CANYON FERRY BECOMES A
"CAPTIVE" OF MPCo.

In the case of Canyon Ferry, fol
all practical purposes, the Montana
Power Company is put in control just
as though the private concern owned
the plant. In view of the fact that
the company fought planning and
construction of the project as waste
of taxpayers money this present ar
arrangement is a hard one for the or
binary citizen to take.
1t is well-known that the sale of
low-cost electricity from Canyon Fer
ry was to help liquidate cost of the
project. Now with private power
company standing between the tax
payes' power project and the taxpay-
ling customers the cost of electric
energy will be held unnecessarily
high and sale of the energy will be
so curtailed by restrictive private
power company policies that full de-
velopment will be stopped and the
net effect will be a lush subsidy to
one private business.
AS things stand now presumably
the Montana Power Company is the
sole customer of government power
at the Canyon Ferry bus bar. With
no one else to sell Canyon Ferry pow
err to, the government will have
surplus of power at that point thus
bringing into effect dump rates which
are available only to the private
power company. Here again Mon
tana Power Company gets the choice
pay-off of the government-owned and
operated plant.
The irony of the situation is more
fully realized when it is remembered
that Canyon Ferry was widely hailed
by promoters of the project as ''the
key" to Missouri Basin development.
Instead of having ownership of a
transmission line the end of the
25-year period Uncle Sam and his
many Montana nephews will have only
expense vouchers and receipts, and
Canyon Ferry will stand as another
monument to poor planning and mis-

lowed to stand and new ones en-
tered into, we might as well forget
full development of the Missouri Ba-
sin. Low-cost power is the key to
full development. Surely no one can
deny that elementary postulate of
resource development. Without low
cost power further irrigation and
rural development is impossible, in
dustry and business growth is stymied
and the financial basis for the con-
struction of many projects on null
tipurpose basis is gone.
The report of the Presidents Water
Resources Policy Commission recog-
nized the Importance of federal pow
er projects and federal transmission
lines when it said in its Summary
10 Recommendations December,
1850: "The Federal power marketing
policy heretofore adopted by Con-
gress, authorizing Federal agencies
to build transmission facilities, Civ
ing preferences in power sales to pub
lie and cooperative bodies and fos-
tering low rates for residential and
rural consumption, should be continu-
ed"

tricity is filtered through a costly
and obstructive private power COM

Where is the economy when we are

coming more important in food pro-
luction in the United States. That is
true in this region. What

agrees to compensate the Montana
Power Company for per cent of The
line-loss and pay rental of $4,000
year on the company's two Eas
Helena to Great Falls lines. This con
tract may be terminated earlier thar
1875 by three-year notice given by
either party.
Plans for government transmits
sion line between Canyon Ferry anc
Great Falls were dropped as soon as
the wheeling agreement was an
nounced, although the money had al
ready been appropriated, and l un-
derstand, $4,000 had ben spent on
surveys and some engineering.
$45, 900 ANNUAL GIFT FROM
UNCLE SAM
A noteworthy feature of the con-
tract regarding the Helena to Great
Falls lines is that the company need
not carry a single kilowatt hour of
energy over those lines to u. S. Gus
toners under certain circumstances.
For example, Montana Power Com
pany can furnish blocks of power for
rural electric co-operatives in CEN
trail Montana from it's own Rainbow
Dam near Great Falls and the gov
eminent plant at Fort Peck. Mean
while it can take equal blocks of
low-cost government power from
Canyon Ferry for sale at Butte, Ana
conda and elsewhere in southwestern
Montana. The company thus does not
only have a more ample and flexible
supply of cheap power for its own
use, but it also continues to get $45,-
600 year rental on its lines whether
used by the government or not.
1t might be thought that the gov
eminent is saving money in the Can
yon Ferry power wheeling contract.
Let US take a look at that angle: The
lowest bid on the planned government
line from Canyon Ferry to Great
Falls was 81, 231,163. That does sound
like a lot of money. But the rental
the federal government must pay to
the Montana Power Company every
year is $45, 1000. The contract runs
for % years after power production
at the dam begins in 1853. This means
he government will pay the private
power company a total of 100000
Turing that period in addition to
Der cent for line-loss. This is an ex-
oenditure for rental only, and the
government will still not own the
property. 1t is strange
hat the low bid of $1,231,16 was
urned down because it was consid-
red too high. 1t would seem that here

