MONTANA CAPITALISTS LAUNCH ATTACK
ON WORKMENS COMPENSATION ACT

not to come under the Compensa-
ton Act. But, let any worker do
such a thing and he is out Of a
job Immediately. To hold their
jobs, workers must decide to come
under the Act.
The proposed amendments to
the Workmen's Compensation Act
provide that all employers of la
Dor who desire to receive the bene-
fits of the act and be exempted
from being sued in the courts for
damages by injured employees,
can, if they so l1esire, file notice
with the Industrial Accident Board
that they wish to come under the
Compensation Act.
The proposed amendments only
seek to give to the small employ
er the same benefits, rights, and
opportunities to come under the
Compensation Act as the largS
corporations doing business in
Montana now enjoy.
5 There is nothing in the propos-
ed amendments that will compe'
the employer of labor to come un-
! der the Workmen's Compensation
Act. If worl1men's compensation
is good thing for the large cor
porations doing business in Mon
tana-why will it not be a gooC
thing for the small employer?

both LEVIES IN
COMING ELECTION

The following article on the
forthcoming school election has
been submitted for publication in
The Producers News by Mr.. E. H.
Z. Helgeson, clerk of the school
board:
There appears to be some mis-
understanding in regard to the 20
mill levy voted upon at the last
election. This levy will not in
crease our taxes over last year, in
that such a levy has been voted
for number of years, and is alb
solutely essential for the operation
of our schools. We are allowed a
levy of 10 mills without an cleo
ton, but such a levy would pro-
vide only Few months of school.
Practically every school in the
State has to vote additional mills
to run their schools and we are
listed below the average in the
number of required mills. Consid-
ering the conditions under which
we are compelled to operate here,
the School Board should be COM
mended for the high standard
maintained, with the limited am
cunt of funds at their disposal.
The Is mills asked at the COM
ing election is for building pur-
poses, and is an additional levy
above former years. This is the
only additional levy asked. We
have reached a point in the at.
tendance of our schools which re-
quires that we provide more room
To do so viii require additional
funds, whether it is to build a per,
manent school house or an addi
tional shack, as has been neces
sary up to this time. The BoarC
does not think it is good business
to build any more temporary build
ings, and has also been warned b,
the State Department not to con
tinue, but instead have recommend
ed that we provide means to cree
sanitary and up-to-date building
for our school. To delay thi
much longer will mean the impair
ment of our school rating.
This school district has only
small outstanding indebtedness
which means we are now ready
after many years of waiting,
launch a building program, withou
any added expense to the taxpay
er, in that the new bond issue ca
: be retired with practically tn
same sinking fund levies that W
now have. To erect good and pei
manent school buildings is not a
expense it is an INVESTMENT
and operating costs will be lower
ed.
