PACKERS MONOPOLY
.LASHED BY WITNESS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The big
Four" meat packers-Armour, Swift,
Wilson and Cudahy-processed half
of all livestock slaughtered with fed
eral inspection in the nation, Edwin
F. Forbes, president of the Western
States Meat Packers Association, told
a Senate Anti-Monopoly subcommit-
tee.
He said the 10 major packers which
do II per cent of the nations meat
processing constitute lone of the
greatest concentrations of economic
power and real monopolies :"
Forbes said the big meat concerns
expansion into sideline fields makes
it difficult for smaller competitors
to compete. Meat could be sold at
loss by the big Four" and the losses
could be made up through big profits
on other products ranging from soap,
ice cream, margarine and drugs, he
said.

1856 CONSERVATION PAYMENTS
ARE NOW Being MADE

The first group of applications for
payment earned under the 1856 Agri-
cultural Conservation Program have
been approved, Leo S. Kolstad, State
Agricultural Sterilization and Con-
servation administrative officer, has
announced.
The group included SO applications
from farmers and ranchers in Broad
water, Daniels and Garfield counties.
Their applications have been forward
ed to the United States Disbursing
office for payment.
Under the ACProgram, the federal
government reimburses land opera

Power Company Ads
Stray Far From Truth

dams in the Pacific Northwest pay
for themselves through the sale of
electricity and hence do not "cost"
the taxpayers any money.
Eventually, he said, there will re-
suit "a substantial profit to the Unit
ed States Treasury"
Neuberger emphasized that power
was not the only consideration in
building the dams. He said:
RISK FLOODS FOR PROFITS?
''The three low dams of the Idaho
Power Company will impound one
million acre-feet of storage for flood
control, as compared with 3,800,000
acre-feet by the high (government)
dam. Is it worthwhile to risk grave
floods to enrich the Idaho Power Com
pany?"
He added that the government dam
would also have certain beneficial
effects on fish and wildlife conserva-
tion and on navigation. The low dams
would not bring these benefits, he
said.
Neuberger attacked the truth of the
ads basic figure, the S4b0, 0,oOO,OOO
amount which the ad stated the fed
eral dam would cost.
The freshman senator from Oregon
said that the official estimate of the
United States Bureau of Reclamation
put the cost of the federal dam at only
$308, 0,000-or $157, 100000 less
than stated in the ad
The senator said that even if the
private company built its dam, fed
eral funds would be used to cover
much of the construction costs. He
revealed that the Idaho Power Com
pany "has applied for an accelerated
tax write-off of about $40 million"
which he called IAN interest-free loan
from the Treasury"

Power Company
Given Rebuff
By Crow Tribe

HARDIN-The Grow Indians re-
fused to make motion at their tribal
meeting Saturday to present a reso-
luton for granting of right of way
on a portion of the area of Yellow
tail Dam and reservoir site, for ease
ment to construct a power line and
substation.
The permission was requested by
Stephen DeMers, a representative of
the Pacific Power & Light and Mon
tana Power companies.
DeMers was refused the permission,
when no member of the tribal council
would even discuss the matter.
The only time Yellowtail Dam was
brought up at Saturday nights meet
ing, was when several members OBJ
jected to the proposed resolution on
the grounds if easement was granted,
it might interfere with further nego-
tiations with the Bureau of Reclama-
tion for right of way for Yellowtail
Dam.
Burt w. Kronmiller, Hardin, tribal
attorney, reported on a tax case which
has been authorized by the tribe. He
said that he had been advised by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs that in the
July % bulletin, there will be a case
stating the Internal Revenue Service
cannot require Indians to pay income
tax or tax from use of trust prop

Wage earners on Montana payrolls
in commerce and industry numbered
16S,S00 at mid-June, the highest June
employment ever recorded In Mon
tana, the unemployment compensa-
tion commission reports.
Seasonal activities, says Chadwick
H. Smith, chairman of the commits
sion, accounted for $500 increase
in employment over May, and 1000
above the previous highest June, IN
1855. At the same time there re-
NAMED 4,700 applicants for work at
offices of the employment service,
indicating substantial, but decreas-
ing, pool of labor from which more
employment will be drawn.
Lumber and logging increased its
employment 1900, May to June,
Smith said. Construction contractors
had 1000 more on their payrolls than
the month before, while service in
dustries had increased 1,10O and
trade establishments 90 DIN their
employment. Seasonal activities of
government, particularly in forest
and highway work, added 500 in June,
transportation and utilities 800, fl
nance and insurance 100, miscellane
Gus manufacturing 200. Mining had
decline of 100, due to metal miners
transferring to outside work for the
summer.
The 1000 increase in employment
from a year ago, Smith said, is an
emphatic indication of the healthy
economic conditions in the state. Con-
struction has 500 more on its pay
rolls than year ago, federal, state
and local government agencies are

