SHORT SHOTS
By WILLIAM J. PRIEST,
Livingston

Here is a problem not for first
graders but their mothers. The SEN
ate appropriations committee has de-
leted all funds for government trans
mission lines, even for auxiliary
steam plants. Remember back in
June when Senator Ecton appeared
before the senate appropriations
committee and protested the govern
ment building power plant and
transmission lines from Canyon
Ferry dam, from Hungry Horse to
Anaconda, and Havre to Shelby.
Ecton stated cit embarrassed him to
do this but he had done without cleo
tricity on his farm for 26 years"
Senator Ecton, the Montana Power
has had the exclusive right in Mon
tana for that period and still have.
What makes you think they are not
going to follow their same plan?
These senators on the appropriation
committee should all be removed,
whether democrats or republicans,
and only senators in sympathy with
the Farmers Union and labor union
members elected to replace those
senators who voted to delete the ap-
preparations.
Senator Mcclellan chairman of the
committee wrote me as follows "The
votes in the committee are not by
rule disclosed to the public" Here

paign seeking to confuse and befud-
die the public mind in regard to this
federal power program. This lobby
campaign is heavily financed by the
private utilities, who seek to gain con-
troll of all power produced at govern
ment projects and prevent our towns,
our farmers, our businessmen, and the
general public from getting the adj
vantages of low electric rates.
This action of the senate commit
tee in rejecting appropriations fixed
by the house to carry out the legiti
mate government program is arbi
trary, despotic, and indefensible. The
record of the testimony before the
senate committee shows that four
power companies-the Pacific Gas &
Electric Company, of California; the
Public Service Company of Colorado;
the Idaho Power Company of Idaho;
and the Electric Bond & Share Com
pany of New York, which owns the
Montana Power Company system in
Montana = were represented in the
hearings and arbitrarily demanded
the rejection of all these Montana ap-
preparations called for under the gov
eminent program. They filled the
committee room with their army of
highly paid agents and attorneys.
Their testimony in effect, called for
scuttling of the long established pow
er policies of our country, which have
accomplished so much for industrial
growth and prosperity in many areas
of the nation.
The People 'Never Had a Chance"
These recommendation were ap-
parently received by the senate COM
mittee like military command, de-
spite the fact that several hundred
people from four states travelled
thousands of miles to Washington to
appear as witnesses before the COM
mittee in support of the governments
program The record shows that
these witnesses substantiated in every
respect the rights and needs of their
areas for the power plants and facil-
tiles proposed to be constructed. But,
as Peter Edison in the Washington
News of July 10, 1919, says, "They
never had a chance" These witnesses
the people in the areas
involved, who had been expressly
granted, through acts of Congress,
preference rights under the federal
power program.
In the elections of last November,
he people of the nation very effec-
lively demonstrated the desire of the
majority in regard to these power
projects and transmission lines. These
matters were clear-cut issues in that
election. The platform of the Demo
cratic party stated:
Let us not forget that many who
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-08-05

on the state of Montana a perpetual
power monopoly by the Electric Bond
& Share Company of New York.
This will mean huge profits
drained out of the State of Mon
tana for the benefit of private
power monopoly with headquarters
in New York. This is an injustice
the people of Montana cannot SUI
pinely accept.
AS [ have already stated, all sec
tions of the nation are affected by the
action of the committee in reference
to appropriations called for in their
respective areas. 1t means a sad
ding of complete monopoly of cleo
trio power on the people of the United
States. 1t means that the people will
be denied the benefits of the federal
power development program as out
lined in the various congressional acts
dealing with this subject. 1t is diff
cult to see how anyone can justify
such an abject surrender to the power
monopoly interests.
In the case of the Havre-Shelby
transmission line in Montana, the
obvious effect of the committees
action is to turn over to the private
power utility the control and dis
position of the Fort Peck hydro
electric power, paid for by Amer
lean taxpayers to the tune of $780,
100000. The construction of the
Havre-Shelby transmission line is
the only way that Fort Peck electric
power could be made available to
the farmers of northern Montana.
There is need also for amendments
to provide the necessary funds for the
Yellowtail and Moorhead projects, as
essential to the total Montana pro-
gram. These amendments will be
presented on the floor
The senate committees action on
these power projects and facilities
will have very serious effect on our
state and dangerous repercussions in
the country. 1t will slow down bust
ness and industrial activity. 1t will
discourage investment in those areas,
and will substantially contribute to
unemployment and depression.
If the action of the senate commit
tee is finally approved, Montana will
be compelled to continue as a Wall
Street colony; victim of absentee
ownership, management, and control;
a striking example of what monopoly
and Wall Street big business are do
ing to our country.
These conditions call for a united
stand by the people. We are or
ganizing in the senate for this bat
tie against monopoly and special
privilege. All Montana citizens,
regardless of politics, should join
in publicly demanding a square
deal for our state.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1949-08-05

