We, as the initial residents of Richmond

alton to the owner of this veterans housing pro-
ect for job we'll done.
Capt. Frank Martin, sole owner of this
wonderful development, has proven himself tine
sincere and honest man who believes IN fulfilling
his promises and giving man a fair deal tor his
money. We are completely satisfied with our
homes and are happy to say that we have been
the proud recipients of many features that we're
not shown or promised us when we saw the model
homes. Some of these include venetian bllnds'
electric door bell, wider roof overhang, COM
plete corner-to-corner landscaping, factory-bullt
kitchen cabinets and 600 gallon septic tank with
lOO-foot drain field. We are fully aware that
MANY of these features come far above the MINI
mum standards of the Veterans Administration.
We feel that we have not been exploited,
and that house of this quality could not be
built with a large margin of profit, Judging from
what we are paying for our homes.

fective way of overcoming the exor-
bitant freight rates and colonialism
from which we suffer.
The real costs of the company's
new power rate are more readily
seen when we review the transmission
line situation.
One government power line now
in use between Fort Peck and Great
Falls and serves the Montana Power
Company and will serve the Hill
County Marias and Glacier Co-opera-
| tive as soon as construction is COM
pleted.
The Havre-Shelby line, now being
constructed, will tie with the gov
ernment's Fort Peck Great Falls line
at Havre at a lesser rate than the
power company's offer, and will make
government power available to the
northern part of the Triangle area.
Planned and waiting for money is
another government line to run be-
tween Anaconda, Canyon Ferry and
Great Falls tying in with the Fort
Peck line Thus Fort Peck genera
tors will be hooked up with Canyon
Ferry generators to bring public
power to many rural people in Cen
trail Montana
Montana energy units will also tie
in with North Dakota and Washing
ton units. A government transmission
line already runs from Fort Peck to
Garrison dam in North Dakota. When
the latter project is completed, Gar
rison power will firm up Fort Peck
power feeding Montana lines. The
Spokane Hungry Horse Anaconda
line will interconnect
with the Bureaus lines at that point |
which will firm up the power supply
1t all government plants in the circuit.
Now let's go back over this again.
At the present time, Montana Power

oeck-Great Falls transmission line.

what will happen to cost Of power?

An important point to remember
in the power controversy in Montana
is that the government transmission
those being planned by the Bureau of
Reclamation are self-liquidating prof.
ects. Government money is being used
to build the facilities. But earning.
of the lines will be used to return tn
the u. S. Treasury the Taxpayers
money" plus three per cent interest.
Meanwhile more cheap power will be
running to homes and farms. Availa-
bility of power is fundamental in
the new concept of multi-purpose de-
velopment. Sale of hydroelectric pow
er is an important means of getting
revenue for helping to pay construc-
ton costs on irrigation and flood con-
troll projects.
AS things stand now the com
pany rates are not available to REA
co-operatives unless they sign the
Montana Power Company contract
The Montana Power Company rate
misses the Bonneville yardstick of
3.5 mills per XVIII mile.
The completion of the government
transmission lines in Montana will
bring Bureau of Reclamation pow
er to REA's at the rate of 5.5 mills
or less per XVIII without strings at
tached
Co-operatives signing the com
pany contract will be joining forces
with the Montana Power Company
to break their own public power
program and their own co-ops be-
cause the co-ops must have cheap
power in order to pay off their
loans.
The issue is whether patrons and
members of farmer-owned and operat-
ed electric co-operatives and the
in general give in to the
enticing but costly private power
deal or stand firm for their
own public power development pro-
gram.
The people's voice., 1950-04-28

XVIII for that power delivered and
pays not one cent for the use of the
line. The company charges REA's
S.77 mills per XVIII. This has been
going on for years.
The company is vigorously Opposing
construction of the Havre-Shelby
line, but is not opposing the 2.5 mills
deal it has with Uncle Sam.
The company is also offering Uncle
Sam a proposition whereby power
from Canyon Ferry to Great Fails
and vicinity would be wheeled over
its own lines at flat charge tc
our tax-collecting Uncle. Mind you
the company isn't cheap. It'll use
Uncle Sans lines for nothing, but
it wants rent for its own lines.
The company has been successful
in stopping funds for building the
Grow Greek section of the Canyon
Ferry, Anaconda line. If the Great
Falls-Canyon Ferry line is denied by
Congress, the Canyon Ferry genera
tors will be isolated unless the Bureau
of Reclamation accepts Montana
Power Company's offer to wheel gov
ernment power on its two lines be-
tween East Helena and Great Falls.
Should the government line be de-
MED and the company refuses to
wheel government power, Canyon
Ferry would be completely isolated
from public power grid program and
to capture" by the COM
pany. In other words, assuming that
a government power line
in the area and with some future
Congress, being worked on by the pri-
vate utilities, refuses to allow money
for even leasing private lines, then
Canyon Ferry would be useless eX-
cept to the company.
Should these defeats for pub
lie power come along with the
blocking of the Havre-Shelby line,
the Montana Power Company will
be sitting astride a great power
market having for it's use all the
government installations in Mon
along with it's own properties. Then

High Court Refuses
To Stop 0ber Law
From Taking Effect

The Supreme Court yesterday
refused to stop Maryland's anti
subversive Ober Law from going
into effect pending action on an
appeal from a State court ruling.
The law was declared consti-
tutional February by the Mary
land Court of Appeals. A citizens
group which fought the law in
the State courts asked the Su-
preme Court yesterday to stay
the Maryland appellate courts
mandate until constitutionality of
the statute could be decided in
the Supreme Court.
The citizens group was repre-
sented by Attorney Mitchell A.
DuboW.
Appeal Can Be Filed.
In a brief order late yesterday
the tribunal denied that petition.
Court attaches explained that the
refusal does not prevent filing of
the appeal. It means that the
Maryland courts mandate stands
at this time.
Meanwhile, the Maryland Court
OF Appeals announced that the
States Communist Party has filed
a motion for reargument of a sep
arate test suit it had brought
against the law.
Deputy Clerk James L. Young
said the motion was filed late
yesterday and would be turned
over to the appellate judges for
consideration upon their return
from weekend recess Tuesday.
Formal Notice to Be Given.
Mr.. Young said he would mail

notice of its February 8 decision
