WATCH ON THE POTOMAC
By ROBERT G. SPIVACK Washington. D. C.
TX. Washington. D. C.

| HE integrity, our also I'm demon
strating a capacity for constructive
| ideas. This makes him a rare COM
bination.
In an address earlier this year to
the National Press Club Minow noted
that there are now SIS million tele-
vision sets in this country and that
more homes have TV than indoor
plumbing. The average family, he
reports, watches television about 5 u
hours a day.
Perhaps you think-enough al
ready, that's plenty of television,"
he said. But his answer is "No". He
feels that what the nation needs is
more not less. television outlets.
Since this seems so at variance
with what others are saying, Mr..
Minow's argument merits examina-
ton.
The heart of it goes like this
There are now 272 ''television
markets" in the country. Half are
"one-station" markets and about one
fourth of two-station" markets. In
other words in most places the view
er does not have as many as three
stations from which to make a Sc
lection.
What does this mean? AS. Minow
sees it the viewer is likely to get
programs of the lowest common de-
nominator. He gave as an example
the time CHS carried it's excellent
interviews with former President
Eisenhower. Ike happened himself
to be in August, Ca, "two-station"
market.
Until someone remembered this,
the 100000 television homes in Au-
gusta would have had a choice of
two entertainment programs but
would have been unable to see the
former President, in one of the most
candid interviews of his career. In
Ike's case the situation was remedied.
Before Minow came to FEC the
Commission decided to work for use
of all available outlets. What Minow
has fought for, and will soon achieve,
is the all-channel television set which
can receive 70 new channels. Now
we are locked in by the 12-channel
set.
One question is, of course, whether
capital will be put up to finance more
and better television stations. But
there is another question. Will the
big networks fight to keep the view
er's choice limited? The answer
would seem to be yes, they will fight
it.
This leads Minow to raise peril
nent point:
To-day, in television, we find a
situation where we are physically
able to go a lot further toward free
enterprise, and fail to understand
why so many otherwise staunch de-
tenders of our way of life resist
this direction"
The answer, of course, would seem
o be that some broadcasters favor
rec enterprise for the other fellow,
'ut like to play Monopoly where
heir own interests are at stake.
But Minow is not one to let them
IF so easily.
Surely" he said, perhaps tongue

GRANVILLE STUART, FIRST
LAND COMMISSIONER

The first Land Agent had quite a
chore. There were no surveys and
squatters were everywhere. State land
was considered open range and the
poor ladies who were County Super
intendents of Schools were supposed
to inspect the land to see if it was
being used properly. Granville Stu
art, who took the job, had difficulty
getting men to select state land. No
wonder when the pay was $500 per
Gay and no travel allowance.
While other states have allowed
their land heritage to slip through
their fingers, Montana has been
reluctant to release title to this
value to private use. And as the
years go by it is proving to be the
wisest course of action because the
potentials known and unknown in
crease with increasing population
pressures.
The state has been cut off from
gaining more land by law which
forces the state to sell escheated es-
tates back into private hands.
About the only avenue to gain
more land is to establish the states
claim to the islands in our rivers.
This is important in the Glendive
area where the islands are between
two producing oil fields. But to make
even an aerial survey would cost
about $4,000 for the photos.
The gain from the Bureau of Land
in acres which they no
longer wish to control will not in
crease our total acreage because they
will want some in exchange. The
other exchange within the state Of
fees of Forester and the Land Board
only places the acreages in their
right category. Timber land will be
for grazing land.

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT FOR
MORE LANDS REVENUE

All in all little hope is seen by
state and school officials for in
creased revenue from our school
lands The ridiculously low grazing
rental will be even lower next year
dropping from the present 48 cents
per animal unit month to As cents
next year. The legislative cowboys"
will oppose all efforts to secure fair
and equitable rentals off school lands.
The price of beef at the butcher shop
is reaching toward a new high.
The share crops which used to
bring in a million and half dollars
yearly dropped below million last
year because of the drought, and
climbed over the million mark this
year even though most wheat farmers
diverted 10 per cent of their fields
to summer fallow.
Oil rents and royalties have de-
clined.

FRANKLY SPEAKING
By FRANK SMALL

ALI the cows, grains, tourist recrea-
ton or copper put out by this great
State of Montana pale into trivia
when you consider our truly great
product-great people.
Our great people are the leaders
in almost any field you can think of.
Science, politics, business, literature
or any other endeavor of the mind
or body has been endowed with a
Montana name. For the small num-
Der of persons in the state we are
disproportionately high in the num-
Der of outstanding people of the
world. But the foundation of our
mental proves education
is being eroded away as we joy
ride in our Queenair and Cadillacs
and relax in front of the boob tube
of TV.
The education industry by the
thinking of our present propaganda
masters must take a back seat to
beefsteaks, Wheaties, motels and
Reddy Kilowatt. The systematic
bleeding of the state and its people
must continue for the absentee own
ers and their lackey politicos.
The error of that line of thinking
is apparent to one and all because
although we are able to pay all that
the trafficking of the private pirates
can impose upon us, we know in our
hearts as members of the American
civilization that the classrooms are
the power beyond dollars, beyond
the pleasures of creature comfort,
beyond the glory of the moon jungle.
The unfolding of the young mind
by a skilled teacher is the true
miracle of Montana and this beau
tiful activity is one of the few pub
lie responsibilities really worthy of
our tax generating ability.

A FEDERAL INHERITANCE
OF LONG STANDING

Other than the neighborhood levies
upon which so much dependence the
local school boards have been forced
to turn to by the last and worst Leg
islature. the schools in Montana have
an inheritance from our national poll
cy of long standing-federal aid. This
federal equalization is administered
by the constitutional Land Board
and the present and fifteenth Land
Commissioner Mons Tiegen. I t
amounts to slightly more than 10
per cent of the Foundation Program,
which attempts to equalize classroom
opportunity for every child in Mon
tana.
Sections sixteen and thirty-six of
every township were granted to the
State by the Congress in the Enabling
Act which got us going in 1889. Be-
cause of the homesteads and Indian
reservations other lands were selected
by the State to make up the differ
ence. The land can not be sold except
at public auction for SIS for grazing
and $40 for agricultural as the S art
ing prices per acre. Any money
gained from such sales goes into
the Permanent Fund.
Of the original 5,188,000 acres
granted we have 4,613,908.84 acres
left in trust to the Public Schools
and $39,466,838 in the Permanent
Fund. Units of the University and
other institutions also have grants
of land.
Five per cent from the total an
nual income from grazing rentals,
crop shares, oil lease rentals, interest
on land contracts and interest also
goes into the Permanent Fund. In |
