some times threatened to shoot
himself.
At Z pm. the Walkers daughter,

She found Mr.. Walker seated on

Mr.. Walker, a District Water

Leading the fight to change the
regulations are two of Washing
tons four independent dairies-
Wakefield and Embassy. Through
newspaper advertisements, they
have charged that the old regu-
lations are fit only for horse -and-
buggy days-that they are ex-
pensive and promote monopolis-
tic control over Washington's milk
supply.
On the other side of the fence,
Is the Milk Producers Association
a cooperative whose 1,70O mem
bers supply IS per cent of the
milk consumed in the Washington
area under the present regula-
tions. In reply to the attacks on
steam sterilization. the associa-
ton claims that it Is still the best
and safest method of insuring
healthful milk. They say that
with steam they can supply the
Washington public with all the
milk 1T can use at prices in line
with other major cities. They
say the milk here is unmatched in
quality by any other major market
area in the world.
The proposed regulations which
will be under consideration by the
Commissioners have the sane
ton of the District Health De-
partment. According to Health
Officer Daniel L. Seckinger, either
method, as long as it is applied
properly. will insure safe milk.
The health officer, however, is less
optimistic about the safety of
milk imported here from other
sections of the country, where
dairies and matchmaking meth
DDS are not subject to the inspec-
ton of his men.
All-Out Attack.
The real issue is an all-out at
tack on the Milk Producers Asso-
citation by the independent dairies.
The fight over milk laws is merely
"a means to an end In a war to
the finish.
The fact is that if the present
regulations are retained, the Pro-
ducers Association will be able to
maintain or extend their control

MIX: EyeYbody,s Problem
Live Steam and Chemicals Involved in Fight
Over Way Milk Should Be Made Safe for D. c.

Producers Association told the
District Commissioners they could
no longer supply enough milk to
meet requirements of the growing
population.
To meet the situation, the Com
missioners allowed the Health De-
partment to issue emergency per-
mits to milk producers outside Of
the Washington area, whose plants
were not subject to District inspec-
ton. Among the regulations
waived was the one calling for
steam sterilization.
This year, the association came
back to the Commissioners and
told them that the supply emerg-
ency was over. There was now,
they said an adequate supply of
local milk to met all the citys
needs. The Commissioners agreed
to reimpose the old regulations on
June 80.
The decision. however, drew
vehement protest from Washing
tons independent dairies. The
group, which did not get its milk
from the association, relied on
outside supplies. They could not
get enough milk from non-as-
sociation local farms, whose
standards met the old District
specifications. they said. Steam
sterilization was the crux of their
complaint.
The Commissioners agreed not
to lower the boom until August
30. In the meantime they called
the hearing tomorrow on pro-
posals including one to change the
old requirements to allow chlor-
Inc sterilization as an alternative
to steam.
Two Bills Offered.
AT the same time, two bills
have been introduced into Con-
gress which would remove the
inspection provisions of the pres
ent law and let any milk into the
District which conforms to stand
ards set up by the Public Health
Service. Public hearings on them
will be held by a House District
health subcommittee Wednesday
and Thursday.

THAT something that comes from
such a placid animal as a COW
and ends up in the bellies of babies
can stir up such an awful row."
Bombarded with propaganda
and prodded from all directions
with appeals for action, the aver
age Washington milk-drinker is
inclined to second the motion. He
feels that he faces some sort of
crisis that may affect his supply
of basic food. But ax-grinding
emotional war whoops and con-
siderable malarkey have confused
the issues.
This is not written with the in
tention of telling anybody which
way he ought to jump. 1t is the
first of series of articles which
will attempt to explain what the
crisis is, what lies behind the
shouting and what the average
milk-consumer is asked to choose
between, according to his interests
and prejudices.
The struggle, at present, centers
on question of health regula-
tions. Tomorrow at the District
Building. the three commissioners
will hold hearing on a proposal
to change the rules for dairy
farms which have insured a safe
milk supply for Washington.
Drawn Up in 1925. !.
Those regulations were drawn
up in 1925, based on an act of
Congress. Among their provisions
is one that makes it necessary for
the District Health Department to
inspect all farms from which
comes milk consumed in the Dis
trict. 1t provides that all milk
cans used at the farms shall be
sterilized with steam.
The reason for the present crisis
goes back to 1912. when Washing

capital. 1t was in that year that

Determination to continue work
on a sound tax program was voiced
by members of the Joint Tax Study
Committee meeting in Butte, April
Is, as plans were drafted for ac-

Importance of having revenue meas
ures that raise the money on the

electric energy costs at 5.5 mills when
there is reason to believe the rate to
co-operatives will eventually go much
lower. The Bonneville Power Admins
tratlon is now making power available
for 3.5 mills or nearly 81 per cent
less than the power company offer.
With the completion of Hungry Horse
dam that 3.5 mills power will come
into western Montana. Signing the
contract, REA's will marry them
selves tightly to Montana Power and
shut their patrons off from cheaper
rates in the future.
Furthermore, the contract provides
that the company will furnish no
more than certain maximum amount
of energy to co-ops rather than
assurance of firm power.
REA's Must Propaganda for
Power Company
The rate schedule which is part of
the contract and which has been ac-
cepted by the Public Service Com
mission of Montana, apparently in a
hurry without careful checking, pro-
vides that REA's signing up agree
to carry on Montana Power Company
propaganda against federal govern
ment transmission lines. In other
words the contract is a private
utility barrier against further de-
velopment of public power.
And finally, the contract fore
closes on future building of trans
mission lines by co-operatives them
selves. The rate schedule, accepted
by the Public Service Commission
Of Montana for the people of the
state, says the purpose of the new
rate is "to save each rural electric
cooperative the additional cost that
would result from the building of a
transmission system by any co-opera-
tive" Already rural electric coop

not permit themselves to be too much
swayed by sectional interests.
Like many others in the state really
interested in the furtherance of high
er education, / have long contended
that we have not used the best judg-
ment in establishing the several in
situations which we have that with
our relatively small state population
it was not wise to cater to sectional
interests and establish these various
institutions with duplicating facilities;
that actually better educational SER
vices would be available to our youth,
had development been confined to no
more than two; the University at
Missoula and the State College at
Bozeman. AS it is we have top-heavy
costs of administration.
The argument that these various
institutions make education more cas-
lily available for more young people
may to some extent be true. But
perhaps if an actual desire for higher
education exists in some young man
or woman, he or she would find
some way to secure it despite some
minor obstacle such as greater
distance from the home fireside.
Moreover, it might have the Statutory
effect of discouraging sectional in
terests; broaden, if you please his or
her out look.
We have these institutions and |
suppose we shall continue to carry the
burden of them whether it is wise
to do so or not. However, let me plead
with the people on the Hi-Line to
not ego off half cooked" on the pres
ent issue; to get facts to present to
the people as whole. Sectional in
terests prompting name calling"
does not make an effective appeal to
