Why The Voice Was Founded

From the time of the great depression days
when the only jingle in mans life his empty
stomach there the recognition of need for an
independent press in Montana.
From the days when the laborer could not find
a job when he wanted to work-from the days
when a farmer could not survive the price his
produce brought the open market-when his
weather beaten land would produce-from the
time the small businessman looked at the merchan-
disc he could not sell because laborer and farmer
could not buy there recognition of the need
for Independent press in Montana
Even at that time programs being insttut-
ed to bail out BIG BUSINESS on the theory that
the benefits would ''eventually'' trickle down to
the little fellow.
Eventually" never came. Farmers, laborers
and small businessmen had program to alleviate
the situation, but they had representation in the
government and hearing in the public press
Over the trying years many attempts were made
to establish newspaper for the cause of the peo-
pie. They all met with failure because of falling
into the hands of few who put self interest above
public interest because of lack of financial
support.
1t became obvious that to succeed there would
have to be established fundamental requirements
for publication to remain in business and remain
Independent. There would have to be certain stand
ards for management to follow The publication
must be free from dictation by powerful adverts-
1t must have broad support by public sub

the widest possible circulation of honest presenta-

The Give-Away at
HelIs Canyon

All of you know that the Federal
Power Commission is holding hear
ings on the application of the Idaho
Power Company's request to develop
the Snake River. Last May Mr.. Nc
Kay withdrew Interior from the con-
test.
Independent engineers tell us that
the Idaho Power Company's three
little dams will produce 100000 kilo-
watts less of saleable firm power than
the big public dam which they would
displace. That's an enormous amount
of energy. 1t is energy enough to
create jobs for 5000 to $4,000 peo-
pie in industries and an equal num-
Der in service establishments. That
embarrassed energy will be wasted
forever thrown away-and the po-
tential jobs, the potential produc-
ton, the potential tax revenue and
economic well-being which would stem
from it will also be thrown away if
the administration has it's way.
HelIs Canyon, of course, is only
the beginning. There is already an
other case just like it in Montana.
The Army Engineers have pro-
posed a big dam at Paradise, Mon
tana, with 100000 XIV installed
power capacity. Now a power COM
pany wants to build a small dam
in the same area which would re-
duce the useful storage of dam
at Paradise from four mill
lion to about 100000 acre feet
an 5000 depreciation. Paradise is
the third finest damsite in the CO.
lumbia Basin-but both Paradise
and HelIs Canyon are to be ruin
ed if the administration has its
way. ifn1
On October /, the National Rural
Electric cooperative Association fill
ed brief before the Federal Pow
er Commission charging that under
the accelerated tax amortization pro-
gram the private utilities have been
given~ an interest-free loan by the
Federal Government of $842 million |
and that over a period of 33 years
the subsidy will total 1928 billion. 1t
will be interesting to see how the |
Eisenhower packed Federal Power
Commission rules on this issue. If,
as Mr.. Aandahl says, the administra-
ton does not want to give away the
taxpayers money, we will see what
happens to this 1913 billion subsidy at
the hands of the same administration.
Are they actually opposed to 'give
away" or do they think of a "give
away" as being a 'give-away' only
when the common people are get
ting the benefits of a program.
The other day I heard a man ex-
plain the new Bureau policy. A farm
er asked, "Why are they doing this?
Why are they changing the power
policy to increase our rates and make
is subsidize the private-profit utili-
,ies?" His informer replied: "Off the
