Informal Visit
To Macmillan
IN THE WEST WITH KEN

IN THE WEST WITH KEN
NEEDY, June 7 (AP).-President
Kennedy will meet with British
Prime Minister Macmillan for
informal talks" during Mr..
Kennedy's late-June trip to
Europe, the White House an
nounced today.
Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary, said Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. Macmillan would
get together late on June 20,
following the Presidents visit
to Ireland. Mr.. Kennedy then
will continue on to Italy on
June 80.
Before Mr.. Kennedy left the
aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk
to witness military displays
ashore, Mr.. Salinger read a
statement which began:
"As it is now six months
since they last met and there
are a number Of problems they
can usefully discuss, President
Kennedy and Prime Minister
Macmillan have felt it would
be useful to take advantage
of the Presidents trip to
Europe to have informal talks
together"
To Confer in Sussex
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Mac
milan will confer in Sussex.
The President will be the
Prime Minister'S guest at Birch
Grove House, Chelwood Gate,
Sussex.
The two leaders last met in
the Bahamas in mid-December
At that time, they developed a
Joint plan, now the subject of
much inter-allied controversy,
to equip the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization with a
multi-nation nuclear force that
would include Polaris missile
firing ships.
In London, British officials
said Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Mac
milan will discuss inter-ailied
defense and the prospects of
improved East-West relations.
M. Kennedy, according to
diplomatic authorities in Lon
don. accepted Mr.. Macmillan's
invitation to make a brief STOP
over after considerable thought.
Campaign Builds Up
On the one hand he is anxious
not to be drawn into the polit-
zeal campaigning building up in
Britain in advance of a general
election due by October, 1864,
On the other. he is equally
anxious to give no offense to
Mr.. Macmillan, who is rated in
Washington as one Of the Pres
ident's good friends and trusted
allies.

Water Need Seen Up l55
Per Cent In Next 20 Years

Use of water for agriculture is ex-
pected to increase 20 per cent in the
next 20 years, and for industry and
non-agricultural uses 1873 per cent,
according to predictions by Economic
Research Service.
Agriculture-and specifically irri-
gatfon-nevertheless will remain the
big user In 1860, for example, it ac-
counted for about 38 per cent of all
water withdrawn from ground and
surface sources, but for about 83 per
cent of water finally consumed or
not reuseable.
Irrigated crops maze up about 20
per cent of the total value of crop out
put, and about go per cent of irri-
gated land is in the west. In the east,
irrigation is generally a farm-by-
farm undertaking in contrast with
large scale western irrigation prof.
ects.

In Defense of Liberalism

| Editor, Peoples Voice:
Robert Welch, and the other right
wingers, along with his comrades
| arms, the conservatives, have taken
great pains to paint liberals, and lib
eralism as the political force respons-
| IDLE for a so-called decline in American
| liberties. While it usually accomplishes
little to argue with these deluded peo-
pie, this charge is so serious that it
dare not go unchallenged. Let us see
what the voice of history has to say
in this regard.
The American Revolution, as we all
know, was a fight for freedom: free
dom from want, from fear; freedom
of religion, speech, press, assembly.
The Constitution, as originally planned,
did not specifically recognize these
freedoms. So the liberals pressed for
BILL OF RIGHTS. Thus the first ten
amendments to the Constitution were
added, providing for and specifically
recognizing the liberties for which the
Revolution had been fought. The Lib
erals fought for this legislation. To
listen to the RICH -wingers, it was the
conservative element which brought
the Bill of Rights about.
Let us continue this very enlighten-
ing look backward into our history.
The America of 1889 included the ''pecu-
liar institution known as slavery A
liberal President, Lincoln, abolished
clearly be seen in his planned policy
towards the defeated Southern states.
Had he lived, his policies would no
doubt have been adopted.
Who. then, after Lincoln's death, put
into effect the Reconstruction Acts,
which literally crucified the South? The
Radical Republicans in Congress. Not
the true liberals, like President Andrew
Johnson, who fought for LIBERTY and
forgiveness, and lenient reconstruction
for the South. So hard did Johnson
fight these Radical Republicans, the
forerunners of the present-day Right
Wingers, that they had him impeached.
He fought for LIBERTY, yet they had
him impeached Sounds like a present
day imp eachment movement, sponsored
by the LIBERALS?? Heavens, no. BY
those great defenders of fundamental
American liberties, the Right Wingers!!

