the purpose of agricultural water
management, primarily irrigation.
The development is multi-purpose

iva Power SAVINGS
Consumers Paid 1913 Millions
Less Than Prevailing Rate
From THE NEW YORK TIMES

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 49,
Consumers served by distributors of

paid, during the fiscal year 1861,
S128, 100000 less than they would
have paid had they bought the same
amount of electricity at rates pre-
vailing generally throughout the ma
ton. The estimate was made today
by IVA.
Rates in what now is the iva
service area were described as about
equal to the average for the nation
prior to 1888, when IVA operations
began.

Grated systems saved $94,558, 900.
Greatest savings were in Nashville,
with $14,479, 900. Chattanooga was
next with $11,643,O0O and Knoxville
was third with $8,822,00O.
The saving for customers of CO.

VOICE Fills An
Important News Need

Editor, Peoples Voice:
have read and evaluated your plea
for financial support for the conclusion
of the year 1861 and operating ex-
penses for the coming year of 1862.
I have always wondered how the
VOICE has managed to operate, give
everyone of the excellent staff a de-
cent living wage, and still manage to
mail the paper to the subscribers for
such an insignificant sum? It must
not be, nor have been, easy, I can
appreciate that readily.

Gretchen didn't appear with her coll
umn What Do You Think, first it
made me wonder if she had been ILL.,
When she finally reappeared and ex-
planned that she had been occupied

I found it not difficult to understand
her concern. To demonstrate what I

Lower Tax Values Reflect
Worsened Economic Picture

Assessed values of motor vehicles
of all kinds and of livestock were
almost $31 million under 1860. Net
proceeds assessments, reflecting a
weakened metals and petroleum mar
ket, also contributed to the drop by
being $6.5 million lower.
Except for substantial increases in
assessments of utilities, pipelines,
and railroads, the lower total assess
ments would be substantially greater
than the net $3.6 million reduction.
Herewith is the State Boards tab
ulation, along with special attention
being called to the marked reduc-
ton of assessed value" of motor
vehicles, all livestock and net pro-
ceeds.

IGNORANCE SURROUNDS
PROGRAM
DIR. Fischer opened by saying that
the "bulk of the citizens don't know
why we have farm program" and
even worse, neither do the bulk of
the farmers. Informing both groups,
he said, is the number one problem
to be met in attempting to re-estab-
lish and maintain a stable agricul-
ture.
The second problem has to do with
the chronological revolution which
has so rapidly overtaken agriculture
particularly the past twenty years,
and how, from a comparatively short
time ago when farmers were a ma
jority of the people and were sub
stantially self-sufficient, we have now
moved into complex economy.
"The single farmer" he pointed
out, 3'has little control over the price
he receives" Individual free enter
prise in agriculture, today, can re-
suit only in calamity.
Because American agriculture
can produce in an abundance no.
where equalled elsewhere at any
time in history, "we are now faced
with unique demand for our
product, demand which finds
Americans able I, to eat only so
much, while agriculture continues
full speed ahead in its, industrial
revolution. Outside of govern
ment, there is no way today for
the three and three quarters mil
lion farmers to so plan their pro-
duction that supply and demand
will be in balance.
Questioning previous assertion
hat cattlemen have maintained sta
oility in their industry, because of
he lack of government controls, he
;aid that the reason for this is that
popular demand for beef has nearly
doubled the last 80 years.. The latter,
which he said he could back up with
proof, is the reason
or the livestock industry's "rela-
i've stability, rather than the cattle
mans ability to manage his produc-
ion so that oversupply did not wreck ,
he beef price structure. !
Recalling the old axiom "you can
mock farmer out, but you can't '
mock out a farm, Fischer said that
he nation was able to foresee the /,
explosion, but failed to t
rasp the "even greater adjustment t
roblem" to be faced by agriculture
$ the chronological revolution gained
peed. There will be even greater adj Q
ustments necessary in the next Is !,
ears than in the past, for American c
to stay solvent, he prophe- t
zed. a3F t
Looking back over the past 81 :
ears, he said that farm labor is
own one-third; that IA million peo- :
lie have left the land ) that those n
in agriculture have in v
'eased farm output by 80 per cent

lid that, eff the same technology =

Fewer new car and farm equip
ment purchases by Montanans this
past year are mute evidence of the
gradually worsening Montana eco
nomic position, and along with drop
in livestock values, were the prin-
cipal reasons why assessed values are
lower now than year ago.
Information in a report released
this week by the State Board of
Equalization, showed that in 1861,
for the first time in 20 years, tax
values are lower than the previous
year. The drop amounts to approx
mately 1915 million in assessed valua-
ton, which reflects itself in almost
million dollars lower taxable valua-
ton for the state as whole.

WANTS GOVERNMENT
RESTRAINED

Speaking as younger, college
educated farmer, Lewis & Clark Farm
Bureau president Herrin, said that
'most young farmers today are col
lege graduates, and many of them
in professions other than agriculture"
who have chosen farming as the way
they desire to make their living. He
said controls are putting a strain
on us and we no longer have free
market; that, in effect, farmers
have lost much of their freedom. He
believes that government "should be
restrained to soil conservation, re-
search, etc." instead of also serving
as a force to stabilize agriculture.
Herrin, a sugar beet grower, spoke
of the tremendous gains in per acre
production of beets and other COM
modities in the decade he has been
farming, and contended that techno-
logical improvements have made it
possible for farmers to get around
the Notwithstanding efforts of the
government.
Later on, under questioning, Her
rim admitted that his crop is wholly
controlled operation, made possible
because it is in the national interest
to have domestic sugar industry, al
though sugar can be produced much
cheaper outside the nation, particu-
larly in the Latin American countries,
than is possible here.