Minister Collects Hafpins

EDGEWOOD, R. I. -(P)- Three
years ago, the Rev. Earl E. Story,
D. D., didn't own a single hatpin;
now he has more than 700.
Story, minister of the Methodist
Tabernacle here, was told by a
former parishiOner to throw away
four hatpins she donated for a sale
at his former Newport church if
nobody wanted them. There. were
no takers and from that time on,
Story was a hatpin collector.
The ladies of the church donated
81 more hatpins He displayed the
25 in a hobby show and suddenly
found his collection boosted to
more than 100.
He's getting some rare pins now.
One has a perfume box within it's
head. There's a His-Her cOmbina-
tiOn of matching hatpin and stick
pin. Some are eye-catchers with
heads bObbing on springs. One is
capped with a button from the Con-

they want to keep their party workers
on their toes right down to the wire.
Walter williams, head of the Citi-
Zens for Eisenhower. told this re-
porter Of form letter survey his
organization conducted to find out
which issues are attracting most at
tention. They sent out $1,000 copies
of eight test letters, each of which
asked question about one Of eight
issues.
Surprising Replies
The replies were somewhat sur
prising. The greatest response came
from the letter which asked: will
you vote to continue coddling the
Russians?" Worded in exactly this
way. the question undoubtedly stirred
up added interest. But at any rate,
1t headed the list.
In second place on the basis of
reaction produced was the question
on high living costs. Third place
was captured by something entitled
How You Can Become the Most
Important Person in the World"
Soaring taxes finished fourth, and
corruption in Government followed
in fifth place.
In sixth place was combination
letter which grouped taxes, prices
and the disruption caused by calling
men into military service.
The issue of waste and confusion
in Government ran seventh, and,
most unexpected of all, the letter on
Its Time for Change" finished
last. '..
NewsreeI Poll
Mr.. Williams also heard recently
of a theater chain which asked its
managers in small towns how the ap-
plause has been running when news
reels Of the two presidential candi-
dates are shown. Mr.. Williams said
two-tnirds of the managers reported
very little applause for either candi-
date. He said that where there was
applause it was reported as being
much heavier for Eisenhower.
The feud which has developed in
the past week between President Tru-
man and Gen. Eisenhower poses
new question which may be more de-
cisive than the crowds or the ap-
plause. Will the Presidents bitter
attacks help Gov. Stevenson, or cause
voters to rally behind the general?

Pay as You Co.
Father Of That Withholding Tax Applies
Similar Concept to Political Funding
By Cecil Holland

known in politics. That was what
Louis johnson did when he was
called to the finance post during
President Truman's hard-pressed
1948 campaign.
But for Mr.. Ruml that was not
enough. He applied to his thinking
some of the merchandising magic he
acquired as an official Of the r. H.
Macy Co. and came up with what he
likes to describe as a "two-rail" plan.
One was drive for contributions
from the well-heeled givers. as in
the past. The other was the mass
appeal plan for individual S. con-
tributions.
The S. figure was arrived at by the
process of logical reasoning on Mr..
RumlS part. To his way of think
ing, 81 contribution was too
trivial" $40 too high. So he hit on
SIS as something of sacrifice but
still within the means of the aver
age individual.
4 Million Certificates
So Mr.. Ruml had printed and
distributed throughout the country.
through the party's State and local
organizations. 900, 1000 books contain
ing five certificates each. In return
for a $5 contribution an individual
will be given certificate showing
what he has given-a nicely printed
piece of paper containing on the back
of it pleasant little note of thanks
from Gov. Stevenson himself.
Since the actual solicitation is done
by workers at the local level, Mr..
Ruml arranged things so the State
and county organizations could share
in whatever is collected. Out of each
SIS contributed, SO is sent on for the
Stevenson-Sparkman campaign: the
other So is retained at home for the
party'S organization.
The finance chairman frankly re-
CARDS this undertaking as an expert
ment. But it's an experiment that
may have far-reaching implications.
If successful. it could become the
major means Of financing presiden-
tial campaigns Of both parties. It
would relieve the party leaders of
the endless worry over money to
finance campaign trips. printing.
posters and the ever increasing costs
of radio and television in the
campaigns.
1t would take campaign financing
out of the hands OF the relatively
few contributors and restore it to the
people as whole. While the big
contributors would still be welcome.
the bulk Of the political funds could
be counted on as coming from the
people themselves.
That is what Mr.. Ruml hopes.
And he's pretty confident his plan
Is going to work.
