Two Sides to Every Story

Early in November the Montana Pow
er Company came out with an ad in the
newspapers in which they stated that
The preference clauses governing the
sale of federal power provide that
Farmer Brown, (being an REA Co-or
customer) can have the power that is
produced at government dams, but
Farmer Jones cannot" 1t was obvious
ly intended as a criticism of the law
itself. The Valley County Electric Co
OPP seemed to consider the statement a
reflection on themselves and although
they never contradicted it, they pro-
ceeded to use nearly whole news
paper page of fine print to berate and
chastise the Montana Power Co. They
seem to have most vicious, Sad1St1c,
dog-in the manager attitude in their at
tack toward anyone except themselves
purchasing CHEAP government power,
even when they cannot use 1t them
selves. In fact they only purchase less
than " of 10 of, the power generated
at FIT. Peck. Their entire harrangue is
just a mass of partial truths, half
truths, and highly prejudiced misstate-
ments. Here are a few examples. Lack
of space does not permit more.
Cd Speaking of Co-ops. they said:
They were and still are subject 20

Income Tax. They do not pay income
taxes, etc. Sounds like talking out of

Five private power companies IN
Montana pay a State License Tax of 1 20
of gross income. CO-ops pay none. The
License Tax alone of the Montana Pow
er Co. amounts to more than double
all the taxes of every kind paid by
all REA Co-ops in Montana.
(2) Again they said: "REA Co-ops
in Montana were assessed $153,233 in
federal state and local taxes for the
year 1853. (What federal taxes?) What
they don't tell you however is that al
though Montana Power has a valua-
ton of only times that of all the
Montana Co-ops combined, it's 1855 tax
bill is $10,500.O00, or 90 times more
than all the REA Co-ops.
CD Again they say: THE local power
company has been the Preferential
Customer at the federal power dams.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth and the Valley County Coop
knows it. Co-ops and other public au
thorities, by law have preference right
to all power produced at government
dams. 1t probably is news to many
people that the reason they don't take

The mailbags's turned real
deep blue this morning. It seems
that all Gods chillun got problems.
Here are the questions along with
some answers that we hope will be
helpful to others:
@. ! am so hippy that I am
ashamed to put on a bathing suit.
I'm getting the reputation of being
a bad sport just because I can't
bear to have others see my big
thighs.
A. That's silly. And why de-
velop complex about it? Why not
get long bathing trunks or have
your mother make you some knee
length bathing britches? Buy a
pretty bathing top and you'll have
a neat suit that will hide your
fleshy parts.
@. / have been invited to the
shore home of a boyfriend of
mine. My mother will not let me
go. Since / will have no other va
cation away from home except that
week, do you think that is fair?
A. Your mother needs reinsurance
that you will be well cared for nc
doubt. Why not have the boys
mother write her note inviting
you (which she should have done
m the first place. Many mothers
are not in favor of this casual type
of invitation and who can blame
them :? 1858 $3.50
@. I am is and am working at
a summer job which will be over
two weeks before 1 go back to
school. I have asked my mother
to return part of my paycheck each
week so that / can have some fun
on beach outings weekends and be-
fore I go back to school, but she
will not. Do you think that is
right?
A. 1t seems only fair that your
mother give you some of your
earned money so that you can
have some recreation before you
go back to school. On the other
hand perhaps the family financial
