Does D'Ewart Favor
Giving Montana
Waters Away?

Asserting that statements made by
Iwoolgrowers convention in Great Falls
make nice reading" Willard Frazer,
Billings Democrat, this week coment-
ed that the eastern district Republi-
can, if he had his way, would forever
foreclose Montana farmers from using
any of the waters of the Big Horn,
Tongue or Yellowstone rivers.
In addition to criticising D'Ewart,
Frazer also voiced the prediction
that it is only matter of time until
Montana woolgrowers will place them
selves solidly behind the Brannan
farm program.
Herewith is Frazer's statement:
Two things of rather marked note
came out of the recen Woolgrowers
Convention in Great Falls. The first
that caught my eye, probably the eye
of most Montanans was the attitude
of our sheepmen toward subsidies
on wool. We of the Democratic Party
have long been working on a parity
program that will tend to stabilize
the market on agricultural products,
and it was of interest to us to find
an organization that has a substantial
group among it's members coming to
realize the soundness and benefits to
be derived from such a parity pro-
gram. 1t leads me to predict that it
is merely question of time until we
shall see the Montana .Woolgrowers
in convention endorse the benefits of
the Brannan Plan.
The second thing that caught my
eye was the Washington-written state
ment of the Republican Congressman
from Eastern Montana-who by the
way is a wealthy cattleman. Zone
wonders how he got into a sheep
mans meeting without sidearms). His
statement that the states should hand
lie their own waters, and be the sole
judge as to use of the states waters
makes nice reading, but it will not
stand sensible examination. Now let
us carry it to its logical conclusion
as it effects Montana-especSa
Southeastern Montana. The Big Horn
(on which we will construct Yellow
tail Dam, if and when we can get rid
of our Republican Congressman, and
his opposition to that damn Powder,
Tongue and Yellowstone rivers, all
rise in Wyoming. If our Republican
Congressman has his way, Wyoming
could use all the water of these riv-
ers, and vast irrigated farm lands
of Southeastern Montana could, and
would go back to grazing areas, he
as a cattleman so obviously thinks
they should.
One wonders just who the Repub-
lican Congressman is working for, and
if he has ever sat down and looked at
a topographic map of Montana.

Montana-Dakota Has Enough Cas-

| In his lengthy croSS-eXaminatiOn,
Judge Erickson brought out that the
Worland gas delivered at Baker was
to cost % cents per Gu. fit. as COM
pared to present cost of 9 cents. He
asked Mr.. Gamble if the Montana
Dakota Utilities Company in its at
tempt to get more gas supplies had
ever offered any Montana producer
price in any way comparable to the
20 cents figure. Mr.. CANDLES reply
was evasive but he was forced to adj
nit that the price actually offered
where there were any purchases did
not exceed 5 cents and that gener-
ely they are paying 3h cents per
cubic foot for the gas which they do
purchase.
Some attention was given to the
fact that other producers had gas
available to serve the industries not
now served by Montana-Dakota Util-
tiles. 1t was brought out that though
by law pipeline companies whose lines
crossed public lands are common car
riers and must accept gas for trans
portation for others, that Montana
Dakota Utilities Company has con-
sistently refused to fix rates and ac-
cept gas for anyone else. Recent de-
cisions of the Circuit Court of APP
peals and the Federal Power Commits
sion have required the Montana Da-
kota Utilities Company to fix a reas-
enable rate and to accept the gas
of the Mondakota Gas Company and
others. Gamble stated flatly that even
though they had exclusive franchises
to serve towns and an obligation to
see that industries get gas that the
company had no interest in seeing
that the untitled demand they them
selves were not filling be met by the
transportation of gas for others.
At the conclusion of the hearing
at Miles City the parties were given
until November 10th to file briefs
and it was suggested that oral argu-
clent before the full commission might
be called for in Washington.
No Need for Building Pipeline
The application filed by the Mon
tana-Dakota Utilities Company was
for a Certificate of Convenience and
Necessity, which is a prerequisite to
permission to build the pipeline. OBJ
felt that in view of the test
imony showing an ample supply to
meet all public needs for twenty
five years that the company's own
exhibit showed affirmatively that
there was no necessity of the con-
struction of a line which would so
increase the cost of gas
to Montana consumers.
Questions by attorneys for the con-
sumers as to what use could be made |
IF surplus gas brought in by the new i
pipeline if it were built indicated !
4 belief on their part that the real
purpose Of the Montana-Dakota Util-
ties Company in building the new
pipeline was to create a surplus sit
1ation SO that in few years it could
apply for permit to extend the line
20 Fargo, North Dakota with the pres.
ent consumers footing the bill for the
of a line from Worland
20 Baker.

