FARM SUBSIDIES LAG
BEHIND Federal
AID TO BUSINESS

RALEIGH, N. C.-(CNS) Fed
eral subsidies to u. S. farmers have
consistently fallen behind similar aid
to businessmen, Senator w. Kerr
Scott (D-N.C.) told Farmers Coop
erative Exchange annual meeting
here, September IS.
Federal aid to business began with
the first tariff in 1889, Scott said.
Far maid came much later. Since
1949, farm subsidies have totaled So
773,000,000 whereas federal subsi-
dies to business were $3.50, 100000.
Scott listed some of these:
to railroads, 1873 million acres of
land worth $114 billion;
to ship firms, $148 million a
year;
to airlines, S73 million last year;
to newspapers and magazines
using second class mail, $3.50 million
a year;
to utility firms, guaranteed earn
ings, and
fast tax write-offs that hold back
i'billions" from the U. S. treasury.
Subsidies" Scott said,. are as
universal as sin. Unlike sin, they're
not necessarily bad. What's bad is
people crashing their teeth about
farm subsidies and yelling for free
while clutching to their
BOSOM their own particular subsidy"

GIGANTIC GRAB OF
Federal LANDS MAY
BE I'm OFFING
By JACK ANDERSON In

| pJ VAIN A4SDillsoo1N LII
Rochester (Minn.) POST-BULLETIN
WASHINGTON, d. ca gigantic
land grab, that would make the Okla
homa land rush look like a penny
ante real-estate deal, is in the works.
Catch is that few insiders may get
first grab at the fabulous prize
| 100000 acres of oil-rich farmland.
Located mostly in Montana, Wyo-
ming and the Dakotas, the land was
bought by Uncle Sam as relief meas
ure during the dust-bowl days. The
idea now is to turn all the arabic acre
age back to private ownership, which
seems like worthy enough plan.
However, Texas Rep. w. R. Poage
has rugged the deal to enrich few
fellow Texans. He drafted bill that
not only would give his friends first
priority but would turn over oil rights
to them. This is significant, since
thousands of dust-bowl acres lie on
the edge of the oil-oozing Williston
Basin.
The way Poage worded his bill,
preference in purchasing the land
would go not to the farmers who
owned it but to those whose
land was appropriated by the govern
ment during World War III. This is
verbal camouflage to benefit Poage's
Texas friends, who happened to sell
ranchland to the army. after Pearl
Harbor.
The Poage bill would also force the
sale of oil rights along with the land,
thus robbing the taxpayers of juicy |
royalties. Uncle Sam also couldn't |
Keep any arabic land, though in some
Eases retention might be desirable to
prevent dust-bowl conditions from re-
This tremendous Poage give-away
S already on its way toward becom-
ng law. The Texas congressman
clipped it through the House Agri-
cultural Committee, un-noticed and
during the closing hectic
minutes of the recent session of Con-
.ress.

PRIVATE HELLS CANYON power RATES
2AND ONE half TIMES PUBLIC ENERGY

| trail Farmers Fertilizer Company, has
figured what cheap power means in
fertilizer prices. each one-mill drop
in power costs drops the price of con-
centrated phosphate fertilizer $2.75
a tom"
Cheap power also means more jobs
men to build the furnaces, install
them, operate them. 1t means more
investment in plants and railroads
and housing.
What is true of phosphate is true
of other resources in the area,
aluminium, titanium, magnesium, zinc,
silicon. With cheap power, business
grows. Communities thrive. Trade de-
velops. Families prosper in land of
economic opportunity.
But if Idaho Power Company is
only investing 1913 per kilowatt of
prime power capacity and the high
federal dam would cost 1920 per
kilowatt, why will the private firms
rates be IL times as high?
Private utility financing is a lot
different from government financing.
Here are some of the differences:
1. The government can borrow
money cheaper than private utilities
can.
2. A private utility doesn't retire
its invested capital. Co-ops and pub
lie utilities do. The people who invest
in a private utility generally don't
want their money back. They want
to leave If there indefiuiteIv drauinor
dividends. This means continuing,
high capital cost.

