Can Farmers Afford
Being Under Pick
Sloan Plan?
An Editorial from
Bismarck IN. Dak.) Leader

North Dakotans are becoming
agreed on one thing concerning the
current Pick-Sloan plan for develop
ment of the Missouri Valley Basin
that is that it is not a plan at all
but a conglomeration of projects
that usually conflict with each other.
Even at this late date with con-
struction we'll along on the giant
Garrison dam there is no agreement
as to what priority farmers in North
Dakota will have on the water stored
therein. Will it be used for naviga-
ton or for irrigation? No one
knows how much power will be gen
Grated or what rate will be charged
for it.
The charges that will be loaded on
prospective users of water for irriga-
ton can only be guessed at. 1t is
just about certain that even when
estimates are available the costs will
run much higher than planned. The
amount of land that will be irrigated
is a matter of guess work and may
not run as high as the present prof.
ects anticipate. How many farmers
will accept irrigation is an unknown
quantity. When they became aware
of the terrific costs involved many
of them will prefer to take chance
on dry-land operations.
One of the first irrigation projects
that will get under way in North
Dakota is the Heart river project
near Mandan. Landowners there
have been unable to find out how
much the proposed project is going
to cost them. The only thing they
have found out is that the contract
proposed by the Bureau of Reclama-
ton stacks all the cards in favor of
the Secretary of the Interior and his
agents. The landowner has little to
say about what happens in the pro-
posed irrigation district.
The Hoover report on the Pick
Sloan plan reports that similar prof.
ect in Kansas involve repayment
cost of $263 per acre. 1t has been
estimated that in Nebraska the costs
may run as high as $500 per acre.

benefit from oil found under navig-
able waters because oil royalties
realized are distributed to states for
road building, public education and
reclamation work. Under state con-
troll this benefit would disappear.
Another important consideration
here is the matter of federal super
vision of hydro-electric power install
lations. At the present time the fed
eral government can regulate the
power monopoly to some extent by
requiring private power companies
to take out licenses for power dams
built and maintained on federal-con-
trolled navigable streams. Giving
states control over navigable waters
would throw the whole public power
possibilities into the hands of private
utility monopolies.
Texas and California are bitterly
protesting the federal governments
claim to the tidelands.

LIQUID RESERVES OF FARM
FAMILIES, WAY DOWN

In its survey made at the begin
ming of 1913, the Federal Reserve
found that 83% of the farm families
had no savings accounts, 5796 had
no government bonds, and $50 had
checking accounts of less than $500
or none at all. For all families, city
and country, this survey showed that
500 had no bonds, $50 no savings
accounts, and 61% no checking ac-
counts Federal Reserve Bulletin,

Some time next fall the US. Su-
preme Court will decide whether the
federal government owns the oil-rich
tidelands off the coasts of Texas and
California.
There has been long controversy
as to whether oil comes under the
ownership of states or the federal
government. Oil companies have
lobbied hard for bills to turn the oil
tidelands definitely into the hands of
states. Such a bill was vetoed once
by President Truman. Other bills
are now pending in congress to give
states title to coastal lands.
The federal government claims

right to all land covered by navigable
waters, on constitutional grounds.
Federal jurisdiction includes rights
to minerals and oil. Recent discov-
cry of rich oil deposits under navig-
able water along the coasts has
brought the profits-hungry oil mon
opoly clamoring for turning the lands
over to the states on the plea that
states rights are being violated. Act
ually it is easier to influence state
to give oil companies fav-
orable exploitive rights to such oil
deposits than when the federal gov
eminent is involved.

By LOWNDES MAURY, Butte

! BY LOWNDES MAURY, Butte
The Peoples Voice, the Montana
Labor News, the Western News, are
pioneers. Seven years ago, these
fearless papers branded insurance
as racket. That little fire first
started in Montana, spread to the
ken of Senator O'Mahoney Of Wyo-
ming. He carried the torch to Wash
ington. 1t spread to the US. Sup
rene Court. That court has now
held that insurance is interstate COM
merce; with the implication that the
insurance companies are a pressure
group, too strong to be regulated by
any state, and should be regulated
by congress.
However, Cong. Emanuel Celler,
d., Brooklyn, 27 years in the house)
has seen the light brought from the
only independent press in Montana,
by O'Mahoney. Celler (when speak
ing for his resolution to investigate
the life insurance companies), said:
eve must curb their powers. With
their web of interlocking director
power, and their self-perpetuating di-
rectors and officers, they are able to
formulate financial policy stronger
than the national government ITSELF"
q hope my readers will not make
usual mistake of the Truman Ad-
ministration. 1t does not realize
that a billion is different from a
million. Now billion is 1000 times
a million)
In DUNES International Insur-
ance Reports it appears:
1. A total of rs million policy
holders paid $6,656 million in
premiums to the legal reserve life
insurance companies in 1947-a
sum comparable to what used to
be the ordinary budget of the Uni
ted States government.
2. Income from investments and
properties owned by the companies
with their SILT billion of assets)
