothing further
from Mr.. Melton, nor did he appear.
James Graham, president of the
Montana Federation of Labor, was in
the Placer Hotel during most of the
day, but refused to attend any of the
groups.
Messrs. Brockway, Hackman, and
Douglas failed to appear without stat

be unable to do any gainful
work unless food is immediate
ly forthcoming. 1t is to save
these millions, to help them and
their countries get back on their feet,
that our government early this month
adopted program of positive action
which calls for the Cooperation of all
American wheat farmers.
Under this program, wheat farmers
will be asked to LOAN the surplus
wheat stored on the farm to the gov
ernment This plan, which was initi-
ated and developed by M. w. Thatch-
er, GTA general manager, does not
involve any price of wheat. Rather,
the wheat farmer who loans his wheat
to the government will be issued
Wheat Loan Certificate, which can
be converted into cash at any time
between now and March 81. 1916, at
the prevailing market price at the

the development of power at Fort Peck
dam. In other words, power" can be
used to lower costs. Certainly to a
farmer on an irrigation ditch it is a
most important argument
But the reclamation association is
opposed to this kind of good business
| suppose such procedure sounds too
much like an argument for the MVA
Perhaps it looks too much like the
iva in practice. 1t is unquestionably
another example of the phoney and
muddle-headed "regionalism" of the
reclamation people.
Too Much Private Financing
Such logic as Mr.. Haigie demonstrate
ed moved Representative Savage, Dem
ocrat, Washington, to state that he
felt the reclamation association is
getting too much money from pri-
yate corporations, adding: 81 think
that is why you are speaking as you
do" Savage then requested that the
national reclamation association sup
ply the house committe with a list
of its financial contributors. His as
sumption, you see, was that "he who
pays the fiddler calls the tune"
Haigie admitted under questioning
that seven railroads contribute to the
association but he said that such con-
tributions are limited" No contribu-
tions, he held come from power COM
panies.
Well, maybe 1t would be wiser to
wait and see the list The National

by Perry Melton appears TO De
an attempt to discredit my
work and that of the Montana
Education association:
1. When I became secretary of the
Montana Education. association, the
average salary of all educators in
Montana was $1,025 per year. Today,
the average salary of all educators in
the state is slightly over $1,S00; or,
an increase of rs per cent. This is
sufficient to take care of the increased
taxes, the increased cost of living, and
actually increase the purchasing pow
er of our teachers, by some where
between 10 and Is per cent on the
average, using Bureau of Labor sta
tistics figures.

time of relinquishing the certificate
to the government.
| After the wheat has been loaned to
the government it will be shipped as
either wheat or flour to the starving
people in Europe and Asia
The Farmer is Fully Protected
The farmer is to haul his wheat to
the local elevator where he will be
given an United States government
receipt which will show the kind of
wheat, bushels, and grade. This receipt
to be held by the farmer will prove
to be of more value than the wheat
on the farm, because:
l. The farmer can name the date
he chooses to select the price-that
is. ON any day he can say, now is
the day | want my price" The farm
err must notify the designated agent
of the government the day he wishes
to cash in his Wheat Loan certifi-
cate.
2. Insurance, property tax, and spoil
age stop when the farmer turns over
the wheat to the government.
3. The same government wheat
price support is as much back of the
wheat certificate as if the wheat were
still on the farmers farm.
4. If the farmer cashes in his Wheat
Loan certificate during 1916, he will
include that money in his January,
1947, income tax return. If he sells it
during 1947, he will include the mon
ey in his January. 1913, income tax
return.
s. Whatever increase in wheat
prices the government announces will
increase the value of the Wheat Loan
certificate-so long as the farmer
holds it.
6. The minute the wheat farmer
sells his Wheat Loan certificate, he
Is just as through with it as when
ne sells the actual wheat.
T. The farmer has these ADVAN-
FACES after he loans his wheat to
he government:
a. All expenses and care about
wheat stored on the farm stops.
b. The farmer can cash his Wheat
'Sc"h Sci hiiiSdtC at any luluic udISt
if the wheat were still on
the farm, he would have to haul it in
If road conditions permit-if he has
the elevators are not plugged
full of grain.
s. If the farmer does not sell his
Wheat Loan certificate by March 81,
l947, the government will settle with
The farmer, basis the March 81, 1947,
price and will send a check to the
armer because the selling dates ex-
)ire April 1, 1947
3. If the farmer likes to carry wheat
IN the farm, he can refill his bins out
# his 1916 crop.
10. The starving people must be fed
low out of the 1916 wheat-not out
# the 1916 crop.