On the Assassination of

quently heard our late Presidents name
spoken with sneer, Attorney General
Robert Kennedy called BOBBY" and
acid references to the Kennedy dyn-
asty'. In modern. civilized, Christian
America it seems dangerous to be like
the Kennedys-to be talented, brilliant,
beautiful and born to wealth. You be-
come a target for vindictiveness, jeal-
ousy and hate. For years we have been
hard at work plotting the political
climate of hate and violence that nour-
isheS an assassin.
The chief suspect to the crime was
remarkable in a number of ways. In
"a years he had managed to switch
political allegiance three times and the
resulting publicity must have made
him known to the Dallas police yet
he held % job (and sniper's position)
along the route of the Presidents mo-
torcade. This suspect was no ordinary
sniper; he had been expertly trained
in the us. Marines.
Isn't it time we stop the compulsory
military training of our youth in the
black art of murder? And isn't 1T also
time to stop destroying one another
with vicious or petty acts of hate like
anonymous phone calls and threats of
violence? Dear hearts and gentle peo-
pie, it's UP to you. If yOu live In city
where love is locked out. how Foolish
to guard against hate. (That last
thought was contained in the speech
our President never gave in Dallas,
Texas.) Sincerely-BARBARA HAUGE,

This is sufficient electricity to light

Myhre added: Hungry Horse usu-
ally becomes big power producer

into the spring."
During these months Montana also
becomes a power exporter. In sum-
mer power is imported.
Hungry Horse is furthest upstream
of large dams in the Columbia River
system. Water here is released after
pleted, and helps turn generators at
Montana Power Co. Kerr and Thomp-
son Falls plants, and Washington
Water Power dams at Noxon and
Cabinet Gorge. Before reaching the
Pacific, the water from Hungry Horse
turns turbines and generators at such
big federal dams as Grand Coulee and
Chief Joseph as we'll.
The 34-mile long Hungry Horse
Reservoir has been full each summer
since Hungry Horse Dam was COM
pleted in 1853. Fear S years ago was
that mud flats would greet summer
visitors, but that's not been the case.
Reservoir level Thursday (the 12th)
was down 1858 feet above sea level

The excise tax on tea precipitatet
am incident known as the Boston Tea
Party at the onset of our Revolution
airy War. Since then excise taxes have
become generally accepted and form
the major source of revenue for ma
tional and state governments. The
income tax is form of excise tax.
Excise taxes are designed to hol.
low out pocketbooks.
Last Thursday the Governors Com
mittee on Economic Studies re-en-
acted scene which King George III
must have gone through in deciding
to impose a revenue stamp on tea
to make sales legal. ALI the same
pressures were upon the administra-
ton then as they are now-costs are
going up and more money was
needed.
At least that was the feeling ex-
pressed by everyone, but that's the
trouble with Montana government.
Tt is done by feeling, by guess and
by gosh. There is no solid figure to
show what is needed next. We have
no statistical center to record and
develop the trends.
The lack of Observation-Disclosures
statistical data is part of the per-
petual difficulty the Board of Equal
ization finds itself in.
Because our government lacks such
a statistical center the only other
way to know what is really needed in
the way of taxes is to have an indie
pendent study by the Princeton Uni
versity group or someone of similar
stature. Such a study would take a
number of years and would cost a
third or more of a million dollars.
Dan Fulton, chairman of the Board
of Equalization, said that he thought
such statistical work could be done
by his tax-collecting agency if they
could hire three or more people to
spend full time on the problem.
Richard E. Shannon, Montana State
University economist, had the i'm
preston that if such data were avail
able it would be possible to strike
upon a simple formula for our gen.
eral tax needs. He cited our Founda-
ton Program for school assistance IS
what he meant. The Foundation Pro-
gram, as finally worked over by the
last Legislature, has proven to be
one of the simplest formulas ever
developed by any state.
Shannon was able to explore the
sales tax question although he ad-

