Without Natural Gas

The Flathead this week showed more than ever
as an orphan area when it comes to natural gas
service.
Montana east Of the continental divide has well
developed system of gas lines, and this service is
presently being extended to Missoula.
Construction also is underway on $l6O,OOO,OOO
pipeline from the San Juan basin in New Mexico to
serve Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and Spokane. The
Federal Power Commission has authorized importation
of 3O3 900 cubic feet of gas day from the Peace
river area of Canada to bolster the Pacific Northwest
system
The Flathead well knows that hydo-electric power
brings industry.
Natural gas is similar force. The Anaconda
Aluminium Co., for example, is contemplating plant
in the Spokane area to process aluminium clay that
will provide raw material for the Flathead plant
Cost factors require that this plant be located near
the source of the cay-apparently near Spokane-and
a cheap fuel Natural gas will be used in processing
which involves reduction of the bulk factor by reduc-
ing water content Without natural gas the Anaconda
clay processing plant would not be located near Spo-
kane.
Natural gas lines will not come to an area just
to satisfy domestic market of few thousand homes
Gas lines are attracted by large scale industrial users
The Flathead should be more alert to the whole
natural gas development. At this time we are
finding ourselves an island becoming surrounded by
communities that will have natural gas service. MR.

Association of Manufacturers They ask Are you sat-

Are you willing to have the public accept the principle

init growth of union monopoly
1856 is an election year and the NAM is inter-
ested in larger war chest" Letters being
ceived in the Flathead along with membership ap-
plications that are to raise $500O,OO0
Membership dues start at $50 year for firms
that have net worth from to $4,000. This seems
high in comparison with the $47O year charged for
firms with a net worth of 81 100000
Of course dues paid the NAM are deductibe. At
the same time you cannot deduct donation to the
Democratic party or one of its candidates.
1t would seem that NAM dues in effect are dom
ations to the Republican party There is nothing to
indicate that the big business group has any SYM
pathes with the Democratic party its candidates.
On the other hand one is unlikely to see Union
organization supporting Republican candidate
We understand that Congress is favorably disposed
toward bill that will allow up to 5000 donations to
political parties deductible in income tax returns.
Viewing the whole picture this seems practical.
Our Democracy works in the way of having campaigns
with candidates presenting their views to voters
Small donations to support candidates should be en-
couraged. Large donations should be scrutinized
Our thought is that there appears to be widening
gap between the Democratic and Republican parties

publican Most of the working group are Democrats
There seems to be fewer independent voters. These
trends seem obvious, and we don't know the con-

Poor Streets

II would be difficult to find so large Montana
town with as poor streets are found in Columbia
Falls
Our thorofares are what one expects to find in
4 stagnant town of 1000, and not in growing small
city Of 1000.
There seems to be agreement in the community
that we should have better streets. We avoid such
matters as how to pay for them.
One point certain is that city funds are not
adequate for more than routine street maintenance
Mill levy for street and alley purposes is limited
by law to TO- fourth Of the 412 total city levy Col
umbia Falls result of the maximum 10 mills
raises total of $3.50 in year for streets. That
money is supposed to buy equipment provide operat
ing expenses and pay salaries. Actually $3.50 is not
covering these expenses with result that the street
commissioner (grader operator) in the past has also
been called park commissoner-that helps pay his
wages. The housing project rental money also helps
pay for streets.
Columbia Falls ventures toward oiled streets gen.
orally have not been too satisfactory.
Cooperation by neighbors was the plan of four
years ago whereby property owners would share the
cost of oiling About q blocks oiled. Best re-
suits were on Third Avenue West where property
owners shared costs and obtained curbs as well as
an oiled street Problem the 81 blocks was that
number of property owners indicated they would
pay They didn't The city had to make up the
difference Cooperative projects for oiling won't work
unless property owners actually put up the money.
There are always few that agree to disagree.
A better surfacing was desired for Nucleus avenue
with the idea that legal channels be followed. A
special Improvement district was created with plant
mix surfacng used Cost is averaging over So year
including interest for each Is foot lot for 10 years.
Problem is that the year-old street was poor
job and the surfacing put down with benefit of sup
cruising engineer isn't standing up.
Now Columbia Falls city council members are
thinking in terms of special assessment much as is
done in Kalispel The Kalispell plan calls for pay
ment of $40 50 foot lot to develop fund that pays
for surfacing in residential sections While property
pay this assessment each year, they often wait
year or two before the Ong program reaches their
block
We are agreed that Columbia Falls needs better
streets The present tax structure with $3.50 total
for streets will not provide oiling nor will the max
imum 10 mill levy in the future.
Therefore with better streets in mind, should
be investigating methods of paying for this i'm
provement. MR

This organization wants the federal government

aware farms, but this takes moth
ing from its usefulness and value.
Farmers generally have been
poor record keepers, says County
Agent George Vapaa. They have
a strong dislike for anything
which resembles keeping a record.
AS a result, many will have
trouble preparing income tax re-
turns and making social security
tax reports-when the time for
making these reports rolls around
after the end of the year.
Many farm operators find them
selves unable to analyze their own
businesses for weak places be-
cause of incomplete or inadequate
records, the county agent points
out. Production records which do
not exist can't be investigated;
neither can cost records be ana
lyzed unless they have been kept.
To keep usable farm record,
person should have:
1. A record book.
2. A place to keep the record
book together with bills, receipts
sales slips, and other similar pap
ers.
3. The determination to make
entries in the record book at the
time they occur.
4. The habit of making entries
in detail.
1t should be remembered that a
farm record to be of maximum
value consists of five essential
parts: inventories, both at the be-
ginning and end of the year; pro-
duction records of crops and live
stock; records of expenses; record
of sales and other receipts; and
a summary at the end of the
year.
At least one Kent County farm
er is noted for figuring close with
short pencils the shorter the
pencil the more carefully he cal
culates. He almost doubled the
average production of his dairy
cows in a matter of eight years
just to cite one example.
