Public Versus Private Power

By GUS NORWOOD, Executive Secretary
Northwest Public Power Association, Vancouver, Wn
During the August 1926 senate debate on
federal transmission lines much ado was
made by private power companies about their
inability to compete with their sovereign.
They pleaded for live-and-let-live policy.
During the past five years the Idaho
Power Co. killed three REA co-operatives by
virtue of its monopoly of Bureau of Reclama-
ton power in southern Idaho This was not
a live-and-let-live policy. The latest victim
was the Malheur Electric Cooperative at
Vale, Oregon, which ended it's 10-year strug-
gle in June 1919 because the Idaho Power
Co. dubbed it to death with high wholesale
power rate
The Montana Power Co. in like manner
buys Fort Peck power at 2112 mills and sells
to Montana REA co-operatives at 9 mills
Furthermore, that company refuses to make
sufficient power available to the REA coop
eratives for serving industrial load
The Vigilante Electric Cooperative at
Dillon, Montana, recently was denied energy
to serve new mine.
Ninety percent of the Montana Power Co.
is owned by the American Power & Light
Co., an old subsidiary of Electric Bond &
Share. A. P. & L. continues to delay disso-

What Does the Farmer and the Laborer
Have In Common?

interests will be forced to serve the
community interests by the united
action of farmers and laborers.
There is no use for them to spend
millions of tax-free advertising dol
lars to attack leaders in the farm
and labor movements; the farmers
and the workers have common sense
and they will save free enterprise
and the community interest.
Any economist and every thinking
man can see that if the farmers do
not have an income that is equitable
and on a parity with the income of
other groups in our economy, we
won't have prosperous nation be-
cause the farm group uses manufac-
tured goods in a higher proportion
than any other group in our society.
The worker in their turn use more
farm products and fibres than any
other group in our society. Now, if
these two groups in our economy are
earning their full share of our ma
tional wealth, we will be a prosper
Gus nation; in fact, the only time our
nation has been prosperous and has
had full employment is when the
farmers and the workers have parity
income. All other groups in society
have their being and reason for ex-
istence because they serve farmers
and workers; farmers and workers
are therefore the bosses in our eco
nomy and we must serve them. 1t
behooves the monopoly interests who
think they are the bosses to hire
columnists and public relations men
who should serve the best interests
of the community by telling, the truth
about the farmers and workers.
Farmers and workers, along with
their organizations work together in
co-operatives, the balance wheel of
our economy and life saver of free
enterprise.
If we are to have a prosperous
nation, it will be necessary to have
scientific look at our monetary
and credit system, which is one big
cause which keeps the farmer and
worker at disadvantage in our
economy. The reason we have farm
plans and Brannan plans is the fact
that our monetary system does not
work in an equitable manner for all
groups. Give the people the facts
and they will think out the right
answers, in the American Way.

Should We Educate Men For Political

About his vote for the un-Ameri-
can, labor-baiting Mundt-Nixon bill,
Mr.. Mansfield is already we'll educat-
ed He will never do a stunt like
that again.
| wonder if Mr.. Mansfield is ac-
quent with international events hap
pening right in top circles in Wash
ington. The day after Mr.. Truman
announcement that Russia had the
atom bomb, the administration, while
still holding on to the Marshall Plan
and Atlantic Pact to keep markets
for munition makers and jobs for
Brass Hats, confessed that as de-
tense against Russia, both were use
less.
On that day, the Department of
Commerce released for shipment to
Russia $500 thousand worth of oil
drilling machinery. Of course, this
was sensible, to deal direct. For years
the Soviets have been getting thru
French and other sources, American
machinery, and both ourselves and
the Russians were paying black mar
ket commissions. Wake up Mike !!
Teachers always meet immature
minds. The electorate of Montana
consists of alert grown-ups. If you
aspire to be senator, your best cam
paign plan is to show that you can
look forward. If you can demon
strate this, you may get there. The
entire world is in flux.
Foresight makes statesmen. With
the radio, we all have pretty accur-
ate hindsight.