clear of the sales tax because it wa.
political suicide" to promote it.
He said that the sales tax would
not be a replacement tax and that
ne was opposed to any replacement
tax because it would amount to an
unearned windfall gain.
| A sales tax would be able to hit
| about so per cent of taxable sales
which amount to about billion and
half year in Montana. A two PEI
cent sales tax on this $40 million
would yield SIG million in new reve-
nue.. A four per cent tax would bring
$33 million.
In order to make the sales tax
politically palitable Shannon sug-
gested that $25 per head refund
be made by the income tax division
every May to start the summer buy
ing season off with a bang. He would
limit the refund to 500 per family
thus penalizing those with more than
two children. This sugar coating
would cost about $12 million.
y
A head or poll tax of $40 each was
suggested by someone and Shannon
dubbed this also political suicide"
for anyone promoting it.
Shannon said that in order for the
sales tax to bring in what was hoped
of it it would have to have as broad
a base as possible. No exemptions
could be allowed for food, etc. 1t
might be possible to exempt drugs
and hospitals plus hay and feed sales
but to be effective it would have to
include the 80 per cent of the income
taxpayers of the state who are in
the below $4,000 a year bracket.
Keith Anderson, of the Taxpayers
Association, attempted to show that
the property taxes had risen in this
state because we don't have sales
tax.
He was asked if he had any sug-
gestions and he said, "Do you think
I'm nuts
Gov. Tim Babcock had even less
to offer in the way of solution for
the growing need for revenue. With
his usual general platitudes and shall

ing by suggesting that they ought to

Observation-Disclosures
Der IA smouldering public versus
private power fight broke out anew
today in the House Interior Commit
tee over federal policies concerning
the right of private companies to use
public lands for TRANSMISSION facili-
ties.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1963-12-20

Reps. Ed EdmundSOn (D-Okla.) j,
and Morris X. Udall DARBY, OBJ
jected to resolution seeking to fore
stall new public domain right-of-way
regulations. They claimed adoption
of the resolution would be a slap at
Secretary of Interior Stuart Udall and
Secretary of Agriculture Orville Free
man. Their objections succeeded.
The two departments issued
regulations last March that said
any private power company want
ing a permit to build transmission
facilities across public lands must
agree to share excess transmission
capacity with the federal power
marketing agencies. The regula-
tions also said the secretaries could
disallow applications if they were
in conflict with the interests of the
federal power marketing program.
The committee was considering a
resolution which said the regulations
should be held in allegiance pending
a review to be made under a Public
Lands Review Commission. The COM
mission itself. however, has not yet
been authorized by Congress.
Edmundson and Udall objected be-
cause there were no hearings on the
resolution. Udall said the method of
bringing the resolution to the full
committee violated procedures" of
the committee, and Rep. Harold T.
Johnson (D-Calif.) said 'fthere is a
lot more at stake than meets the eye
here.'
What did not "meet the eye" was
the method used to get the resolu-
ton before the subcommittee, and
its subsequent referral to the full
committee.
Rep. Walter Barring -(D-Nevada),
chairman of the Public Lands sub
committee, gave this explanation to
reporters after the committee session
ended:
Joseph A. McElwain, legal repre-
sentative of Montana Power Com
pany, asked Barring to sponsor such
a resolution. Barring then introduced
McElwain to an Interior Committee
staff member, who actually wrote the
resolution and later presented it at
the request of Barring.
The key language said: ''The COM
mittee believes it imperative to the
success and impartiality of the review
that amendm ents to the electric trans
mission line right of-way regulations
be withdrawn or that their applica-
ion be deferred :"
Barring also said he took the action
ut the request of Fred Fletcher of
he Sierra Pacific Power Company.
He noted, too, that Harold Quinton,
chairman of the board of Southern
California Sdison Company, had made
/ similar request.
Barring quoted Fletcher as saying
he regulations were "holding up
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
If construction
Rep. Wayne Aspinall (D-Colo.),
chairman of the full Interior Com
nittee, said the resolution would
show the displeasure of the COM
nittee to the present philosophy of
