YELL0WTAL DAM. Definitely A Null

which are government-owned and
can be operated in the interest of a
maintained stream flow above the
Yellowtail storage. 1t is interesting
to note that this storage will not in
undate any valuable farm land, being
principally stored in the 55-mile long
Big Horn canyon, and that so far as
| know, it is the only presently inves-
tigated project which will, from the
earnings of the power alone, return
to the government its investment and
provide surplus to aid less FORUM
ate projects in Montana.
We are not apprehensive of the
Big Horn development as planned by
the government agencies, but we are
concerned about our government re-
fusing funds to bring this project into
development and beneficial use. We
are apprehensive over our govern
ment refusing necessary funds to the
Bureau of Reclamation to bring these
projects into development. We are
concerned about our government
sending our engineers to Korea, to
France, to Switzerland, to Lebanon,
and other foreign chimes under fam
tastic programs backed by fabulous
sums supplied by our people at the
expense and exclusion of our domes-
tic development.
During the past few years, we have
been given the merry-go-round here
on the Yellowtail. First, we must
have compact dividing the waters
of the Big Horn. We have met this
must. We must have an appraisal
of the value of dam site and storage.
We now have that. We must have the
request of the Bureau of the Budget.
This cannot be secured because of the
''no new starts" edict of the Pres
ident.
We elect a Congress to run this
United States. 1t is its duty to ap-
funds and provide where
they shall be spent, regardless of the
attitude of the President. We be-
ieve in case of failure of the Presi-
lent to recommend them, the Con-
gress should still provide them and
10 it in such a way that an unsym-
pathetic President cannot freeze
hem.
We are disturbed about billion
300 million dollars being carried over
n our foreign aid fund from fiscal
1852 and our Bureau of RecIama ton
budget of 365 million being cut in
lalf by self-styled, economy-minded
Congress. Possibly it should recall
he old war song: Don't bite the
and that's feeding you"
| believe that in the interest of Sc
urity of our people of this and fut-
re generations, our federal govern
nent should develop and control such
ital natural resources as water in
his arid and semi-arid area. This
oes not constitute communism as is
ometimes charged, but it does spell
ecurity for our people. Unless some
hing is done by our Congress to en-
our water resources develop
lent in this arid West, it will be fac ;
lg a Mother Hubbard Cupboard here '
t home and an angry people in for {
ign countries when Santa Claus is
5arved. :.

AFFECT OF DISEASE COVERAGE
ON INSURANCE RATES

The businessmen in your area might
also be interested to know little
about increase in rates. In 1850 Ohio
put on full coverage of occupational
disease and allowed a rate increase of
2 cents over industrial accident rates
and still find the 2-cent rate charge
sufficient to cover occupational di-
sease claims. Oregon informs us that
in 1851 not quite so of all claims
for that year were for occupational
disease. Incidentally Oregon has full
coverage on occupational disease. Two
years ago California paid $500
maximum weekly benefits, including
full coverage on all occupational di-
sease and unlimited medical care, and
charged rates of 1925 for under
ground mining. On Sept. 1, 1851,
California raised their benefits to
$685. maximum for all accidents and
diseases but the mining rates went
down to $7.45. Grocery stores paid
81 cents on the $500 maximum and
raised to $685.. These rates are for
each 500 of payroll. These are just a
few comparisons and an additional 10
occupations show the same trend in
California. Montana rates at the pres
ent time for grocery stores with COW
erage for industrial accidents only are
72 cents for each 800 of payroll.

proposed initiative which hope you
will publish for the satisfaction of
those people who you say would "like
to hear the other side of the question"
l admit I'm not a lawyer but just an
everyday working man, however, [
must admit that several reputable
lawyers and some of the judiciary
have informed me that my interpre-
tation is very fine basic reasoning
of Section 92-704C. Naturally several
lawyers will disagree with my inter
probation, but did you ever see law
yers agree on any law that was ever
written? If they did then there would
never be any need of lawyers.
SUGGESTS EDITOR ARRANGE
PUBLIC FORUM
You close by stating" &C. We think
their original intentions might have
been honorable, but the initiative it
self is an insult to the intelligence
of the people of Montana" l suggest
that if you really want to disclose to
the people of your area whether the
proponents of the initiative inten-
TONS are honorable, you arrange a
public forum inviting representatives
of the Montana Economic Council and
the Montana Industrial Health Com
mittee to appear on the same plat
form to discuss the merits of the init
ative and let the people judge for
themselves whether their intelligence
has been insulted.
I have barely touched the surface
of the merits of the proponents side
of the measure but l know that a
full airing will be most disastrous for
the MEG.
You have permission to publish this
letter, however, request that if you
do publish it, you publish the entire
contents not just parts of it.
Trusting the above information will
be enlightening and informative, re-
main with best personal wishes

Hot Swe aters
Reported Sold
Local Buyers

London police said Tuesday
they have received what Is be-
lieved to be one of the hot
sweaters" recently sold by door
to door statesmen and have been
found to be highly inflamable.
The sweater was turned in to
police 10y a resident of West Gen.

Gently approached by three sales
men with the attractive sweaters
and finally purchased ore.
It was turned in to the London
officers in its original box. In the
box was the following written
guarantee: Purchaser of this
twin Yorkshire jacket set is as
sured 1000 spun yarn, ex-
perienced Workmanship and gen.
uine leather buttons. Hollywood
styled for Town and Country"
When the garment was given
the test, it was found to burn
readily.
This is the only garment police
have received from any local
purchasers and no trace has been
found of the salemen, officers
stated.
State authorities have been in
vestigating the inflamable sweat
er case in number of Ohio
cities where the dangerous gar
ments were reported sold by
street haWkers.
The material with which the
sweaters were made appeared to
have been treated with a sub
stance making them highly in
flammable and therefore dam
gerous to the wearer.

MAN FATALLY
INJURED IN
RT. 40 CRASH

Charles finch. ~, of 225 f.
Beck ST.. Columbus, died in Mt
Carmel Hospital Sunday night of
injuries suffered about 4:30 am.
Sunday when the auto in which
he was riding crashed into the
rear of a disabled truck on Route
40 just east of the Madison
Franklin county line near Alton.
Motorists enroute to London
observed the wreckage and des-
cribed the accident as one of the
worst they had ever seen.
The State Highway Patrol said
Clarence A. Adams, 35, of 635 S.
Pearl ST., Columbus. was driver
of the car.
Another passenger, Mrs. Ethel
Massie, 80, of 221 w. First Ave,
was listed in poor condition at
Mt Carmel Hospital Sunday
night. She was said to have head
injuries and possible internal i'm
juries. Adams was under treat
ment at his home for leg injuries.
Patrolmen said charges of reck-
less driving had been filed against
Adams prior to Tinch's death.
They said the disabled truck,
driven by John B. Sinsley, 80, of
Leetonia O., was marked by
flares.
The injured were being taken
to Columbus by a passing motorist
when his car developed engine
trouble. At Warren Ave. and
Broad St, police took over and
completed the trip to the hospital.
Adams did not go to the hospi-
tai, patrolmen said, and they
were unable to locate him until
Sunday afternoon.