lar to the EASTMAN case. Former
board refused to rehire, and the I'M
| ions took over. Unions in Dillon,
Helena and Anaconda, as well as 9TH
err Montana cities, might think this
over.
Why in the world does William
Green, AFL president, think the CLIO
must merge with the AFL, or fore
go political cooperation? This is
curdled thinking. We see political
unity in our rail brotherhoods (of
which l am still an up-to-date men,
ber). The Conductors, Trainmen,
Engineers, Firemen, Machinists, Boil
ermakers-and dozen other unions,
without merging or affiliation with
either AFL or CLIO. The rank and
file can see no reason why about
unity cannot be had on the political
! field-of all unions regardless of af-
filiation. We all know we gain or
lose more on the political field in six
months than we can gain on the in
dustrial front in twenty years, there
fore political unity is mandatory.
Doctors in Georgetown university
and Walter Reid hospital announce
an "antibiotic" drug called bacitracin
in new ointment for treatment of
most cases of skin diseases including
impetigo infections. This is of great
interest to all mothers as most chill
dren get impetigo infection one time
OF another.
Remember Teapot Dome scandal.
Secretary Fall convicted for receiv-
ing from oil magnate Doheny $780,
900 and went to Jail but Doheny was
acquitted of giving Secretary Fall
the money. This week Doheny's
widow sold her interest in 72 Cali
fornia oil wells for 35 million, 500
thousand bucks.
Per capita debt for each person
in the United States is $1,694.35;
Canada $1,209.80; France $505.77;
Italy $129.06; Turkey $26.49; Greece
$25.57. Remember when we went
to Sunday School and they asked
us to bring pennies to feed the starv-
ing Armenians. Now it is billions.

FREIGHT RATES ARE UP
ANOTHER FOUR PER CENT

Since 1948 farm prices and income
have dropped quite a bit, but the
freight the farmer pays keeps going
higher and higher.
The latest increase in rail freight
rates amounts to about per
cent hike, which means a total
boost in freight charges since 1916
of 81 per cent.
This adds millions of dollars to the
farmers shipping bill at time when
his income is steadily falling.

proven just as silly plan as the Chi
nese rocking we got.
Second lesson: The Russian atom
bomb shot every nation out of the
Atlantic Pact, except Canada and
the United States. A top American
general in Europe said 18 months
ago that Soviet armies could march
to the Pyrennes in six weeks, and
through Spain and Portugal shortly
thereafter, if Russia wanted to do SO,
but there was no sign that she desir-
ed to do it.
1t is Pentagon folly to expect
Frenchmen to fight such force to
help us, if our war mongers provoke
a Russian War. The Atlantic Pact
to France, Britain, Italy, means how
much money can they get from
Uncle Sap. When he quits send
ing money, they will all quit the pact.
For Western Europe it is a "confi-
dence game. We are the suckers.
Barney Baruch used to be a clever
gambler. There is a better show of
getting something back by giving
Barney STA billion to play for US at
Monte Carlo, than dump it into arm
ing Europe against Russia.
Third lesson: We should with
draw our occupation forces from
Germany and Japan. The holding of
Japan is costing us $500 million the
year. We think that we have made
the Japanese friendly; that they are
our outpost against Communism.
That idea of ours shows ignorance of
human nature. They are just as hos
tile to us as we would be to them if
Cincinnati and Norfolk had been raw
aged by atom bombs and japanese
general were running the United
States. And if the Communists off
cred to help drive Americans out of
Japan, they would be welcomed by
the Japanese. Our troops should be
brought out of Germany. The Rus
SLAMS laughed at our spending $500
million on the airlift to feed DIETER
than million Americans are fed
people that hate us as sincerely as
the Japanese do.
Fourth lesson: About the Valley
Authorities. Even since Herbert
Hoover has branded the plan of con-
trolling the rivers by two bureaus
Reclamation and Army Engineers, as
wasteful and often futile, Mr.. D.
Ewart is, of course, still incurably
insensate on that question, but Mr..
Mansfield rises to the point of being
only problem child" in the politi-
cal school. He may yet learn. He
has been sitting on the fence about
the MVA four years. During this
time Senator Murray has waged
politically hazardous, but fearless,
persistent fight for sensible river de-
velopment. The tremendous major
ity for Murray last November against
some hundreds of thousand dollars
spent for his opponent should con-
vince Mr.. Mansfield that it is now
safe for him to get off of the fence
and become an eleventh hour worker
in the Vineyard of the Lord, Who
careth for the humble. Are you for
or against MVA MIR. Mansfield?
There is equal safety, Mr.. Mans
field, about active support for the
MURRAY medical bill.

