iva Is Tennessee's
Biggest Taxpayer
American Public Power Assocfatfon

American Public Power Association
Revenue Commissioner Don
aid M. King of Tennessee said
last week that the Tennessee
Valley Authority pays more
money into the State treasury
than any other single agency
or firm. Last year the Authority
paid $3,220,000 in lieu of taxes
to the State, he added.
The commissioner said this amount
was more than the state taxes paid
by Southern Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Co., E. |. dupont de Nemours
q Co. and Eastman Kodak Co.. all
big Tennessee taxpayers.
The Nashville TENNESSEAN used
Commissioner Kings report to refute
a statement made by Sen. Goldwater
(R-Ariz.) that the sale of IVA TO
private interests would be a 'stax
boom to the State of Tennessee.
Senator Goldwater's proposal
found little favor in the Tennessee
Valley. Tennessee's three RepubIi-
can Congressman, including Gold
water backed William E. Brock of
Chattanooga, issued statements
indicating that they want no part
of sell-TVA plan.
Sen. Cooper (R-Ky.) said he didn't
think anyone would sell IVA. no
matter who is elected President.
while Sen. Sparkman DALAI called
the Goldwater proposal "entirely i'm
PRACTICAL. Rep. Stubblefield (D-Ky.)
said the idea was '.the most asinine.

ITSELF, the nations total econ
omy has the major import on our
well-being in Montana"
Fischer suggested that one avenue
to improving our economy is "the
market approach. What can we pro-
duce to meet a market demand in
view of our distance from major
centers? Can we more fully utilize
our resources to overcome transpor-
tation costs to markets? Can we Gre
ate a demand for something we have
to offer? On the latter, he suggested
that our recreation resource can be
more fully utilized to bring more
money into Montana's economy.
There are various avenues open
to improve the states economic eli
mate, but of prime Importance still
is our number one endeavor, agTicul-
ture. More intensified research to
develop new uses for agricultural
products is of major Importance.
Timber is another resource which,
aided by continuing research, bids
fair to have an even greater role in
the states economy in years ito come.
Fischer also encouraged the great
err use of co-operatives of all kinds
as means of obtaining capital on

Interstate IS Routing
Public Interest Prevails Over
Engineers at Highway Meeting

For the first time in the his
tory of Interstate highway con-
struction in Montana the road
way will not consist of bottom
land alfalfa fields and stream
beds, if the Highway Commits
sion has anything to say about
it. This week the commission
vowed it would do all possible to
secure Bureau of Public Roads con-
currence in locating a section of I-15
between Stickney and Hardy Creeks
above the Missouri Creek can
yon, even though the hill route will
cost half million dollars more to
construct.
Two alternate bottom routes would
have destroyed ranch by crossing
the river with bridges or by divert
ing the natural channel along with
destroying a wonderful recreation
area presently accessible from the
Helena-Great Falls primary road.
For the first time the Highway has
lifted its eyes from the routine of
traffic counts, grades and costs to
consider the world in which they
are SO intent to cover with an asphalt
blanket. Other things are really hap
pening and are of more permanent
value than even the Interstate high
way system. Hard for the road makers
to believe but true.
If the BPR gets pennywise they
are apt to be pounded foolish if they
to bullheadedly disturb the
river and the ranch at this point.
Meeting jointly with the Bureau
If Public Roads, Forest Service and
he Highway, a delegation from Sand
srs county heard the plans for ex-
pending 2.3 million dollars ON forest
highways in the coming fiscal year.
Headed by County Commissioner
'ack HARDWOOD, the delegation was
aced with unique problem.
No funds were budgeted for right
f-way purchases on the 100000
Upper King job which services an
rea of about thirty families. Unless
ne county can furnish the right-of-
tay they will lose the job. Included
l the right-of-way is a house which
I'LL cost the county $4,000.
HARDWOOD told the group it was
ifficult to tell at this time whether
ard pressed Sanders county would 6
ave sufficient money in it's budget r
} acquire the necessary right-of-w e
ut would let them know for sure p
efore August of the coming year.
HARDWOOD was told that the forest Il
'ads money could not be diverted q
other work in the county but would
vert to other forest projects. h
Another delegation from Anaconda, fl
ambition and Philipsburg were able tt
halt a three-mile project set up for pl
e Skalkaho Pass which had been
signed at primary standards. The w
100000 job will be reduced to sec til

ondary standards which will stretch
the money out to possibly ~ miles.
While it is argued that lower stand
ards cost twice as much to maintain
in the long run, it is felt that it is
more important to have the roads
serviceable to increase the traffic
flow. This same thinking may get the

The cost of this years forest roads
had to be revised upward by $4,000

THE MONTANA SCENE
Drs. Fischer and Kraenzel dealt
primarily with economic and socio-
logical problems facing Montana.
Kraenzel placed his emphasis on
the Community, and how it needs
to be small enough for people to
know each other, to secure support
from each other. and to effectively
cooperate together. With ever great
er industrialization and mass popu-
lation centers, it is Kraenzel's con-
tention that we've lost much of our
earlier close association that
people as individuals are being sub
merged and forgotten -. that some
way we must rekindle the need for
individual participation in group ac-
ton.
The individual, to maintain his
individuality, KraenzeI contended,
must again have the feeling and
the desire of being wanted and
needed.
Formation and operation of CO.
operatives, he suggested, offers a
for individuals to give of their
worth and their wisdom to further
ance of the common well-being of
the community. s
In closing, Kraenzel dropped the {
bombshell which later was to be the |
center of much discussion when he h
challenged Labor to form a consumer +
cooperative "by next Easter. a

IN FINAL ANALYSIS
POLITICAL ACTION is KEY

DIR. Kelly said that in final analy-
| sis, much depends ON the political
climate of the state. "We must use
political action" he insisted, 'to
help accomplish the important eco
nomic and sociological goals and
aims" as outlined at the institute.
This type of action must be used
to "alter the existing power struc-
ture" in state governmental affairs,
so that greater impetus can be placed
behind such important job and bust
ness-creating developments as null
tiple use of our water resource.
He also contended we must work
to develop a desire among Mon
tana people to participate more
fully in citizenship.
"One institution we can't afford
to lose if we are to change the power
structure and achieve equity" Kelly
emphasized, sis THE PEOPLES

KRAENZEL'S "BOMBSHELL"
While not discounting the merits
behind forming consumer co-ops,
overworked union officers wanted to
know how they could take on this
added responsibility particularly
in view of rank-an d-file union men
always insisting on the greatest of
economy in the operation of unions.
Two "18-horr day Robert
Weller, Kalispell, executive secretary
of the Montana Lumber & Sawmil
Workers, and John Caldwell, Mis-
soula, executive director of State,
County & Municipal Employees, en-
ohasized that already, with the null
5iplicity of responsibilities they and
other paid union officials must dis
charge, they have little time left for
anything of personal nature, let
alone even more responsibilities.
William Shawl, Libby LSW bust
less agent, pointed out that credit
lnions are a form of cooperative;
hat union men do not patronize
heir own credit unions as much as
hey should, and that, again, keeping
UGH institutions operating, falls on
