United Nations Experts To
Study SeIf-help

NEW YORK-(CNS)-A United
Nations team of experts, including
DR.. Carl C. Taylor, leading rural
sociologist, will leave here July 10
for the Caribbean and Central Ameri-
ca. They will study how rural commu-
mites in these areas have organized
to help themselves, by cooperative
methods. In some under-developed
districts, the experts have been told,
citizens have set up community coun-
ellis for better roads, education, sani-
tation, recreation, agricultural
methods, housing and cottage indus
tries. Included in the tour will be
Jamaica, Haiti, Mexico, Puerto Rico
and Trinidad. Other expert groups
are expected to make surveys in the
Middle East, Africa, Asia and Gee
ania.

adequate and flexible lines of power
among government plants, private
power companies, co-operaJiveS and
municipalities throughout great re-
gion. But the agreements should be of
short duration to allow for renegotia-
ton and adjustments that would bene-
fit all power users under fair sys-
tenn of production and distribution.
| The contracts under discussion are
altogether too favorable to one con-
Germ. Twenty and twenty-five years
is too long for a power contract in
these days of rapid change. These
contracts will serve to freeze power
rates unusually high in this area
when on both sides of us the trend is
downward.
Wheeling contracts should t
stand in the way of full development
and preservation of our natural re-
sources and a program of providing
ample low-cost power to our people.
U. S. Federal power policy has
been pretty we'll established over the
years as the following statement from
The Report of the Presidents Water
Resources Policy Commission. 1850,
indicates: "The Federal agency re-
sponsible for marketing power gener-
ated in connection with such river
basin program should have authority
to construct transmission lines in or
der to prevent monOpolizatiOn of the
power, should give preference to
co operatives, d
other agencies not operated for prof
it as distributors of power, and should |
assure the lowest possible |
rates to consumers, particularly those |
n the residential and rural classifi-
cations"
In my opinion the Bureau of Rec
amation Montana Power company
wheeling agreements violate this poll
y.
One more point. What would Mr..
Parkins on think if the school board
of his district authorized huge
bond issue obligating the taxpayers
for a generation ahead without a
vote of the people? This is pretty
much what happened affecting the
of thousands of people
in the areas covered by the agree
ments.
For these obligations were entered
ito with little consideration for the ]
eople. There was no public hearing !
n the matter which so vitality af- T
ects the welfare of so many. Hardly
nyone knew of negotiations along
nat line until the deal was made and l
ocuments were signed.

OTHER IMPORTANT FACTORS
ENTER IN

Mr.. Parkinson tries to make the
point that it is cheaper for the gov
eminent to pay MPCo $4,000 year
rental on transmission lines than to
possess and operate its own lines. He
suggests that government ownership
would mean other yearly costs for
interest, operation and maintenance
and depreciation amounting to more
than $4,000. But he doesn't tell us
that these costs would be well COW
cred by low-government rates charg-
ed the customers in addition to re-
tirement of the debt, assuming the
present demand for power continues.
He doesn't tell us the power company
will enjoy a velvety margin on those
expenses paid by the power users.
Bonneville Power Administration is
owning and paying maintenance and
operation on lines at 3 Il mill rate.
Mr.. Parkinson goes to some length
to defend the transmission loss pro-
visions of the wheeling contracts.
am not an engineer, but | have been !
informed by competent authority that |
the line loss allowance is excessive. |
He says there is always a line loss.
That might be true, but how can
here be a loss when no electricity

md Fort Peck it is possible that it

customers in Central Mon

While accepting similar blocks of pow

WHEN DO WE GET BENEFIT OF
$40 TAX REPEAL?
Continued from page onel

WHEN DO WE GET BENEFIT OF
$3.50 TAX REPEAL?
In regard to the taxes paid in
Cascade county it must be said that
anv owner of huge amounts of valu-
able property should pay its fair
share of taxes. And since the same
concern is making large profits on a
speculative basis the state and fed
eral tax should also be commensur-
ate with those earnings. 1t is worth
noting in this connection that at the
urgings of the power lobby, Congress
last wear repealed the 31s per cent
on retail sales of electricity but the
private power companies have made
no move to pass the savings on to
their customers.
Government plants are not all as
costly as Mr.. Parkinson seems to
think. Bonneville Power Administra-
ton is paying out on the original in
yestment on schedule and returning,
in addition, interest to the U. S.
Treasury. BPA helped win World
War II and is opening up vast re-
sources for human use. 1t now appears
that the Havre-Shelby transmission
line will pay out far ahead of sched-
ule. The government is not losing
anything on Havre-Shelby and many
farm families in northern Montana
are improving their food-producing
and tax-paying abilities. The Ten
nesee Valley Authority not only is
bringing the original investment plus
interest back to Uncle Sam but is
paying local government units money
in lieu of taxes. Bonneville and other
government projects are valuable as
sets to the people from the stand
point of national welfare and the re-
yional economies and that includes
he welfare of private business, la
Dor and agriculture. Think of the
treat amounts of new wealth these !

