The people's voice., 1956-07-27
Voice Must Help Promote
Funds For University

want to commend the editorial in
The Voice of July 13, on the need OF
additional revenue for the various
University units and the sources OF
revenue available for this purpose.
More revenue is going to be needed
for our school foundation program and
a lot of other things as well, as for
the University. 1t is not going to be
enough for us to just oppose the sales
tax. We have got to point out other
sources of revenue and convince the
in their application than any sales tax.
1t is up to THE VOICE to do this.
Also. it is going to be necessary to ex-
plain what our school foundation pro-
gram is and why we need it.
Two years ago Lake county elected
two represe entatives to our legislature,
one a Democrat and one a Republican.
According to the report you gave of
their voting, the Democrat was given
93q5 and the Republican exactly zero.
A lot of people here voted for both of
them, but few, l think, understand that
they Cancelled each other out in their
votes.
Now this issue needs to be clearly
stated so that the voters may be in
formed on the question when it comes
time to vote.
Other issues such as the taxation of
clarified also.
Please keep up the good work. THE
VOICE is the only medium we have to
give us this information.
I trust that Arnold Olsen and Miss
Condor are going to help to clarity
these issues.-JOHN McGUFFEY, Ro-
nan, Montana.

Norwood Dodges The Issue

The Good Book says that the way
of the transgressor is hard. However
! speaking from my own experience, ]
would say that the way of the yirtuous
is darn sight harder. All I know is
what l read in the papers, much Of it
| in The Peoples Voice, that Independent
newspaper that will print both sides
of a controversy even if it Stays them
sometimes to do so.
IN the June 1st issue of The Voice,
Mr.. Gus Norwood stated that the Hells
Canyon Dam would provide about O.
$50, 900 acre feet of flood central waters
or live storage, over and above the
1 100000 acre feet dead storage re-
Quired to permanently maintain head
for power, or at least that is what
assumed he meant. I also assumed that
he knew what he was talking about
so I quoted the same figures in my
reply in the June 29th issue of The
Voice The Editor chided me for quoting
the figure as being Incorrect but for
some reason did not see fit to chide
Mr.. Norwood for doing the same thing
Mr.. Norwood again quoted the same
figures in the July 18th issue of The
Voice, so am getting quite confused.
He also stated that no so year power
site license could be terminated until
1871, but failed to accept my challenge
to explain why the government a few
years ago in the late forties repossessed
the old Canyon Ferry power site at the
expiration of it's so year permit which
it refused to renew, thus destroying
the multimillion dollar dam and power
plant without reimbursement of one
cent to it's owners, or customers who
had paid for it.
Mr.. Norwood makes a great point Of
providing water for the Clark ston
Asotin, and Nez Perce dams, and then in
the next breath admits that they have
never been authorized and exist only
in his ina magination.-E. J. PARKINSON,
Great Falls.

The Eisenhower Idolatry

Up to Q o'clock of the night of the
election in 1948, by the press, the poll
sters, the wise men on radio broadcasts,
by the bettors on elections, the Texas
Oil Barons, General Motors, Du Pont
Chemical Co, Dewey was overwhelm-
ingly elected president.
The same crowd assume that if Mr.
Eisenhower's health were normal there
would be no chance for any Democratic
nominee this fall.
Mr.. Eisenhower owes his first cleo
tion to one event: The disgust of in
telligent voters with the Democrats s
for having started tn Korean War. Be-
cause that was ended soon after Mr..
Eisenhower took office the ignorant
think that he stopped it. Macarthur
stopped it. He divided his forces in the
face of far superior veteran Chinese
army: The same blunder that the Sag
untines made when Hannibal destroyed
them; that Sheridan made in the Shen-
andoah Valley, when Jackson routed
him. We were beaten. The lines were

ticular the preference clause in the
federal program.
The most fantastic thing Mr.. Raft
disclosed was the cost of the books
that were prepared especially for the
Interior Department. There were 30
printed in the original order, and
God help us, they were hand-painted
The cost of these SO hand-painted
books was $2,916.94. This incredible
figure included the cost of statistical
work prepared by Electric Bond and
Share Co., but did not include the
time or expense "a couple of trips
to New York; for Mr.. Raft.
One of the committee members said
what difference does it make how
much they paid for it. If they got
stuck, they got stuck
Such an attitude-and so character
istic-of some thinking. Heavens to
Betsy, we pay for that stuff in our
utility bills.
The book was paid for by five
Rocky Mountain Utility Companies,
so Montana's share isn't as big as it
looks, and if it is as lovely as the
hand-painting angle would indicate,
we can at least know the compilation
and credit for the book goes to our
own Montana Power Company boys,
according to the testimony of Colin
Raft.
That should warm the cookies of
your heart.
Mr.. Raft told the committee the
of the book was to present
to the Interior Department factual
about the problem which
the private utilities thought they saw
existing.
He couldn't tell the committee too
much about the background of the

static The war was ended before Mr..
Eisenhower took office.
Is that lucky event and his visit Of
peace, to Geneva about all that is bene-
ficial in the tenure Of Mr.. Eisenhower?
Perhaps so. The public debt has in
creased. 1t is more than the assessed
value of all the property in the United
States. The Off-Shore Oil, given away.
might have by royalties entirely paid
the interest on it and much of the
principal.
His men have tried to give to the
Idaho Power Co. the vast Hells Canyon
power site. They may have succeeded.
But for the outcry, he would have
broken the Tennessee Valley Authority
by tn Dixon Yates swindle. He tried
hard.
Taft Hartley law is the sword OF
Damocles hanging by a hair over the
head of Labor. He promised to amend
it. The hair will break in any depres-
sion The seeming rise in wages is
naught. 1t is cancelled out by less buy
ing power Of inflated currency.
The farmers and stockmen are going
broke-but they usually vote Repub-
lican until the Sheriff sells them out.
Some of their leaders however are
reading the handwriting on the wall.
There has arisen among intellectuals
a dislike of Attorney General Brownell
and the FBI.
Mr.. Dulles is for rearming Germany.
A New zealander said-"Russia has no
need of an H-Bomb. She has John Fost
er Dulles to make enemies for the
United States"
Mr.. Nixon lacks magnetism. Many
think a vote for Eisenhower is actually
a vote for Nixon. Dewey also lacked
personal appeal.
Perhaps If the ticket Is Eisenhower
and Nixon they will be elected, until
2 o'clock of tn night of the election,
like Dewey was.-LOWNDES MAURY,
