tional Association of Soil Conserva-
ton Districts, provided his fellow
senators with considerable literature
on the Sos program, on its complete
ly local administration and democrat
ic control, etc.
The important vote on SIM l came
on acceptance of a minority COM
mittee report brought in by Senators
Angstman (D-Hill) and Holland Cd
McCone). The minority asked the
Senate to concur in SIM 1 as origin
ally written in that it's wording was
clear and unequivocal. SIM / as re-
vamped by the GOP-controlled Com
nittee on Constitutional Amend
ments and Federal Relations, has
about as much meaning as statements
by politicians during POLITICAL cam
paigns that they are against sin. Or
as Minority Leader Anderson cracked:
The majority amendments to SIM /
are a 'twatered-down, anemic version
of the original = memorial.
McGowan, in speaking for his
memorial pointed out that the pres
emf Sos program in Montana is
costing in excess of one million
dollars year; that at that rate it
will take more than 28 years to
complete a soil conservation pro-
gram within the state. MCGOWAN
also questioned whether the State
of Montana is willing or financially
able to continue this vital program
TO save our precious top soil should

mendation TO drop Sos back into

ed at a meeting next week of

ask the association to go on
record for such legislation, pat
termed after a Maryland law.

be a boon to planning" espe-
cially in fast-growing areas. As
it now stands, he said, plan
ners must get down on Bonded

to reserve land for future public
use projects.
