NORWOOD LETTER

Gus Norwood in Readers Forum
admits being confused over our publ
cation Of letter from E. ]. Parkin-
son in last weeks VOICE.
We must admit that e. Us" logic
and alleged facts offtimes confuse US
too. In fact, he has a rather high bat
ting average of being in error. The
fundamental point remains, however,
that, to the limits of space, we permit
people of divergent views to avail
themselves Of Readers Forum. When
forum writer's are factually incorrect,
whatever stand they may take on an
issue, we welcome corrections of such
errors by other readers. So, have at it.

LET 'EM GO AROUND

One of the arguments being put up
by trucking interests in opposition
to weight-distance legislation (HB
326) is that if big out-of-state trucks
are forced to pay their equitable
share of Montana highway costs they
will go around Montana. That sounds
like splendid idea. Why should
Montana motorists subsidize these
cross-country hauIers who look on
Montana as "bridge" and who, in
addition to getting a IoW-cost ride
across our state, probably don't pay
a cent of corporation, property or
any other kind of tax into Montana
tax Golfers.

the same time finding little merit in
a much larger development in his own
county. These same folks point out that
as of last Friday the breadwinners in
47S homes in Sanders county (pop.

Paradise Dam were a going concern
there'd be much more industry in the
county and a much smaller percentage
of the population unemployed, with
the subsequent curtailment of business
such high percentage OF
unemployment always brings about.

OBJECT TO BAN

State employees aren't very happy
over being banned from the legislative
halls by the Board of Examiners. One
Of them puts it this way: This seems
a lot of nerve by men who spent weeks
and weeks touring the state campaign
ing at our expense when they should
have been working. We are just as
interested in some of this legislation
as they are, are citizens and feel we
have the right, outside of office hours,
to contact Legislators if we feel it
necessary" (For obvious reasons,

Parkinson "Unfactual"
On Power Statements

The Peoples Voice,
Your printing of Mr. e. ]. Parkinson's S
unfactual letters confuses me.
The Anaconda Aluminium Company
has a power contract with the Bonne-
vile Power Administration dated June
IA, 1855, for 111,000 XIV of firm and
$1,000 XIV of interruptible power plus
an equal right to provisional power
The interruptible and privisional power
are available in better than critical
water years or about 19 out of 20. The
1000 XIV of firm power is guaranteed.
Mr.. Parkinson may have misled your
readers by his implication that firm
power has been urtailed.-NORTH-

matter of personal concern to authors
of proposed legislation when they have
put up a good fight and feel their
chances of winning are slipping.
The battle of lib 225 was long and

Opposition to the bill said it legalized

That the lobby for the regulated

HB 225 had no more interest in it
after the McGarvey amendment passed
was evident in the vote on third read

fought for the bill on general orders
voted against it.
The vote was 45 to 45. A tie vote
kills a measure.
There was move made Wednesday

Senator Mahoney would never have
allowed a comparable statement to be
directed against a Republican without
defending him-regardless of his guilt.

WHERE ARE THEY, RUDY?

House Minority Leader Rudy Juede-
man during this session has evidenced
a positive genius for putting his foot
in his mouth on occasion. He got him
self all mixed up early in the session
in publicly stating that Montana is
without repres entatiOn on the House
Interior & Insular Affairs Committee,
when, in reality, Cong. Lee Metcalf is
now among the senior members of that
committee. Later on, Rudy made
couple of other strikeouts on matters
which, had he been well informed, he
would have been less hasty to run for
the public prints.
Now, last week, he pulled another
dandy, when, writing in the CUTBANK
PIONEER PRESS, he shed copious
tears because the proposed Paradise
Dam would ''uproot hundreds of small
farmers and home owners from the
narrow fertile valleys of Sanders
County -
Being an old Sanders county-ite, I'd
like to ask Rudy: Just where are those
fertile valleys" which would be inun-
dated in Sanders county?
NOTE: 1t might interest Rudy to know
that most of the small farmers in |
the area which would be inundated |
in Sanders county are looking for
ward to the day :. a day of liberia
ton when they'll be able to secure
enough cash from their holdings to
make new start on better land.
