BLM Pours Almost q Million More
Federal Dollars Into Montana

This week the State of Montana
received $945,922.84 from the Blu
reau of Land Management as its
share of more than $21, 608,000 in
resource receipts from federal lands,
Secretary of Interior Stewart Udall
has announced.
Of the States total, $900,531.41
came from mineral leases and permits.
The other $45,391.43 was from graz
ing leases, land and timber sales,
etc. The nine hundred thousand dol
lar item represents mineral lease
revenues accruing to the state for
the six-month period which ended
June 80. The balance of revenue was
for fiscal year 1861 which also ended
June 80.
The bulk of the payments to the
states consisted of $20,925, 900 from
bonuses, rentals. and royalties from
federal mineral leases Including oil
and gas). The remaining 1888, 400
came from revenues for activities

other than mineral leasing, including
receipts from grazing on public lands,
public land timber sales, and others.
The mineral payments represent
371a per cent of total receipts for
the six-month period, except for
Alaska which now receives 80 per
cent of mineral leasing revenues
under terms of 1857 law. The reve-
nues come from mineral leases cover
ing oil, gas, oil shale, potash, sodium,
sulphur, coal and phosphate.
Since the states requested that
their mineral payments be made semi
annually, the $20,925, 1879 covers
only the half-year period from jan
uary 1 to June 80, 1861. Earlier this
year the states received payments
totaling $15,779, 912 covering the
first half of the fiscal year. Alto
gether. the states will have received
$36,705, 045 from federal mineral
leasing activities during fiscal year
1861.

Rail Unionisfs Petition ICC To
Intervene In Merger Proceeding

LIVINGSTON = Contending that
the economic well-being of the Pacific
Northwest will be materially damaged
if the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion approves the merger of Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and the Bur-
lington, the Livingston Anti-Merger
Committee has requested ICC per-
mission to intervene in the merger
hearings which are slated to get
underway in ST. Paul, Mimi, Tues
day, October 10. Signing the inter-
vening request were w. R. MCGEE,
Anti-Merger Committee chairman,
and Webb Sullivan, public relations
chairman for the committee.
In their 15-point statement in sup
port of their petition. MCGEE and
Sullivan take issue with various as
sertions by spokesman for MP man
agement in favor of the merger. Some
of the points in contention include:
1. Management's assertions of
declining revenues" and 'skrocket-
ing costs" don't stand up, say the pc
titioners, in face of statements by MP
President Robert MacFarlane at the
April 1861 stockholders meeting,
wherein he spoke with enthusiasm
over NP's having tmore traffic ;.
more business and fortunately,
we have been in the black even in
the thin months where in earlier
years we were always in the red"
The anti-mergerites noted, in this
connection, that MacFarlane reported
dividends to stockholders were up
ten per cent in 1860 as compared with
1859, or 1920 per share as compared
with $500.

board on water P0lluC1On 20 Cne
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare held a conference in Mis-
soula, Anaconda and Butte to listen
to people interested in the waters
of this area.
The sources and amounts of water
available to this nation are basically
the same as when Columbus landed.
Increasing demands of population
growth GOO million by 1980) will
make the pollution image broaden and
likely it will darken. Water needs
will spiral upward.
A suggested national credo recon-
mended by the National Conference
on Water Pollution in December of
1860 included three points:
1. Users of water do not have an
inherent right to pollute.
2. Users of public waters have a
responsibility for returning them as
nearly clean as is technically pos
sible.
8. Prevention is just as important
as control of pollution.
Every citizen of this nation is
involved in the problem of pollu-
ton and its control. Every citizen

SAVING WILL NOT
BENEFIT REGION

B. Rail management figures that
merger will save the carriers $43
million year. This saving will not
help the areas served, say the petit
TONERS, because the saving, although
of benefit to the stockholders
overwhelming majority of whom do
not live in Montana and other North
west states-will be made by de-
creased service and at the expense
of drastic cutbacks in payrolls. Mon
tana towns, such as Forsyth, Glendive,
Miles City, Helena, and Missoula, will
be particularly hard-hit by a sub
stantial cutback in MP employment.
A. Management's contention that
shippers will receive better service
as result of merger is also ques-
toned. The petitioners ask how it will
be possible to run fewer trains along
the MP, concentrate through-freight
on the GIN, and at the same time
provide better service to livestock
and other shippers throughout the
MP trade area of Montana.
5. MP, they infer. also has trust
responsibility for not decreasing it's
service to Montanans. That involves
the huge land grants given the COM
pany upwards of century ago. "The
MP" say the petitioners, "has been
richly endowed through the land
grant, and the incorporating revenue
derived from it (by public largess)
provides an economic stability that
fosters long range planning and i'm
provement of facilities, which could
result in better service to the shipper
and increased prosperity to the COM
munities that built up along the Main
Street of the Northwest"
g. If there must be a railroad merg-
sr, then the ICC should explore the
feasibility of an NP-Milwaukee Road
merger. This, say the anti-mergerites
would be far more practical merg-
n from the standpoint of elimination
# duplicate facilities and providing
! shorter route without having the
devastating economic setback on the
Northwest. 1t would also leave two

ng driven into bankruptcy. as would |

nd the GIN with its subsequent eff
ect on the Milwaukee Road

2. NP's statement that the 5000
job loss on the combined system
would be taken up by attrition-by
retirements, deaths, etc., rather than
large-scale layoffs, also came in for
dispute by the petitioners. Noting
that between 1851 and the present
MP had dropped over 5000 jobs, or
from 1854 to 1913 last year, Nc
Gee and Sullivan contend that with
fewer trains and increased operating
efficiencies that can be made imme-
diately upon ICC approval of the
merger, the job loss will far exceed
that which can be absorbed by attri-
ton.

is a "polluter', and every citizen
is user"
Pollution abatement is prob
lem with roots in rural land use
and agronomy, as well as in urban
congestion and industrial growth.
The two and one-half day confer
ence included all day sessions in Mis-
soula on Wednesday, September 20,
with a banquet that evening. On
Thursday, the Anaconda Company
took participants on field trip
through their stream clean up plant
and hosted a barbecue at the COM
pany's Mt. Hagen ranch in the after
noon. On Friday the conference re-
sumed in Butte for the one-half day

words of doubtful dignity, by saying

stated Montana has used federal as
