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. The Mormons pro-

Cy Hartman finally got his new
barn painted, bat plenty of folks
had a hand in 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. _

Because you as a Telephone User, have an important stake in the issues w e’d like to give

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.

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.

U n io n D e m a n d s ?
W ages and other costs of service are paid by
the people who use telephones. W e can’t give
blanket agreement to the unions’ huge de
mands because we cannot justify them to our
customers who pay the bill.

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.

W e don’t know. 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.
