Before the Montana Chamber
of Commerce convention in Bill
lings early this month E. o. Sower-
wine. Jr.. director of the Montana
State Planning Board, made speech.
He titled it Planning Montana's In
dustrial Future.
This speech alarmed and discour-
aged me lot. Mr.. Sowerwine painted
such a dismal picture of the future
for Montana citizens that | could not
help but wonder how he can Justify
his title.
Maybe I am laboring under an
improper conception but L thought
the planning board was to envision
bright future-plan for better
life for everyone.
1t seems to me he can only en-
vision a Montana where the people
must sacrifice so industry can pros
per. He presents a program that
stresses the necessity for Montana
people to "work for less". He says
people "refuse to leave" so they will
just have to accept less.
The many obstacles that he sees
in the path of progress for Montana

Murray. paradise would develop
about 80 per cent more energy than
Knowles and because of the addi-
tional storage at Paradise it would
obviate the need for the proposed
Ninemile Prairie project, as supple
ment to Knowles as proposed by the
Corps of Engineers. On the other
hand Knowles would be cheaper to
build and would not present as many
relocation problems.
"T hope this hearing will develop
good deal of factual material and
indicate conclusively the wishes of
the people of the area. Construction
of either dam would substantially
alter the present pattern of living in
the area, as Hungry Horse Dam
changed the Columbia Falls area.
However, either of these pro-
posed dams would dwarf Hungry
Horse. For example, Paradise Dam
would produce approximately S5
per cent as much firm power as
the entire Colorado River project
consisting of Upper Colorado, Glen
Canyon, Flaming Gorge, Curecanti
and Central Utah Dams.
'I realize that many advocates
and opponents of large dam in the
Clark Fork Flathead Basin feel
in this matter. Witness time
will be equally divided between per-
sons who advocate one or the other
of the proposed large dams and those
who oppose either dam or have alter

AT the same time, he has
ruled out any immediate pay

former Baltimore labor leader

The Governor met with
legislative leaders for one-and-
a-half hours behind closed
doors last night to discuss the
school teacher pay proposal
and other fiscal problems fac
ing the State.

is aware that the program,
costing a minimum of $3l mil
lion over the next four years,
may require upward tax adj
justments but that he is willing
to meet that responsibility
when the time comes.
