Interior Official Contends STORICAL SOCIETY
Full Development Of Resources
Must Be Done On Basin Basis

Comprehensive integrated join
planning between the state and fed
eral government in the field of water
and related land resources was the
subject of a presentation by Henry
Caulfield, Washington, D. c., at q
seminar held at the Montana State
University School of Forestry last
Thursday afternoon.
Caulfield, who is stop brass" in
the Interior Department, talked about
river basin development and possible
legislation to implement water re-
sources council composed of four
secretaries of Cabinet status. that
would concern itself with the develop
ment of principles, standards. poll
cies and regulations in the field of
water and related land resources
planning.
Part of the planning would include
the means for "better coming to-
gether" of the state and federal agen-
cies in comprehensive planning.
The high-level presentation by In
terior's Assistant Director. Resources
Program staff, was keyed for pro-
fessional ears, rather than general
public consumption.
He stated that planning on water
resources development should be on
a fully comprehensive basin basis in
the concept that all beneficial uses
should be considered in the planning
process. For instance, recreation
should be considered full purpose
and not by-product, and all uses
should stand on par for considera-
ton in the planning process; in the
cost ALLEGATION all should participate
in joint cost.
The new attitude toward resource
development planning is encom-
passed in Senate Document No. 81,
an executive policy instruction to
which was termed ga
change from immediate
past procedures
The sense of the program is that
the whole country may benefit eco
from resource development,
and in broad terms conserve the water
supply, preserve natural resources in
their natural state, and take that
form which will be for the we'll being
of all the people.
1t is important, according to Caul-
field, that state, regional and ma
tional points of view should come
INTO the picture.

WASHINGTON, D. Cash divi-

of October were almost $40,000,000
higher than year ago, pushing the
figures for the first 10 months of the
year up by considerable margin.
Cash dividends for the 10-month
period during 1862 reached SILL
e95.6 millions as compared with
$11,OO16 millions during the same
period a year ago, a boost of 1884,

Manufacturing accounted for about
$27O,O0O,OOO of the gain; oil refining
for $120,00O,OO0; finance for $780,

$12O,O0O,OOO. Railroads and mining,

Markets. survey reveals that while
nearly 500 were graduated from Mon
tana colleges with teaching degrees
during this same period, less than
400 of them could be found in Mon
tana schools on November 1, 1861.
Of the total, more than 1870 had
taken teaching positions out of Mon
tana, the others were in non-teaching
positions.
Why did Montana lose these teach.
ers? Markets. survey reveals that
the largest percentage of teachers, or
1910, who left Montana positions
did so to return to homemaking-
marriage, maternity, to assume or re-
sumo family responsibilities, etc. The
second largest group, or $3.50, in
cludes those who accepted positions
in other states, particularly in other
western states. The third largest
group, or 11.4%o, is comprised of
those teachers who left teaching to
return to college. The fourth largest
group, or 1920, consists of those who
entered other employment.

Smith and that his office be con-
suited for any suggestions or ques-
tions which might arise.
Although there are some flaws in
the lease form itself, and in spite of
Legislative generosity to the oil in
dustry, the leasing of school oil land
has been very successful because
instead of book of policies the state
has had the services of a brilliant
career woman, Eva Smith. Her many
years of devoted service to the pc
culiarities of the underground treas
ure and the perversities of the COM
panies which bring forth black gold
upon which our tin lizzie civilization
is built has paid off with about a
million and half dollars yearly for
our public schools.
No book can be written beautifully
enough to replace our Eva.
In order to keep the county govern
ment of economically stricken Silver
Bow from failing, another 100000

of Land Board funds to that county.
They had previously received $85,320
and will have to have another loan
to carry them through the fiscal year
of 1864. The $4,000 monthly pay
roll and jury and election costs have
caused the county to lag $28O,000

tana to teach in other states. The
other II western states attracted 2s
of this group. The gain in salary for
men-who had an average of 42s
years of college-was 1886 for the
first year. The gain in salary for
women-whc had an average of four
years of college-was $706.
Average first-year salary gain for
all teachers who took positions in
other western states was 1921, rang
ing from an individual salary loss of
$3.50 to gain of $4,000.
The most significant cited single
reason given by teachers who left
Montana schools to enter other
employment was community indif-

Gently concluded survey by the re.

cation Association reveals.
CAUSE FOR SERIOUS CONCERN
"This loss,'' reports Lloyd Markell
research director, sis most serious in
view of the nationwide shortage of
competent, qualified teachers. The
loss in Montana is further aggravated
by our inability to produce an ade-
quate supply of requirements from
our Montana colleges and then to at
tract them to Montana positions. The
Montana Education Association is
seriously concerned over the effect
which our high rate of teacher loss
may have on the quality of education
available to Montana boys and girls. !"
The MEA Research Departments
study of teacher turnover reveals
that there were 3O2 additional
teachers employed in 1961-62. The
loss of 1900 and the demand for
additional teachers give rise to the
serious problem faced by nearly
every school board and administra-
tor in finding qualified, competent
requirements.

State Land Board Holds off On
Preparation Of Leasing Rules

Tuesday, the Land Board was paid
an unwelcome visit by two Billings
oil boys, Dave Shaennum and Walter
Sapp, who raised an issue which had
been tabled a year ago by the then
Gov. Don Nutter, Attorney General
Forrest Anderson, Secretary of State
Frank Murray and Supt. of Public
instruction Harriet Miller. The Leg
islature had asked that the Land
Board publish it's rules and policies
regarding the handling of oil leases,
and the pair wanted to know what
the Land Board was doing about it.
Such a publication would receive
national and international examina-
ton and no machinery for it's crea-
ton was suggested by the Legisla-
ture.
Murray struck at the hidden mo-
tive for suddenly awakening the Rip
Van Wrinkle issue at this time. The
Legislature could review the policies
Of the Board if they wished to iron
out any "bugs" they see in the sys-
tenn but the sudden production of
published rules is not feasible at this
