Bits of Indian Legend
The Chief of the CherokeeTribe
was Wahoo and Echoee was
Queen. They had two daughters
Nacoochee and Eola.
Queen Echoee and her daugh¬
ter, Eola, were drowued, hut Na
coocnee was saved by Sautee, a
16-year old son of the Choetow
Chief. This led to a romance
that ended when Sautee was or¬
dered by by Chief Wahoo to be
hurled oft' the cliff 1 on top of
Yonah mountain. Nacoochee
jumped from the cliff after him
Their managled bodies were then
carried to Nacoochee Valley and
buried together in the mound in
the Hardman button.
Wahoo killed Lorenzo, a com
panion of DeSota, as he was mak¬
ing his way to find Ihe priceless
treasurers said to he stored in a
cave on Yonah mountain.

Several diamonds wi re found in the

looking for gold and most of them no

GRIFFIN TELLS GEORGIA TOWNS
TO SPRUCE UP, AID BUSINESS
Gov. Griffin thinks a lot of Georgia
towns need “sprucing- up,” and has
offered the assistance of the state
government.
The governor told an industrial
development the advisory committee to
Southern Governor’s Conference,
headed by Arkansas Gov. Orval E.
Faubus at meeting here Friday, that
he believes the South’s expansion pro¬
gram would be enhanced by neater
towns.
Five citizens of a small Georgia
town visited his office this week, the
“tried governor related, stating they have
and tried and can’t get in¬
dustry.” The governor said the dele¬
gation told him, “We’re about to dry
up on the stalk,” and asked “What
are THE we doing wrong?”
GOVERNOR said he found
this small town has done everything
it can to meet the “steady trickle”
from the farms to rural areas except
one thing. He said industry might be
more impressed if it “tried to spruce
up the town.”
Gov. Griffin said he pledged the
visitors . the state would “put in curbs
and gutters” at the courthouse and
clean up the property, “if thev’d fix
up the rest of the town.”
Gov. Griffin also praised the work
of the advisory committee and said
he is “always delighted to join out
neighbors in a program to develop
the South's resources.”

POEM TO CLEVELAND
By Earle J. Grant,
Doraville, Ga.
Cleveland, a picturesque town iti White County,*
Is lavishly endowed with Nature’s bounty;
A place in which I nevei fail to find
Needed peace of body, soul, and mind.
Framed in peach and apple blossoms in spring,
The land then waits for what summer doth bring:
Pink roses beneath delphinium—blus skies;
The sons: of a thrush as the long day dies.
By crystal waters, fields of corn so green;
The white lace of daisies edging the seeue.
Autumn spins bright gold tapestries up there;
Crimson and bronze fruits hang in tonic air.
Winter drapes hills in vestments of pure white
And fills heaut> loving souls with delight.
You are supreme, Cleveland, with charms galore_
A perfect place to live—Who could ask for more?

HELL’S CANYON GRAB
CURLS PEOPLE’S HAIR
_
—By Thomas L. Stokes
WASHINGTON —It is getting a
little hard to sit here and watch the
rape of our natural resources— and at
the expense of us taxpayers. Which
is by way of revealing another hair¬
curling Canyon chapter in the famous Hell’s
grab which, you may recall,
played so much a part in a Democratic
Party upsurge in the Pacific-North¬
west last November which stiil
hower apparently has no effect on the Eisen¬
administration.
You are familiar with the first
chapter—how the Eisenhower admin¬
istration got the valuable power site
at Hell’s Canyon on the Snake River
along the Idaho-Oregon border handed
over to the Idaho Power Co. of
Augusta, Maine. Fifty years ago this
valuable site was set aside by Presi¬
dent Theodore Roosevelt, a far-seeing
conservationist, so that eventually it
might be developed by the government
for all the people and to keep it out
of the hands of private exploiters
which he feared might happen. It has.
The second chapter has to do with
approval by Gordon Gray, defense
mobilize!', of a fast tax write-off for
the Idaho Power Co. under an emer¬
gency law originally enacted to en¬
courage plants our industry to build war
and expand capacity for World
War II. How this law has been
stretched to favor all sorts of busi¬
ness with no real reason in national
defense, including utilities, has been
explained here before.
Under terms of the rapid amorti¬
zation granted to Idaho Power it will
be permitted to write off in five years
—at 20 per cent a year—65 per cent
of the cost of the projected Brownlee
Dam and 60 per cent of the cost of the
Oxbow Dam, two of the three low
dams it has engaged to build, instead
of the one high federal dam which
clearly was favored by a majority of
people in the area. The two dams
are to cost 103 million dollars.
The effect of the “accelerated amor¬
tization” _ in this case will be to reduce
bility very materially the income tax lia¬
of the Idaho Power Co. during
the five-year write-off period. Its tax
savings, millions, which will run into many
represent an interest-free
loan by the government. The loss of
revenue must be made up by the
rest, of us during the five years the
company has the use of its tax r saving
for investment or whatever.
Members of Congress from the
Pacific Northwest who are complain¬
ing bitterly about what Sen. Wayne
Morris (D-Ore) called “another shock¬
ing betrayal of the public interest”
suggest difficulty that the company was having
bailed getting by its financing and was
out the government with
this subsidy.
The accelerated amortization device,
which was resorted to in World War
II and in the Korean War to induce
deluetant industry to expand plant
capacity, cized has been constantly criti¬
“legalized as special privilege. It was called
ter Senate profiteering” Committee by the Brews¬
of the Republi¬
can 80th Congress, 1947-49, and “the
biggest bonanza that ever came down
the government pike” by the House
Government Operations Committee.
