Undoubtedly Alaskans are in- dividualists. When, we say Alas kans we are not referring to the iohnny-c0me-latelys who would also fit In the same category, us- ing the term loosely.
 But we are referring rather to that noble breed of men, who dared to leave the primrose paths of civilization. the conveniences of then modern cities, to take up their abode in literal wilderness that had nothing to offer except what had to be taken forcefully and most times alone. But the true Alaskan of several years back, whether he came from New York, Massachusetts, Chicago or the states of Iowa or the Dakotas, proved himself equal to his envir- Onment. In most cases he survived.
 As Alaska is gradually being transferred from this wilderness to veritable miniatures of New York. Chicago, San Francisco, ct al. and its frontiers are being pushed back by mans progress, 1t Is refreshing to find man who has this trait of individualism, and practices it! Such a man is Earl Fleming, bear biologist. photo grapher, school teacher. stream watcher. FWS enforcement agent and trapper
 Bear biology is Fleming's forte
 his passion As he says, study ing the habits of bears is as heady stuff to him as drink Is to the alcoholic. Coupled with photogra- phy, this study can be fascinating, without a doubt, dangerous, too, and at the same time requiring un- usual patience. Fleming says he has spent weeks at a time in one spot waiting for a bear to appear and follow through with one of his known acts. Bears don't spend all their time fishing the streams as you may have been led to be- lieve from movies" he says. "A bear giving the appearance of charging is not always doing just that" he said.
 Earl can tell you d lot about bears, and he iS going to do just that Saturday, Nov. 22 at the high school auditorium. in color movies and by lecture. It will no doubt De an edifying evening for most of us armchair nature lovers, who prefer our bears and other animals at little more than arms length. It is said of Earl that he has even wrestled with them.
 Fleming has been i3 years in Alaska. Much of 1t has been in Southeastern, and in the interior of Alaska A chapter In his life covering three years or more, he was a school teacher. He told of one experience--I believe 1t was

Judson King, Grand
Old Man Public Power
Fight, Passes Away

WASHINGTON, d. c. (NRECA)
Rural identification lost a great
friend and warrior last week wher
Judson King, SO, died at his home
near Washington where he had been
in retirement.
Until his death King was an active
director of the National Popular Gov
eminent League. His entire life was
dedicated to guarding the rights and
interests of people. He was an out
spoken and active enemy of the power
trust and staunch anti-monopolist.
He fought tirelessly for comprehen-
sive development of our natural re-
sources.
Along with the late Senator George
w. Norris of Nebraska and other
members of Congress he saved Muscle
Shoals from being grabbed-off by the
power trust after World War I. King
was instrumental in planning and
promoting the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority and the IVA "yardstick". He
later served as consultant to IVA.
King was also consultant to REA
in it's early development, and was an
active member of the Electric Con-
sumers Information Committee. With
both of these groups and in other
projects he undertook, King worked
long and hard bringing abundant,
low-cost power to rural America.
NRECA General Manager Clyde
T. Ellis, in telegram to Mrs. King,
said, 'He deserves a place in the
halls of history among the truly
great men of our time his mem
Dry will ever inspire us to hold the
line in the Judson King tradition"

Tax Collector Wants
Information On Coop
Members Getting 500

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Some farmers marketing and pur-
chasing co-ops need to report which
of their members got 500 in divi-
dends in refunds, a recent internal
revenue service ruling says.
This applies to co-ops taxed under
section 521 or 522 of the internal
revenue code. Because these co-ops
pay limited dividends, divide up their
remaining earnings in refunds, treat
each customer alike, and deal almost
exclusively with farmers, they are
exempt from income tax on their divi-
dends.
A coop need not report member
who gets SIS in dividends and 500 in
refunds, for example. 1t will report
him only if he gets 500 or more in
dividends or 500 or more in re-
funds.

Food For Summer Camps

Surplus foods were used by more

There is danger that such dona-

To prevent this Rep. Lester John

House passed HR 1864 so there
will be no doubt that non-profit

Surplus foods presently available
are butter, cheese, dried milk, rice,
flour and cornmeal. These donations

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NRECA)
Rural electric leaders who have
been busy fighting for passage of
the Humphrey-Price bill before Con-
gress adjourns are in. agreement
that the REA reorganization bill is
in its most critical period. y
Support for the bill, which would
restore the full loan making author
ity of the REA Administrator, is
widespread. The problem is to give
the supporters a chance to cast their
vote. Many members of Congress on
both sides of the political fence have
filed statements of support with the
subcommittee considering the bill,
but the measure is still Gin commit
tee.

Humphrey-Priee REA Bill
Reaches Critical STAGE

Language in both bills is identical.
House and Senate Government OPP
erations subcommittee have juris-
diction over the bills.
No one associated with the sub
committees involved would venture
solid opinion or give any estimate as
to the chances of the bill being re-
ported out. Rough drafts of the sub
committee reports are now being cir
culated, nonetheless. Some spokes-
men for the subcommittee have indi-
Gated that the reports are being
pushed, but as yet there is no report
of anything near final draft.
A glimmer of hope was expressed
oy legislative aide to Sen. Homer
Capehart (nd.), member of the
Senate subcommittee. The source
said that he thought the bill "could"
come before the full Senate within
"about two weeks.
The fact remains that with Con-
gress busy pulling every switch to
adjourn within the near future, log
jamming techniques are easy. There
is the possibility that unless speeded
action is taken now, the Humphrey
Price bill could be left in the shuttle
and never get out of committee.

