CAREFULLY THINK THAT OVER!
8. Just about equal to the 1850 asses
sed value of all taxable property in the
watershed of the Missouri river and all
it's tributaries, from Yellowstone Park
to st. Louis
4. Equal to 100000 for every family
in the Missouri river watershed That
is enough to build a new modern home
for every one of them from Old Faith
full to the Mississippi.
5. Equal to $4,000 for every family
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from Canada to Mexico.
A careful estimate of the actual val
lie of the benefits created by the pro-
gram, is that it will not equal bill
lion dollars. That means that more
than II billion dollars of waste and eX-
travagance is to be assigned" or charg
ed off to "non-reim bursable'' benefits
and be poured down the drain. Just
the waste alone is more than the 1880
assessed value of all taxable property
in the five states of Montana, Wyo-
ming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Nebraska. To illustrate such waste
and extravaganza, note the following
for the four principal benefits under
the program, where projects are pro-
posed to be built without the slightest
regard for the ratio between cost and
value created:

thoroughly satisfied. The Republi-
| cans, looking at the symbol from the
left would still see nothing but their
grand old elephant, while to the Demo-
Gratis viewing it from the opposite side
it would still appear to be their same
old jackass. To some, the matter of
locomotion might appear to present a
problem, what with the shorter legs of
the jackass on one side competing
with the longer legs of the elephant on
the other would tend to cause the ami
NAL to travel in circles. That should be
no serious handicap for both parties
have for several generations been tray-
cling in circles without arriving at any
definite destination so why shouldn't
they continue the process? y
To further facilitate and simplify the
process L would suggest that the ami
mails be grated to each other in re-
verse, with the head of the elephant
toward the tail of the jackass. That
would assure a circle of much smaller
circumference and simplify matters
considerably.
Yes, the matter of party symbols is
not great obstacle if our best minds"
will just consent to concentrate on it.
f course it will be necessary to entirely
eliminate the elephants brain for scien-
fists claim the elephant never forgets
and that would be terrible handicap
to our statesmen when they are re-
minded of such minor details as cam
paign promises. However the elimina-
ton of the elephants brain should be
no great detriment for we would have
that of the jackass remaining and the
brain of one good jackass should pro-
vide plenty for the statesmen of both
parties, in fact many of us are of the
opinion that there would be a consid-
cradle quantity left over
However, there are other objections.

broadcasting companies over the
dearth of campaign advertising. Cut
ting down or eliminating that source
of revenue would have a disastrous
effect upon our free enterprise econ
omy and might even precipitate another
depression, something that our rug
ged individualiStS" can contemplate
only with horror.
Then too, what would our campaign
orators find to "orate" about? What
ask you, could they find at which to
point with pride? Well, for that
matter what CAN they find at which
to point with pride" at any time? And
as for viewing with alarm'-welI, of
course, they still have that bugaboo
of the menace of socialism" and the
more recent goblin of "communistic ac-
tivities' but that great statesman, Nc
Carthy has been hammering away on
that subject until Its worn so thread |

fact intelligent groups get more shud-
ders from Mccarthy than they do from
the communist menace.
No, I'm very much afraid that the |

thing both parties have been accustom-

it would be as difficult to break the
habit as for an addict to give up his

A Letter To My Unborn Son
BY An Elk SERVICEMAN
I'm North Dakota Union Farmer.
NV dear Son.

My dear Son:
Today marks new era We are
again preparing for war - the third
world war since man has become high
ly civilized" We are polishing the
guns rolling out the bombs, spreading
the lies and hates which covered the
world just five short years ago. Our
zone world" is divided into two camps;
one comes spreading false propaganda
about the dangerous communists, the
other babbling about the aggressive"
capitalists. Words! only words in
the language of men. Yet they spell
War, Destruction, DEATH
Dear God, is there no peace? Is that
five letter dream only a word in the
dictionary of mankind? Is the search
for peace only an excuse for the wag-
ing of wars, the killing and manning
of men?
THE NAVY
once 1 was in the Navy, 1 stood upon
hot blistering decks which shook as
though fully aware of the death which
surrounded them. 1 saw bodies torn
asunder, blood flowing over the steel
plates eventually coming to boiling
point upon the fire-heated decks. L
witnessed men thrown into the sea,
grasping for one small breath of pre-
cious air as the water closed over their
heads and sent them to the wet, bot
tomleSs fathoms
THE AIR FORCE
Then was Air Force. The
war was over I stood on field cit
seems so long ago and gazed forth far
across the dusty, dry areas. beheld
line upon line, group upon group,
field upon field, of planes, bombers,
fighters, pursuits, standing on their
noses bullet and flak-riddled bodies
standing end on end. Hundreds, thous-
ands of rusted, shattered monuments,
pushed into the air to find peace but
instead brought death, grief and fear
to all men.

