water and power official.
Their contracts with Southwest
ern Power Administration are the
center of discussion. SPA has head
quarters at Tulsa, Okla, but is su.
pervised by Interior.
Aandahl at first contended that
Interior has no obligation to make
any contract that would assure the
co-ops' financial stability. But late
ly he has indicated that he might
modify this position.
The co-ops' present difficulties
arise out of a long-range building
program, initiated several years ago,
that depends for success on long
term contracts with SPA. The 83d
Congress, in its SPA appropriations,
so restricted SPAS continuing fund
that SPA cannot fulfill its contracts
with the rural electric co-ops.
The co-ops borrowed money from
Rural Electrification Administration
to build generating plants that would
turn out the electric energy their
members need. The plants were prud-
emily built larger than today's demand
for power. But they were not built
large enough to supply the co-ops'
needs, say, 10 years hence. So they
borrowed additional money for trans
mission lines to tie these plants to
SPAS sources of hydro-electric pow
er.
This arrangement had many ad-
vantages, both for the co-ops and
SPA. SPA could buy the co-ops'
steamgenerated power and use it to
firm up some of its cheaper dump"
power which it's had to sell at very
low rates, mostly to private power
companies. The co-ops could buy the
power back from SPA at less cost
then they could make it themselves
in their steam plants. When the CO.
ops needs for power in later years
exceeded their output, they'd already
be tied in with SPA.
Early this year, 10 private power
companies failed in their attempts to
void the contracts. The U. S. district

Costs Csc to Produce Barrel
Of $3.50 Crude Oil

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
A major oil company has opened the
books to reveal one of the industry's
best kept secrets-the cost of pro
ducing crude petroleum.
Standard Oil Company of Califor-
MIA told the House commerce COM
mittee that its costs came to 88c a
barrel in 1862. The cost was 55c in
1850 and CSC in 1851.
Figures were submitted at the re-
quest of Chairman Charles A. VOL
verton Urn. j., who is trying to
find out why the price of gasoline and
fuel oil went up about two cents
gallon recently
The selling price of crude oil is
close to So a barrel. The price var
les, depending upon the grade and
type of crude oil, and a figure of
$3.50 per barrel is used as an aver
age for the vast Texas Oklahoma
crude oil producing area.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1953-09-04

court here upheld the validity of all
of them.
Smarting with defeat, the utilities
went to Congress and forced through
both appropriations committees the
restrictions on SPAS continuing fund.
Every dollar that SPA takes in must
be paid into the u S. Treasury and
it cannot pay out any money unless
appropriated by Congress, no matter
how advantageous to~SPA it might
be from business standpoint. The
continuing fund is SPAS only cush-
ion. By saying that SPA could not
use continuing fund money to ex-
change power with the co-ops, Con-
gress effectively voided the contracts.
Shorn of their contracts with SPA,
the co-ops have more power right now
than they can use and transmission
lines that they don't need at all. In
10 years, or sooner, they'll need both
the power and the lines. But in the
meantime, they'll have payments to
make on their REA loans. Their prob
lem IS to get over the hump of the
next few years. If they can't, they
may be faced with selling out to pri-
vate power companies.
One question involved is a con-
stitutional one. Can Congress make
federal power policy in an approp-
riations bill? Many legislators say
it can't, and some opposed restrict
ing SPAS continuing fund on that
ground alone. But certainly such
appropriation riders" have great
influence on federal administrators.
Aandahl said at first he thought the
co-ops were "overbuilt." "But more
and MORE" he said, Gas look at the
l realize that you won't
have any excess power" However,
future needs for power won't make
the co-ops' debt payments today.
Several proposals are being con-
sidered at the session with Aandahl,
none of them as advantageous as the
original arrangements, however.

running the program of the future"
Rep. Hope cited two principle aims
of federal farm policy, with which
he said he believes "all who have stud
led the problem agree" They are:
L. Farm productivity must be main
tanned at level to insure at all times
(a) a supply of food sufficient to
meet the needs of an expanding pop
ulation at home and (b) whatever OBJ
legations this nation may assume
abroad;
2. Agricultural prices must be
stabilized at levels that will afford
farmers fair share of the national
income.
Rep. Hopes emphasis on high
Farm Productivity contrasts with
the official Administration view
as expressed by Sec. Benson, that
overall farm production is too high
and must be curtailed. His strong

proved itself the dominant
force in farm policy.
The Committee will begin it's tour
against the backdrop of a strong
statement by its chairman express
ing solid acceptance of the principles
of the present program. Through the
series of hearings, the House farm
leaders will carefully check these
principles, together with proposed ex-
tensions and revisions of present pro-
grams, with the nations farmers.
When the hearings are finished, what
ever the committee concludes ought
to be done will in all probability be
made to stick. Secretary Benson's

