tiles promoters to begin building py

Everyone knows how deceptive &C,
counting systems may be and how i'm
portant it is that all public utilities
keep their books in accordance with a
clear, honest, unified system, valuable
for comparative purposes. The 1885
Act authorized the Federal Power
Commission to devise and administer
such a system. 1t has been done with
exceedingly valuable results. The
utilities of course abhor it.
So, on June 18th, Cong. John w.
Byrnes, Republican of Wisconsin, in
troduced bill (H r. 3715) to abolish
this function of the Power Commits
sion and leave accounting matters to
the state commissions. If the state
commissions attempt to regulate inter
state companies what a fine crop of
law suits there will be and perchance
no regulation in years.
Not to permit the Republicans all
the glory of turning the clock back,
Democratic Cong. Eugene E. Cox of
Georgia on June 20 introduced H. R.
1918 which would raise havoc with
the Power Commissions authority to
regulate the transmission and sale at
wholesale of energy sent over state
lines.
In other utility fields we have the
Riley bill to mutilate the National
Gas Act of 1886 and the Bulwinkle
bill to exempt railroads from the anti
trust laws.
SO much for the beginning of the
drive to cripple regulation.

on the confirmation of Gordon R
Clapp to succeed Lilienthal as admin
istrator of IVA you will discover ii
was in part sort of dress rehearsal
on the part of several senators who
approved the Mcclellan idea and are
preparing to enact it into law at the
next session if possible.
To Sell Power at the Dam Sites
Sale of Power. Next is the right of
the government to sell at wholesale
power generated at federal dams.
Safe? Again, by no means. The ex-
elusive right to purchase federal pow
er for retail by themselves by rates
fixed by state commissions has been
claimed by the power interests for
years.
In line with that policy Sen. Elmer
Thomas, Democrat of Oklahoma, on
March 21 last introduced S. 972 which
forbids any federal agency ''to con-
struct or acquire transmission lines
except on specific authorization made
therefor by the congress" for each
item, and no agency shall construct
or acquire hydro plants which have
generation of electricity "as their
primary purpose" CLEARLY this last
lays the basis for crop of injunc-
tions.) Excess power must be sold
sat the dam site" or off existing lines
by the Federal Power Commission.
The clear intent is to enable private
utilities to capture the bulk of public
power.
Republican Cong George A. Don
dero of Michigan also agrees with the
power interests and on April IA intro
duced H. R. 3036 which directs that
power at reservoirs controlled by the
War department shall be sold cat the
generating plants by the Secretary of
War under contracts approved by the
Federal Power Commission, thus TAX
ing sales away from the Bureau of
Reclamation as would the Thomas bill.
Further, the chief of engineers shall
build no transmission lines except to
intercOnnect federal plants.
This bill was given long hearings
and very serious consideration by the
Public Works Committee. You will
hear from it next session as it is
backed by the utilities. 1t would, for
one thing, apply to all the dams to be
built by the Corps of Engineers in
the Missouri Valley under the Pick
Sloan plan, as we'll as the Columbia
Valley and all others where unified de-
velopment might be attempted.

BRING MARSHALL PLAN
into U.k. AGENCY,
SAYS PATTON

| Washington = "The Marshall PIar
should be carried out under the direc
ton of the Economic Commission for
Europe" James G. Patton, president
of the National Farmers Union said
in statement offering this as the first
in a seven-point program for Ameri-
can foreign policy.
The ECE offers 'the best hope of
working an integrated European plan
instead of the hodgepodge Of individ-
ual requests by individual nations now
being Jumped together in Paris" Pat
ton said.
other points in Patton's program
were as follows:
2. A change in emphasis by the
World Bank and Monetary Fund so
that they will not place "the service
of securities holders above service to
the people of the world"
8. Congress should double us. con-
tributions to the UN Food G Agricul-
ture Organization.
4. Future us. loans should carry g
provision for scaling the debt accord
ing to the buying power of the dollar.
5. us. controls on exports should
be continued.
6. SO far as possible, the President
should extend whatever aid can be ex-
tended to Europe without congression-
al action.
7. A return to rationing and price
control in this country is imperative
Iy required.

