CHICAGO-Business critics who
snipe at co-ops for not paying income
tax on their customer refunds should
now take a back seat.
Three West Coast power compa-
MES aren't paying any income tax on
their dividends to stockholders. Not
refunds to their customers, mind you,
but dividends to stockholders, which
have always been considered profits.
The firms are California Oregon
Power Company, Pacific Power &
Light Company, and Portland General
Electric Company It's all perfectly
legal, too.

Power Firms Pass 7ux-Free
Profits To Stockholders

Several years ago the govern
ment granted these firms fast tax
write-offs. That is, they were al
lowed to deduct as expenses over
a Swear period the cost of equip
ment with useful life of even so
years.
This privilege made the taxable
profits of these three companies SO
low, compared with their real profits,
that the dividends they paid out of
their real profits were entirely tax
free.
How many other power companies
are passing on tax-free dividends to
their stockholders as a result of fast
tax write-offs? Congressman All Ull-

Government Research Is Inadequate
Available Figures Show
|SfronfiUm-q0 Levels Up
FINDINGS CONFIRMED

The Aces Quarterly Statement on
Fallout. released Jan. IA, confirmed
GUS findings. A summary of tests
conducted by private and government
groups showed that the average level
of strontium-9O in milk had risen
from 81 units in 1857 to units in.
1858. and for the first half of 1859
it equaled 11.6 units. GUS survey had
shown a level of s in 1858 and 8.8
in 1869.
But these figures cannot be taken
as precise measurements because of
the small number of areas tested and
the infrequency of the tests. They do
indicate, however, areas in need of
further study. In the Central states
and eastern Canada, for example, the
average level in 1868 for 7.3. During
the first half of 1859, it rose to 14.2.
KIDS HARDEST HIT
A matter of particular interest ON
which there is almost no information
is the strontium-9O level in children's
bones. The most comprehensive infor-
nation is likely to- come from the
Baby Tooth Survey conducted by the
Greater ST. Louis Citizens Commit
tee. Gu has undertaken to check so
of 40 teeth each collected by
the committee.
The only available data comes from
surveys by the Lament Geological
Laboratory at Columbia University,
in the Acc statement. 1t
shows that levels have increased over
the past four years. Bone concentra-
lions in age groups up to 20 years in
1883 ranged from ~ strontium
units to 2.6 with the highest levels in
the six-month age group. But these
were made from only
LIZ samples.
Scientists have stressed analysis
of milk because it was believed that .
milk supplied 500 of the stron-
tium-9o In the diet. But recent find
ings have revised the estimate down
to as little as 500. This would indi-
cate the Importance of studies on
the strontimm-9O content In other
foods and In the whole diet.
= -
sO STANDARDS
Until the whole diet is surveyed
it is difficult to esti-
nate the danger of the rising stron-
ium-9O levels. The International
Commission ON Pathological Protec- 2
ION set maximum permissible con-
entration' level at z strontiun units.
ln American commission prefers a
igher level. But until accurate sta
istics are amassed on how much
is being ingested in
God, air and water, there is no way
f knowing how close we are TO these
permissible" levels.
Some small hope came Jan. IL when
ecretary~ of Health, Education and
Welfare Arthur S. Flemming an
ounced that the Public Health Serv-
.e, which took over responsibility
rom the Acc, would expand its milk
ssting to 60 cities ON July L. Until
scently the PHS had only four en-
loyes working part time in IL cities.
lemming also said that studies are
nder way of total beta radioactivity
nd of strontium-9O in the most COM
ON foods in the American diet.

Federal Aid to Schools Complex Subject

OlS NVlHPleA 0UUItlI
1872, O73,364 library services, S5,362, 445
defense educational activities, grants, S43,-
958, 119. There are many other grant pro-
grams for children of school age.
If some of those programs result in too
much control over studies and administration
at the local level, why do state legislatures
continue to appropriate money to match fed
eral funds in many of these projects?
The answer usually is the legislators feel
the people of their state want these services
and the state does not have the money.
Federal aid ito states and local units of gov
eminent really got away to fast start during
the great depression of the early 30s. Other
than very few highway and college grants
there was little federal aid then. And, the
total so spent was less than 100000, 900.
That was less than the school lunch program
costs today.
By 1886 the federal costs for grants to
states cost more than $500, 100000. I'm 1916
there were about 30 programs with cost of
SS45, 100000 Ten years later, i'm 1866, there
were 81 projects that cost three and half
billion dollars. I'm the next three years. ending
inn 1869 there were so programs costing over
six billion dollars.
And, the present Congress is considering
school aid alone of nearly billion more. The
interstate highway program is costing a great
deal more than expected ON the basis of so
per cent federal aid and 10 per cent from the
states. 4
There is a general rule in business that
if anyone is critical of any activity, then
he should offer remedy. If the plan under !
criticism is bad, let there be better plan.
Many farmers are against federal aid for
agriculture, but they continue to accept the
cash benefits for conformity to a maze of
regulations. Nobody has solved the farm prob
lem as yet.
A great many people are critical of federal
aid to schools. But, majority of the people
apparently want federal aid or it could not
get such wide support. The critics are in the
minority
1t is time for the critics of any public pro-
gram to offer remedies along with their de-
mands for elimination of projects the major
ity desire.
The State of Montana is hard pressed to
meet school needs at all levels. Property II
taxes in Montana are far too high. A maze
of fees is being evolved to supplement prop II
erty taxes. The property tax base is not being H
improved to meet growing demands. Infla- H
ton is racing far ahead of legislative processes
in Montana and other states. The state school H
population is growing rapidly. H
WHATEVER is to be done for funds if the II
anti-federal aid people eliminate state aid II
from federal government?
Obviously the majority of people feel
that not all federal aid is bad. Montana
accepts more than twice the sums in fed
eral aid that Montanans pay the federal
government In taxes.
Until such time as residents of state can
pay their own way for services they demand, H
there will be federal aid II

