Montana State Senator Asks
TRANSMISSION LINES

Murray assured OeHdIoI OaoS eHsi'
they will.
TRANSMISSION LINES
Montana's lack of adequate trans
mission lines will be detailed on May
IA when Rep. Lee Metcalf goes be-
fore House Appropriations subcom-
mittee to present the delegations
case for money with which to build
several needed lines in Montana.
MONTANA WITNESSES INVITED
That same day Senator Douglas
banking and currency subcommittee
will take testimony on how the area
redevelopfnent bill can help increase
jobs and industry in Indian country
The Montana delegation has asked
Walter Mcdonald, chairman of the
Montana Intertribal Policy Board;
Knute Bergen, co-ordinator of In
dian education, and representatives
of Hill 81 and the Blackfeet Tribe,
which is conducting a perhaps I'M
paralleled effort to attract industry,
to testify on this bill and on several
other bills which will be considered
the day before by Senator Neuberg-
er's Indian Affairs subcommittee OF
the Interior Committee.
Scheduled for consideration by the
are Senator Murray's
S. Con. Res. 8, which would redefine
Indian Bureau policy so that 1.-The
governing program of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs shall be an American
Indian Point " program, and his
S 331, concerning jurisdiction over
offenses on Indian reser-
vations.
FALLS VISIT
Senator Hill, chairman of the APP
subcommittee which han
dies health appropriations, last week
promised Senators Murray and Mans
field he'd do all he could to help them

engthy staff conference last week

lam A. Brophy, former commissioner

lewly-formed Commission on the
Rights and responsibilities of the
American Indian, sponsored by the
fund for the Republic. The Montan-
ms suggested, and the idea seemed
o take, that Great Falls, Montana,
would be an appropriate place for the
ive-man commission to hold their
meeting, seeing as how
hey want to be near problem areas.

Hidden Taxes

Dad as this was,' he continued,
''they were about to get away with It
if they had been content to stop
there; but they weren't. Now the Ad-
ministration has issued certificates
authorizing the rapid writeoff of two
of these dams for tax purposes. This
will have the same effect as giving
the Idaho Power Co. big interest
free loan at the expense of the tax
payer. This is for the benefit of

Federal Power Commission in 1853

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

WHITEFISH BAY, Wis.,
! should like to ask you to justify
the use Of the world "self-ad-
dressed" as you use it in your
column. Sometime ago I read
an item pointing out that there
is nothing properly called a self
addressed envelope" The article
commended that the correct ex-
preston was simply addressed
envelope" since the envelope was
incapable Of addressing itself.
My own notion is that the en-
velope is addressed to self and is
therefore "self-addressed." /
would appreciate your comments.
|-E. c. Marsh.
Answer-That was a little gem
Of transformation you picked up
there, Mr.. Marsh. Not only is the
phrase "self-addressed envelope"
used frequently. it is used cor
Irectly. The word "self" in such
compounds may be considered
either as the subject Of the &C.
ton. as in "self-appointed," or
as the object Of the action. as in
"seh-restraint" or "self lad
dressed" Whoever wrote the
item you mention must have
known only Of the subjective
sense Of self" in such COM
pounds.
MILWAUKEE.-In a recent
article I believe you made q
grave error. You wrote: Some
people-including apparently the
columnist in queStion-simply
don't know the correct spelling.
Shouldn't that be simply doesn't
know" I feel sure I'm right
Mrs. John Corbett.
Answer-Sorry. but you have
apparently made the very COM
mon error Of referring the verb
back to the nearest noun, rather
than to its true subject. The
phrase including apparently
the columnist in question" is a.
parenthetical expression, care
fully set of by dashes. The sub
ject of the verb is some people" ~
not "columnist."
Another possible cause Of con-
fusion is the fact that people"
Is a collective noun and it might
conceivably be construed as sim
gular in certain instances. Thus
one might say: Among the
Asiatic peoples, the Chinese peo-
pie has the Oldest culture" But
this is the case only where the
noun is considered as describing
a people" as a whole. In the SEN
tence in question the sense is
obviously Of people" as describ-
ing q wide variety Of individuals
and thus would take the plural
form of the verb.
