REA Legislative Program
Resolution

BE 1T RESOLVED by the Montana
State Rural Electric Cooperative As
ISOLATION meeting at Billings, Montana,
October T. 1853. that, for the purpose of
promoting the extension Of rural cleo
trification throughout Montana, and
for encouraging the lowest possible
electric rates consistent with sound
business principles, that the Board Of
Directors is authorized to take steps
to implement and otherwise urge the
carrying out of the following legisla-
tive program
/. We reaffrm our endorsement of
the Yellowtail Dam, the second power
house at Fort Peck Dam and the con-
struction of a transmission loop inter
Columbia River power system at Ana
conda. Il tHss1 a.
2. We disapprove the transmission
agreement between the Bureau of Re-
clamation and the Montana Power Co!
date January 25, 1851. We urge that
the Bureau be authorized by Congress
to build transmission lines from. Can
yon Ferry to Great Falls and to Ana
conda in order to retain control cover
the federally generated power, and up
on receiving such Congressional ap-
proval that the Bureau cancel the
aforesaid wheeling agreement.
3. We urge again that the Bureau of
Reclamation and the Bonneville Power
Administration jointly study the eco
nomic feasibility of interconnecting
the federal generating plants in the
Columbia and Missouri river basins,
and to make this study available for
public information
4. We endorse the principle that
electric power from federal generating
plants should be delivered at load CEN
tiers and sold so as to encourage the
most widespread use thereof at the
lowest possible cost to the ultimate
consumer with preference to public
agencies and co-operatives and with
preference to rural and domestic con-
sumers.
.. We endorse the Statement of Prin-
ciples of the Electric Consumers Con-
ference and we endorse the continu
alton of the Electric Consumers Con-
ference.
D. We urge the enactment of Mon
tana Lobby Registration Law.

Resolution On Interiors
Discriminatory Power

WHEREAS, the recently announced
power policy for the Bureau of Re-
calamation, strikes at the heart of the
rural electrification program in Mon
tana, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska,
and in every other state in the nation
where the rural electrics receive fed
orally generated power, and Kansas
and other states now planning the in
tegration of federal power, and
WHEREAS, this attack is "alI-out"
insofar as the claimed powers of the
Secretary of the Interior will allow, and
is a deliberate and open attack upon
the preference clause as expressed in
the various federal power statutes and
so important to the farmers of this
country, and
WHEREAS the elimination of the
withdrawal clause from the contracts
with nOn-preference customers and the
decision to sign long term contracts
with preference customers, for all
remaining firm energy is a substantial
abrogation of the rights of preference
customers, and
WHEREAS, this new policy will af-

ing ways:

contracts with the Bureau and accent

DECADES OF PUBLIC
INDIFFERENCE BRINGS DECAY

A number of other buildings, both
within and without the prison walls,
are in varying stages of decay. Some,
like the theatre-a fine brick struc-
ture donated to the prison by w. A.
Clark, Jr., in 1919 = require only
surface repairs, repairs which are
currently being made. Others, like
the 2O0-man, old cell block in which
only so of the more elderly men and
the upholstery shop are housed, will
require thousands of dollars worth
of materials if they are to be made
serviceable for any great length of
time. The brick walls of still others,
like the warehouse, the outside heat
ing plant, carpentry shop, ETC., are
slowly crumbling into dust.
The newer cell block-housing
about $50 of the 400 inmates con-
fined within the walls-needs consid-
cradle renovation, including paint,
plaster, etc. The same applies to
the old CONAN clubhouse outside the
walls, as we'll as the guard-trusties
kitchen and messhalls.

to a little more than the institutions
needs for the next year.
The grain crop this year will be
large, but as of Saturday, final fig
ures were not available on total pro-
duction. Next year, with expiration
of tenant leases on the FoXley ranch,
the crop will be considerably larger
All grain produced is used for live
stock feeding purposes at the prison.
Row crops grown, in addition to
potatoes, and which provide much of
the institutions needs, include car
rots, rutabegas, turnips, onions, cab
bages, beets, celery, peas, beans, etc.
A cannery would prove valu
able investment to the state in
keeping spoilage to minimum,
thus making it possible to more
economically operate the institu-
ton.