SHORT SHOTS
By WILLIAM J. PRIEST

Poplar Bluff, MO.-HOSp1talS are
depressing, expensive, especially if
it rains every few hours as it does in
southern Missouri, while, last Janu-
airy in Nebraska it showed all the
time. l am more of booster than
ever for national health plan.
Our public schools and fire depart
ments and city water works are all in
one sense co-operatives. Did you
know that under the pressure of the
NTEA, the federal government has
disclosed that farmer coop member
ships in Minnesota scared to a high
of 100000 from $4,000. This is
more than three times the number
of farms in Minnesota. Total dollar
volume for 1947-48 marketing sea-
son was $771 millions. This exceed
ed California co-ops' figures by 500
million. In Minnesota, in otherwords,
every farmer belongs to at least
three co-ops.
The MVA fight in the Missouri val
ley is being intensified in southern
Missouri, even on little dams that
only cover 1900 acres. Hearings be-
ing held in Arkansas, October II by
the Army Engineers to hear those in
favor, and the opposition. The ma
jority of the residents are all for
dam that will impound the water and
create a lake, bringing in tourists
for fishing, boating, etc, which rev.
enue means to Missouri what the
tourists mean to Montana. The OPP
position stresses the loss Of taxes
from 1900 acres of barren farm land
and swamps.
England and Wales reports a sur
plus of women 2,308,000 to be exact
Do they come in under displaced per-
sons act? If so a girl asks when is
the next leap year?
Mister Rancher if you don't have
or telephones, don't worry
you are only one of two million farm
families without them. There is 80
million dollars less for REA to loan
than last year. Fewer farm families
have telephones today than in 1920.
Only 40 per cent have any telephone
service at all and only one per cent
have reliable service. Senator Ecton
opposed any government funds being
used in Montana for transmission
lines for cheap power so you could
use it for electric pumps, etc, and he
IS followed by Rep. D'Ewart. Both
are for the Taft-Hartley act. Any

ests is also adverse to the interests |

The unions of 0glesby, ILL.,, led by

PUBLIC HAS REASON FOR
ALARM OVER COST OF
CROP SUPPORT

Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
warns farmers that Taxpayers are
justifiably alarmed at the money they
are spending to take perishables off
the market"
In the interests of national pros
perity, farm price supports for per-
ishable foods must not be aban-
doned, he said, but the method of
support must be changed.
Taxpayers recognize the need of
farm price supports, but they don't
see much point in buying perishables
for uneconomic uses"
Creates Scarcity
Brannan said that "last year tax
payers bought one bushel for every
three produced and got no good out
of them.
eve now have in storage 2O3
million dozen eggs in dried form.
We have also in dried form IT'S
million gallons of skim milk. We
have nearly SIS million pounds of
butter and 2,25O,O0O pounds of
cheese"

Certain monopoly interests in our
country would have us believe that
the organized farmer and organized
laborer have nothing in common; this
| is the old game of dividing your GUS
toners so they cannot get together
and purchase in one group at lower
prices. These monopoly interests
which are named in a recent govern
ment investigation even get column
lists and public relations men to
spread this false idea that the farmer
and the worker have nothing in COM
mon with which to unite for common
action either politically or econom-
ically.
The very fact that these interests
see danger to themselves is a good
sign that the farmers and workers
are on the right track in working to-
gether economically and politically.
By working together the workers and
farmers have bought their supplies
cheaper; each has raised his plane
of living by controlling cost of manu-
featured goods.
The farmers and workers do have
much in common; they work together
in their co-operatives as is proven
in New York, Illinois, Ohio, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota. The monopoly