INDEPENDENT-RECO
The question of federal aid to schools is in
the forefront again because of the efforts in
Congress to supply upwards of billion dol
lars for more assistance to states. The usual
arguments for and against federal aid to
schools currently are being heard.
In many areas school board members and
officials of other educational organizations
6 have taken stands against more federal aid
to schools. While the latest measure specifies
federal agencies shall have NO influence with
courses of study or actual administration,
there is the fear that provision is merely
window dressing
Before anyone takes an outright stand for
or against federal aid to states, whether
schools, highways or other activities, study
of the specific statute or directives should be
made. There are now about so different pro-
grams of federal assistance for grants to
states or lesser divisions of government. I'm the
last fiscal year these projects cost most than
six billion dollars. Most of those programs
were enacted because of pressure from state
or local groups. =
In fact many states have failed for ONE rea=
son or another to meet their responsibilities
to schools, highway programs and other ac=
Invites demanded by citizens. So, the federal
government has taken a hand Getting rid of
some of those programs is like trying to SUM
scramble eggs.
If state agencies, and/or, individuals do
not want more federal aid then it is up to
them to either meet the financial demands
involved or cut out the program.
Take the school lunch program as an ex-
ample. The federal government spent $780,
3O1,255 in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1859, on school lunches.
Do the opponents of federal aid to schools
contend school lunches should be discontinued
because of the influence exerted on courses of
study or administration of elementary or sec
ondary schools?
If school lunches are bad because of federal
contributions, then let those opposed provide
a substitute or drop the project.
The special school milk program cost the
federal government STA, 027,394 in the last
fiscal year. American dairy organizations ap-
peared very happy to have federal backing
for the milk program as there was surplus
of milk Congressman and state officials had
their pictures taken drinking milk. The idea
was to expand the use of milk to help avoid
SURPRISES in cheese and other milk products.
Are the anti-federal aid people in favor
of abandoning that project? If SO, should
there be a substitute. Before eliminating the
milk program, those opposed to such aid
would probably be expected to point out
the evils in that effort.
Among the 60-odd federal aid programs is
a series of activities under the federal office
of education These programs and their cost
in the last fiscal year included: Colleges for
agriculture and mechanical arts, $5,051, 500;
cooperative vocational education, $685.
1876; school construction and survey, $66,096,-
594 maintenance and operation of schools,

BY ROBERT E. LIGHT,
In NATIONAL GUARDIAN

The amount of strontium-9O from
nuclear bomb fallout that has worked
it's way into human bones and into the
nations food is of concern to every
person because in sufficient quanti-
ties it can cause bone cancer and leu
kemia. But the amount of research
u. S. government agencies have done
thus far is SO meager that precise
levels are not known. What can be
determined from available data is
only whether strontium-9O concentra-
tions are going up or down. Recent re-
ports from Independent and govern
ment sources indicate the levels are
going up.
Consumers Union, am Independent
non-profit testing organization, in
1858 undertook to check on stron-
tium-9O levels in milk because the
Atomic Energy Commissions research
was scanty. 1t tested milk in 48 u. S.
cities and two in Canada. A report,
published in the March, 1859. issue of
CONSUMER REPORTS, concluded:
''There is incontrovertible evidence
that the strontium-9O content of milk
has been increasing since 1854"
Last year the organization decided
TO repeat it's tests because "there was
no immediate prospect of any sub
stantial increase in government sur
VIGILANCE of milk This time 27 cities
oh of so1, 1,aI
tested in 1868. The results, published
in CONSUMER REPORTS, February.
1860, show that the strontium-90 level
has increased.
NO PRECISE FIGURES
The report pointed out THAT Gus
findings, taken with less ambitious
Public Health Service studies, tended
% confirm am upward trend. The re
oort added: cit is clear that even the
overall averages and trends based ON
such figures (CU'g and the govern
ment's) are far from precise. But |
hese are virtually the only data avail
lble. and, if we are to draw amy con-
Illusions at all, they must be drawn
rom these figures"
The study also showed THAT stron-
ium-9O levels wary greatly i'm short
pam of time. I'M st. Louis, for ex-
nipple, the level i'm July, 1868, was 16
trontium units (number of micro
nicrocuries per gram of calcium) and
n Judy, 1859, the level was the same.
But i'm the intervening year, the level
ad gone up to 29 i'm April and down
o 8 in June.
The report summed up: "The
chief lesson, regretfully, is that
Gus data, along with those of the
government agencies, merely hint
at the irregularity and complexity
of radioactive fallout products in
milk and in other foods, and the
urgent necessity of finding out
more about them
'"The problem is too vast for any

uately. And it is becoming increas- I
