CHARGE CRAMTON AIDS POWER FIRM National Popular Govern- ment League Director Makes Statement in Bulletin. By the Assoclated Press, Statements that Representative Cram- | ton, Republicag. Michigan, was a “polit- ical friend” of the Montana Power Co., and was “aiding them to grab the Flathead Power site” were made yesterday in a bulletin issued by the National Popular Government League. The bulletin, written by Judson King, director of the league, was in reply to recent statements by Cramton in the , House, which King said were intended to discredit one of his' previous bul- letins. “The immediate and local point at isfue is this,” the bulletin said. Mr. Cramton's official acts, past and present, indicate that he has aided the Montana Power Co.. which is controlled by the Electric Bond & Share Co. of New York, in its efforts to capture the gigantic Flathead Power site in Mon- tana on terms grossly detrimental to the public interests and tantamount to defrauding the Indians, who own the site and who are his wards? “‘He_asserts they do not and yells ‘Mo’ I charge they do.” After detailing Cramton's committee posts in the House and charging he exercised “tremendous inside pressure” because of his positions, the bulletin continued: “If Mr. Cramton is not playing the game of the Montana Power Co., why is he in 1930 seeking, through a ‘rider’ in the pending general appropriations bill, optional authority to build a smal power plant at Newell Tunnel—long since abandoned—and so to recapture a point of vantage he sought to acquire through a rider slipped into the appro- priations bill approved May 10, 1926?” The statement charged this “rider” would enable Cramton to exert pres- sure on the Secretary of the Interior and others “if he so chooses to favor speedy action favorable to the Montana Power Co.” In a statment replying to the league Cramton said the charges were a “cli- lection of misstatements and untruths.” King, the Michigan member said, “can only fight a proposition with the polecat methods of his kind.” “The real issue is larger than King or myself,” the Michigan member said. “It is whether the Flathead power site £hall be developed by private interests under the Federal water power act or ‘whether pursuit of government-owner- ship theories shall hold up all devel- opment. “I have been seeking for five years the salvaging of the Flathead irrigation project in Montana, where the Federal Government has an investment of over $5,000,000 and several thousand set- tlers have been for years hanging on by the skin of their teeth until the Government should keep its promises, complete its program and give them an opportunity for a decent existence. Power development was promised. them 20 years ago and is essential to their success.” Cramton said the attacks upon him by the “Judson King-Grorud-Collier combine” had been “cloaked in pre- tended zeal for the interests of the Indians.” He asserted he had no objection to the Government developing the project itself, but feared that through delay settlers would continue “to suffer untold privations and the Indians lose from one to two hundred ‘thousand dollars & year of rentals.” “I am arguing that the power com- mission grant a permit to some one to develop ' power at Flathead Lake after they are satisfied that the terms are adequate and that the permittee will proceed with construction,” he said. ———————— Real Estate (D.

I was in a badly rundown | condition and the continued suf- {fering and worry had just about ruined my nerves; it was impossible for me to get a good night's rest.
