MY "Two-Bit's Worth"
By LEVERNE HAMILTON,
Thompson Falls

Now that the English Royal carcass
has been properly disposed of, with
the attendant pomp and ceremony, en-
comiums and tributes from American
press and statesmen, I presume that
our newspapers and commentators can
devote some time to discussing mat
ters of more interest and Importance to
the human race
Possibly I'm a barbarian, or maybe
only half human, but / never could get
"all steamed up" over a birth, marriage,
or death in some Royal Family. Despite
their so-called blue blood" they don't
strike me as much different from the
plebian members of society. Just what
ARE kings good for anyway? oh! of
course, it's nice to have four of them
in your hand-providing the other fell
low doesn't hold four ACES-but aside
from that / never could discover that
they had any particular use on earth.
They don't perform any useful SER
vice Chat / can discovery their pic
lures don't indicate that they are espec-
tally ornamental, and from all 1 have
been able to discover about them, espec-
tally in recent years, the only func-
tions they perform is to provide a tin
God for credulous people to worship
and eXpend ostentatiously and foolishly
a considerable amount of money that
could be more advantageously utilized
in relieving suffering or making life
more pleasant for other members of
society.
Well anyhow the king is dead, God
save the king or should it be long live
the king"-or rather queen? And now
we can divert our thoughts from medi-
tations on the Royal cadaver and de-
vote some time to examination of the
activities of some of our prominent
American statesmen, whose sudden and
unexpected demise might induce as
much rejoicing among the American
people as the Royal death brought
grief to the people of England.
CHANGING over the Spokesman Review
of February 16 l note the following
headline Maintain Ideals, Taft Tells
COP" Altering of Principles Won't
Win Votes, Party Is Told"
Well, as to that, it shouldn't be diff
ficult for the Republican politicians
to maintain the Republican ideals. The
only difficulty to be encountered is the
fact that sometimes they get caught at
it-as happened to Fall and Daugherty
back in the days of the Ohio Gangs"
under the Harding admin
istration. And as for altering principles
If the Republican politicians have
any of that commodity to alter, they

A recent study has presented fig

The Rosenbergs were convicted sole

brother, Greenglass, former mechanic

grounds, who was arrested along with
one Sobell, Harry Gold and the British
Klaus Fuchs. Greenglass, to save his
own worthless hide, declared that he
passed along what Secrets he had
gathered to his sister and her husband,
and that they passed said information
to the Russians.

SALES AND WHEELING CONTRACTS q
Not only the MVA cause but all of Missouri Valley
suffered staggering loss when wheeling contracts
secretly arranged in Washington. These provide
for sale of great blocks of public power at give away
prices private power companies, also for transporta
ton of much other public power at "get-rch-quick''
rates. This l-advised arrangement turns most of
ual control to the private power companies and
denies to general taxpayers vast funds that should be
plowed back into valley development, aid in retiring
the advances made by Uncle Sam for work already
done. This injury is not everlastingy rreparabe but
will continue to accumulate until the existing contracts

ADEQUATE RECORDS (+)

\
Development planning was, and still is, seriously
handicapped by lack of dependable records such as
flow topography land classification and dozens
of others Much to better this situation has been done
in eight years. This is distinct gain which does not
lessen the fact that much still needs doing.
ARMY BRASS UNDER PUBLIC FIRE Cd
The U. S. Army has the most powerful and active
lobby in Washington. Its program is to take over to
military control increasing segments of civilian
tivity. Reaction to this has set in For months there
has been barrage of publicity against these high
handed methods. very heavy pressure for restora-
ton of civil control and democratic right is
being exerted There is definite evidence that
this pressure is beginning to register with members
of Congress. All this constitutes MVA gain.
TIMELY AND EFFECTIVE BOOSTS Cd
Many and women high in public life have given
valuable service to the MVA cause. In Montana great
service rendered by Mrs. Bernice Kingsbury who
secured MVA endorsement at two large Regional Meet
ings of Democratic Party leadership Governor Bon
ner, member of Missouri Basin Interagency Com
mittee, has vigorously defended Montana's right to
fair share of water and power has taken the first step
toward defeat of phoney ten-state compact idea and
has exerted much to relaxation of de-
mand for unneeded navigation water. All this adds up
to very valuable gains toward the MVA idea.
