Water Rights Must Be Safeguarded

fitted over four hundred thousand
acres of land in the State of Mon
tana by furnishing supplemental sup
plies as we'll as full supplies to GER
tain areas throughout the state. This
past legislature provided this board
with the largest appropriations it has
ever had. The projects which are be-
ing completed during this biennium
under this appropriation will bring
an additional %, 100 acres of new ir-
rigated lands to Montana land the wa
ter supply for $4,000 acres will be
supplemented.
Montana is not depending entirely
upon the federal government for the
development of its water resources
It's citizens are doing something
on their own to aid in developing the
state. believe that any program of
water resource development must be
accomplished through all agencies of
government and state, with each ag-
ency carrying on the type of program
best suited for its purpose. The
State Water Conservation Board does
not find its program in variance
with, nor does it overlap the pro-
grams of other agencies carrying on
water development work.
We have at all times urged the
by other agencies of
each hand every project available for
development in Montana. To all ag-
encies we have freely distributed
whatever information the board had
gathered in relation to the various
projects, and have extended, both
and financially, our coop
Grafton to secure favorable action on
all projects. We have given and in
return have received very excellent
cooperation from the various federal
agencies.

1t has been said many times in the
past that the population of the states

controlled by the water supplies

However, in the great section of our

agency to aid in the relief of the
economic depression by making wa
ter available to the thirsty lands of
Montana. A special session of the
Montana Legislature was called in
January 1884, and the State Water
Conservation Board was created. At
the time the board was organized the
whole nation was in an economic tail
spin, and to add to Montana's prob
lem, we were encountering the most
severe drought the state had ever
known. The federal government
was trying to meet an unemployment
problem through grants, loans and
other devices. This board took ad
vantage of these loans and grants
to furnish jobs to unemployed and to
build many of its earlier projects.
During this drought period many
areas throughout Montana were be-
ing abandoned and county govern
ments were rapidly becoming the
sole proprietors of the majority of
the lands in their counties through
tax sales. Not only were our farm
homes becoming deserted, but our
ranches were practically bare of live
stock as well as grass.
The only bright spots were in the
areas and the lands ada
cent to them. This experience prov
ed that if we were to prevent the re-
of such disaster, we must
put water on our land. Irrigated
areas scattered throughout the state
would guarantee the raising of enough |
forage and hay so that in times of
drought we could maintain greater
portion of our agricultural economy.
We could maintain a foundation I'M
der our farming and livestock in
1ustrieS.

Army to Announce
New Policy Ending
Race Bias in Service

~ Ct OuUS
WASHINGTON (ANP) A new
policy which will mean the end
of racial segregation in the arm
ed forces is expected toebe an
nounced by the army soon, it was
! learned here this week.
The new policy will be divided
into two parts - the assignment
Of Negro manpower according to
skills and qualifications to any
unit without regard to race, and
the discontinuance ofthe 10 per-
cent quota system for Negro en-
listments.
The latter step is expected to
take place probably within the
next few months. The immedi-
ate move will center around the
new assignment policy, which will
be accomplished.
1. By establishing a list of cri-
teal specialties and Negroes hav-
ing the qualifications being as
signed to any unit requiring those
sp~ecialties.
2. Through permitting COM
handing officers to assign qualifi-
ed Negroes in all other specialties
to any unit.
the army intends through these
methods to make a start toward
abolishing Negro units and fully
migrating them with whites in
the service.
Motivating reasons behind the
new policy are Points 3 and 4
in the four point program pro-
posed by the Presidents Conn
mittee on Equality of Treatment
and Opportunity inthe Armed SER
vices, and approved by President
Truman. During the last year,
the committee not only surveyed
the situation, made a report, but
then went further by demonstrate
ing for army officials that utili-
zation Of Negroes had proven in
efficient and would continue to be
so until segregation was eliminat-
ed.
The first two points were adj
opted by the army last Sept. 80.
One was the opening Of all mil
itary occupational specialties with
out regard to race. This allowed
Negroes toenter into a number of
specialties hitherfore closed to
them. The second was the admit
ting of Negroes to allarmy SER
vice schools. The group found
there were quotas for Negro re-
cruits in only FL or 106 courses
offered men after basic training.
Keystone ofthe program is the
one dealing with assignments to
units without regard to race, thus
adding meaning tothe opening of
