IL american agriculture IS TO
survive, if it is to prosper, then the
economic philosophy of Ezra Taft
Benson and his gold-dust twin, Doug
las Mckay, must co. Patton, de-
clared
while Benson was busy sliding
farm prices out from under the
farmer, Mckay, as secretary of
interior, was just as busy handing
over UNNECESSARILY valuable public
resources to private interests.
"There are no holds barred. No
public resources too important to the
nations welfare. There's nothing that
can't be given away to the favored
few. From taxes to atomic energy,
from IVA to Hell's Canyon and the
Dixon Yates scandal, from oil to
timber to grazing lands, the great
grab is on.
Patton charged that although the
Eisenhower administration has gone
on record in favor of the expansion
and growth of rural electric co-opera-
tives, cit has completely repudiated
and abandoned these pledges.
at may be possible that the Presi-
dent does not know what his sub
ordinates are doing; that he is not
aware of the REA showdown. But if
this is true, it is only because he has
refused to heed the warnings and
advice of the Farmers Union and the
REA co-operatives.
"The public power program as
we have known it for more than a
half-century is in danger of becom-
ing as dead as the dodo. The phony
cal interests as Dixon Yates and
the state of Maine-based Idaho
Power Company are going to milk
taxpayers for every cent they can.
"These partnership proposals are
nothing more than proposal by the
government to substitute the utilities