government projects have helped ere
ate
There is a tremendous demand for
power that private power companies
cannot or will not supply. 1t seems
clear that some of our great power
potential, and Montana has much,
must be developed by some agency
big enough to do the job. That is
why we must have more government
development with benefits available
to all.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Liberal
Democrats are reasserting their
control of their party in the one
forum they have not ceased in
20 years to dominate-the ma
tional convention.
The striking developments
here are fresh stages in their
continuing effort to build a
party that will be invincible in
the pivotal States where elec-
tions are won and lost.
The price of this effort Is the
loyalty of the Solid South. It is
Q high price, but it is the price.
In that sense Democrats are
making a great contribution to
the two-party system in the
South. It may be even greater
than the Republicans made two
weeks ago when they Tilted
their real hero for a candidate
with Southern appeal.

of the Nation are parading the
eager young Governors, Sena-
tors. Congressman and hopeful
candidates who think they can
afford to pay the price of COM
peting for the South If they can
have a liberal program and
liberal national candidates.
They look confident and they
are. The election in November
is the payof. If they have been
rash; they will know it then.
Because this convention seems
destined to nominate a candi-
date In Gov. Stevenson who is
acceptable to the Southerners,
many people are questioning
their timing. Why did they join
the issue now, it is asked, espe-
cially when they face such
formidable opposition In Gen.
Eisenhower?
The answer Is that they are
fighting the Democratic partners

Corruption Of the Free Ballot

Of course, but at least something.
There was one difference in
handling of the Southern rot
ten borough" systems by the Re-
publican and Democratic con-
ventions. The Republicans laid
bare the operations of theirs in
the South in intimate and
ghastly details. The group in
the Democratic convention who
promoted the Moody amend
ment failed to specify how the
Dixiecrat rotten borough" de-
vices worked, though to give all
the lurid details would require a
close knowledge Of the effect of
stratagems written into laws and
party regulations in the several
States and would have prolonged
the debate to all hours of the
morning.
They did not attempt to an

some Southern spokesmen who
piously proclaimed the majesty
Of the flaws" of their States
without saying how they were
put over. None, for example,
was more indignant than Gov.

challenge the sanctity of laws of

which, as everybody in Georgia
knows. were forced through a
docile Legislature at his dicta-
tion. They virtually permit him.

Constantine Brown:

Some 20 million Americans are
watching eagerly on television
the battle of words-and occa-
sionally ideaS-taking place on
the floor Of the Chicago conven-
ton. They see for the first
time in our history politics in
the raw: A flow Of good or in
different oratory and strong
verbal scuf1es between ambi-
tious politicians. Some who
watch TV until early in the
morning may be disappointed
that neither Of the party plat
forms or the speakers-general-
ly good party wheelhorses-of-
fers anything constructive which
could make the voter enthusi-
astic. It would be unfair. how
ever, to blame either the parties
or their protagonistS on the ros-
trum for this failure.
If these spokesmen harp
principally on the past. the fault
lies not with them but with the
circumstances under which we
now live. No politician can talk
about the future. except in very
general terms, because the fu-
ture cannot be forged by our
selves but depends largely on
what other peoples and other
nations will do. Those who speak
of alleviating taxes and q cor
responding reduction In Gov
ernment expenditures know
only too well that whoever Is
elected next November will not
be able to do anything so long
as the international situation
is as dark and threatening as it
is today. We have ceased to be
the masters in our own house.
The size of our armed forces
which swallow such a substan-
tial portion Of the national in
come; the amount to be spent
on the free nations now aSso-
ciated with us: the handouts to
would-be associates cannot be
foreseen by anybody.
So far the American peo-
pie have not been acquainted
with the cost of the Korean war.
The books have not been closed.
We have a good idea of the
number of casualties we have
suffered during these two years
Of police action" but the num-
ber Of billions spent in that cam
paign still is a top secret.
There has been some crit
! icism by the public that no po-
litical leader of either party has,
offered a solution for ending
the war. The leaders cannot be
blamed for such failure. A ces-
sation Of hostilities does not de-
pend on us; it depends on the
enemy who started the aggres-
sion in which we have become
involved. And the enemy seems
to have no desire of letting go
