Sees Little Hope
For Tex Chance

Although excise tax revision
is likely, there is little present
hope for general overhaul of the
federal tax structure according
to Rep. Wesley A. D'Ewart.
There is general agreement
in Congress that the wartime
excise taxes should be reduced
or repealed" DEwart said this
week. Repeal of these taxes
should stimulate business
enough to produce more income
from direct taxes than the eX-
cises have produced"
"It is apparent however" the
Montana congressman contin-
ued, "that the Presidents tax
message and the attitude of
congressional majority leaders
give us little hope for any real
attack on overall tax problems.
They are determined to contin-
ue the present heavy tax bur-
den in an effort to support in
creased federal spending"

Congressman Asks
Dam be Put
Under Construction

: Representative Wesley A. D.
EWart requested that Yellow
tail dam, central feature of the
Hardin unit, be placed in con-
Struction status in the next fiS-
cal year.
DEwart asked that funds re-
queSted for continuation OF
preliminary activities be placed
in phase A." the construction
category, SO that the develop
ment will not be further de-
layed.
His statement to the Commit
tee on Appropriations follows:
Yellowtail dam on the Big
Horn river in south-central
Montana is the most feasible
and worthwhile major reclama-
ton projct in our state on
/ which construction has not yet
started. The dam would be con-
Structed in the deep canyon OF
the Big Horn river, an area
where no one, lives and no
property values would be des-
troyed.
It would create a reservoir OF
1,116,G00 acre-feet capacity,
| storing water for the irrigation
of 5000 acres, for the genera
ton of 10000 XIV of electric
energy, and assisting material
ly in flood and silt control in
the Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers.
The land to be irrigated from
this dam lies partly in the
Grow Indian reservation and
partly in white ownership, and
is readily susceptible to irriga-
ton. The market for crops
which might be grown here is
close at hand in the booming
city of Billings and adjacent
towns.
The power to be generated at
this dam is desperately need
ed for present as well as future
demands. Billings, as I have
said, is a rapidly growing city,
with new oil refineries and in
duStral plants of many kinds.
The demand for power is con-
Stantly growing. Nearby are vast
coal fields, strategic chromite
deposits and many other re-
sources this country needs and
can developif the power is made
available. - =,
The Bureau of Reclamation
has been ready to let contracts
for the construction of the Vel
loWtail dam for many years. I
have requested the appropria-
ton of funds for this construc-
ton for the past three years.
President Humans ban on
new construction starts has been
applied to YelIowtail and has
effectively prevented the appro-
priation of funds. I believe that
wise application of the Presi-
dents policy and wise admin
istration of the DEVELOPMENT of
our resources require that con-
Struction of this project be star
ted, and I suggest the funds
requested for Reconstruction
be made available for construc-
ton.
The local desire for this pro-
ject is substantiated by a tax
petition, signed by POS Indians
who want the opportunities and
jobs that such a project would
provide.
