farmers will fade away.
Gabriel Hauge at a recent meet
ing at Iowa State College was asked
whats to be the fate Of many small
farmers who have their backs to the
wall"?
Hauge said it is Inevitable" that
small farms will be absorbed by larg-
er farms. This, he said, is technical
progress" He said he had advised q
friend, who farms in northern Mis-
souri,, "to go to work in a caterpillar

For several months, Hauge has
been expounding Eisenhower's eco
nomic philosophy that the market is

out that the average net income OF
Sd, 800 in 1854 represents the total
return to the ranch operator both for

return on his investment.
The publication also presents data
to show the average net income is
probably raised by the presence of a
relatively few number Of ranches with
very high incomes and that the med
ian (middle) income of farmers and
ranchers in Montana in 1854 was
probably less than $4,000. The small
operator, particularly the small live
stock producer, has been hardest hit
by the recent decline. Operators of
the larger and more productive units
have been better able to withstand
the adverse conditions.

MISSOULA-Total net income of
farmers and ranchers in Montana de-
clined about one-third between 1850
1851 and 1854, according to a dis
cussion of the current Montana agri-
cultural situation in the March issue
of MONTANA BUSINESS, just re-
leased by the Bureau of Business and
Economic Research at Montana State
University.
The decreases are more severe than
those which occurred in the United
States as whole, primarily because
of the greater Importance of livestock
in Montana. The drop in livestock
prices over the period has been par
ticularly severe. Net income figures
for 1866 are not yet available, but
total net income, bolstered by an ex-
cellent wheat crop, probably will show
little or no decline.
The university publication notes
that the often-repeated statement
that the declining number of ranches
does not hold true in Montana. AL
though the number of farms and
ranches in the state has declined
since 1850 the decrease in total in
come was so great that average in
come per farm or ranch has also de-
clined substantially.
In 1850, average net income per
ranch in Montana, according to the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture, was
$6,130; in 1851, $6,724; and in 1854,
$4,000, or decrease of 20 per cent

CONRAD State Sen Leroy An

'Fjare sounds like a power COM

trict. monopoly utilities and their
Republican allies have long opposed
all reclamation and power projects,
unless, as with Canyon Ferry Dam,
they can be rugged so the taxpayer
foots the bill and the private utility
reaps the profits. Since their failure
to put over this kind of a deal on
Yellowtail, the strategy of the power
and its political allies has
been to delay or halt any further ac-
ton on this project.
"When we took this country from
the Indians who owned it, we allotted
them reservations which were then
as useless land. Occasionally
it develops that what we regarded as
useless now has substantial value be-
cause of minerals and oil, or as in the
case of Yellowtail Dam, for power
development. So we should honorably
pay its full and true value. This is
no individual tract of land being

Attorney Generals Brief Contends
MPCo. Has Collected $3.5 Million Via
Unwurrunted Gas Rate Increase

Attorney General Arnold H. Olsen
Monday filed his brief with the Su-
preme Court in the natural gas rate
increase controversy.
Olsen has been contesting the valid
| ity of the rate increases since Septem-
Der, 1858, when the Montana Public
Service Commission granted rate in
creases ranging from 80 to At per
cent to the Montana Power Company.
Olsen has estimated that refunds
to individual home-owners will av-
erage about one hundred dollars
if his suit is successful. In individ-
ual cases the refunds may run as
high as $165.00, he said.
Olsen contends that the commits
sion fixed the new rate on an inflated
estimate of the company's value, and
that the commission should have con-
sidered whether the Anaconda Com
pany was paying a fair amount for
its gas. The commission excluded all
evidence about gas supplied to Ana
conda at its hearing in May, 1858.
"The Montana Power Company
asked for and received from the
board an overall thirty-two per cent
increase in the prices it charges the
general consumers of natural gas in
Western Montana" Olsen said in his
brief. "The Montana Power Company
now receives an additional 81 AGO.

Olsen pointed out that the Com
pany's figures upon which rates are
based vary widely from the figures
which they submit to the State for
taxation.
