House Of Representatives These
and other election returns cannot
be discounted nor distorted. The
great majority of people in the Mis-
souri, Valley want MVA.
Voters Have Rejected Dim-Outs
In concluding it's statement, the
committee emphasized:
The American voters have re-
iected election dim-outs, half
measures, scarcity economics, and
scarcity planning and engineering.
The Missouri Valley can be great
expanding area within the United
States, with increased opportuni-
ties in agriculture, new industries,
new employment, and richer lives
for all its residents. Electric dim
outs must be ended, and can be
only with autonomous MVA based
on the IVA pattern.
Editors Note: Please do not hold
lightly the need for funds for this
drive to put MVA over the top. AL
though top notch federal and private
engineers now agree the Pick-Sloan
plan is economically unsound, and
unfeasible from an engineering
standpoint, the power trust, as it
fights desperately to save it's highly
profitable monopoly, will play every
card it has to defeat MVA. The
electric combine realizes that estab-
lishment of MVA will seal the death
warrant of Wall Streets most prof
liable "baby".
Please send your contributions in
NOW so that the fight to make MVA
a reality can go forward at full
speed-upon it's success hinges not
alone the continued prosperity of
our valley-it's a "must" if our val
ley, its water, its soil, and other re-
sources are to be utilized for the
greatest benefit of all the people of
the nation. Headquarters of Mon
tana MVA office can be reached by
writing to Box 729, Helena, Mont.

lOf the conference were &C
credited delegates from Mon
tana Farmers Union, the CIO
Industrial Union Council, sew
eral AFL central labor and
building trades councils, rail
brotherhoodS, and veterans or
CARNATIONS.
To make certain that the civil lib
critics of Montana people will be Wig
ilantly guarded at all times against
all steps aimed at curtailing free
dom of speech and other basic rights,
the conference also gave unanimous
approval to the setting up of state
wide Civil Liberties Committee. 1t
is planned that as soon as the state
organization can be perfected, that
chapters of this committee will be
set up in the various counties of
the state.
Contents Of the resolution setting
up machinery for a civil liberties
committee follows:
"Be 1t Resolved, That all men of
good faith and of willingness to
fight for the retention of democratic
who are among the dele
gates here assembled, shall work for
the establishment of a broad Mon
tana committee to defend our civil
rights.
eve recommend that a committee
be set up here with power to en-
large itself, looking for establish
ment of county committees; and in
view of the fact that this confer
ence has already adopted resolu-
ton condemning any activity against
anyone, causing him to be accused of
being un-American; therefore this
recommends that a sim
liar committee be organized in every

river for both the sche, : ow prof.
ected They would w ; irrigation
possibilities. They Z develop
only 80 per cent of ok easonable
minimum of desperately-needed cleo
trio power. They do not embody
programs for conservation and for
development of land, mineral, recre-
ational, human and other resources.
They would dim out the Missouri
valleys future"
Speaking Of the mandate" given
by the people of the basin for an
MVA the committee further stated:
The people of the Missouri valley
have clearly ordered a Missouri Val
ley Administration. On November
2, 1913, they retired many anti
MVA, officials and sent many new
members, strongly in favor of MVA,
to the congress of the United States
in their stead. Montana defeated
the chairman of the governors COM
mittee which has gone along with
the Pick-Sloan schemers. 1t gave
Sen. James E. Murray, the leader of
the MVA movement, it's largest vote
and majority, a deserved vote of
confidence and appreciation, in
which we of other states today
heartily join.
North Dakota retired Robertson
and elected Burdick. Minnesota re-
tired Knutson and Ball, and elected
Marshall and Humphrey. Iowa re
tired Wilson and elected Gillette,
himself once the author of a bill for
Missouri River development. Colo
RADIO retired Rockwell and Cheno-
weth and elected Aspinall and Mar
sails. Missouri elected at least nine
of an MVA to the u. S.

MORE OPPOSITION TO
COMMITTEE

Whereas, We, the American peo-
pie, have ever found it necessary to
defend and protect from the I'M
scrupulous designs of economic and
political autocrats, those fundamen-
tai civil liberties and rights which
devolve upon us as our democratic
heritage and were won for us and
all succeeding posterity by the en-
battled farmers and workers of the
American Revolution, and
Whereas, An historic repetition of
such attacks on the Bill of Rights
which led to the infamous Palmer
Raids of 1920, has for some time
past been taking shape through the
instrument of the Congressional un-
American committee, the unconsti-
tutional actions of Attorney General
Clark and such private groups as
the American Legion leadership I'M
der the domination of monopoly Big
Business, and,
Whereas, We recognize that the
device of "Red and Minority Bait
ing" used by the tools of corporate
business under the guise of need for
external military security, has for
its Interior purpose, the destruction
of free labor unions and democratic
cooperative enterprise, and
Whereas, The decision of the
United States Supreme Court, in
1915, in the case Of Board of Edu-
cation vs. Brunette was eff there is

county of the state with object OF
opposing any act of this kind through
petition or any other means, and to
assist in raising funds.
eve further recommend that the
State Committee be as broad as pos
sible and include formal representa-
ton of as many individuals, and or
organizations that can be commit
ted"
But, though the delegates vigor-
ously indicated they would have
none of such committee, or of a
retrogressive tax, they were equally
enthusiastic in approving the posi-
tive legislative program that had
been drafted by committees during
the course of the day.
Public School System
Considerable emphasis was placed
on the crisis facing Montana schools,
and the need for the legislature TAX
ing positive action to effect rene
dies These included the state must
furnish at least 500 of public school
financing as recommended by Mon
tana Citizen Committee on Educa-
ton following that committees year
long study of the problem Of financ-
ing the public school system. The
conference further recommended
that administration of state-owned
school lands be improved, and that
the legislature enact an improved
teacher tenure law in the interests
of securing and retaining good
teaching staffs.
Equalize Property Taxes
Being very much aware of the
tax burden presently being carried
by real property, the conference rec
