Keeping the Record Straight

In speech at Butte May 18th, Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor Arnold
Olsen stated that in 1855, The Montana
Power net income was s8,70O,000 and
earnings per share were $500, and
implies that such earnings are excess
sive The figures he quotes are about
on par with his usual quotations and
he tells less than half the story. He
fails to state that the S8,700,000 earn
ings were before taxes, and that after
SO % federal income taxes were paid,
there was only enough left to declare
an annual dividend of $1.60 per share
on common stock at the annual stock
holders meeting on June 29th, 1866.
My authority for this is the report of
the meeting as published in the Great
Falls Tribune Juny 6, 1852 OF course
the government also takes about half
of that S1.60 dividend in income taxes
from the stockholders which would
leave them about soc per share, or less
than 2B on their investment of $4,000
per share. The Attorney General seems
to have an excessive corporation
complex which causes him to fire.

For the Editors information, may I
point out that the ratio of production
from wildcat oil wells in Montana, is
still the same as it has always been,
one producer to about eight dry holes. |
Also that the ratio of production from

proven areas, is still the same as al |
ways, about one dry hole for every

Confiscation is prohibited by the U. S.
Constitution which assures an owner
fair compensation. Also Section Il
of the Federal Power Act requires the
United States to pay the met invest
ment of the licensee" if and when any
project is acquired.
Mr.. Parkinson has also been misled
to believe that Hells Canyon Dam must
cost nine times as much as the three
Idaho Power Company dams combined
This is a serious error. The dam itself
is almost always less than half of the
cost of a project. The powerhouse and
equipment is the next biggest cost.
The remaining cost is for reservoir
clearing, purchase of land, etc.
1t is true a high dam generally
costs more than a series of low dams
in terms of just placing so many cubic
yards of concrete But there is much
economy in one construction job as
against three. The powerhouse is cheap
er for a high dam The reservoir and
other costs are about the same.
In the Hells Canyon case it looks like
the High Hells Canyon Dam will cost
from % to 500 more, produce about
900 more power and provide about
1850, 900 acre-feet of additional flood
control. This assumes Federal construc-
ton standards which are higher than
those of Idaho Power Company. Also
it is important to insure full develop
ment Of the river regardless of what
type dam is called for. Generally low
dams are satisfactory in downstream
areas, like Bonneville Dam.
The Federal High HeIls Canyon Dam
would provide the Idaho Power Com
pany with more power and cheaper
power for it's customers. Sincerely

The last few hours of the primary
campaign are tense for those who
have been under the gun for the past
couple of months, and nobody hopes
more than me that they all take a
rest for about three months, at least,
before getting into swing in the gen.
eral election campaign.
I'd like to wash my windows and
finish a dress.
And compared to the candidates
we have had it easy.
Margaret Olsen says she and the
girls see so little of Arnold they eat
in the dining room when he is home
long enough to have dinner with them.
The last few days though are hard
on all candidates. They think of
whether they should have done this
or shouldn't have done that, and hold
their breath waiting for last minute
developments.
The Democrat race for Governor
has been hard fought, and for the
most part has been on issues such as
oil, gambling, etc.
The unfortunate thing that has
happened so far was bringing Sam
into the campaign. Material
put out by a regional group that men
toned Sans name for purely docu-
mentary purposes has been used to
ncite emotions in an unfortunate
manner by a man who was not Sans
friend when he lived.
Olsen and Sam Mitchell were great
friends. They were more than that.

And it is difficult for the poor

does so at normal retirement age).

too low, we are sorry to report; it

If the Cold War Ends?

Supposing all cold-war problems
end what would happen then? What
would we do with q couple million
soldiers, scattered all over the world?
would we put them to useful work?
Imagine all these men home, com
peting in a crowded labor market;
armament plants and defense works
scuttled, and the workers laid off,
could our present set-up stand up under
the change? It's anybody's guess what
would happen: Possibly a panic of un-
surpassed severity, under our present
social set-up.
There would be a mighty strong and
well organized group to fight against
it. All the armament makers, with
their millions of workers, all the de-
Tense plants and allied industries
would be deeply affected. 1t would put
US under such an industrial strain,
such as we had never experienced be-
fore. 1t is anybody's guess how we
could come through. The chances are:
We are not quite up to meet the chal-
lenge, unless a miracle comes to our
rescue.
1t would create % problem, such as
we never had before. With an over
production staring us in the face now
and no solution in sight, what could we
do with additional millions added to our
labor force? Could our Industrial or
social system stand the strain? 1t
would take an Einstien to figure it all
out. We are in a Utter suspense
right now: Not because we are threat
ened from without, but because the
policy makers see no way out of the
mess we are in. Seems like they are
begged down. A. E. ANDERSON,

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
BY GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

took great pride in the young At
torney General and his political ca
reer. He encouraged Olsen and gave
him the benefit of his age, wisdom
and political experience.
During his last years in office Sam
Mitchell did not travel alone. He de-
pended many times on Arnold Olsen
to get him where he had to go. The
last campaign Olsen saw to it Sam
was able to go many places he might
not otherwise have gone.
The Olsen-Mitchell association was
no one way street. 1t was good to
watch. They respected each other.
1t is regretable that Sam MitchelPs
name should come into the campaign
to be used against someone he loved
as much as he did Arnold Olsen
when he can't defend himself or his
friend.
If Sam Mitchell were alive today
the documentary material put out by
the regional group would still have
been printed, but the people who are
trying to turn it against Arnold Olsen
would not have opened their heads.
How much is a man worth?
There seem to be a lot of yard
the measurement isn't
easy. Do you mean financially? Spir-
itually?
Some of us think we are worth, fl
nancially, lot more than we get
then again sometimes we wonder if
we were paid our worth if we would |
starve to death.
However we may measure our
worth, there are few of us who at
one time or another don't wish we
could have some of the much toted
that little more money
5 supposed to bring. By and large
however, most of US live just as much
)ver our income as we can get away
With and waste little time worrying
lbout the man with lot of money.
This rather philosophical disserta-
ion has been going through my mind
or several days. 1t is the outgrowth
# the present political campaign
where money is playing such an i'm
'ortant part.
