Hunt Case
Up Friday

According to Pres. Maxey,
former Police Chief e. Hunts
trial was set to be heard this
Friday, April 10, 1859 in Room
400 of the Criminal Court.
Ex-Chief Hunt and one Moses
Maidenby were indicted some
time ago on an alleged conf
dence game manipulation, also
Hunt was indicted for forgery
(signing the names of Clerk
Jas. w. Barnes and President
Maxey) to Police Cards which
were Sold for $4,000, according
to statements made by Hunt
and Maidenby.
When the former Chief was
questioned some months ago
he stated that he had signed
the Presidents name to the
cards and had given the cards
to Maidenby. Mr.. Hunt stated
that Trustee Oscar Wilson had
received the money and Mr..
shaw, another Village Tru tee
had full knowledge of the hap
penings.
At one of the hearings, the
attorney for Mr.. Maidenby ask
ed the judge why Mr.. Shaw
and Mr.. Wilson had not been
indicted and the Asst States
Attorney replied that they were
still investigating the case.
When Trustee Oscar Wilson
was called before the grand

Education Is
An Individual
Thing: Newburn

Welcoming the Farmer-Labor In.
stitute to the Montana State Uni.
versity campus last Friday, President
Harry K. Newburn said he was
pleased to have the institute on the
campus and "doing what you are
trying to do because universities have
been slow in recognizing that educa-
tion is a continuing thing.
He said weakness we don't talk
too much about is we have made the
term education synonymous with edu-
cational institutions. "People can be
educated without going to school
the best way may be to go to school,
but l don't think we should lose sight
of the fact that education is an indi-
vidual thing it is what you and
do :. if we are willing to pay the
price we can get an education".
Citing two qualities that have made
America great, "our flexibility and
our dedication to the ideal of uni
versal education," Newburn said,
everyone should have as much op-
portunity as his ability and interest
allow him and the limit to which
he is willing to give to it,
''We should be careful that in ques-
tioning education we don't miss the
basic point, he said. "We have been
loathe to recognize the accomplish
ments of Russia, and we are only
now beginning to see they have ac-
complished some very great things in
education 1t is like sticking our
head in the sand not to be aware of
these things, but we should not lose
sight of the fact their goals are as
different as day and night. They are
educating their children to serve the
state we educate to serve the
people,.

Monday night Reprs. FREQ
Barrett, Pat Gilfeather, Joe
Howard and Sen. Ted ManniS
of the Legislative Councils sub
committee on Education un-
yelled the first two chapters
of their proposed recodified,
cross-indexed rewrite of the
laws pertaining to the Univer-
sity System.
The two chapters relate to the
proposed Regent system of govern
ing the Greater University, which
will appear as a constitutional amend
ment on the 1860 general election
ballot. Their work is designed for
legislative consideration even if the
amendment should fail to create the
Board of Regents, for it can be used
to regulate the Board of Education
'ftwin hats" process now in effect.
Copies of the two chapters are
now being sent to their publisher, !,
the other members of the Legislative
Council, for discussion at their De-
cember IA session. The publisher"
will then have editorial conferences
with the presidents of the university
units and the Board of Education.
AS the subcommittee proposal
now stands, Regent will be ap-
pointed by the Governor each year.
This means of the first eight ap-
pointed one will only serve one year,

COOPERATION, KEY TO
TWAS SUCCESS

Under the IVA, control of develop
ment was taken out of Washington
and centered in the region through
directors from the area named by the
President and confirmed by the Sem
ate. The TWAS direction is very
close to the people of the area; it's
success has been based solidly on CO.
operation between the agency and
the people of the area.
Under the Neuberger Columbia
corporation bill, that proposed agen-
cy would be limited to distribution
of power presently in excess. On fu-
ture construction and installation, by
whatever agency public or private,
such development would have to meet
with the approval of the regional
corporation. On this latter the cor
poration would have powers fully as
broad as TWAS and would be in a
position to determine whether a pro-

Coffee by any other name would

That's what Food & Drug agents
told the promoter of "DynamoP', as
they seized $1,000 tablets. The pro-

would pep you up in 20 minutes and
were superior to all other vitamin-
mineral preparations. Zone tablet

