Credit Unions
Nation s Lowest
Cost Lenders

NEW YORK (CNS) THE
least expensive consumer credit is
provided by credit unions, the Ma
tional Bureau of Economic Research
says.
Paul Smith, professor of finance
at the University of Pennsylvania
shows in his 30-page study, COST
OF PROVIDING CONS UMER
CREDIT, that borrowers pay $24 a
year for each 500 of outstanding
credit at the typical consumer fl
nance company, $16.5O year at
sales finance company, $40 year at
commercial bank, and SO year at
a credit union.
Credit union success is based large
ly on lower operating expenses, the
study shows. They spend less on
salaries and rent, much less on adj
vertising. They provide, however,
$73c worth of life insurance for each
S10O a year of outstanding credit,
while competitors offer none.
Credit unions pay no income tax,
Smith shows. Consumer finance COM
panies pay $2.73 income tax for each
500 of credit; sales finance COM
ranies SLOT; and commercial banks,
$1.33. Credit unions non-profit char
acter and user ownership, however,
leave little to tax.
Credit unions get nearly all the
they lend from their MEM
bers. Ninety per cent is equity
capital, compared with 1919 for COM
mercial banks, 1870 for sales finance
and $50 for consumer
finance companies.

w Observation-Disclosures
When government program
is carried on in complete Sc
crecy, some strange things are
almost sure to happen. A shock
ing example is provided by the
Defense Stockpile story, some
chapters of which have been re-
ported in LABOR. New ones were
added during the past two weeks at
further hearings before a Senate in
vestigating committee headed by
Senator Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) /.
The story dates back to the Korean
War, when Congress authorized and
the Truman Administration began
to carry out, a program under which
the government bought scores of met
ais, minerals and other materials,
even feathers, and stockpiled them
for use in a possible larger war. Most
of the buying was done during the
Eisenhower administration, and all
of it was done secretly on the ground
of national security.
When President Kennedy came in,
he said it was high time to take a
public look into the stockpile, and the
job was assigned to Symington's COM
mlttee. 1t Immediately began to I'M
cover huge scandals in the buying of
particular metals and materials, and
brought out the central fact that the
program has been used as a world
wide price-support system, yielding
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. bonanzas for both
domestic and foreign interests who
had the inside track.
The Senate committee figures
that the stockpile program so far
has cost the American taxpayers
about SO billion, of which at least
81 billion went for materials in ex-
cess of amounts needed in any
possible war.
Previous chapters of the story, as
LABOR reported, involved Treasury
Secretary George M. Humphrey and
others high in the Eisenhower Ad-
Now testimony and
documentary evidence presented to
the Symlngton committee have added
the following new developments:
Felix A. Wormser, who was AS
sistant Secretary of the Interior in
the Eisenhower Administration, testi-
fled that the government lost $11.5
million by buying chromium ore for

Pass, Ore, at more than twice the
market price.
Wormser said he at first opposed |
his chromium contract, but later
'succumbed to pressure" from sew
rial members of Congress and from
Douglas Mckay, then Secretary of
he Interior. Documentary evidence

Water Conservation Board
Has Built I8I Projects

Montana water for Mon.

over and over again by the
witchdoctors of the private
utilities until you would mag
inc that the clouds scudding
up from the Japanese current
were a private endeavor of
these monopolies.
Montana voter for Montana Peo-
pie" will be chanted again by the
remittance men in the 38th Legisla-
tive Assembly in an attempt to be-
cloud the issue of multi-purpose
water development projects. Such
chants become stumbling blocks for
the people of Montana in developing
their own water resources.
Montana's State Water Conserva-
ton Board has constructed 181 prof.
ects: 141 dams and reservoirs have
been built to store 438,017 acre-feet.
Some of these storage projects also
have diversion structures and canals
duu lilCIuQO tC PIOJCSUo Will
1858 miles of canals permitting the
use of 26O,563 acre-feet of direct
stream flow. The water supplies 405,-
582 acres of land. Also constructed
have been 1876 miles of pipeline for
domestic water supply and 24.36
miles of transmission line for pump
ing projects.
Alex McDermott, secretary of the
water board, told the Montana Recla-
nation Association in a recent speech
before their convention:
THINKS STATE SHOULD
ADOPT FEDERAL POLICY
"The federal government has rec
ognized the benefits of flood control,
fish and wildlife, stream sterilization
and water control as non-reimburs-
ables and discounted the cost of the
project to the irrigators for each
item. I think it is time for the State
of Montana to also face up to and
recognize these classifications as nom
items. If this were done
it would expedite quite drastically
the construction of other irrigation
projects in the state"