opposed the federal program of pow
er development and distribution are
no longer with us in this congress.
These transmission lines are abso-
lutely essential to carry power pro-
duced at the federal projects to the
load centers where it can be made
available for the benefit of the people
under priorities established by con-
gress.
The action of the committee affects
practically every part of the nation.
Other states suffered the same gen.
eral treatment In Montana three vi
tally important projects were deleted
from the list:
First: The Kerr-Anaconda trans
mission line, to carry power from the
Hungry Horse government project.
This is conceded in the testimony to
be an indispensable facility. With
out this line we can have no industrial
development. It's rejection turns over
to the Electric Bond & Share Com
pany of New York control of all the
power from the Hungry Horse prof.
ect.
By depriving Montana of this
transmission line, the committee
virtually grants the Electric Bond
& Share Company, which, as say,
owns the Montana Power Com
pany, monopoly OF electric power
in that area.
Second, The Havre-Shelby trans
mission line, an absolutely essential
facility to provide electricity to the
farm areas of northern Montana, was
rejected-this in face of
the fact that the private utility had
consistently refused electric power
service to that area in the past. This
line had been definitely
promised by the government to the
farmers and had received previous
appropriations. The farmers had
made investments in organizing rural
co-operatives and had
gone to considerable expense to Sc
cure this power under the established
policies of the congress. The senate
committee now repudiates those pol
cies and denies these farmers access
to this loW-coSt power produced at a

government-constructed plant. The
effect is to leave the private power
company in control of the power pro-
duced at the Fort Peck federal prof.
ect. and compels the farmers to go
without power unless they are willing
to pay the excessive prices charged by
the private utility.
Third, Canyon Ferry: The out
standing wrong perpetrated by the
committee consists of its prohibition
against the construction of power
plant at Canyon Ferry. This power
plant is an essential part of the Mis-
souri, Basin program.
Without this power plant and the
right to sell the power produced,
the Canyon Ferry Dam cannot be
made reimbursable and therefore
should be completely rejected.
The committee purports to turn
over this dam, constructed with public
funds, to the power company to be
completed as private power project,
with control over the sale of all power
produced for its own account. 1t is
proposed that the private utility will
take over a dam constructed at public
cost of S23,000,000 under a lease
agreement utterly insufficient to
render the total project reimbursable.
1t is, in effect, surrender of public
property to private interests without
full reimbursement. 1t perpetrates a
fraud on the taxpayers of the nation.
This action of the committee would
deprive the people of Montana of the
benefits of low-cost power for indus
trial development and rural electrifi-
cation. Our state must lag behind as
a backward, undeveloped state with a
declining population because the
power utility demands, and the senate
committee grants, monopoly control
of hydro-electric power development
in Montana. 1t denies the people of
Montana rights guaranteed by clear
and definite policies established by
the congress.
Would Enslave Montana People To
Perpetual Power Monopoly
1t is hard to see how the committee
can justify such abject surrender to
the power monopoly interests. The
congress of the United States over
many years by legislation has devel-
oped a clear-cut federal policy, Great
ing priorities and rights intended to
encourage rural identification and in
dustrial growth and prosperity. Here
is a state which, as result of monop-
oily control, has been losing population
for the last 30 years. Now, when it
seeks to reverse these conditions and
take advantage of the national power
policies, it is proposed by this COM
mittee to deny it the necessary appro
priations to carry out its program.
In other words, it proposes to fasten
