Accuses NaugIe of Fast
Party Change
Dear Editor:

| Dear Editor:
was much amused to read in the
various newspapers last week that Mr.
c. e. Naugle of Bigfork announced he
would be a candidate on the Republi-
can ticket for State Superintendent of
| Public instruction in the coming pri-
mary election.
In view of the fact that Mr. Naugle
had privately stated that he would be
a candidate for that office on the
Democratic ticket, it seems strange. In
fact he was introduced as Democrat
at Flathead meetings.
| feel that the voters should be in
formed.
On the evening of October 4, 1855,
Mrs. Walter Manning, secretary of the
Democratic central committee, and Mrs.
Freda Shanahan, a representative of
the Flathead Democratic Womens Club,
were at my home in the LaSalle dis
trict.
Mr.. c. e. Naugle arrived with an
other Bigfork teacher, and stated that
he planned to file for the state office
of superintendent of Public Instruc
tion on the Democratic ticket. He in
quired as to what we thought his
chances to be elected were.
We informed him that if he got the
nomination in the primary election, we
would do all we could for him.
He then said that he would like to
address the Flathead Democratic Wom-
ems meeting, and get acquainted.
We informed the Democratic Wo-
mems club officers of Mr.. Naugle's
wish, and they agreed to ask him to
speak.
Mr.. Naugle spoke at the Flathead
Democratic Women's club no-host din
ner at Frenchy's Chinese Gardens, Dec.
6. 1t was a general talk on education.
Mr. Naugle was also present at the
Democratic work meeting called by
Jack Toole, State Democratic chairman,
held in Kalispell at the Temple Tea
Room Dec. IA.
I believe that every person has the
right to change his political affilia-
tions but l do not think it should be
an overnight occurrence.
1t would seem that Mr.. Naugle is a
political oppOrtunist Apparently be
came to the conclusion that he would
have a better chance for the particular
stat office if he filed as a Republican,
rather than as q Democrat which he
apparently was up until last week.

Montana's WiIdIife

In a previous issue we called to your
attention sodium fluoroactate 1880, the
most potent poison known to mankind.
Recently there has been poisoned in
Nissoula some 81 dogs and the find
fngs are 1880. The press now informs
that DOT spray control projects are
responsible for the killing of fish in
upper Yellowstone river drainage. Our
Fish and Game Commission seems much
concerned over the loss of fish due to
DOT spraying being done by the fed
eral government.
We believe that If DOT spray is
causing fish loss all possible efforts
should be made to correct the condi-
ton. Most every sane person has
horror of poison.
Our state law provides that every
person purchasing poison shall sign a
register as to the amount, kind, and for
what purpose the poison is to be used.
The following are some of the poisons
for which you must sign register: Car
bolic acid, Cyanides, strychnine, ar
senic, chloroform.
Today the Federal Fish and Wildlife
Service, self-proclaimed guardians of
the states wildlife, is broadcasting
deadly 1850 on public and private lands
without restraint.
Previous legislatures have had bills
introduced to curb this wholesale de-
struction by poison but to no avail
for the Fish and Game Commission has
this to say: The Commission has an
obligation to the sportsmen Of the
state =. We have always believed
that, but the question, What have they
done to protect the wiIdIife of the state
from the Federai's deadly 1850.
MISSOULIAN. 16-56, Seven sta
tions where 1880 poison has been placed
were announced =. by Game Warden
Courtney Taylor" These stations are
in Ravalli county; last year there were
IL stations
To this poison campaign the State
Fish and Game Commission has allotted
$4,000 of taxpayers money for the
years 1861. The poison is where any
meat eating animals have ready ac-
cess; a person can take a portion of |
it to Missoula or any place they so |
desire We suggest Missoulians' take |
% look at federal distributed poison, in |
Ravalli county, perhaps their source
of supply.
If the Commission is sincere 1t
will withdraw it's $4,000 grant; get |
out of the poison COMMUNICATIONS

So, by the bill we find the Secretary,
and he alone, determines substantially
improved recreational areas" fees and

pended. The appropriation, $5,50O0O0,

amount of fees and charges" collected,

Dear Sir:
Here's What i Think About the OIL
Debate Challenge.
Since some who oppose the Attorney
Generals view on the oil issue feel
they have the right to challenge him
to a debate, / suppose / would have
the right, too, as private citizen and
one who is opposed to the Governors
views on oil issues, to challenge the
Governor to a debate. 1t would make
as much sense as the latest action pre-
scented by Ted Sorenson and LaRue
Smith, Sr.
I'm not the only person in the state
who disagrees with the Governor so
he would have to agree to accept the
challenge of every Ted, LaRue and
Harry.
However, the governor will think
I am not Il responsible person to
present the view of the opposition
30 i appoint Attorney General Olsen
to my representative in the debate
and i will be an interested spectator
and listener.
1t is deplorable that we have a man
holding the highest office in our state
who is either not capable of presenting
his views intelligently to the people
or is afraid of alternating his wealthy,
selfish supporters. HUGO MUST BE
HEAVED, via the ballot if Montana
not special interest, is to prosper. Yours
very sincerely.-CLEO BUTLER, Boze-

SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN
AGAINST GAMBLING


Under his administration, the At
torney Generals office has been very
active. Olsen's career has been
marked by a successful campaign
against gambling which resulted in
the Supreme Courts decision out
having slot machines and punch
boards. This action returned nearly
$50 million into legitimate trade
channels in the state. He has de-
Tended the people against "exorbitant
rate increases granted the telephone
and gas utilities and railroads, and
he has constantly defended the peo-
pies interest in the school oil lands.
Montana born and raised, he at
tended Butte schools and the Mon
tana School of Mines. He received
his law degree at the Law School Of
Montana State University at Mis-
soula, where as a student he was
president of the Law School Associa-

Olsen is a son of Norwegian immi-
grant parents. His father, Albert

Cheap Government Power
(Conclusion-Part I'D

| Both the Montana Power Company
and the Bureau of Reclamation follow
| the so-called postage stamp" concert
! of electric rates under which rates to
particular classes of customers are
the same regardless of the distance
the power is transmitted. The Montana
Power Co. rate schedule for REAs is
identical with the rate schedule of
the Bureau except for the fact that
the Bureaus schedule contains mini
mum demand charge provision which
is not found in the Montana Power
schedule. This provision could make
the Bureaus rate slightly higher but
in no event would the Bureau rate be
lower Generally speaking, however,
an REA with a 500 load factor would
pay 5h mills per kilowatt-hour for
energy as a customer of either the
Company or the Bureau. ct is import
ant to note that the load factor, wheth-
err above or below 500, causes sub
stantial apparent fluctuation in the
rate charged by both the government
and private utilities, which may be
little confusing to the general publ1c)
The Bureau of Reclamation arrives
at it's base rate by charging mills
at the us bar, plus 2A mills to cover
the average cost of delivery over both
government and private utility lines
anywhere in the state. The private
utilities deliver energy to REAs within
their service areas TOT an average
price of 81 mills This is the amount
paid by the Fergus Electric Coop for
power delivered at Moore for example. |
Distribution of revenue is about as
follows:
Gross Receipts .......-..... 81 mills |
Cost of energy at federal
dam bus bar .......-..........- 2.5 mills |
Taxes, 800 of gross receipts 1.5 mills |
Line loss, 100 miles q so $500. GA mills
Operation & maintenance
Dividends e. "fat profits" OF mills
TOTAL 81 mills
From the foregoing, it is quite OBJ
vious that the slogan, Cheap Gov ;.
eminent Power, is untrue and without
foundation, at least as far as Montana
is concerned because private utilities
rates average somewhat cheaper. The
federal, state and local governments
are by far the largest participants in
the profits of the private utilities any
way. They take at least 1870 of the
gross profits in taxes, For every
cent the stockholders get to keep, the
governments get cents without hav-
ing a single dollar invested.*-E j.

Low, Planners Ask
Agency to Beoutify Troct

The Maryland-Nation Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion, faced with a shortage Of
park funds, has asked the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission to pay for seeding and
identifying some 40 acres of the
planners land the utility has
been using for a sanitary land
fill.
The tract is on the east side
of the Anacostia River below
Bladensburg. The landfill will
be filled in April, the utility re-
ported yesterday during joint
meeting of the two bi-county
agencies in Hyattsville.
Carlton E. Pyles, chairman OF
the planning agency, said the
sanitary commission should be
able to pay for the planting with
money the WSSC has saved, but
otherwise would have spent on
an incinerator.
T. Earle Bourns, chairman of
the sanitary commission, said he
would ask the utility treasurer

to report on the land fills ex-
penseS and income before COM
uniting his agency to any of the
requested work.
Along the same line, Mr.. Pyles
also requested the transfer to
his agency of land within park
lines and acquired by the WSSC
during construction of the Ana
costa River flood control prof.
ect. Maintenance costs would be
met by the WSSC. Mr.. Bourne
said he would refer the request
to the commissions counsel.
A drawn-out dispute on an
other section of the flood con-
troll project was settled yester-
day when the WSSC agreed to
allocate $4,000 for the paving
of a one-half mile stretch OF
Tanglewood drive from the 510C
block of Riverdale road to De-
catur street, in Edmonston. The
base and gravel for the 16-foot