Supplemental Petition of Attorney General for Re-
consideration Vacation Effective

of $16,8O3,00O for the portion OF
the transmission plant attributed to
the other users. If, for example, the
same percentage could be given to
the other segments of the plant, the
valuation of which is necessary for
rate base purposes, namely the pro-
duction plant, the distribution plant,
etc, as shown in applicants exhibit
No. 1, and if these segments were
given valuation in accordance with
the Commissions determination of
the plant valuation in order No. 1896,
then the plant value for rate base
purposes apportioned to the ACM user
would be approximately $24,60O,000.
Further, the ACM user would be sup
plying only 100000 gross revenue
and the other users, whose plant value
was determined to be $30,000,000,
are asked to provide approximately
S6,400,000 gross revenue
Of course, at the present time we
have no way of knowing what the
value of these other plant segments
are or their percentage of value to
the total plant of the applicant.
We feel that gross revenue should
not be conclusive, as, of course, costs
are an item of tremendous considera-
ton. But we do feel that as far as
net profits are concerned that if we,
the Montana users, must support $40
of the total plant of the applicant,
xUa L.
more than $40 of the net profit.
1t is our position that the Commits
sion should determine fairly the value
of the various segments of the total
plant apportioned to the ACM use.
Likewise, the method of plant valu-
alton should be the same for both
the ACM user and the other Montana
users. 1t is our position that the Com
mission should determine the percent
age of the total plant devoted to the |
Montana users and to the ACM user
and that we should provide only that
of net profit for the APP
plicant.
We stress apportionment because
we note that the intangible plant at
5ributed to the other users in appli-
cant's exhibit No. 1 is valued at
$4,000. This, according to the testi-
nony of the applicant, was original
cost and not inflated on any theory
uch as reproduction cost new. We
'lso note that the value given for
he total intangible plant ACM in
luded at the FPC hearing in Billings

In respect to docket No. 4068, ar
examination of h e proceedings
briefs and points raised therein re-
veals the complete dependence that
the parties and the Commission have
upon the applicant for evidence and
facts. We must rely almost entirely
on the evidence presented by the APP
plicant and the possibilities of con-
troyerting the evidence there present
ed is exceedingly slim. Neither the
Commission nor the parties can dis
pute the authenticity of the evidence
presented as to the truthfulness or
as to manipulation hereof. 1t is, there
fore, incumbent upon the Commits
sion to demand all of the evidence
that the applicant has and require
it to be presented for the Commits
sion's consideration. Such has not
been the case in these proceedings.
The Commission, by it's own order,
has denied itself evidence of approx
mately one-half of the applicants
physical plant.
The point which we stress here,
however, can be raised on the evil
dence presented. Applicants exhibit
No. indicates that the gross revenue
from the users, exclusive of the ACM
for the test period will be $4,969,-
600. By simple mathematical calcu-
lation from figures provided by the
applicant, it can be determined that
the gross revenue to be received from
the ACM user for the same period, at
zoe M.C.F. for ten billion cubic
feet of gas, will amount to $1,000
600. 1t is, therefore, obvious that the
gross revenue received from the
Montana users, exclusive of the ACM, |
is approximately 21s times that re-
ceived from the ACM, and further,
that is considering the Montana users
at the old rate and the ACM user at
the new rate. Order No. 1895 would |
increase the gross revenue from the
Montana users by approximately ST.
100000 annually, which will mean
that these users will be supplying to
the applicant almost four times the
gross revenue that ACM user will
supply.
This, by itself, is not conclusive.
At no time has the applicant supplied
facts as to the valuation of it's plant
devoted to the ACM user. Testimony
in respect to applicants exhibit No.
was to the effect that the total
transmission plant of the applicant

public or the commission to know
whether other consumers are sub
stantially substituting Anaconda's gas
purchases.
However, elementary mathematical
calculations by Olsen's office on the
transmission portion of MPCo's gas
division lends credence to the con-
tention that the ACM is being unduly
favored with very low rates as COM
pared with those paid by $4,000 other
commercial and residential consum-
erS.
Herewith is the latest brief sub
mitted by the Attorney General to
the commission in opposition to the
new rate schedules:

The supplemental petition, pre-
pared by Assistant Attorney General
William Leaphart, further points out
that the commissions refusal to con-
the facts" exclusion of the ACM gas
contract at its public hearings in May
made it impossible for that rate-fix-
ing body to receive evidence in any
form on the 46 per cent of the gas
division operation claimed by the util-
ity to be used for servicing ACM's
needs. Although the commission adj
mitted in its order No. 1895 that its
duty requires an examination of all
the facts" exclusion of the ACM gas
service contract does not permit that
duty to be carried out. The result is
that there is no positive way for the