PIRATING OF CONSUMERS IN
REA COOP SERVICE AREAS

It was resolved that because the
Montana Power Co. and the Montana
Dakota Utilities Co. have "by vari-
Gus inducements, including false
hoods and propaganda, persuaded or
forced member consumers of certain
rural electric co-operatives to switch
to private utility service" and invad-
ed the service areas of the REA's
that they protest "pirating and other
practices" of these corporations and
that steps be taken to publicize the
practices. The resolution urged each
cooperative 'to make written record
of each case and pass the report on
promptly to the other REA co-ops in
the state"

Livestock Operations

Currently the prison owns approx
imately 900 head of beef cattle not
including calves, and, depending on
the time of year, several hundred
head of hogs. The chicken ranch at
present has approximately 600 birds.
The dairy herd totals slightly over
100 head. Enough milk is produced
to take care of the whole milk, skim
milk, butter and buttermilk needs
Of the prison, and to also supply the
needs of the tuberculosis Sanitarium
at Galen.
Pasture for the beef cattle has
been quite a problem and has entail
ed renting considerable acreages of
private land located all the way from
the Drummond area south to the Big
Hole section of Beaverhead county.
This moving of stock overland for
great distances each spring has been
hard on the animals and has retarded
their putting on weight as rapidly as
they would if moving hadn't been ne
cessary.* Starting next season Sc
curing private pasture and conduct
ing long distance stock drives will no
longer present problem since APP
proximately $4,000 acres of the re-
cently-acquired Foxley ranch is
grazing land.
Average weekly slaughter of beef
cattle for prison purposes is five
head-or 260 head per year.
Pork represents an important die
tary item for inmates of the institu-
ton. Annual needs run in the neigh
borhood of $50 porkers, in the form
of fresh pork, hams, bacon, sausage,
lard, etc. This year, because of an
error-which may have been excus-
able-by Livestock and Sanitary
Board veterinarians in prescribing
serum to build up an immunity to
cholera, 1913 of $40 little pigs died
as a result of anti-cholera VAGINA
tions. A number of the remaining
203 pigs were stunted in growth pre-
sumably because of the vaccinations.
This has presented grave meat

ment, but steps are already under
way toward solution. Forty Hamp-
shire sows (bred by Duroc boars)
will be narrowing in November. In
order to ensure high percentage
of the anticipated 300 little pigs
reaching butchering age, the prev
iously mentioned "make do" con-
struction work on narrowing pens
and winter shelters is being rushed
to completion against the cold months
of the forthcoming winter. Farm
Manager Voth is also working out a
program or breeding sows on BIZ
rotation basis so that in
future a more orderly flow of prime
pork will be available for prison
kitchens.

The STATE PRISON is OUR PROBLEM

in the administration of the prison
is the setting up of perpetual in
ventory of all supplies, which is now
underway. When completed, an ac-
countant can at any time go through
the flat file of thousands of items
and determine the exact status of
prison supplies, how much money will
be needed for each year or such sup
plies, etc. This should prove of
great value, not only to the admin
istrator, but also to the legislature
in determining amounts of appropri-
atoms for the institution.
HEALTH, HOSPITAL, ETC.
The PRISONS several bed hospital
averages five patients day in and
day out throughout the year. In ad-
dition there is a TB ward which at
present has three patients. Three
private practicing physicians in Deer
Lodge are on call to handle the
health problems of the institution.
There is also local dentist who is
in regular attendance at the hospital.
Biggest shortcoming in this part
of the institution is that no provi-
sion has been made for psychia-
trio treatment by the legislature.
Yet, there is very great need for
it. In other states, legislatures
recognize the Importance of psy-
chiatry in rehabilitating prisoners
into useful citizens, and it pays off
with fewer "repeaters" Montana
should do likewise.
Another serious shortcoming at the
institution, from the human angle,
is the completely inadequate salaries
paid prison guards and other en-
ployes. This condition makes it most
difficult to get and keep good men,
and those good ones who do stay do
so at tremendous personal sacrifice.

