that these benefits would come
about through a reduction in the
loss of life and materiel.
He even went SO far as to say it
might be possible to reduce draft
calls or some day make them
unnecessary"
Mr.. Cordiner, who is president
OF the General Electric Co., said
that the military services now
had some 100000 of their 2.8
million officers and enlisted per-
sonnet tied up Ill training be-
cause of the rapid turnover. He
estimated that this figure prob
ably could be reduced by 100000.
The Cordiner committee was
set up in mid-1956 to effect a pay
system which would retain skilled
personnel. The pay scale it has
recommended is a complicated
one.
However, a master sergeant or
his equivalent in the Navy and
Air Force would receive a paw
hike from $23790 to $3.50 a
month if he had more than six
years service. Four-star gener-
ais and admirals would be in
creased from S1.22l.80 to $4,000

school levy on each lot is less than it
was 10 years ago.
The Flathead's second largest tax
payer, according to Mrs. Shanahan,
is the Great Northern Railway. The
railroad has been the largest taxpayer
for over 60 years and was passed by
Anaconda Aluminium Co. in 1855.
Broadening the tax base with the
coming of industry in the Flathead

taxes paid also tend downward in
recent years. This year the railroad
will pay 6,881.10 with the Novem-
Der installment $130,067.27. Last
year they paid $263,971.33, and it
was $279, ,230.84 in 1854. In addition,

The money stays in the community
That it stays is number one. Secondly
the reinvestment or plowing back of
such net income creates new debt
free revenue producing property.
Thirdly the new property earns new
revenue which is also reinvested.
Fourthly rate reductions become pos
sible thus saving money for the con-
sumer Filthy the consumer uses
more electricity as the rate goes down.
Sixthly, this greater power use brings
down unit costs and either earns
more profit or forces further rate
reductions. Seventhly, the Northwest
Public Power Association presents an
other one cent award.
This is magic circle which is con-
sumner minded and community minded
and locally controlled. 1t is true
economic democracy.
Not the least of the benefits of
such local, consumer owned electric
systems is the reduction in the poll
tical control and domination of our
legislatures by private utilities. Sew
eral years ago when was surveying
some PUBS / asked each system what
was considered the major benefits or
results of having the consumers own
and operate the electric system.
The Grays Harbor PUD replied as
follows: Elimination of political in
references at local elections is one
of the happy by-products resulting
from the purchase of all private cleo
trio systems by the Grays Harbor
Public Utility District.
In summary l have taken you on a
fast sputnik tour past twelve points
of the zodiac of the Expanding Hori-
IONS of Columbia River Develop
ment". These twelve elements are:
1. Greater value of hydro pow
er for peaking.
2. More power production.
B. Upstream storage.
a. Use of longer economic serv-
ice life of dams.
5. Use of low cost money.
6. The advantages of the Fed
eral Transmission system.
z. Increased future benefits
from today's dams.
8. Greater future value of pres
ent investment as result of infIa-
tion.
9. Multiple purposes.
10. Indirect benefits.
IL. naturalization and new jobs
and new community investment and
tax base.
IL. Consumer ownership of cleo
trio distribution systems and the
goal of one cent power and better
living.
The Columbia River is the greatest
atural resource of the Pacific North
vest. 1t belongs to the people. But
ye must build bridge of laws and
ublic institutions to harness the pub
&c resources and put them to work
or the people.
New state legislation such as Ore
on Ito go into power business) is
ow considering should enable Mon
ana people to enjoy the full benefit

