and the dealer keeping the other. Nor
than 1900 dealers belong to 80 stat
or regional associations and these !,
turn are affiliated with the Nations
Association.
The established dealers reputatio,
for integrity has impressed his Gus
toners. For that reason, the wildcat,
operation, "shade-tree" dealer or high
powered auctions have made few in
roads into the normal sales of farm
equipment. The reliable dealer. with
his efficient service shop, ADEQUATE
supply of parts, and his fair guarantees
of the products he sells commands the
respect and patronage of his customers
Parts Department
The repair parts department is ono
of the most interesting phases of a deal
er's business. The typical repair parts
department employs one or two people
and is stocked with more than SIS. 900
worth of replacement parts.
This parts inventory is the largest
stocked of any retailer in the rural
town. A wide variety of parts must be
maintained for each of the different
tractors, implements and other farm
machinery carried by the dealer. The
average dealers parts inventory turns
over" less than III times in an entire
year.
In many businesses dealers wouldn't
try to stock parts that may lie on
shelves from one year to another. But
it's different in the farm equipment
business. A one-day delay on getting
parts could cost farmer a crop or run
uD his labor costs. The dealer knows
this and keeps the parts right on hand.
The sales of repair parts account for
about IS per cent of the dealers sales.
The farm equipment dealer takes
pride in his ability to supply replace
ment parts. Perhaps a farmer has wor-
ried about how to get parts for his old
Auburn, REQ, Graham or La Sale auto
mobile For his farm equipment. he has
no such worries. Parts are still avail
able for almost every piece of farm
equipment ever produced. Even the ted
ders, binders, and threshers of so
years ago are still BEING sunnIied with
parts.

code is the only safety code in
Montana. 1t was drafted by code
commission consisting of members
from labor and management, with
James L. Faurot, professor of for
estry at Montana University as
chairman.
Members of the code commission
included Weller and William Shawl
from the Lumber and Sawmill Work
ers, AFL-UBC&J, with R. r. Weld
man of J. Neils Lumber company and
Dexter Bright, Montana representa-
tive of Timber Products Manufacture
ers association from management.
The code was drafted by the COM
mission following public hearings and
was adopted by Montana Industrial
Accident Commission. 1t will be strict
ly enforced and is expected to curtail
accident rates in the Montana logging
and lumber industry.

The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-07-22

Appearing before the Government
Operations Committee, headed by
Rep. William Dawson (Ill.), Cochran
accused Paul Grady, chairman of the
Task Force on Lending Agencies of
falsely testifying that farmer-owned
rural electric systems received loans
from REA to pay off previous loans,
and thus achieved their outstanding
loan repayment record.
THAT statement was absolutely
without basis of fact :" Cochran
declared, "and we think Mr.. Grady
was aware of this. If not, and there
is always the possibility that man
could have recommended the aboli-
ton of an agency without knowing
much about it j. If not, we submit
that this kind of ignorance raises
serious questions about the useful
ness of any recommendation which
this man or his staff may have made
regarding the rural electrification
program"
recommendation on REA and the
task force report, which served
as the basis for these recomenda-
tions, were "cut out of the whole
cloth of power company proPa-
ganda," Cochran charged.
Committee member Rep. Clarence
Brown (Ohio) chose not to question
National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association staff members as he con-
tinued his efforts to make an anti
Rural liberalization Administration
and pro-power company propaganda
loaded record in the Committee hear
ings.
Earlier, Brown had asked highly
technical questions of Wallace Camp
bell, of the Cooperative League of
of the USA, on REA interest rates
in relation to the governments fiscal
borrowing policies. Campbell, ex-
planning that he was not an expert
on such matters, referred Brown to
NRECA witnesses, who succeeded
him on the witness stand. However, |
Brown excused himself as Cochran |
and Ellis moved to the witness stand.
Cochran pointed out that REAs
loans bearing go inter
est rate total 1925 billion, while the
Treasury Department at compar-
able date had borrowed funds total
ng over $75 billion at interest rates
we'll below 29o. This, he said, shows
hat the charge of subsidized interest
rates ''leveled against REA in the
Hoover Commission reports" is hol-
ow propaganda. The rural electric
systems cannot be charged with sub
idized interest rates except by those
Who seek to justify such charges for
purposes and who, in
loing so, juggle the figures to suit
heir own charges
In contrast to REA's record,
Cochran pointed to the program
of subsidies to the private power
companies which since June 1851
has paved the way for $2.9 billion
in subsidies to private companies
and will, if their program an
nounced in April of this year is car
ried out, net the private companies
over SCI billion" II

likes Health
Plan Differs
Little From 81

President Eisenhower proposed a
health insurance program to the
Congress that differed little from
that put before the last session.
One additional feature was a re-
quest for authority for Federal in
surance of mortgage loans for con-
struction of health facilities. An
other recommended separate Fed
eral matching of state and local
expenditures for the medical care
of public assistance recipients.
The President again proposed q
Federal reinsurance service of pri-
vate companies, which would be
asked to extend experimental plans
to health insurance for farm fam
lilies, provide more protection
against costs of prolonged illness,
and insure low income families
against the costs of medical care
in the home or physicians office as
well as in hospitals.
The message did not spell out
how the system was to be made to
provide adequate health insurance
for 4low-income families.
Eisenhower also proposed aid for
nurses training, authority to make
grants for mental health projects,
and system of Government mort
gage insurance for private con-
struction of clinics, hospitals, nurs-
ing homes and other health facili-
ties.

Buying Power
Of j. s. Workers
Cut 1876 Percent

The average Federal worker has
taken 1876 percent cut in purchas-
ing power since 1889, the Senate
Post Office and Civil Service Com
mittee was told by James A. Camp
bell, president of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes.
Campbell called on the commit
tee to approve 10 percent pay in
crease for Federal workers and
added that an even higher increase
could be justified on the basis of
increased productivity by Govern
ment employees.
The AFGE president, whose un-
ion represents more than $4,000
Federal workers, said a Grade 5 en-
ploye could buy 1876 percent more
on his $4,000 salary in 1889 than
on his $3,410 salary today. In
higher grades, he said, the increase
needed to reach prewar buying
power exceeds 80 percent.
