In presenting testimony to the
Murray Interior Committee favoring
immediate construction of Yellowtail
dam across the Big Horn river, Will
ard Fraser, Billings, longtime fight
er for the project, said that in addi-
ton to getting funds appropriated
for the project a necessary first step
is for an agreement to be reached
with the Grow Indian tribe which
owns the damsite.
"While it may well be true that
without the construction of Yellow
tail dam, this land is relatively worth
less" said Fraser, nevertheless the
Crow tribe owns this valuable site,
and they must be compensated in
manner satisfactory to them. 1t IS
only fair and proper that this be

Fraser continued: cit is neither

earnest consideration, both by this

BY the year 1910, the protestanism
which many describe as once present
ing massive, almost unbroken front
in defense of the status quo had made
decisive change. The solid front no
longer existed. In less than thirty
years, leading clergymen were at the
head of march returning to the So
cial Gospel-a belief that society
the government-and especially the
Christian, is duty bound to protect the
weak, the unfortunate, and helpless.
A series of labor strikes extending
over long period awakened the peo-
pie to the dangers of economic power
and pointed up the plight of the poor.
The Haymarket explosions in Chicago
is an example.
But the revolt against the extremes
taken by the powers that be was not
limited to clergymen. Statesmen like
Woodrow Wilson, Journalist, Will
liam Allen White, and others came out
for more attention to social justice.
Besides this rather abrupt and wide
deviation in religious thinking, other
movements occurred that added to the
distress of the extreme rightists who
identify maintaining the status quo.
In the year 1919 the National Catholic
Welfare Council was organized to en-
courage the development of social
consciousness. This organization was
destined to exert deep influence on
thinking. In 1920 the Bishops Pro
gram of Social Reconstruction, called
for, among other things:
Minimum wage laws; Public En-
ployment service, laws against child
labor, laws to promote co-operatives,
graduated income taxes, excess profits
taxes, social insurance for old age
and unemployment, the sharing by
workers in profits, ownership and

Taxation and Democracy

During the depression year 1882,
the public was thoroughly aroused
over the failure to find the promised
prosperity just around the corner.
The December 81 issue of the Lit
erary Digest for that year carried
page-16-to a review of the recently
held conference at Fordham Univer-
sity. held under the leadership of the
Alumni Federation.
This meeting turned out to be a
crusade for Social Justice based on the
tenets advanced in the Papal Ency-
clicals of Leo XIII, 1891, and of Pope
Plus .XI, 1881. The capitalist system
has failed it was said. In it's place will
come some sort of modified socialism,
some system opposed to the theory
which gives man the privilege of sue
cess and unlimited opportunity with
out moral restraints. A social revolu-
ton, it was said, is in the making.
The recounting of these well-known
movements is intended only to keep
before us that indisputable fact that
much of the demand for additional
state functions and more taxes stems
from the highest kind of motives. They
have resulted from a deire to make
government what it ought to be: A
government of free men, deriving its
power from the consent of those gov
erned and dedicated to help the hui
man person achieve the conquest of
the goods" which are meant for him
and of life truly human, as Maritoin
puts it.

POWER OUTPUT OF

Hungry Horse Dam on the Flat
head Rivers South Fork is continuing
maximum production during the
day and minimum during the night.
Meanwhile, water in the reservoir
behind the dam is being drawn down
gradually to prepare for spring run
off.
Charles Simmons, chief operator
at Hungry Horse powerhouse, said
daytime loads had been running up
to 327,500 kilowatts. The dam is
rated for 100000 kilowatts. Simmons
explained that rated capacity is for

because the benefits would remain
generally the same over a 100 year
period, while the annual cost would
be less in that it would be spread
over longer period of time.
The partnership power policy of
the administration in regard to Vel
lowtail dam would mean that one of
the area power companies would con-
struct the generators and transmits
sion facilities at the dam because
there are no rural electric systems
or other preference customers in the
area with sufficient resources to be
a partner, Robinson said.
He revealed that an executive of
the Montana Power Company stated
last year that his company was "pre-
pared to investigate partnership ar
rangement" in relation to Yellowtail,
but since that time had made no eff
fort to enter into a partnership
agreement with Reclamation.
A policy like this is tantamount
to placing Reclamation in the posi-
tion of having to obtain clearance
from the Montana Power Co. for
construction of the YellowtaiI prof.
ect, Robinson explained. Rural
electric systems do not believe that
the responsibility for obtaining a
partnership should be part of the
duties of Reclamation. The So
called partnership policy results
in the elimination of any COMPETE
tive factor in the electric industry
which is approximately 300 con-
trolied by private utility companies,
Robinson asserted.