Atomic Energy

ditions wrought by this revolutionary
development, O'Neill points out, may
make it necessary to consider the en-
tire electrical power industry as a
unit-requiring reorganization of our
entire electric power industry on a
national scale as a co-ordinated unit
for maximum efficiency of operation"
That's not welcome idea to the
free enterprise boys = and the last
thing to expect from them as 'con-
sultants" to the government is rec

tractors, pork barrel politicians anC
the power crowd, had demonstrated
it's inefficiency.
Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt like
CTR" and Wilson before him rose to
the occasion. With the hearty sup
port of all progressive Democrats and
Republicans he solved the 12-year old
Muscle Shoals problem" by applying
Goth century methods of engineering,
craftsmanship, management and full
use of natural and human resources to
the whole Tennessee Valley region.
The IVA was thus created.
Note here that Senator Norris last
bitter fight on the IVA bill was over
efforts of certain Democrats and Re-
publicans to exclude the unrestricted
right of the government to build trans
mission lines to market its power and
to leave a door open for the power
companies to horn in and capture the
power. Norris won with the aid of
F. d. The act was signed on May
IS, 1888, and another major forward
step in national policy was taken.
This multi-purpose idea which in
Guided the peoples own electric power
and transmission lines to market it
wholesale was followed in the rest of
federal dams built by the Reclamation
Service or Army Engineers in various
sections of the nation and generally
has brought low electric rates that
have proved a blessing to industry,
commercial houses, homes and farms.
Private utilities have been compelled
to lower their rates but have pros
pered, yet object to competition.
The Rural EIectrification Admins
tration affords another example. 1t
was established because the compa-
MES said they could not and would
not give widespread area service To
day 903 REA co-operatives serving
over 100000 rural consumers are in
operation, charging about one-half the
rates private utilities formerly did Yet
the utilities fought REA by building
rural lines themselves on the REA
pattern and today are serving as many
customers as REA co-operatives. Such
is the effect of public competition.

ATTITUDE OF THE POLITICAL
HIGH COMMANDS IN THE
PRESENT CONGRESS

In this overall picture of established
policies and projects to implement
them, the question comes: what in
1947 are the Republican party leader
ship and it's Democratic allies propos
ing to do about the policies and about
the projects? The answer is clear
Almost as if in answer to an editoria
query of the Electrical World OF
March 20, 1947 'WilI Power Policy
! Changer" the reply in effect was "It
will if we can do it." The method is,
Ihamstring the policy by amending the
statutes and starve the projects by
insufficient appropriations Consider
the follow:
IVA. Is IVA safe? By no means
1t could not have succeeded without
key provisions which progressive Dem
ocrats and Republicans put into the
act, such as giving the Authority the
right to pillow back its SURPRISES from
power sales into minor construction
currently and quickly needed without
going through the long and tortuous
process of getting an appropriation
form congress for each item. Also
the right to select employees without
regard to party politics or politicians
and to have its own merit system
AS is well known, Democratic Sen
ator Mcclellan of Tennessee has tried
to require senate confirmation of each
employee with a salary of $4,000 or
more He has failed thus far but on
May IA last he introduced S. 1877
which, among other things, prohibits
the Authority from undertaking any
new construction or any research or
experimental work unless specifically
authorized by congress to do so and
appropriation made therefore. What
lobbyists and hostile members of con-
gress can do under that procedure is
enough to bring joy to the hearts of
corporation heads who want to see
IVA fail.

