PRESIDENT TO RUN

Senator William F. Know
land Of California, Republic
an leader of the Senate, said
today he expected President

elected.
He spoke In the light of
the successful operation per-

The California Senator
was an active candidate for
the presidential nomination
before President Eisenhower
announced February 20 he
would stand for reelection.
Senator Knowland then de-
clared he would support the
President for reelection
without reservation.
Senator Knowland de-
clined to speculate in any
way on the problem which
would confront the Repub-
lican Party should the Pres

to say what his own course
would be.

Benson Praised
On Soil Bank
BY the Associated Press

Several Republican and Demo-
cratic Senators today applauded
Secretary Of Agriculture Benson's
decision to make soil bank pay
ments this year for crop reduc.
tons due to drought, flood OF
other natural causes.
But Chairman Ellender Of the
Senate Agriculture Committee
said the action smells of poll
tics"
The approving Senators said
Mr.. Benson was wise in revers-
ing yesterday an earlier stand
against use Of up to $1.2 billion
in annual benefits for nature
induced crop reductions, as well
as for voluntary trimming Of
acreage planted to basic crops
already in surplus supply.
"I'm very happy that the
secretary has taken this posi-
Ition," said Senator Carlson, Re-
publican Of Kansas. ut viii be
very helpful to many farmers in
Kansas and the Midwest and is
exactly what Congress intended
when we passed the soil bank
program"
Similar statements came from
Senators Kerr, Democrat of Ok
lahoma, Case, Republican Of
South Dakota, Mundt, Republi-
can Of South Dakota and Young.
Republican Of North Dakota.
But in a separate interview,
Senator Ellender disputed Mr..
Benson's ruling, saying it goes
against the principle Of the soil
bank"
The theory Of it was to pay
farmers to reduce actual mo-
duction, not give them credit
or relief" Senator Ellender said.
Il guess the politicians have been
working on him. At least, this
smells Of politics to me-"
Mr.. Benson stirred congress
Slonal ire Monday when he told
an audience at Beaver Dam,
Wis, that the soil bank plan was
not intended for drought or dis
aSter relief.

or no development, as the settlers
bought and sold the claims for con-
solidation into workable farm and
ranch units.
Irrigation development of some of
these lands came early, starting in the
early 1905 in the Gallatin valley, and
soon after this in the Townsend area.
Such irrigation development was of
necessity the kind that could be done
with limited capital and enterprise.
The sales of such lands with some
limited irrigation were during the
1905 at prices averaging around $40
per acre or 81 800 per 16O-acre claim.
This is a spread of only $3.50 per acre
between the sale price of the irrigated
land and the native forage land. This
price spread probably wasn't much
more than the developmental cost, and
this reflects the fact that this early
farm economy of these valleys was
that of pioneering self-sufficiency, pri-
marily. The only commercial market
was local, to the mining camps.
One Acre Per Cow
The valley lands that remained as
native forage lands and that had an
average sale price in the early days
of $3.50 per acre were generally the
best of the livestock forage lands. 1
have in recent years had occasion to
appraise some of these as parts Of
present-day ranch units. They are lands
with range grazing capacity of one
acre per cow-month of use, or lone
acre per a.um" lands. This indicates
that the earliest Montana market value
of the year-round Home for a cow''
in realty was $50. This is approx
mately tenth of the today's Montana
average, in my estimation.
During the 1905, Montana and other
western land markets stagnated after
the business panic of 1873. The result
ing unsettled years greatly slowed the
nations course of westward expansion
and development. Renewed activity
came in the late 1905, with the build
ing of the Northern Pacific definitely
in prospect and with the rapid expan-
sion of Montana range cattle opera
tons, due in part to the trail movement
of cattle to Montana from Texas.
Probably the effects of the Texas cat
tie upon Montana's rural economy have
been overemphasized. While the OPEN
range beef bonanza speculative bub-
bic grew and busted following the
disastrous winter of 1887, sound ranch
economy was well under way, based
upon adequate land ownership, man.
agement and development. The early
deeds records show this.
Surprisingly Constant
My analysis of the early Montana
land sales indicates rather clearly that
Montana land prices remained surpriS-
ingly constant throughout the pioneer
ing years 1865 to 1900 Economic
change came rapidly after 1900, with
the start of homestead settlement and
with the accelerated national rate OF
population growth and gain in the ma

closely integrated with the us. ma

now and in the future the dominant

Managing Ranch or Farm
History Indicates Trends
In Montana Land Values
By MONT H. SAUNDERSON

DONG some WOIh Ol q 4dllo NcluSA1AOA
problem that concerns the values of
certain Montana lands as of his
torical date. Certain of the materials
and analyses that have grown out OF
this work appear to me to be of some
significance and interest in relation to
our present economic trends as they
may influence land values. The future
course of land values is of course a
guess, but we have to make such a
guess anytime that we make term
contract for the ownership or use of
land.
The markets for Montana lands APP
peared quite early, in Montana history,
i'll the western Montana mountain val
leys. Lands for agricultural uses there
were owned, bought and sold even be-
fore there was Montana Territory.
In the Darkroom files of the Gallatin
county clerk and recorders office there
is an aged and dog-eared record book
with the designation 'Ranche Claims
that bears the date 1862 and the i'm
print of the Dacotah Territory.
The lands of the Gallatin county and
of other of the western Montana val
leyS were at that time coming into pa
tent through presumption claims for
rural settlement. Through the 1905,
hundreds of such claims were filed.
The legal descriptions of these claims
were by meteS and bounds, largely,
prior to 1870. There were few if any
of the official township and section
surveys in Montana prior to that date.
Boom Times
In taking the 16O-acre claims under
the land claim presumption act the set
tiers had to pay the Governments mini
mum sale price of SIPS an acre for
the land. 1t was possible after 1862 to
acquire 16O-acre homesteads under the
homestead act without having to pay
anything for the land, but for various
reasons the settlers did not avail them
selves of that in these early years.
demonstrating the land had some time
requirements, for Proving up" and
one can sense in the early and thriving
market for these lands feeling of
optimism, even of Boom times in
the western Montana valleys.
The mining developments provided a
good local outlet for agricultural pro.
duce, there was talk of the building of
the Northern Pacific railroad through
Montana and there was stream of
prospective settlers from the Border
states" who wished to get away from
the unhappiness of the ''War between
the StateS.''
Through the 1905, the valleys of the
Gallatin, the Madison, the Ruby. the
upper Missouri and the upper Smith
River had considerable amount of
agricultural settlement. Ranch claims
were taken by the hundreds. and the
sales of such claims are sufficient in
number to determine land values Of
that early date rather definitely.
$3.50 an Acre
Through the decade of the 1905 the
going price" for these claims wa,
$500, or $3.50 per acre. These were
lands taken for agriculture and stocl
raising. not for mining. Many, but no
all, of these lands later came under
irrigation development, and some O
them were so developed rather early
A good many of these claims were
however, taken for livestock grain,
use, and have always remained in sucI
use.
