Yes, it has arrived at last. The Fish
and Game Commissions biennial re-
port to the 34th legislative assembly.
1t was placed on the desk of all legis-
lators February 8, fifty four days
late of the date as provided by Mon
tana's Constitution. 1t was brought
to view after the closing, date for in

committee had killed HB 181. We
humbly ask why the delay? Is the
Governor and his Commission per-
mitted to violate with impunity the
State Constitution?
The biennial is wonderful to be-
hold. Stupendous, magnificent, more
glorious edifice than Greece or Rome

all covered with hieroglyphics and

1t contains 108 pages of the best

federal power program in the Pacific
Northwest. The ALLEGATION formula
Norwood flatly states, will result In
increasing power rates. 1t should be
said in passing that among many
private users of federal power in
Western Montana are three rural
electric cooperative associations.
ALLEGATION of water of the Co
lumbia River Basin is another import
ant section of SB 96. There are the
terms sconsumptive use" of water
meaning for irrigation and municipal
water supplies and 'non-consumptive
use" of water meaning for power
production and navigation.
How are these uses to be met by
the ALLEGATION formula and what is to
guide the commission once it is set
up? Who is to get the water and how
much? There are the upstream inter
ests resting largely in Montana and
there are the downstream interests.
The terms of the compact give the
commission authority to set the allo-
cation until the year 1000 AID. or
possibly until 1850 AID. That is a
long time.
Meanwhile what is going to happen
to the federal construction projects
on the Columbia River? What about
the jobs workers are needing as en-
ployment Stacks off? And who will
take over the electric power facilities?

you should get one and read the bill

posals and the Montana legislative

STORED GRAIN SHOULD
BE INSPECTED

Several reports of insect infesta-
ton in stored grain point up the
necessity for farmers to keep con-
slant check on the grain they have
farm-stored, Leo S. Kolstad, State
Agricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation administrative officer, de-
clares.
each year farmers lose many dol
lars because they fail to take neces-
sary precautions to properly store
and protect their grain. One of the
precautions every farmer should take
is to make periodic inspections of all
his stored grain," he states. "The
comparative mild winter weather we
have had in many sections of Mon
tana has been favorable to develop
ment of insects, especially in bins
where grain with high moisture
content is stored. These bins should
be watched particularly so that nee
essary action can be taken at the
first sign of developing infestation."
County ASC employees will soon
make an inspection of all farm-stored
grain under loan to the government,
Kolstad said, but he urged farmers
to make their own inspection now.
Government loans are settled on the
basis of the quality of grain delivered
and not necessarily on the loan value.
1t is also the responsibility of pro-
ducers having grain under loan to
notify their county ASC office i'm
mediately if stored grain appears to
be going out of condition or condi-
tons arise which make continued
storage inadvisable.
Kolstad also mentioned that grain /
which producers may offer under
purchase agreement must meet loan |
standards to be eligible for purchase
and the purchase price is dependent
IN quality.
'sThe final selling price regardless
If whether grain goes to the govern
nent or the market determines the
profit or loss a farm will have for
lis work in producing the grain. If
he takes the extra time necessary to
store and care for it, he
will insure maximum return for
lis years work. If he lets the weevils
multiply, and the mice and birds eat
tut of the bin, he lowers the return
or his entire years work." he con-
luded.

HARRY NORTON DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS

Friends of Harry A. Norton
throughout the state will be saddenec

the state film library, post he held
continuously from 1941 up to the
time of his death.
He came to Montana in the middle
thirties and before becoming head
of the film library, taught school at
Simms. Before that he had been a
member of the faculty at Loyola

Sen. MCGOWAN also counseled
against hurried approval of the com
pact without full consideration being
given to every facet of resource de-
velopment which would be dependent
upon the whim of the compact com
mission. MCGOWAN, a recognized ex-
pert on soil conservation, made some
very penetrating points on the status

However, for all the reasoned ar

was not able to give a CONVINCING
answer to any of the questions pro
pounded by Anderson on this score.
AS result, it gradually became clear
to the gallery-if not a majority of
the Senate-that the real reason for
the compact is just as Sen. Taylor
said-to stop public power develop
ment, since power use of water is
the 'non-consumptive" use referred
to in the compact.
Perusing still another section of
SB SO, Senator Anderson (D-Lin-
coln) told the Senate that because
of likely water shortage in Hungry
Horse reservoir plans are presently
being made by Federal agencies to
put in a diversion from the Middle
Fork of the Flathead to the South
Fork across which Hungry Horse is
located.

under the compact, posed the ques-

That stated purpose covers 10
of territory including Western Mon

Columbia River are located. A hur.

of serious concern to the people of
Montana and the Pacific Northwest
for lifetime or more.

if it is finally approved
SD 96 is the product of the work
of the Columbia Interstate Compact
Commission and was introduced in
the Montana Senate only recently.
According to the Rural Electrified
ton Magazine issued January of this
year, the final draft of the Columbia
River Basin Compact was repeatedly
by r. P. Parry, attorney for
The Idaho Power Company.
The bill calls for central COM
mission whose job it would be to SUI
,ervise all land, water and power de-
in the Columbia Basin. |
t would apply to the states of Mon
ana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and |
n the main with Nevada, Wyoming

he arrangement. Montana, Idaho,
oregon and Washington are the four I
tates most directly affected by the
compact since they are the states
ouched by the Columbia River. For
would have two members of the COM
mission authorized by SD 96. Wyo-
ming, Utah and Nevada would have
me commissioner each. Each of the
nembers of the commission from the
tates would have one vote on mat
ers pertaining to the work of that
ody. The federal government would
lso have a commissioner but he
would have no voting power. The
i'll provides that the program can be
ut into operation even though Wyo-
ling, Utah and Nevada do not come

Taking note that the compact calls
for voluntary financial gifts to help
the proposed basin commission oper-
ate, and that the commission can use
engineers on loan from "other enti-
ties" Mahoney cautioned the Senate
that if SD SO is approved and the
compact takes effect, you're going
to have private power engineers domi
mating the commission" and that

will control the commission. These
points Mahoney said he wanted the
Senate to remember, stating "I'm

CONFUSING CONTRADICTION
At another point in the two-day
Senate discussion, Senator Wallace
advised the Senate that the basin COM
mission would have only advisory
status and could make no binding de-
cisions. This despite the fact that
earlier he had told his colleagues that
once the compact was signed and the
commission in operation Montana's
supply of water used for consumptive
purposes would be protected through
at least the year 1000 against "non-
uses down stream"
Taking up this statement by Wal
ace, Senator Anderson (D-Pondera)
asked Wallace what pro-
lection the compact would afford
Montana water against such down
tream consumptive uses as irriga-
ion, industrial uses', etc. Wallace /

will have a decisive effect on
Congress next year and will lead
to the rejection of the admin

employees be covered by social
security.
The result Of the California
vote has been eagerly awaited
not only by Federal employees but
by administration officials and
members of Congress. The large
number Of State employees In
California and the fact that the
issues were almost the same al
those involving Federal worker,
were interpreted as providing ar
acid test of the sentiments Of
public employees In general re.
garding social security.
Administration officials had
been saying that. despite the
almost unanimous opposition to
the social security plan by Fed
eral employe, union leaders, the
rank -and-file of Government
workers favored it. Government
'employe leaders denied this, de-
claring that their stand reflected