Utilities Use Recession To
Plump For Rate Boosts

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Commercial power companies are
taking advantage of the recession to
raise electric rates, officials of Ma
tional Rural Electric Cooperative As
sociation explain.
Thus far in 1853, the companies
have received $53 million a year in
rate increases. They've asked IT
states to grant them an additional
$72 million a year. This is how the
private companies do it, coop people
say:
The utilities have added new equip
ment at a terrific rate. 1t has been
the fastest growing industry in the
U. S., with demand doubling every
10 years. The government has subsi-
died much of this new investment
with $1,000 million in interest-free
loans since 1850.
Investment is the basis for COM
mercial electric rates. State commits
sions generally allow the companies
a SO profit on their investments.
Factories have shut down during
the recession, and this has cut into
the companies revenue. Thus, with
investment rising and revenue drop
ping, many utilities can demand rate
get them.
Illinois last month allowed Com
Edison to raise its rates
a whopping $26 million year. This
increase will cost its averape estomer
Sc year.
Co-ops operate differently, NRECA
officials point out. The co-ops have
grown twice as fast as their private
They've had no interest
'ree loans. The farm recession has
lit them hard; $4,000 farm homes
With electric service stand empty.
But the co-ops haven't increased

Farm Income Down;
Land Values Up

Despite 1870 drop in farm in
come since 1851, the average value
of farm real estate on March I,
1858, was 17% above the 1851
level and three times the 1910
value. i
Since 1910, land values have ris-
en- $40 more than consumers
prices and 4O% more than prices
paid for goods and services used
by farmers in production.
According to USDA economists,
part of the increase in land prices
is due to additional capital invested
in equipment and improvements
which result in greater output per
acre.
Actual and anticipated uses of
farm land for non-farm purposes
subdivisions, industry, highways
is an important factor in the
upward trend. Also investment in
land as hedge against initiation.
The average value of farm land
is $1OO.39 per acre nationally, 1882
per acre in California.
California farm land values vary
from $50 an acre for non-irrigated
to over $4,000 for irrigated avo-
cado groves. Other irrigated-land
values are average per acre):
lemons, $4,000; navel oranges,
$2,950; Valencia oranges, $2,650;
walnuts, $1,875; apricots, $1,000;
peaches, $1,000; prunes and al
monds, 81 ,525; pears, $1,45O; table
grapes, $1,525; raisin grapes, ST.
800; wine grapes, $1,O75; vege-
tables, $1,150; land suitable for
cotton, rice and sugar beets, $3.50;
irrigated land for barley, beans,
hay, corn and sorghum, $780,

Mining Industry
SafetyCodes Set
For Drafting

Robert Swanberg, chairman Of
the Industrial Accident Board. has
announced the appointment of com
mittee for drafting of safety codes
to cover the Montana mining anc
smelling industry, according to Ern.
est Salvas, chairman of the Mine
Mill Legislative Council.
The committee will consist of five
men, two from labor, two from man
agement, and representative of the
public, who will act as chairman.
Labor's representatives will be
William Annau, Great Falls, and Dan
Martin, Butte; Management will be
represented by w. G. Maloney, Butte,
secretary of the Montana Mining AS
ISOLATION, and Ed Renouard, Butte,
ACM manager of mines. Chairman
is Edwin G. Koch, Butte, president
of the School of Mines. r
The Industrial Accident Board has
requested that the committee get to-
gether for an organizational meeting
as soon as it is convenient to do so,
according to Mr.. Swanberg.
The Mining Safety Codes commit
tee is the third to be formed to work
on codes for safety in Montana in
dustry, under an act passed by the
1851 Legislature. The 1851 law pro-
vided no funds, however, and it wasn't
until 1855 that the Legislature pro-
vided the money for codes commit
tees to operate.
Since that time safety codes have
been established in the logging and
industries.

State Education Board Avoids
Executive Session Temptufion

The State Board of Education meet
ing of last Monday and Tuesday
which unsealed the second half of
biennium money for the use of its
satellite institutions in their programs
of welfare and education, was twice
tempted to revert to it's habit of
executive session and only once did
members conceal their motives from
the nasty eyes and ears" of journal
ists.Yfgf
The first temptation occurred when
the board stopped the music of gentle
akickback that the Dillon school board
has been playing since 1906 with the
college there. This shakedown was
in connection with the teacher train
ing program. Other school boards
accept established rates for trainees.
The Dillon board wanted special sal
airy arrangements.
The second temptation occurred
during the opening of bids for the
ry-gymnasium at Havre's North
ern Montana College.
The dellcateness of the single sub
contractors bid position could not
possibly be understood by the blum
dering press people present. Of
course the blunderers were furnished
with only one copy of the agenda al
lowing only one reporter present to
understand that when they approved
the items by number that they were
really considering anything. Mind
reading is not scientifically accepted
as a news source.