ing industry is using 400 more work |

tors for a portion of the expense they
incur in carrying out practices de-
signed to conserve soil and water re-
sources. Included in the practices for
which payment has been approved are
seeding of legumes and grasses for
soil conservation and protection,
channel clearance for streambank
protection, reorganization of irriga-
ton systems, construction of stock
water and irrigation dams, leveling
land for more efficient use of irriga-
ton water and to prevent erosion,
cross fencing to protect established
vegatative cover, and installation of
drainage systems to dispose of eX-
cess water. Kolstad added that this
is only portion of the practices
available for producers to use in solv-
ing their conservation problems.
Payments for construction work
performed can now be made as rapid
y as farmers report the work is done
and the necessary checking is COM
pieted. Producers are urged to re-
port completion Of practice as soon
as it is finished so that the county
ASC office may submit the completed
for payment.
Kolstad also pointed out that pro-
iucers may still apply for cost-shar-
ing under the 1856 program to carry
out needed conservation work. Ap-
plication may be made at the county
ASC office and muSt he made before
work on the practice is begun.

"Right now, the increasing costs
at the University units are being met
by almost continuous increases in
fees paid by students.
"This is the way in which private
colleges are operated, but it should
not be done at public institution
like our State University.
eff long continued, this system
will mean two things: 1t will mean
that the students and their parents
will be forced to pay an outrageous
price for education, and it will also
mean that people of moderate
means will be unable to educate
their children at all.
''The fundamental law of Montana
was designed to prevent this situation.
When our University was set up, the
law provided that the tuition should
be forever free. This statute has now
been practically nullified by various
devices which obey the letter but
violate the spirit Of our basic law.

could be enjoyed by all, and the state
could have a plentiful supply of peo-
pie trained in the various sciences and
professions.
''I believe we should return to these
first principles, and make college ed
ucation available to all, rather than
just to those able to pay an exorbi-
tana cost for it," Olsen concluded.

sponsored by the Flathead County

NATION WILL BE TAKING LONG LOOK
At FOOD STAMP PLAN

WASHINGTON, D. Congress
and the nation will take another good
look at the food stamp plan as a
means of using farm surpluses to i'm
prove diets Of low income groups.
A section of the 1856 Farm Act di-
rects the Secretary of Agriculture to
make study of the plan and report
back to Congress within 80 days after
the act was signed MAY 28). Since
Congress will probably have ad-
journed by that time, the new 85th
Congress will have to act on the re-
port.
What happens to it will depend
largely on who gets elected in No
vember. Democrats have been favor
able to the plan, Republicans oppose
it.
Food stamp bills were introduced
in the last session of Congress by
Senators Kerr, Kefauver, Humphrey,
Aiken and others. They were referred
to the Agricultural Committees of
House and Senate where opposition
by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Benson prevented approval. Benson
said his department is not relief
agency, food stamp plans interfere
with profits Of professors and retail
ers, and present surpluses can be
stored until needed.
RAISES FARM INCOME
To bypass the Agricultural Com
mittees, Sen. Robert Kerr amended
his food stamp plan to the social Sc
curity bill, HR 1925, but the amend
ment was killed by the Senate Finance
Committee.
Most of the proposed food stamp
plans provide for issuance of certifi-
Gates to needy people, up to 10 a
month, redeemable at grocery stores
for food products designated as "sur-
plus" by the Secretary Of Agriculture.

Since it is normally group of con-

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LDNS)-
Power companies are trying to deceive
the public through misleading adver-
tisements in national magazines, ac-
cording to Sen. Richard l.. Neuberger
(D-Ore.).
The page-and-a-third magazine lay
outs support the claims of a private
power company against those of the
government in damming the Snake
River, in Hells Canyon, Oregon.
The ads defend the company's plans
to build three, small, single-purpose
dams across the river in place of the
governments proposed single, large,
multi-purpose dam. The issue has
been a center of heated controversy
for several years.
Neuberger described as fraudulent
the statement made in the ads that if
the private company, the Idaho Power
Company, is allowed to build its small
dams the nations taxpayers will save
$465 million.
He said each of the ads includes a
table purporting to show how much
federal taxes the taxpayers of each
state will save.
The shares of states range from
$68, 8,700,00O for New York to $780,
600 each for Vermont, Wyoming and
Nevada.
In a recent Senate speech, Neu-
berger vehemently attacked the con-
clusions presented in ads, which have
been placed in at least a dozen ma
tional magazines by an organization
called, "America's Independent Elec-
trio Light and Power Companies"
HITS GOLDWATER
The Oregon Democrat also criti-
cized Sen. Barry NJ. Goldwater (R-
Ariz.) for inserting the so-called tax
saving table in the Congressional Rec
ord without revealing its interested"
source.
Neuberger said that the govern
nent's proposed Hells Canyon Dam
would be operated as part of the Fed
raj Bonneville Power Administration,
which he said has returned so much |
money to the treasury that it is $68 |