Moving the prison herd to the Big
Hole, plus bringing the Miles City
herd to Anaconda by truck and
thence overland to the Big Hole this
past spring, proved something of a
costly venture. Twenty-Five head
an estimated so per cent of which
came from the Industrial School
died enrOute from Anaconda to the
summer range, DR.. Gardner, manager
of the ACM's 30,OO0-acre BeaVerhead
range which the state had leased,
was in charge of moving the cattle
to the range and they were under
his supervision while on the range.
DR.. Gardner diagnosed the cause of
these deaths as grass tetanus Au-
topsies were reported requested of
the Livestock & Sanitary Board, but
apparently none were made. From in
vestigation 1 have made over the
last several weeks, I have more than
a little reason for believing that AR
SENIC, not grass tetanus, may have
been responsible for most of the
loss, particularly of the Miles City
animals which had no immunity to
arsenic. Shelter operations over
the last century in the Anaconda
area have resulted in much arsenic
finding it's way into the ground of
that area. 1t seems an interesting
speculation why no autopSieS were
erformed-despite requests. If, in
the future we can find out anything
further on this matter, who may
have been behind putting the hush
hush on this, and what is DR.. Card
ners role in the whole affair, rest
assured we shall publish our find
ings.

SAME OLD BOTTLENECK-
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

The main building, in which is
housed the main kitchen, bakery,
the dining hall, garment factory
shoe shop, laundry, toy plant, etc.
needs a new roof and considerable
interior repairs. This year the
building was completely repaired and
reprinted on the outside and looks
very good. The main messhall is in
pretty fair condition, but the kitchen
and bakery need considerable re-
pair work. AS to equipment, the
kitchen badly needs a much larger
range, more steam pots and other
modern equipment. The brick bake
oven in the bakery is about ready to
cave in. Because of its huge size
this oven takes up lot of valuable
space that could be used to good adj
vantage if a smaller more efficient
steel-jacketed oven was installed
Again-these needs will continue for
some time to come, because of lack
of funds.
Biggest single improvement now
underway in the main building is
the installation of cafeteria-style
food service in the big mess hall.
This changeover is now complete
except for the securing of several
hundred stainless steel serving
trays. Once in operation a major
feeding problem-and a major
reason for prisoner discomfort in
that every prisoner will be assur-
ed hot meals-something next to
Impossible under the old method.
Rules of the institution call for
every man having all he wants to
eat, but that waste must be kept
at a minimum.
Other improvements are underway
to the fullest extent of funds avail
able. Last year, under ex-Warden
Lou Boedecker, a new concrete block
clubhouse, housing about rs TRUSTEES
in its two sections, was completed
and put in use. Within recent
months new refrigeration equipment
has been installed and coolers. have
been completely renovated in the
butchershop. Likewise, considerable
repair work has been done on the
commissary, three buildings have
been re-roofed this summer, and the
huge prison water tank and tower
have been completely repaired and
repainted. Outside the walls, the re-
creation area for the TRUSTEES is be-
ing enlarged and new high steel
fence is being put in.

CLEANLINESS, A PRIME
REQUIREMENT

The creamery, butchershop, hos
pital, workshops, messhall, and other
prison centers are as spotless as is
humanity possible. Warden Burrell,
a World War'I navy vet, remembers
well the emphasis placed on cleanli-
ness and insists that similar emphasis
be placed on keeping facilities clean
at the penitentiary. Only in the
newer cell block and the bunkhous-
es did I notice. this regulation not
being in full force. Many of the
prisoners are very untidy house
keepers in their own quarters.
In this connection, it should be
noted that, as dilapidated as are the
slaughterhouse and hog narrowing
pens, real effort is being made to
keep both clean.