1861 DROUGHT PROVED
VALUE OF WATER PROJECTS

The drought year of 1861 proved
conclusively that Montana's financial
wellbeing depends upon water re-
source development 1t must be real
lied that the water user himself is
not the sole beneficiary of water de-
velopment projects. And project
to be of value to Montana must be
considered not only in how much in
come it will produce for a single pur-
pose, but for how many areas it will
affect of our environment and econ
omy.
Montana's Water Board, which was
created to cooperate with the federal
agencies who are capable of realiz-
ing long term benefits, should be
given the go ahead signal to use the
same type of standards in evaluating

lSWCB has made surveys of 1872
proposed projects and has made linn
tied Investigations of 1872 others but
because of limited funds and high
costs the board, which is principally
d construction agency, now has a
dormant existence, except for giving
attention to the management prob
lens of the users association although
said McDermott, cit has not been
the desire of the Board to perpetuate
its existence by building up a large
management department. On the con-
trary, it has placed the operation of
it's projects insofar as possible with
the local water users through their
associations"
Montana's Water Board was Gre
ated in 1884 to cooperate with the
federal WPA and PWA administra-
tions which were originally set up
to provide work for people. Not only
were jobs created but in the past 20
years $13,0OO,00O has been invested
by the board for wafer users, which
is equal to the potential income of
the board. The water has produced a
vast increase in income for the users
which has been responsible for con-
siderable portion of Montana's eco
nomic worth.

Beaverhead, five-term veteran who
has represented his present county in
two sessions, and, during the Forties.
was legislator for three terms from
Mlssoula county. House majority
leader will be Alex Blewett of Cas-
cade, who served his freshman ses-
sion in 1861.
AT the same Republican caucus,
seven-session veteran Sen. Jack S.
Bremen, also of Beaverhead. was
named Senate minority leader.
Reports are that at the caucus last
month the Republican House leader
ship also parceled out committee as
signments for all House members.
This practice, followed two years ago,
brought much criticism from Demo
Gratis because minority members were
assigned with little or no regard for
their committee preferences. Veter-
an Democrats with experience on
various committees were shunted off
onto other ones where they had Meth
er experience nor interest.
DEMOS TO CAUCUS SUNDAY
Democrats will caucus Sunday to
determine leadership in both legis-
lative houses. Most prominently men,
toned for House minority leadership
are Magnus Aasheim, Sheridan; Ray
Wayrynen, Silver Bow, and Truman
Bradford, Cascade. For the Senate
speaker position, the name most often
brought up in political circles is
Eugene Mahoney, Democrat from
Sanders.
For President Pro Tempore AID |
Interim, veteran Dave Manning of
Treasure is most talked about. Also
considered possible candidates for
either post are longtime legislators

OTHERS COMING TO
HELENA. TOO

In addition to the "a House MEM
bers and Sc Senators, and the wives
of many of them, there will also be
approximately one hundred people
employed as legislative personnel.
And, using 1861 as a guide, during
the session approximately $50 lobby
lists will be on hand part or all of the
time as the 'fthird house" goes about
informing and assisting legislators
on various problems and pending
legislation.
This years session will probably
cost Montana taxpayers in excess of
half million dollars. Ten years ago,
legislative sessions involved expendi-
lures of approximately half that
amount. 1t will not be known until
mid-March whether the people have
gotten their moneys worth.
