parents with a request to
reconsider.
Cash surrender demands
are a very small item in the
Junior Orders routine of
events, but were it just one
case per year that one would
be once too often.
We therefore make every
effort to explain to the par
ents directly or through the
good offices of the local nest
manager the adviseability of
retaining the coverage.
About That Motor Boat
We point out, as we do
here, that if it is a case of
needed cash that can be OBJ
tanned as a loan against that
certificate. BY this action the
needed funds are obtained
and the coverage is kept in
force.
If the monthly dues become
an unbearable burden there
are, Of course, a number of
solutions - all short of ter
mination and loss protection
The face amount can be re.
duced; a more expensive En-.
dowment contract can be ex.
changed for a 20 Pay or the
member can be placed on
reserve.
We had a case, just re-
Gently, where a conscien-
tious nest manager went to
the home of a Junior to at
tempt to persuade the par
ents not to cash surrender

tificate. e,a
The father however was
adamant in his demand fol
surrender for he needed the
money-to buy a motor boat
Parents Made Mistake
He received his $214 sur
render value and thereby ter
minated the child's insurance
protection. He could have re-
ceived 900 of that as a loar
and kept the certificate ir
force.
At maturity that certifi-
cate would have offered the
following options $1,000
in cash and cessation of
membership OR - $649
cash and a fully paid up
certificate for S1OOO-OR,
no immediate cash pay
ment but a fully paid up
certificate for $3.50.

that the biggest loser is the

advantage to hold on to that

POWER C0.0PS FIGHT
40oo RATE hike

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Missouri and Oklahoma power coop
leaders are fighting a 400 increase
that Southwestern Power Admins
tration wants to impose on their sys-
tens.
They say the increase is unneces-
sary to retire SPAS investment in
hydroelectric dams and meet it's op-
Grating expenses. They charge that
the $1,750,000 extra they'll pay each
year will result in a subsidy to COM
mercial utilities who buy SPA dump"
power at less than its cost of pro-
duction.
SPAS administrator, Doug S
Wright, said this was true. "In fact"
he told a congressional committee,
they'll doing it already" Wright
responsibility for the rate
increase, and Interiors assistant sec
rotary, Fred G. Aandahl, admitted
that he had personally directed the
higher rates.
The issue revolves around two
Questions: How much of SPAS in
vestment should be charged to flood
control? How long will SPA dams
continue to produce power?
Coop leaders feel that Interior Of
ficials have given new answers to
both questions which amount "to
changing the rules while the game
is going on"

CANNON CRITICIZES PROPOSED DEFICIENCY
APPROPRIATION FOR UNIVERSITY UNITS

1T is generally agreed the most
critical issue facing Montana today is
the school financing problem" former
Lieut.. Governor Paul Cannon, stated
last week, in voicing criticism of the
proposed million-dollar deficiency
appropriation for the various uni
versity units.
However" Cannon continued,
"the recent episode whereby the six
presidents of the university system
proposed their own solution of
this pressing problem is indeed I'M
precedented in the methods devised
to secure needed school operating
revenue.
First" said the possible Demo-
cratic candidate for governor, the
presidents recommended to the State
Board of Education that they approve
deficiency expenditure for the OPP
Grafton of the university system, of
over one million dollars.
Furthermore, the board was asked
to okay rate increase in the student
registration fees amounting to $40
per quarter or some $240 for the full
four year term.
"Of course" asserted Cannon, "the
presidents of the university system
are well aware that neither the board
of education nor the board of ex-
aminers have the power or authority
to appropriate money or authorize
million dollar deficiency approprla-
tons. This perrogative is delegated
solely and exclusively to the Legis-

psittacosis epidemic could have been
avoided if adequate state and federal
inspection legislation had been avail
able"
AMCBW, which has long fought for

lature by constitutional provision.
''In light of this fact" he said, ait
would appear the attempt by the
board of education to usurp legisla-
tive functions and appropriate mon
eys was merely blind or coverup to
obscure the real purpose of the presi-
dents manuever, which, of course,
was raising the students registration
fees by as much as 100 per cent"
Because the Board of Examiners
did approve the fee raise, ''the people
least able to pay, in this instance the
students and their parents, are the
ones who will bear the full brunt of
this type of oppressive taxation,'
Cannon concluded.

CANYON FERRY EXAMPLE

eve think the commercial power
companies are out to wreck the fed
eral power program. And we think
they are going to make it fail when
ever they can.
''They are going to make projects
fail to pay out whenever they can,
and I cite you the instance of Can
yon Ferry Dam (near Helena) right
now, where the dam was justified
before the Congress on the basis that
power would be sold at certain rates.
'NThe power companies have fought
transmission lines being built out
from there, and in that general area,
which we have wanted very badly.
The power companies opposed them.
"They have said, we will buy the
power, but how much will they pay
for it? They are buying the power
from Canyon Ferry Dam, and they
are paying less than half for the firm
power-less than half as much as the
Bureau people told the Congress the
firm power from the dam would sell
for. And it is just because there are
no transmission lines, and just be-
cause there is no lever that we can
use to get this power out in our
areas where we want it, that the
government. is having to donate power
to the Montana Power Company and
I believe a loss to the government |
of something over half million dol
lars a year."

BACK TO BOX CARS

Senator Mansfield told the SEN

effect of the box car shortage on
Montana farmers and stockmen. The
railroad companies are "reaping prof
its because of preferential treat
ment," he said and ought among
other things to be forced to return
box cars to home lines promptly.
Representative Metcalf referred in
his testimony to reports from Secre-
tary Ralph Miracle of the Montana
Stockgrowers Assn. that last falls
car shortage "was particularly criti-
cal in stock cars and undoubtedly
occasioned economic loss to the live
stock industry in our state"
each year I have been in Con-
gress," said Representative Metcalf,
we have experienced a shortage of
freight and stock cars :. Each year
we are told that the shortage is sea-
sonal. And we are assured that it
won't happen again. (But) last year
was probably the worst of ALL"
