WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
A northwest grain coop recently
made its final payment on the very
last Federal Farm Board loan, and
R. B. Tootell, governor of Farm
Credit Administration, took occasion
to recount bit of history.
Congress created FFB in 1929 on
the recommendation of President
Herbert Hoover and gave the agency
$500 million to ease the farm depres-
sion, he said. FFB's job was (1) to
stabilize farm commodity prices by
buying cotton and wheat and (2) to
encourage farm co-ops by lending
them money.
During the 100 days" of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's first admin
istration, Congress abolished FFB
and created FCA. One of FCA's jobs
was to liquidate in an orderly man.
ner FEB stocks of wheat and cotton
and to collect FFB loans to co-ops.
Eventually, the government lost $3.50
million on commodities and So mil
lion on coop loans.
Congress also said FCA should use
the S110 million it collected in this
liquidation process to establish 13
banks for co-operatives. The govern
ment's investment later climbed to
$178 million, but this has now
dropped to $142 million as co-ops
that borrow from the banks retire
federal funds with their own invest
ment.
AS Tootell said, eve have now
collected the last payment on the
last Federal Farm Board loan. The
board itself gave co-operatives their
first specialized credit service and
paved the way for what will someday
be coop owned banks for financing
farmer co-operatives.'

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Big meat packers and food chains fix
prices the farmer gets for his crops
and livestock, then dictate what con-
sumers will pay for it, Senator Joseph
c. O'Mahoney (D-Wyo.) said here,
September 5.
He spoke to groups that hope to
transfer antitrust control of meat
packers from the Agriculture Depart
ment to Federal Trade Commission.
Packers and their American Meat In
stitute oppose the change.
O'Mahoney urged the groups "to
a grass roots campaign so
both producers and consumers will
know that the big packers and chains
have actually taken over the power

to regulate commerce in the public
interest"
The veteran monopoly fighter criti-
cized USDA's lack of antitrust en-
forcement. ETC has referred many
cases to USDA, O'Mahoney said. "The
department hasn't yet taken any ac-
tion on any of these complaints. This
dreary story has been repeated again
and again for the past 26 years"
eve can't tolerate a monopoly in
meat distribution. American house

The presentations of the utilities
on their requests for increased rates
are over. The Telephone Company
spent three full days-they had about
nine witnesses. The Power Company
spent one full day-they had five
witnesses.
All witnesses were painstakingly
qualified as experts.
The curtain will rise on the Sec
ond act when protesting groups cross
examine utility witnesses and present
their own witnesses.
Protesting groups have been at
tempting to organize in order to raise
enough money to hire an expert. But
the job is too big for just few peo-
pie. Do you know it will take over
10000 dollars to hire experts for
the telephone and power hearings?
1t was because the legislature rec
ognized this situation that they gave
the job to the Public Service Com
mission.
Then the Commissions backed away
from the job and the State Supreme
Court upheld them.
Now when the hearings are recon-
vened the protestants can cross eX-
anime and present their witnesses.
Our problem is: Where are our eX-
perts?
One Telephone Company expert
testified his accounting firm spent
200 man days preparing testimony
for the MST&T hearing.
The PSCommission originally gave
protestants 25 days to prepare for
the telephone case - and ten of
those will be gone before the testi-
mony of the first hearings are trans
cribed. More time is being requested.

| ties will not allow the qualifications

iority court decision belittled such
testimony as carrying no weight.
The court said protestants should
present expert evidence, but they
didn't tell us where we were expected
to get them.
However, with the hope that springs
eternal. and the ever glowing spirit
that makes people resent being
kicked around, a rate expert has been
contacted who will come to Montana
if he is given time to do the job and
we can raise the money.

it possible to do the job. You are

expansion of business and resi-
Dental areas. By this route, also,
east-west traffic would move
around the city, thus avoiding
street traffic congestion.
William E. Miller, assistant chief
engineer of the highway depart
ment, on introduction by Mr.. Muir
ply, gave the estimated costs of
each route as $10,597 900, $1O,363,-
600 and $11,749,O 900 respectively,
for the whole project from Five
Points to Lynch Heights. He point
ed out that the road system is not
planned for immediate construc-
tiOn, but is part of an overall state
plan, and would take up to five
years for completion. A decision
by the State Highway Commission
on which route may be selected is
expected to be made within a
month to six weeks.
William r. Kah1, member of
the firm of Rummel, Klepper and
Kahlm, consulting engineers who
made the survey of the proposed
routes, explained his firms rea-
sons for recommending Route l
for construction.
While no direct criticism of the
proposals was made from the floor
of the meeting, several suggestions
were made for running the pro-
posed Route l on more sOuther-
ly direction, which would avoid al
together the city limits of Milford.
With the promise by highway
officials present at the meeting
that any official expression made
by city council would be given
serious consideration, Mayor Muir
ply, in closing the meeting, urged
that anyone interested in express
ing their opinions on the matter,
contact members of council.