CHICAGO-Age after age, dowr
through geologic time, the turbulent
Snake River has rushed northward tc
join the Columbia, gnawing away
granite to form gorge now 1000
feet deep and almost hundred miles
long.
Vast, wild, and remote, how can
Hells Canyon best be harnessed to
serve the needs of man? First among
its great resources is electric power.
Federal agencies propose a high
dam to generate 646,000 kilowatts
of prime power and add 278,000 kilo-
watts to the prime capacity of down
stream dams. These $4,000 kilo-
watts would cost $38, $4,000.
Instead, Idaho Power Company pro-
poses to build three smaller dams,
generating sos, 900 kilowatts of prime
power with no downstream benefits,
for S191, 328,000.
William j. Costello, Federal Pow
er examiner, listened to proponents
of the rival plans for II months, then
took five months to make his de-
clslon.
Power from the high dam, he said,
will cost ITS mills kilowatt hour.
Power from the three smaller dams
will cost $3.50 mills a kilowatt hour
almost 21a times as much. These
costs include everything-interest,
principal payments, operating ex-
penses depreciation over so years,
taxes, and dividends to stockholders.
The difference between 2.75-mill
power and 6.69-mill power is the
difference between full and in
complete development of the areas
resources.
Take one example-phosphate. Cos
tello found that 6090 of the nations
deposits lie in and around southeast |

them. Producers will continue to tap

Congressman Clare E. Hoffman
(R-Mich.) sprang to Nelson's defense.
Meaker agreed that the coop doesn't
have any assets now.
"You aren't going to do anything

agreed Meaker.
"Then you're asking the federal
for contribution, Hoff-
man charged.
NO." Meaker retorted. "We're
asking for a loan" An REA FEAST
bility report, he said, "has proved
we're entitled to the loan"
The loan, made May 27, was the
administration second to
4 new power generating and trans
mission coop. The money will build
! ,000-kilowatt steam generating
liant at Montrose and 164 miles of
lines.

ops, municipal utilities, public utility
dlstrlcts-have only nominal sum
of invested capital. They pay off their
bonds and loans as fast as possible.
They have constantly decreasing
capital cost.
Both these factors make lot of
difference in the cost of electricity
over the 50-year life of a hydro
electric dam.
3. Idaho Power Company says it will
pay $9,750,000 a year in federal,
state, and local taxes on the three
dams. The high federal dam in Hells
Canyon would pay no taxes. However,
the high dam and cheap power will
create many new industries, jobs,
homes, and communities that the
three low dams, with their high-cos1
power, would not. Thus, it would Gre
ate a wholly new tax base, yielding
S30,000,000 a year in federal taxes
alone, Public Affairs Institute esti-
mates.
A. Private utilities include &C.
or-more profit in their rates. This
adds to the cost of private power.
5. Other differences help cut the
cost of federal power. A public agen-
cy does not hire lobbyists, make cam
paign contributions, pay holding COM
pany fees, nor run full-page ads in
slick magazines attacking private
power. It's only purpose is to furnish
plenty of cheap power.
Said Costello, "The two (plans of
are so completely differ
ent in basic purpose that they are not
subject to sensible comparison" He
could find "no useful purpose" in
guessing what power costs would be
f a private utility built the high dam
Or what they'd be if the government |
quilt the three small dams.
This matter-of-fact approach, how
.ver, FPC refused to accept. FPC in
listed on assuming financing, con-
truction, and operation of both plans
" the same entity" 1t insisted on !.
the same basis of financing, whether
hat be private or federal"
Yet nowhere does FPC work this
ut. 1t presents no estimate of power
osts and evidently does not ques-
ion Costello's findings. How then
ould it reach the opposite conclusion
e did? But that's another story.
