possible. to build a really suitable
home on campus for Eastern's future
presidents. There is ample room on
already college-owned land for this
purpose. This would be far wiser
than to purchase this house on Park
Lane that is almost one mile-by my
experimentation the president S
office.
Then too, l would question the
wisdom, or good business judgment,
of spending S40,00O.OO for home
at this time, when there are other
facilities more urgently needed. am
thinking specifically of a library. The
State should be ashamed of the IL
brary that the students are now
forced to rely upon. A library is a
large part of any college education,
and if the State or college does not
provide the best possible, it is In
effect stealing from the students
time, money and education. The pro-
fessors of Eastern are also in dire
need of office space for consulta-
tions, ETC., and if we do not provide
same, we and the students are not
getting the best from them. 1t seems
automatic to me that books and pro
fessors' should be of first Importance
in any good college. The years that
a student spends in college are the
most important years of his life, and
cannot be replaced; so I am asking
the Board of Examiners to attend
to first things first at Eastern, to-
gether with the Board of Education,
and am confident that they will
find that the proposed house on Park
Lane will not stand thorough exami-
nation, or meet the test of being in
the best interest of the college, the
student body, faculty, or taxpayer.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLARD E. FRASER.

Opposition Claims Without Substance -.
Paradise Dam Project
Completely Feasible

and if the aluminium industry doesn't
want it. any of dozen other electro
process. chemical or metal industries
will be fighting for it. Industry's ap-
petite for low-cost power is simply
Unsuitable and the great problem IN
Northwest is that there is just not
enough to go around; thus the reser-
walton of Paradise power for use IN
Montana means solid, year-round pay
rolls for our state, and arguments to
the contrary can't alter the facts of
economic life. One of those facts is
that the cost of fuel alone in modern
steam plants is just about equal to
the total price at which Bonneville
sells power to industry.
"There is one effect of the in
creased cost of everything which Mr..
Loman has omitted to mention, and
that is the greatly increased value
of flood control storage as the de-
velopment in the Columbia Basin
grows. While other cost increases
tend to lower the feasibility of the
project, this one raises it, because it
means that the amount of the total
cost charged to flood control will be
considerably increased over previous
estimates. Any major increase in the
projects benefits obviously will have
the effect of increasing its benefit
cost ratio"
Finally, we should all remember
project like Paradise are the ones
that never even show up on the
benefit-cost balance sheet. No one
counts in these calculations the
added year-round jobs made avail
able to keep our finest young peo-
pie in the State, the increased pur-
chasing power of our communities,
the new farms where young couples
can make their homes and de-
cent living, the additional defense
industry capacity, the greatly ex-
panded income tax and property
tax base which these projects pro-
vide, and the new tourist and recre-
alton opportunities. Yet all these
are important to those who would
build for the future of our State,
and Paradise Dam would provide
all of them"

Enrolment At
Record Level

A record 154 students registered
in June for correspondence study with
Montana State University, Missoula,
to bring the current enrolment in
the Home Study Dept. to an all-time
high of S77, according to Homer E.
Anderson. director of the MSU Public
Service Division.
A variety of students are taking
correspondence courses for a variety
of reasons, ranging from housewives
pursuing avocational interests to busi-
nessmen working for credits toward
a college degree. Mathematics is the
most popular subject, but such diverse
courses as Business Law and History
of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy
also have their following.
The students send their lessons in
from points all over the globe, includ-
ing Cairo, Egypt; Caracas, Vene-
zuela; and Helsinki, Finland, accord
ing to Mary Margaret Courtney, home
study secretary. Montana has the
largest number of students enrolled,
followed by Illinois, Iowa, and Cali
fornia. Thirty-three other states and
Mexico, Canada, and Alaska are rep
resented in the enrolment. Ten of
the 26 registrants serving in the
armed forces are stationed overseas.
The University's home study courses
are taught by regular faculty mem
bers, who hold registrants to the same
standards required of resident stu
dents, Anderson said. The Home
Study Dept. is a member of the Ma
tional University Extension Assn. and
is approved by the U. S. Armed Forces
Institute, he added.

Rate Hikes

Continued From Page One)
it was eight years ago. Since January
2, 1852 it has jumped from $27.55 a
share to S45 a share-or better than
65 per cent.
Continuing it's gloomy outlook if
rate increases aren't granted, MPCo. s
''First Time ;" booklet says:
Electric rates must produce suffi-
cient revenue to enable us to buy the
facilities you use, pay our employees
good wages, pay the other costs of
doing business and pay interest and
dividends to the people who have
invested their money in our company.
Only when a company like ours is
financially sound can it provide you
with the best possible service and
enough power SO that it is always
available in any amount whenever
you press button or flick switch"
This air of foreboding, however,
was not reflected in MPCo manage
ment's 1856 Report To Stockholders.
Therein, management was all opti-
mism about how we'll the company
was doing under present electric rate
schedules, stating:
"Your Company in 1856 recorded
all-time record highs in every de-
partment of its operations, continu-
ing the pattern of growth and ex-
pansion that has characterized its
business during the last decade -.
Operating revenues totalled $780,
67,184, an increase of Sc per
cent or 100000 over the 1855
total. Electric revenues were up
7.3 per cent to $28,786, 664 49,.
''The net available for common divi-
dends in 1856 was 1928, an increase
of 21 cents or seven per cent over
the previous years figure of S3.O2."
In the 1856 reports Give Years at a
Glance, MPCo. management points
out that the company has been so
prosperous during the period that net |
income available per share of COM
mon stock increased from $3.50 in
1852 to the 1928 figure-or a gain
of better than 20 per cent.-HLB.

Farm Use of Electricity
Continues to Rise

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
USDA measures farmers electric bills
every July, and last year it found
them at an all-time high-S10.4O for
the month. Farmers also used an all
time record number of kilowatt hours
July, 1856. Cost per kilo
watt hit a new low of 2.56c.
If farmers keep expanding their
use of electricity as they did between
July, 1855, and July, 1856, they'll
more than double their demand in
IA years.

Big Steel Profits
Rise To New Hiqh

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(NFU)-
U. S. Steel Corp. chalked up record
high profits for the first half of 1857,
the company reports. Profits of S4.07
a share for the first half-year were
up more than 11ao above the same
period last year.
This periods report is not af-
fected by the recent big price boost
put into effect by the steel cartel.
Higher prices will in all probability
boost profits still higher in the next
period.
The steel cartel has repealed "the
law of supply and demand" U. S.
SteePs president, Roger M. Blough,
let on. Steel production has been run
ming at about 800 of capacity, and
won't go above something like "a or
85 % for the rest of this year, he said.
The steel price boost, therefore,
was ordered by the steel industry in
spite of surplus" of Is to 20%o of
steel capacity. Because price competi-
tion has been destroyed within the
steel cartel, its managers are able to
set prices as high as they want, and
to cut their output down to the
amount that the country can buy at
the artificially-high price they set.