"REAL THRILLED
WITH NEW LAW"
Mrs. Beazley, who has been farm
ing practically all my life'' said she
is ''real thrilled with the new law"
1t sets forth, she said, $50 many things
which are good for u.s.. She paid par
ticular reference to wheat and barley
(which | grow in Roosevelt county
At present, she said, the govern
ment has So billion "of your money
invested in wheat. This represents
a Ia billion bushel carry-over.
The new bill, she told her audience,
will decrease the carry-over by 100
million bushels in 1862. Under the
old act, each year there was an in
crease of approximately 100 million
bushels carry-over. This decrease, she
said, will save the American taxpay-
srs 1888 million in 1862 alone. At
the same time, the new act will make
it possible for farm income to in
crease between ten and 15 per cent.
Taking issue with Farm Bureau
spokesman, she said farmers must i
want the price support-production
control program since "way over
the mandatory two-thirds of them
voted for its continuance" this past
summer. The vote was 70 per cent
plus, to about 20 per cent opposed.
BY that vote, farmers will receive
a price support of $2.02 per bushel
of wheat in 1862 as compared with
$1.79 in 1861. For barley, the price
support will be about SO cents as
compared with II cents this year.
The new act, she also pointed out,
and the further cutback in acreage
allotments will also 'shelp cut back
he Suitcase farmers" off Main
Street who, over the last couple of
decades have sought to make "fast"
lollar return on grain, and at the
anne time, have materially contrib
tied to the worsening economic con-
lition of bonafide farmers.
Without a federal program, she
aid, "our wheat price would drop
o 80 cents before it finished slip
ing, and 81 wouldn't appreciate that,
nd for that matter, neither would

HIS "FREEDOM"
Eugene Donaldson, like Williams
nd Herrin, commended that the "soon-
r we get government out of agri-
ulture," the sooner sT'll be a free
armer to produce as / see fit, pros
er or go broke as see fit. / think
ne country will be better off, with /

While admitting it is s'kind of
'onderful feeling -. this ability to

DINING OUT
By JOHN M. ROSSON
Now, the Dinner-of-the-Month

As q group, restaurateurs
can hardly be accused Of lack
ing imagination.
To improve their offerings
both food and dining-out decor
they'll take to q new idea, 50
long as it's different, as readily
as Q Cape Canaveral scientist to
the newest theory on rockets.
The latest example here can
be found beginning this week
at the two elegant dining rooms
at the Sheraton-Park Hotel.
You've heard of book Of .
the-month clubs, record Of
the-month clubs, fruit-of the
month clubs and flower.of-
the-month clubs. Well, the
Sheraton Park has come up
with . dinner-of- -the-month
club.
From here on, club members
are entitled to one dinner Q
month for IL months in thu
hotels Colonial or Town dining
rooms. They'll be welcomed
Monday through Sunday, anC
the menu-while it changes
from day to day-will be the
same one handed anyone elst
entering the rooms, member o.
non-member. And anything or
the liSt-from steaks to ragouts
ARE fair game.
Membership cards (theil
price Is nominaD will cut the
cost Of the members monthly
meal to as low rs one-fourth
its price. Thus, in the Il
months, the member would gel
IL meals for the listed price Of
about three.
Whose idea was this and how
Evening star., 1961-02-02

can management do it and stay
In business?
The answers are provided by
q personable young man named
Robert Dutton Of Minnesota
who thought Of the plan two
years ago and convinced a
group Of small but fine restau-
rants in Minneapolis to give it
0 try.

Dutton said, land both the
restaurants and the club mem
berS were highly pleased"
Mr.. Dutton. 81, is now busy
with the task Of installing his
plan in the Sheraton Hotel
chain.
ITS already in effect in q
Of the chains 81 hotels" he
says. Eventually we hope tc
have 1t in all Of them"
Explaining further how the
plan works, the young entrepe-
neur said both parties benefit
the restaurant and the member
Every member" he explains
must be accompanied by a
non-member whose dinner
must be paid for at the regu-
lar price. That's the only re-
quirement."
This" he continues, means
the couple-say husband and
wife-get two meals almost fol
the price Of one. II the hus-
band Is q member, he gets his
meal for about one-fourth its
value. The wife's meal would
be paid for In full"
II both husband and wife are
members. he adds, they would
bring with them two other per-
sons, and the quartet would
get four meals for little more
than the price Of two.
The hotel. meanwhile, ac-
complishes two things. Mr..
Dutton points out.
1T increases its volume OF
business and-perhapS more
important-will help restore
hotel dining rooms as THE
place to 60 when dining out"
At present, club membership
is good only at Sheraton hotels
in the city in which member
ship is purchased. but by next
year we expect to make them
good in all Of our hotels re-
gardless OF where the mem
bershtp was bought" he said.
Included In the plan Is the
main course, the salad. the
breads, coffee and dessert. Also