This program is being foisted upon
the people by government agencies
through the clever use of minority
pressure groups, composed mostly of
people who hope to profit from the as
Economical expenditure of funds during
the construction period.
A number of small irrigation projects
at $4,000 per acre, such as those con-
structed by the Montana State Conser-
walton Board, are far better than a few
large projects costing $1,000 per acre.
Steam power plants strategically To-
Gated, at $500 per XVIII installed, such
as the steam plant recently installed
at Billings, and which is larger than
Fort Peck, is better and far cheaper
power than water power plants cost
ing $1,000 per XVIII installed. Govern
ment built water power is NOT cheap
err than any other kind, despite popular
misconceptions to the contrary.
The time has come for our congress

THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY
DENEIOPMENT PROGRAM

At a meeting of the Missouri Basin
Interagency committee at Bismark No.
Dakota, in October, 1851, report was
received from a committee which had
been charged with delving into cost
figures for the Missouri valley develop
ment program. They came up with
summary which indicated that it would
amount to at least Is billion dollars.
This report was published in the ST.
LOUIS POST-DISPATCH on october 30,
1851.
This Enthusiastically enormous sum is
beyond comprehension. However a few
comparisons may help to understand it.
The cost will be:
l. Equal to 10 TIMES the 1850 asses

including homes, farms, factories, rail
roads, mines, ETC., in the State of Mon

oeratic free enterprise have a much
better product to sell than the
statesmen Of Communism have. And
! maintain that when the inferior
product is outselling the better
product, then the sales campaign
is an wrong.
We must show the rest of the
world more than our wealth. With
all our European aid, we haven't
yet made one firm and unflinching
ally.
America as a nation can't buy
friends, any more than any one Of
us can DO it as an individual.
We must sell the ideals of Am
erica. We must prove to the world
that freedom to act and to believe,
ands freedom to live according to
individual preference is the only
decent dignified way for mankind.
When our nation was young and
small. it wasn't known in Europe
for its wealth. 1t was known in
stead as the land of liberty and as
long as America continued to be
known as the land of liberty, peO-
pie all over the world gave it their
admiration, and, in fact, made it
the symbol of what their own gov
ernments ought to be.
America the free, America the
wonderful land of liberty, can
again win the respect of the world,
whereas America the rich and Am
erica the fat will hardly have a
chance to do so.
This nation was built on ideal
ism. A rebirth of that old spiritual
fervor will do more to make friends
for democracy than all the money

Your United States
By FLOYD cRAMER
President Of the Noiiono Association for The
Preservation Of Free Enterprise. Inc.
b. FIOYD CPAMEp

The world today is witnessing
what is probably the biggest sales
drive in all history on the one
side, we have Russia and its SYM
pathizers selling Communism. And
on our side, we have the United
States selling Democracy.
A good many people have point
ed out that the peddlers of Com
munism appear to be getting bigger
results than we are. l, too, think
the Russian campaign is more sue
cessful than ours is, and it seems
TO me that the reason the Reds
are Outselling us is fairly obvious.
They have much more attrac-
tive sales talk. While we are urg-
ing ornaments on The. rest of the
world, the Russians are talking
peace.
Don't misunderstood me. I don't
think for a minute that Commun-
ism will really bring peace. I'm
sure they are lying when they say
that.
But where the Reds are shrewd,
and successful, is simply in this:
They promise something the hui
man heart needs and yearns for,
whereas. at this moment we are
talking and talking almost exclu-
sively about material things. We
keep saying, get more guns and
more soldiers so as to have more
bath tubs and more cars.
Now, we do have to let the world
know how much better off every
individual is, under Democracy,
compared with how he would have
to live under a Red dictatorship.
But we are emphasizing the wrong
things.
We are making a sad mistake in
putting too much emphasis on the
productive and materialistic as
poets of Democracy. Where we
promise merchandise, the Russians
promise peace and brotherhood.
