Spanish Island Gets

PALMA, Marjorca, Jan. 20.
NANA).-The Yanks are COM
ing again. After many false
alarms and much political side
play, America is getting bases in
these parts in return for aid to
Spain.
AS this agreement gets under
way, the tranquility Of the Ba-.
learics and the Spanish main
land threatens not to be so
tranquil.
Recently, the Diario de NAL
Nrca, one Of Palma'S leading
dailies, started its first column
in EngliSh-for the benefit of
the hundreds Of Americans who
are already here. not to men
ton the thousands who are ex-
pected to arrive in the next few
months.
.Shopkeepers, too. are prepar-
ing by going to the Berlit8
School at highland feverishly
writing out new price labels by
day. Coca-Cola is already on
sale legally and rye whisky may
be bought for as little as $6 a

Yet, in spite Of the undeniable
fact that prosperity approaches,
there are quite a few citizens

Such Senseless activity, he main

Secondly, there are signs that
the Americans already here do
not subscribe to the belief that
those who serve them should
spend their time doing nothing
and then having a good rest
afterward-the basis upon which
Spanish philosophy is founded.
Imitation Under Way.
There is an idea that the
American invasion will lead. as
it has done elsewhere in Europe.

He comes from a state where
vested interests and big monopo-
lists are particularly powerful, but
Murray never has bowed to them.
His record on labor legislation is
practically perfect. He has strongly
helped the railroad workers in many
crucial battles.
Also, he works constantly for low
cost publicly-owned electric power,
reclamation, irrigation and other de-
velopment and conservation projects
so vitality important to his Western
state and to the entire country.
Murray has also battled for the
interests of small businessmen, farm
ers, school teachers and everybody
else except the ''potentates of privi-
lege and predatory wealth"
The latter are sparing no effort
or money in their attempt to defeat
Murray. To prevent that, Mon
tanans must be sure to register and

By June %, 1949 the Chief of En-

"The Glacier View project, which

''In order to get an increase, they
had to convince the commission that
the gas division was worth far more
than they had ever before claimed
more than it cost them new, and
more than it is valued at on the Pow

Olsen said
Attorney General Olsen stated
that the primary question involved
has nothing to do with national
average costs of gas but, SIS your
gas bill too high? Like all public
utilities, the gas division of the
Power Company is a cost plus op-

ed are What are the costs-how

"The threat of possible shortage
of gas and lack of fuel to heat your
homes is malarky," said Attorney
General Arnold H. Olsen in a radio
talk over the XII radio stations Sat
urday, April 10. "a shortage of gas
for heating homes is a pretty remote
possibility, but the reserves that have
been so talked about were not to
prevent shortage of gas to you, but
to prevent shortage of gas to the
ACM company
Arnold Olsen's April 10th radio
speech is but another step in his fight
to get a review of the rate increase
hearings held almost a year ago in
which the Railroad and Public Service
Commission granted Montana Power
Gas Company rate increases of from
1920 to 47@o.
At the hearings last year the COM
mission refused to grant protestants
permission to examine the portion of
the Gas company properties used to
supply the Anaconda Copper Min
ing Company.
This as well as other points are
at issue in the suit filed by the At
torney General in behalf of the peo-
pie of Montana, which is being fought
with everything at it's command by
the Montana Power Gas Company in
an effort to prevent review reach
ing the courts.
Olsen said that the people of
the state can fairly ask themselves
the question Gam paying my own
gas bill or am / paying my own
gas bill plus part OF somebody
elses?
He pointed out that the ACM pays
20 cents per thousand cubic feet for
its gas at Anaconda and Butte, 171a
cents per thousand at Great Falls,
and added Compare this so-called
wholesale rate of 171a to 20 cents