WHO WILL Manage THE Water?

latter's plans for soil and forest con-
servation. Now they are subjected
to third major strain. Who shall de-
eide what nse is made of the water
of the Missouri River system after
it is impounded in reservoirs behind
dams? For what purposes and at what
times and in what amounts shall it
be released?
No one agency has the power to
control that water or to regulate it.
Sooner or later we are going to be up
against the question of administer
ing or regulating the flow of water.
and policing it for the people who are
going to use it. This is a major prob
lem The question will be what sort
OF organization to have for regulation
OF the water, what authority, and how
TO get the best management"
That statement did not come from
an MVA proponent, from an oppon-
emit OF the Interagency arrangement.
though it well might have, for sell
dom has more severe or more truth
1ul Indictment been leveled at that
makeshift. They are the words of the
chairman of the Interagency commit
tee and co-author of Interagencv's
Pick-Sloan "plan," w. G. Sloan of the
Bureau of Reclamation.
After five years of pretending that
Plck-SIoan and the Interagency
committee could and would manage
the waters of the Missouri, the Pick
Steamers have finally got around to
admitting that they can't. After five
years of asserting that it's all very
slmple-all you have to do is to let
the Army Engineers manage the
main stream and the Reclamation
Bureau manage the tributaries
comes confession that it can't he
done that way.
80 the Pick-Sloaners not only don't
know how much water they will have
to make their plans work; thew have
no idea, five years after thew started
spending billions on this DEVELOPMENT
OF an entire region, who is to decide
about appointments and releases of
Whatever they do have. These are
TWO things that should be among the
very first decided-how much Won
have got to do with, and who is 90
ing to do it. IVA made decisions in
that order, which is one reason wbv
it is so successful. The Pick-Sloaners
are trying to do it backward. which
IS one reason why they are so unsuc-
cessful.
In view of all these plain facts. how
can Senator Morse say that giving
a regional development single adj
ministrative head-which is all. fun
damentally, the MVA and eva are
intended to do-would be placing the
region in "straitjacket?" And how
could anybody defend what is going
on as "co-ordinated," or even CO.
herent, when Mr.. Sloan himself adj
mits there is no one who can make
some of the most important decisions
that will have to be made?

STEEL STOCKHOLDER
BACKS UNION FIGHT

James W. Gerard, former ambas-
sador to Germany who says his fam
lily holds more US Steel shares than
the combined stock of the board of
directors, last week raped the giant
firm for it's "disservice to the en-
ployes, the shareholders and the coun-
try"
In demanding prompt settlement
of the strike on the unions terms,
the financier pointed out what labor
has been emphasizing since the dis
pute began: that every US Steel ex-
ecutive is eligible for a pension which
would, according to Gerard, dwarf
completely any average workers pen
sion
Calling the fact-finders' plan for
10 cent hourly company-financed
pension and insurance plan ga mod
est concession to labor" the exam
bassador stated:
81 am convinced that US SteePs
failure to accept the presidents COM
mission and thus avert the present
tieup of the steel industry is dis
service to the employees, the share
holders and the country"
Company-paid pension plans are
not revolutionary" Gerard said.
Meanwhile, the nations press contin-
ued to turn its back on such facts and
editorially blasted the union.-Sioux

2. Make sure your costume is
not so long it is a tripping hazard.
Bedsheets are especially bad.
3. Choose a mask that permits
