Ex-C0MMISSNONER OF
AGRICULTURE NOW
LOCATED In HAMILTON

The Dannebrock Realty at Corvallis
was purchased, effective April 6, by
Alfred Anderson who comes to the
Bitter Root from Helena where he
ended term of service as Montana
Commissioner o. Agriculture n
March 81. Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson al
so purchased the George Strange res
idence in Werth addition to Hamilton
where they will make their home.
Mr.. Anderson says that for a time
he will operate the realty business in
the same building where George Dan
nenbrock maintained it. Anderson
says he will also include an insur-
ance business with the real estate
business.
Before being appointed Commits
sioner of Agriculture for Montana, in
which capacity Mr.. Anderson served
four years with distinction, he served
as member of the Montana senate
for Richland county during the 1886
81 sessions. He was, and is, engaged
in the operation of a 5000 acre
stock and grain ranch at Sioux Pass
in Richland county, located about 20
miles northwest of Sidney. Mr.. An
derson still maintains his interest in
the ranch operation but it is actively
operated by his son, Arthur A. An
derson.
Mr.. Anderson has been active in
all agricultural programs on a county
and statewide basis for many years
in Montana including service upon
the state college advisory council, of
which he is still a member.
The Andersons were preceded to
the Bitter Root by two daughters who
have made their home in Hamilton.
They are Mrs. Harry L. Peterson, who
with her husband operates the CID
Cleaners of this city, and Mrs. Don
c. Everard, whose husband is an en-
ploye of the Station Motor Co.

WASHINGTON, d. c. CNS)-
Uncle Sam has handed private cleo
trio companies a $615, 100000 inter-
est-free loan. And the catch is-they
may not have to pay it all back.
Clay L. Cochran, economist for
National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association, in careful study shows
how this has come about through
"fast tax write-offs."
Utilities get these rite-offs-ac-
CELEBRATED tax amortization certifi-
Gates on new construction from
Defense Production Administration.
Up to March "a, they got write-offs
totaling 1859, 726,899. These write
offs permit the companies to depreci-
ate the cost of new plants and lines
in five years instead of % or 80.
AS book depreciation expands, their
profits and, hence, taxes-are reduced
right when Uncle Sam needs taxes
the most. The annual tax bonanza,
Cochran finds, is $143, 100000 a
year.
"Utility spokesman contend that
their taxes over 25 years will be no
less as result of the write-offs,"
Cochran says. But he points out that
if corporate tax rates are lowered
and that's the talk today, with the
excess profits tax expiring June 80
and the pressure rising for other tax
cuts-then the companies 25-year
tax bill will be much less because of
the write-offs. So they wouldn't have
to pay it all back.
Even if corporate tax rates hold,
the utilities will still have had the
$615 million loan, interest free.
That's one-third of all outstand-

Why are these write-offs needed?
To reduce the power companies risk

says. "The risk of electric utilities
is already socialized. They can appeal
to state commissions to raise rates
to give them fair return on their
investments"
Will electric users get lower rates
because of this $615 million loan

Not likely, Cochran says. Already Ia

ASTIN firing BRINGS CLOSER LOOK
AT BUREAU OF STANDARDS WORK

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Can we have confidence in tests by
the U. S. Bureau of Standards? That
question bothered many people last
week. Bureau technicians find out
how long a light bulb burns, how
much strain nylon stockings can
stand, whether a lawnmower will
really cut grass. A small industrial
list, for example, might use it to test
motors he buys to use in his product
Federal Trade Commission uses
bureau tests as the basis of its mis-
leading advertising complaints. The

felt in negotiations now in prog

stiffened their demands for high

Can't We Even Afford TO
Talk About Peace?

one morning last week, nearu
reporter over the radio say, that be-
cause of the peace overtures that haC
been made, the stock market had ex-
prospective teachers, but that we were
More than billion dollars in value!
! had been wiped out.
What is the matter? Can't we ever
afford to talk about peace? Must we
continue to spend billions of dollars in
war and preparation for war, to keeI
our economy going; that is, to keer
prices up and to furnish employment?
can think of lot of ways to spend
our money and use our goods to make
a better America.
On the same broadcast that reported
the stock market break it was also re-
ported that some educators had said
we were going to be very short of
teachers next year. They said the
schools would graduate some 10000
prospective etachers, but that we were
going to need at least 100000 more.
They said we would probably have an
additional enrolment of a million pu-
pills, A lot more school houses and
teachers were going to be needed
Why cannot we train teachers instead
of soldiers and build school houses
instead of army barracks?
Recently, some highway officials said
it would be necessary to spend at least
80 billion dollars to just keep our
highways in condition. They said our
highways are now being worn out much
faster than they are being rebuilt.
Soil conservation and flood control
is another problem that is demanding
attention. The top soil, on
millions of acres of our land is being
eroded and the rivers clogged with the
silt.
Every time we have a flood the bikes
have to be built higher to just control
the waters. This is going to be an
enormous job that will extend over
years and require lot of work.
Last Sunday evening l heard a lead
er of the Social Credit party in Canada,
rather tersely, state the problem He
said, our society had learned to pro-
duce the goods, but has not learned
how to distribute and make use of
them. He said that the accumulation
of SURPRISES led to unemployment,
bankruptcy and war. Today SURPRISES
are accommodating in America both in
agricultural products and some manu-
featuring INDUSTRIES.
Must we resort to war to destroy
and clean out these SURPRISES? That
is the thing that has happened in the
last two wars. The wars produce higher
prices and full employment. Nearly
all Americans made money during the
last two wars, but war is surely a high
price to pay for prosperity. Isn't it
probable that lot of this propaganda
for war is inspired and paid for by in
1ustries that make huge profits out
IF war?
During the last war it was only the
peoples of the United States and Canada
that really made money out of the
war. Nearly all other countries were
Warfare has now become so destruct-
i've that there is real danger we are all
going to be caught in the general de-
struction. AS a general thing, people
are in favor of the conditions that make
them prosperous, but if we will scruti
nize more closely, our war prosperity
has been an illusion. 1t has been based
On the expansion of our national debt.

Joined hands here yesterday in
an experiment that could mean
a drastic revision in post-gradu-
ate medical teaching.
It could mean that doctors in
remote areas wouldn't have to
leave their patients and travel
to the big cities where medical
universities are usually located.
They could band together as
county groups before televi-
sion screen and see the latest
in techniques and new develop-
ments brought to them from the
universities.
University Hospital Experiment.
The experiment. was conducted
at University Hospital here un-
der the sponsorship of the
Maryland Academy Of General
Practice.
1t was done In miniature. The
demonstrations were telecast
from one room to another
throughout the day.
Baltimore Station WBAL-TV
supplied the facilities. and doc
tors from the University Of
Maryland Medical School con-
Quoted demonstrations and per-
formed surgical operations.
In addition to televised teach
ing to remote areas. another ad-
vantage was explored.
1t was noted that about 60
medical men at one time could
sit in chairs in a large hall and
watch what normally only one
man or a few at the most could
observe.
For example. one demonstra-