Governor ]. Hugo Aronson has adj
vised the Missoula Electric Coop
erative that he does not think the
State of Montana should get into the
electric power business at this time,
reports Eugene Pike, manager Of the
farmer-owned power distribution CO.
operative.
The Governor made his position
on power clear following a re-
quest by the recent annual meet
ing of the Missoula cooperative
that he "call for legislation at his
first opportunity which will en-
able the State of Montana to be-
come an active partner with the
Federal Government in the de-
velopment of the electric power re-
sources of the State of Montana"
In leading up to the request to
Governor Aronson, the $50 coop
members in attendance at the meet
ing, called attention to the fact
that 'the authority of the State of
Montana to enter into the electric
power business no longer exists be-
cause of the repeal in 1853 of the
State Identification Authority Act
of 1886" This legislative repeater,
actively lobbied for by Montana Pow
er Co., was approved over the Gov
ernor's signature.
The Importance of the State be-
ing able to go into the business of
generating, transmitting and selling
power, is now apparent, the dele
gates continued, because "The United
States Government has declared that

CONFLICT

Glacier National Park is renown
on account of its sixty glaciers, pic
turesque peaks and mountain masses
and for the beauty of it's two hundred
and fifty lakes. None of these would
be affected by Glacier View DAM
Of the $4,000 acre reservoir ex-
tending % miles up the North Fork,
1880 acres would be within the
Park although only 1918 acres is
now federal land or little over 10
of the 998,797 acres in the Park.
The valley of the North Fork is
separated from most of the Park by
two ridges and has virtually no at
fractions for the tourist. 1t would
not have been part of the Park eX-
cept for the accident that it was con-
venient for Congress to define the
Park boundaries by means of the
Canadian boundary, the North Fork
and the Middle Fork and the edge
of an Indian reservation.
The reservoir lands have been sub
iected to several forest fires The
growth is chiefly short brushy fir and
pine on cut-over and burned lands.
These lands are far from the "prim-

TOP DAM
Half of the 100000 kilowatt
hyodrelectric power potential of the
Columbia River Basin depends upon
upstream storage, the farther up
stream the better. In fact the value
of such storage is in direct proper
ton to the effective height of the
reservoir above sea level.
Literally "tops" under this cri-
terra is the proposed Glacier View
Dam in the Rocky Mountains of Mon
tana whose reservoir will be at g.
725 feet or 165 feet above the level
of the next highest reservoir, that of
Hungry Horse Dam.
A second noteworthy statistic about
Glacier View Dam is the unusually
high efficiency of benefits-to-cost
ration of 1874 to l. Except possibly
for Canada's Big Bend damsite, Mon
tana has the three best upstream
storage sites of the Columbia River
Basin as measured by the benefits
ratio.
These are the modified Libby Dam,
I.93 to /, Glacier view Dam l.S4 to
l and Paradise Dam at III to l.
These projects thus enjoy high eco
nomic justification.

accusing the Army of attempting to
build dam 'now for production of
electric power fifty years hence"
Nowhere is there suggestion that
the reservoir would be maintained
at full level during the summer
months and thus form 28-mile lake
for boating, fishing, and other rec
reation.
There has been no recognition that
Glacier View Dam would be as great
tourist attraction as Hungry Horse
Dam is at present.
WOULD BE A GREAT TOURIST
ATTRACTION
The National Park Service is a
single purpose agency. 1t administers
23,785,994 acres which it maintains
in primitive state for future gen
erations. Director Newton B. Drury
made accusations that the Army was
aiming to use Park lands because
they would be free and would thus
reduce the cost of the project. He
was fired as of April 1, 1850, but
the service continues to oppose any
development other than its own. For
instance the Northwest Public Power
Association found it necessary to
testify against HR 5023, SIND Con-
gress and HR 1898, 83rd Congress
which would have prohibited all water
storage projects within or adjacent
to national parks. Either bill would
have killed Glacier View Dam.
The National Park Service claims
that Western Montana will eventually
be just series of reservoirs. Actual
ly Paradise, Libby, Hungry Horse,
and Glacier View will total 265
square miles of Western Montana.
On July 81, 1858 Congressman Lee
Metcalf introduced HR 6722 calling
for study of Glacier View Dam by
the Secretary of Interior.

The all too familiar battle of propa-
ganda versus fact, is illustrated in
the case of Glacier View Dam. Here
also is a narrow viewpoint which can
do much to hold back Pacific North
