Longtime Labor,
Democratic Leader,
Dies In Falls

GREAT FALLS = Edward l..
Shields, 72, longtime prominent
member of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, and leader in Mon
tana Democratic affairs, passed away
Sunday morning at his home here.
Mr.. Shields, who was preceded in
death by his wife less than a month
earlier, spent more than fifty years
as an employee of the Great Northern.
His political career included two
terms in the State Legislature in the
twenties, term as Cascade county
sheriff from 1882 to 1886, and two
terms as mayor of Great Falls, 1941-
1915. In later years, under Mayor
Truman Bradford, he served as chair
man of the city's airport commission.
A highlight of his non-political COM
munity service came in 1853 when he
headed up 100000 fund campaign
in the six Catholic parishes in Great
Falls. He was past commander of
10y j. Molumby Post, American Lee
gion; and belonged to the Eagles,
Elks and United Commercial Travel
ers.
Mr.. Shields was born June II, 1885
in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and came
to Great Falls in 1893.

alton of the running fued the Lieu.
tenant Governor and the Highway
Commission have been indulging in
over the past month. Cannon, seeth-
ing over printed remarks by highway
officials to the effect that certain
irresponsible" persons were doing the
highway program great harm, re-
newed his demand that the Highway
Commission explain where they got
the $4,000 to meet the monthly
salary raises put into effect for $50
highway administrative and engineer
ing employees last July 1, in view
of official statements as to how hard
pressed the department is for money
to meet the expanded federal aid pro-
gram. That SIT, 000-orS204,00O on
a yearly basis-Cannon emphasized,
would amount to a total of about
two and one-half million dollars worth
of additional highway construction.
Although admitting he had been in
error in stating that Highway Engi-
neer Fred Quinnell, Jr., is currently
receiving an annual salary of $14,40O
that the correct amount is $4,000
Cannon reiterated his contention
that the new administrative-engi
ing salary schedule of the department
amounts to an average increase of
20 per cent.
"a telephone interview with Chief
Engineer Quinnell regarding the
higher salaries put into effect July 1,
and the new Personnel Classified
ton and Wage Schedule" setting up
step-by-step raises for employees,
brought out the following:

Which land and water situations
should be preserved as they now
exist for recreational purposes and
where can additional recreational
resources be developed?
If the people of Montana can agree
on the answers to these and similar
they will not only get eco
nomic growth but they will be able
to guide it along lines they want it
to go. If not, we may sit on the side
line while other states pass us by.
How could we get such a plan? One
possibility would be for the Legisla-
5ure to charge the State Water Con-
Board with responsibility

staff to do the job. But here again
we should consider the expected re-
turns from more productive resources
in relation to the costs of getting the
job done.
Montana can recognize the pains
of economic growth and plan for
orderly growth toward maturity. Or
the State can remain partially de-
veloped like an adolescent who never
grew up. The choice is here for all
of us.

find ourselves continuing to build
dams to store water for industrial
and municipal uses. Power facilities
might be incidental, or nonresident

more efficient. If I am right, we will
continue to face the problem of where

called to discuss the problem of how
to raise at least two and one-hal1
million dollars more matching funds
as a preliminary to % asking Gov
ernor j. Hugo Aronson to call spe-
cial session, or (2) the launching OF
an initiative campaign for considera-
ton of the electorate at the November
1858 election.
In contrast to his stand on weight
distance, the Acting Governor as
serted that the Governor is re-
luctant to advocate such iegisla-
ton. In substantiation, he recalled
Aronson's failure to give any sup
port to the proposal in addressing
the 1857 Legislative Assembly,
even though weight-distance was
the number one recommendation
of the Highway Fact Finding Com
mittee, committee appointed by
the Governor.
Noting that the gas tax will drop
from seven to six cents January 16,

is necessary if the state is to avoid
a reduction in matching funds :.

mediate action in view of the fast
approaching January Is deadline,
boils itself down to one avenue-a

In reply to a question whether or
not he would support extension of
the seven-cent gasoline tax after

Cannon said he would be willing to
"discuss" the matter.

very spendthrift-wise he said, Sin
many respects adjustments of con-
siderable magnitude could be made"
In concluding the longest and most
important rate hearings in Montana
history Paul T. Smith, chairman of
the Railroad and Public Service Com
mission, ordered attorneys for pro-
ponents and opponents in the tele-
phone company case to file simultan-
eous briefs after they have received
copies of the official transcript of
the second phase of the hearings.
The procedure followed by the
commission in the rate increase ap-
plications of the Montana Power
Company electric division and Noun
tain State Telephone and Telegraph
Company, allowed opponents time
after each company had presented
their case for the increase, to pre-
pare cross examination and their case
in opposition.
Allowing the time to prepare a
case, made it possible for opponents
to secure the services of a utility
expert to appear against the tele-
phone company application. There
was not quite enough time to have
him work on the Montana Power
Company case, but the principles of
rate making he presented to the
commission will apply equally to
the electric company and the tele-
phone company, according to at
torneys for the opponents.

SHOULD DEVELOP MASTER
WATER PLAN

l suggest that we in Montana
should get started with the develop
ment of Master Water Plan for the
State. We can learn much from Cali
fornia on this point. If we want to
have something to say about how the
water resources of Montana are de-
veloped, controlled and used, we need
to set forth a positive program of
development. Our best course of ac-
ton to secure maximum use of Mon
tana's water within Montana would
seem to lie in an orderly plan for their
use. By so doing, we can help to give
direction and impetus to the already
existing federal programs for de-
velopment of both the Missouri and
Columbia Basins. This means that
conflicting interests would get to-
gether and decide the answers to such
questions as these:
Where should major power and
storage dams be built?
For which projects do the bene-
fits to the State and to areas of the
State outweigh the costs to the local
area?
For which projects should private

OTHER FACTS ON HIGHWAY
PROGRAM

The two-phase interview with Can
non and Quinnell brought out that
the federal highway trust fund cur
rently has surplus of $3.50 million,
but that by late 1858 or early 1859
costs of the nationwide program will
have out-stripped revenues flowing
into the federal matching fund. "a re-
port in US NEWS & WORLD RE-
PORT of an interview with Federal
Highway Administrator Bertram D.
Tallamy points out that the originally
planned 13-year building program will
have to be extended over at least
Is years. Rising costs have already
pushed the price of the 900 miles
of superhighways far above the orig
inal estimate. Because incoming rev.
enue will not be keeping apace with
rising costs, the federal government
will be able to meet only about rs
per cent of its earlier estimated share

Federal Judge William H. At
