He said his aim in life was To work
toward a time when the nation and
the world offered true freedoms for
all, jobs and comfortable, decent
standards of living for all peoples
a world in which colonial oppression
would be a thing of the past He
mentioned something of what music
means to him, particularly with re-
gard to the folk songs of the human
race, stating that his greatest pleas
ure in singing his own beautiful folk
songs in other lands, was in having
the people of those lands sing their
songs back to him-thereby establish
ing the common bond of music, native
to all men of all races.
Mr.. Robson informed his audience
that he plans to leave his concert
singing in the near future to devote a
major part Of his endeavors toward
building a stronger democratic socie-
ty in America and throughout the
world He indicated that some of
these activities would be i'll the po-
litical field.

To counteract the superstate argu-
ment broader powers are given to the
proposed advisory committee, consist
ing of representative of various fed
eral agencies and residents of the
area.
1t would remain consultive and adj
visory, but it would be required to
pass upon initially, and not after the
fact, MVA's proposed undertakings,
and it would report it's views on
them to the President and congress.
1t would be required to meet at least
twice a year, and could meet oftener,
if it chose.
Whereas the old bill provided that
MVA should give priority to irriga-
ton uses of water in the upper valley
west of the ninety-eighth meridian
the new one imposes a hard and fast
requirement that any use made of wa
tiers arising west of that meridian
must be such as will not conflict with
the rights of those upstream to use of
the water.
Liberal Range for Court Suits
Furthermore the new bill provides
that MVA could be sued in any federal
court in the basin-not only in the
federal district court in which it's
headquarters may be situated, as was
stipulated originally
| Under the former bill an objection
was made that farmer couldn't dam
g creek on his own ground unless
MVA did it for him. The new bill al
lows such small structures.
The new bill specifies that any ex-
penditures for new construction by
MVA must be appropriated by cong
ress, and that it's accounts are to be
audited by the general accounting of
flee, which is responsible to congress.
MVA would still be able, in absence
OF fraud, to go ahead and pay any bill
by the GAO, but there is pro-
vision for referring to an impartial
auditor any disputes between the val
ley agency and GAO.
The impartial auditor would report
10 the President and congress.
One big objection to the former bill
was that MVA was to have drawn up,

Salaries Of Teachers
Have Been Raised
In 10 Big Cities

Chicago 0LNS) = Teachers in Is
major cities are beginning 1947 with
salaries averaging roughly $25 9
month more than they received year
ago while throughout the United
States demands are mounting fol
further teacher pay boosts to meet
increased living costs.
The Municipal Finance Officers AS.
ISOLATION, citing a National Education
Association survey, reports that an
nual teacher pay increases effective
January 1 in these 10 cities range
from at least $3.50 in Cleveland to
1920 in San Francisco, $40 in Toledo
and $45Olin Washington, D. G.
Several big cities recently adopted
"single-salary" schedules in addition
to granting pay raises. The single
salary pay plan put all teachers in the
local system on the same salary lad
der without regard to whether or not
they teach in elementary, junior high,
or high schools. This. plan generally
acts to improve quality of teaching at
the elementary and junior high school
levels.
Philadelphia new single salary
schedule, effective January 1, granted
raises of at least $3.50 to all teachers.
AS in other single-salary scedules,
maximum salaries depend on educa-
tional background of the teacher.
teachers with masters
degrees now may receive a maximum
$4,000 year.
According to the National Educa-
ton Association, teachers salaries
rose 81 per cent between 1889 and
1915, while other employed persons
received wage increases of 70 per
cent

opments patterned after the
highly successful Tennessee
Valley Authority. Correspon-
dent Hanlon writes:
In preparation of the new bill Muir
rays staff made an exhaustive study
of the objections to MVA heard last
year when Senate committees consid-
cred the previous bill. Where changes
could be made without jeopardizing
the essential principle involved, they
have been made.
How Critics Attacked Bill
Prime objections were that MVA
would be "superstate"; that water
rights established under the statutes
of states in the upper valley would be
that MVA would function
without adequate controls by cong
ress; that other agencies were al
ready engaged in the work which
would be assigned to MVA; that crea-
ton of MVA would delay, not hasten
of the valley; that states
would lose tax revenues from land
taken over by MVA; and that MVA
would put the federal government in
the power business.
There were many other objections,
but most have been dealt with in one
fashion or another in the new bill.

ness and Professional Women's club,
the American Association of Univer-

The public dinner, a spontaneous

Smithy MRS Lora Smith, just
ups and leaves us and it came as
a shock and surprise. We had got
ten accustomed to her nobbling
gait on crutches and her difficu
speech due to a partially paralyz-
ed throat. Of course we knew a
Spanish War widow wouldn't be
too young, but her Is years sort
of sneaked up on us. We are glad
the end was so sudden and she was
spared prolonged pain i. there has
been more than enough of that in
the last few years from broken
hip that never got well. She will be
remembered for her peppery dispo-
sition and super generous nature.
On some of the smallest provaca-
lions she would fly hot and be $50
mad; half an hour later she would
be her sharing her last hand full
of peanuts with the object of rec

Too little has been done by th :
Montana state government in pre-
pairing for the construction of the
Hungry Horse dam.
This winter the prime contract
for building the 100 million doll
ar dam itself will be let. Conserv-
alive estimate is that at the time
of peak employment more than
1000 men will be at work.
The Columbia Falls to Bolton
section will have at least 1000 res
idents as compared with its pres
ent 5000 and previous 1900. Other
families will crowd into Kalis-
pell and Whitefish.
Wed like to see Governor Sam
Ford. who has been a supporter of
the Hungry Horse project, visit
this district. There should be con-
ferences as to school facilities,
highways and public health, all
matters of state concern.
The Hungry Horse project both
in its building and then as a great
power producer and water reser-
voir will and already is adding to
the dollars and cents income of
Montana. It has started and will
continue to be an everlasting
source of new jobs, new income,
new wealth and new tax revenue.
Of concern to the elected Off
Gals of this state should be the
problem of schools. The district
has doubled its mill levy from OTIS
to .O355 in the past year, and it
owes S1O0,71O.93 on previous bond
issues. 1t is asking TOO much of
what was a thinly populated dist
riot to support the school building
program that comes with more
than tripled population.