Proposal

II. THE DRIVE TO CASH IN
ON PUBLIC POWER

The second major engagement be-
tween Uncle Sam and the power trust
began at the end of World War I over
who should build and operate multi
purpose dams on the Tennessee and
Colorado rivers. This raised the issue
of government operation.
During the 20s a chief power lobby
ist got tipsy one day and boasted
"I represent a ten billion dollar in
dustry and we will not permit the
| government to build those dams. "
! Nevertheless, Republican Senator Hi
ram w. Johnson and Cong Phil Swing,
also a Republican, for seven years
battled for their Boulder Dam bill.
In 1928 President Coolidge and presi-
dental candidate Herbert Hoover.
fearful of losing this Republican state
of California in the coming election,
yielded on the point of public power
and the bill was finally passed and
signed with the reservation that the
private utilities were to get about one
third of the power. You can credit
that victory chiefly to the Los Angeles
Public Power System.
Why Muscle Shoals Was Not Sold
On the Tennessee, Wilson Dam was
under construction in 1920 and would
yield 100000 horsepower of electric
energy. For II years Republican
presidents, Harding, Coolidge and
Hoover, with the aid of whole block
of Democrats, did their best to sell
or lease Muscle Shoals to private en-
terprise. Here both fertilizer and
power were at stake, just as now they
are in the west They were defeated
through six Republican congresses be-
cause under the leadership of such
prominent Republicans as Sen. George
w. Norris and Cong. w. Frank James
of Upper Michigan, aided by progress
sive Democrats like Sen Thomas J.
Walsh of Montana and Robert Crosser.

greed of big business before the ma

Tense
Per contra, two multi-purpose Norris
bills were passed. Coolidge vetoed
the first in 1928 and Hoover the second
in 1881. Both included generation and
sale of government power which was
the sore spot with the then Republican
high command

Auditor On Spot

Continued from Page One)
The particular obstruction to allow
ance of these claims, is said to be Sam
GOA, one of the members of the equal
ization board and an intimate of Cover
nor Ford. 1t now seems that Mr.. Coca
has succeeded in building up the ego
of the Governor to the point where
he flouts the provisions of the state
law in an effort to uphold GoZa's arbi-
trary and unfounded objections to pay
ment of refunds due.
Mr. Goza's contention is that the
only thing that validates a claim for
refunds is the presentation of an 'ori-
ginal'' invoice. The law as it now
stands on the statute books, does not
characterize an invoice as original
or otherwise. The only thing required
is just an invoice. Moreover, the law
provides that the Board of Equaliza-
ton must permit the claimants other
means of validating their claims.
In an opinion issued this year by
Attorney General. Bottomly, he has
held that "where some foundation has
been laid to account for the absence of
the original, it is proper to admit car
bon copies thereof" This opinion, of
course, makes it possible for a claim
ant to validate his claim by presen-
tation of carbon copy of the ''origi-
nal', should he lose the invoice origi-
nally received from the seller :
Evidently the Governor, in disre-
garding the opinion of the states at
torney and issuing the letter to Auditor
Holiness is adopting the executive pat
tern of Hitler; government by edict.
The letter from Governor Ford to
State Auditor Holmes follows:
October 27, 1947
Mr.. John j. Holmes
State Auditor
Helena, Montana
Dear Mr.. Holiness | am advised that
the following gasoline refund claims
have been approved or will be APPROX
ed by the State Board of Equalization
and transmitted to you for the issu-
ance of State warrants, to-wit:
Twin Bridges Public School, Twin
Bridges, Montana
James L Brooks, Somers, Montana.
j. William Smith, Route No. 1, Hard
in, Montana.
Earl Turnbull, Fairfield, Montana.
Lars Mosdal, Rapelje, Montana.
O'Connor Bros, Poplar, Montana.
This is to advise you that each of
these claims is illegal and should not
be paid for the reason that they are
not accompanied by the original in
voice issued by the seller to the pur-
chaser at the time of the sale.
Since these claims and each of them
s illegal, should warrants be issued
thereon, you and your bondsman will
% held liable. Cordially yours,-SAM
J. FORD, Governor.
