Payable In Advance ONE YEAR ...................... ...... $2.00 What may happen to Bonne ville Is going to be a question that will bother some citizens of the northwest for some time, if the decision of the appropriations committee in the house is indi cative of the feeling of the entire congress. News reports have it that the department of interior budget has been cut about 60 percent, a large part of which came off the appro priation for the Bonneville admin istration. The Columbia • river project also suffered a big cut. The Deschutes project was not hurt. It seems entirely possible that there is more to the story than the influence of eastern congress men who want to cut appropria tions to the western power sys tems to prevent removal of popu lations to this area. There is pro bably some private power com pany influence but it has not been so effective as the public power company influence for sorrx-Ume. Also there seems to be a general feeling that govern mental provision for irrigation projects is not necessary as long as we are paying to prevent a surplus of some farm products. A recent news story may ex plain a part of the cut for Bonne ville. It tells of the trouble the committee had. in getting informa tion from Raver. Mr Raver should know that when he ap pears before a committee asking for money he should be prepared to tell how his last appropriation was spent. Committees are some what like bankers in that respect; they want to know what became of the last ten million. Perhaps properly so. It is inconceivable that congress would handicap Bonneville so It could not operate. It might cur- tal appropriations so that expan sion would be slower than the administration desires. It might restrict its development of power and let other agencies do the distributing of it. It certainly will do nothing so drastic as to pre vent its operation. It is not inconceivable that congress should call a halt on some of the reclamation projects that were in the interior budget. About two-thirds of the appropri ation for the Columbia basin pro ject in Washington was cut out. This is probably the Grand Coulee irrigation scheme that would irri gate thousands of acres of wind blown wheat land. If that be true congress is not so crazy. The west, and its planned de velopment by government aid, will surely be hurt whenever the federal income taxes are reduc ed. You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs, and you can’t reduce taxes without cut ting appropriations Some west erners have come to believe that the only kind of progress worth having is in vast irrigation projects that will bring more people. Ac tually few of these projects have been paid out, and the people jvho have settled on them have not always been accepted by the first settlers of the district. Trying to make alfalfa and to matoes bloom where grease wood has barely survived is quite an undertaking and no one, govern ment included, has done a very good j<<) of it.

Whenever some one got a free day, or a little extra time, they’d coifle dver and help out with paint and brush. And Cy, to show his apprecia tion, held a big "barn warming” Saturday—for all the folks who’d helped him (but not barring those who couldn’t). Ma Hartman sup plied sandwiches, and Cy rolled out a mellow keg of beer. You’d never think of a barn as “homelike.” But with those lanterns hanging from the rafters; make shift tables spread heavy with food; and Ed Carey’s fiddle play ing while the folks enjoyed their beer—Cy’s barn was sure a mighty hospitable-looking place! From where I ait, it’s just about an appropriate to have a bam warming as a housewarming . . . if only because it’s another chance to get neighbors together in a spirit of good fellowship. _ L E T ■ fk V ni Y M W irtA IIR U I H r- V herein by the Hon.

Because you as a Telephone User, have an important stake in the issues w e’d like to give some straight answers to questions you may have about the strike situation up to date. —v / W h y Is T h e re a T e le p h o n e S t r ik e ? The unions made large demands. W e could not agree to these demands but offered to ex tend contracts while bargaining continued. But the unions refused. We then offered to arbitrate the basic issue, wages. The unions again refused and went out on strike. 5 6 x Studies show telephone wages are in line with those paid for other jobs on the coast requir ing similar skill and training . . . telephone wage rates now average 58 per cent above the 1941 level. Here are typical examples: O P E R A T O R S ; Even a girl right out of school starts at aMjasic rate of $30 a week while lemming — in small towns, $28 to • $29. Actual earnings are higher due to overtime and pre mium pay. There are frequent pay raises, too. A t the end of the,first year the new operator can be earning over $1,900 a year. A super vising operator can earn over $2,700 per year working a 5-day week. P L A N T M A IN T E N A N C E M EN : Actual earn ings of many experienced men last year were more than $5,000. The basic rate for inexperienced men is $34 at the start and scales up to $72. Overtime and premium pay are in addition. W h y C a n 't the C o m p a n y A g r e e T o U n io n D e m a n d s ?

They are demanding scores of changes in contracts which would, if granted, amount to an increase of more than $100,000,000 a year in the cost of telephone service. This amount is five times our 1946 earnings. It would make our payroll alone larger than all the money we took in last year. 4 J " notice 6 F W A I ACCOUNT After May first BU C H O LTZ Confectionery will be known as phone U sers? work for you dated April 11th 1947.

But we believe that no mat ter how long the strike lasts, it is in the pub lic inlhrest to face it rather than to capitulate to the unions’ huge demands which would re quire large increases in telephone rates. Meanwhile we will continue to do our best to handle your calls. Calls from dial to dial telephones, which make up the bulk of calls in many cities, are com pleted without interruption. Many calls which require the service of an operator are also be ing completed. Many Telephone Company people are work- - ing days and nights on strenuous shifts to keep service going. They have been joined by many others who put the public interest first,’ W e wish to thank the public for their helpful cooperation during this troublesome period.