BUILDING FEE RACKET"
REGULATION PLANNED

The third chapter is going to be
the next 'labor of love- with the
other eleven merely descriptions of
the units. In the third chapter, upon
which work has begun, procedure for
finance and buildings will be laid
down.
The present chapter of the law on
student financing of resident halls
had been amended by the 1853 and
1866 sessions of the Legislature to
include field houses, classrooms and
about every kind of building which
could appear on campus. This chap
ter has lead to the "unsupervised
building program which is under no
control. The skyrocketing building
fees assessed students are in viola
ton of the constitutional provision
which says that no tuition shall be
charged at the university. This law
makes it possible to make a charge
for going to class. The student is
charged for the use of building
whether he uses it or not.
The building fees-spawned "open
end contracts, now used to expedite
university expansion, if challenged by
a student in the courts may leave a
contractor without payment for his
work. His only redress would be to
come around to the Legislature for a
damage payment.-F. S.

PUBLIC CORPORATION URGED
The public corporation with author
ity to handle its own financing
through revenue bonds, is the most
suitable legal mechanism to bring
about comprehensive, multiple-pur-
pose development of the resources of
our nations major river basins, Judge
Erickson told the institute audience
Reviewing how the Tennessee Val
ley Authority had been set up in the
early days of the Roosevelt era. Erick-
son said that that acknowledgements
and controlled agency not only put
the wheels in motion to revitalize a
historically depressed and backward
area, but also set a pattern, a yard
stick for the rest of the nation. While |
the pattern hasn't been followed else
where i'll the nation because of the
massive opposition of the private
power trust, the "yardstick" has had
a most saluatory effect on power
rates, nationwise.
Erickson stated that Montana 1859,
with its unenviable growth position
being near the bottom of all the
states, could be compared with the
Tennessee Valley of the early thirties.
He asked what better way to electrify
and rebound Montana onto a prosper
Gus course than by securing the early
construction of Paradise Dam. In
this connection, he said that the leg
islation to authorize the dam. S 1926
and HR 5144, by the entire Montana
delegate, incorporate many of the

become too greedy.
PUDs in Washington, he said,
have not only brought one-cent and
under power to their residential
user-owners, but have had a strong
influence on private utility rates
particularly in areas near the
PUDs. Also, growth of PUBS, along
with rural electric co-ops and
municipalities. has resulted in the
breaking of the over-powering in
fluence of the private utilities in
the Washington state legislature.
PUDs pay minimum Sc per cent
tax on their gross revenues in Wash
ington. They pay another three per
cent on the gross revenues from any
power they generate. They do not pay
federal corporate income tax-thus
keeping such money within the area
for other purposes via lower rates.
Clark County (Vancouver) PUD
pays better than 10 per cent of it's
gross revenue as local and state taxes.
This is a comparable percentage to
the gross state and local taxes paid
by Montana Power Co. Clark county
average residential rate is under one
cent per kilowatt hour. MPCo.'s av-
erage residential rate in 1858 was
2.28 cents per XVIII.
PIT PROTECTED WATERRIGHTS
Clearing up other simulated con-
fusion over 217, Tonner said that
the bill adequately protected existing
waterrights; that these were not sub
ject to condemnation. He also said
that a PUD could not pre-empt the
rights or property of any other pub
lie corporation such as rural cleo
tries, irrigation projects, etc. And he
said his bill protected the rights of
to receive prevailing wage
scales.
A PUD law on the books in Mon
5ana, the Flathead legislator con-
binued, "would provide competition
to the private utility monopoly, and
would, as in Washington, encourage
arge scale industrial development.
In regard to the latter, he cited a
number of examples where the PUDs
nave built dams ranging in cost up
% $165 million, and by way of cheap
power have brought major job and
AK producing industries into their
districts.
Concluding, he took final swipe
at the never-ending stream of pri-
vate power propaganda labelling
public development as "socialistic".
Said he, when people reject public
ownership of electricity as social
istic', they must also reject the
'socialistic' operation of the public
schools. Then, we will have: tutors
for the wealthy, academies for the
middle class, and ignorance for the
masses"
Commenting on the oft-repeated
ontention of private power spokes-
len that PUBS could undermine rural
lectric co-ops, Eugene Pike, manager
f Missoula County Rural Electric,
aid he saw much to be gained for
ne rural electrics via PUD. Elaborat-
lg, he pointed out that rural cleo
rics under present law must depend
n Washington for loan funds for
expansion. Should that source be cut t,
IF, the rural electrics would wither .
n the vine. With PUD law, rural
lectrics could reorganize under the
wv and thereby provide their own
leans of expansion financing via
,venue bonds.)