COUNTY WORTH GROWS

tax rolls of Flathead county but from
1916 to 1856 the tax base of Flathead
county jumped from $35 million to
$84 million and it will go up more.
Low cost power attracts industry
and opens new country. 1t creates
jobs and a chance for better way of
life.
My twelfth point is the most i'm
portant of all. The real profit in this
business has always been in distribu-
ton, in the middle-man function of
retailing electricity to the ultimate
consumer.
We have demonstrated in the Pa
cific Northwest that electric power
can be distributed very economically.
This last year the Northwest Public
Power Association presented awards
to 10 electric systems for attaining
an average cost of electricity to it's
residential consumers of 1c or less
per kilewatt hour. This is our Zone
Cent Power Achievement Awards.
At the end of 1857 we expect to give
out 23 of these awards, and at that
time we will be able to say that about
$50 of our residential consumers,
and we serve about 100000 people,
are served by electric systems whose
average residential rate is under 1c.
This is our working goal to get the
cost of power for home use under
1c per kilowatt hour. The national
average cost is still over 21ac per
kilowatt hour.
So as my twelfth and last point on
our expanding horizon l submit for
your most careful thinking and action
the question of how best to distribute
and retail electricity.
In Canada the statewide or provin-
cial hydroelectric systems serve 1919
of the population and are doing a
fine job. In the United States the
consumer owned electric systems take
three forms, the rural cooperative,
25 in Montana, the municipal system
and the public utility district.
The % public utility districts of
Washington have been doing a good |
ob. From public tax investment of |
1nder $4 million these PUBS have |
treated 5000 million business serv-
ng a quarter of the population.
They have piled up over $40 mil
ion in surplus earnings or debt-free
liant investment. They have made
lozens of rate reductions worth prob
bly, $40 to $50 million. Yet they are
till very young and just getting 60
ng. They have bright future.
These results should not surprise
IS because the opportunity is there.
The general public knows so little
bout the real reasons for the tre-
lendous political and lobbying cam
aigns of the private utilities. Why
re the private utilities fighting so
ard? The answer is simple.
They are fighting to keep the 80
cents out of every dollar that you !
pay in your electric bill which goes
into profits.
Only about 1919 of your electric I
i'll is for actual costs which con- t
inner owned system must meet. {
What happens when a public sys-
IN plows these profits back into the S
immunity instead of paying big t
vidends to Wall Street? G

Industry broadening Flathead coun-
tvs tax base as we'll as providing 600
jobs is demonstrated by the Anaconda
Aluminium Co. tax bill.
The new Flathead plant for its real
estate, buildings, equipment and prop
erty in Columbia Falls has a tax bill
of $487,296.24.
The first installment of $243, 1881
is to be paid Mrs. Freda Shanahan,
county treasurer next week, and the
balance next May
Anaconda's 1857 tax of $487, 7,296.24
compares with $4S1, ,828.25 paid for
1856, $376,364.64 paid in 1856 and
8,S57.15 in 1854.
Hungry Horse Dam is not on
Flathead county tax rolls, but the
industry the dam brought the Flat
head is.
COUNTY WORTH GROWS
Flathead county total assessed val
uation in 1947 was $38,490,713.
County Assessor Grant Campbell, last
August, reported the 1857 assessment
figure for the county as 86,947, ,082.
Result is that Flathead county has
about the same assessed valuation as
Missoula county-last year it had
more, and ranks after Yellowstone,
Cascade and Silver Bow in Montana.

COLUMBIA-"1O COLORADO
RIVERS"

The natural flow of the Colorado
is mere IL million acre feet year
and through irrigation use the real
flow is much less. In contrast the
mighty Columbia has an average nat
ural flow into the Pacific Ocean of
1876 million acre feet annually and
even after irrigation use the present
flow averages 18O million acre feet.
The flow of the Columbia is thus
equal to at least ten Colorado Rivers.

PARIS, Dec. II tNANA).--A
new pledge Of loyalty both 70
the Communist Party and the
nation has been demanded of
all Red army ofiicers and nom
commissioned officers since the
downfall Of Marshal Zhukov.
according TO information now
reaching French intelligence
quarters.
Most significantly. the draw
ing up Of this pledge and the
program Of administering 1t 10
Soviet military cadres were not
entrusted to the political de-
partment Of the army. whose
role repeatedly has been i'm
mensely enhanced by Marshal
Zhukov's removal from the post
OF defense minister. Instead.
informants here said. the deli
cate task was assigned to Mar
shall Vasilevsky. an authentic
World War II hero and Mar
shall Zhukov's predecessor at
the Defense Ministry.
The role of Marshal Vasilev-
sky. the very fact that such q
pledge was deemed necessary
and the failure TO make II an
occasion for q public blast
against Marshal zhukov lead
experts here to several conclu-
sions.
Doubt on Revolt Threat
They strongly doubt that
there was serious fear Of q pro-
Zhukov revolt, either by the
Red army marshals or any sub
stantial body Of junior officers.
II now appears that the only
Red army brass hat deeply
committed to the deposed de-
Tense minister in q personal
sense was Marshal Konstantin
Rokossovsky. the ousted Polish
Defense Minister. who became
Marshal zhukov's deputy after
he was hustled out Of Warsaw
last year.
But Marshal RokoSsovsky
had been away from the Soviet
army for q decade and had
little influence. In the maneu-
vering which preceded Marshal
Zhukov's enforced exit. he was
effectively dealt with by the
simple expedient Of being given
