Gas-Electric Initiatives

No more important duty is before the people
of the state of Montana than to obtain the sig
natures needed to place the initiative measures
providing for a tax on electric energy End gas
on the ballots next November.
Every Townsend club in Montana that truly
desires to aid the old folks, should obtain a sup
ply of these petitions and see that they are filled
with valid names. These two laws will provide
a substantial sum for old age pensions that will
increase as time passes and as the use Of electric
energy and natural gas increases.
Forty per cent of the total to be raised by
these taxes goes into the state Old Age Pension
Fund. Based on present conditions, more than
$4,000 annually will be taken out of the pock-
cts of Wall Street owners of the utilities and
put into the pockets of the aged Of Montana who
are entitled to it. Not one cent will come from
either real taxpayers or users of gas and cleo
tricity.
Every school teacher and every true friend of
education should get busy in this great cam
paign and work hard until it is a success. The
proposed laws provide that five per cent of the
tax raised goes into the Teachers Retirement
fund. This is the first sensible, organized eff
fort to help build up an adequate retirement fund
to augment the sums paid by teachers from their
pay checks.
Every hard pressed taxpayer, every parent
with school children, should enroll in the fight
to pass these two tax laws. Twenty-Five per
cent of the tax raised, approximately $300,000)
will go into the Common School General fund,
which finances those small districts unable to
finance their own schools, and which helps ligh-
ten the burden on the real property taxpayers all
over the state.
Every group Of the unemployed and of those
on relief should help pass these laws. Fifteen
per cent Of the money raised goes into the state
relief fund.
All real property taxpayers should help pass
these laws a. fifteen per cent OF the total goes
into the general fund to help Tighten their bur-
den.
All business men and women should boost
these measures as the utility companies have
been bleeding them with excessive light and gas
rates for years. Money kept in Montana that

New Machinery And Labor

A decision which should attract wide attention
in labor and industry circles was rendered the
other day by DR.. N. I. Stone, special arbitrator
in a case involving effects Of introduction of
new machinery by a large housedress and bath
robe firm in the New York market.
In substance, this decision establishes the prin-
ciple that benefits accruing to a manufacturer
from the introduction of new machinery should
not be absorbed by the manufacturer only but
that the workers are to share equally in these
benefits. In the specific case which DR.. Stone
arbitrated, the increase in production resulting
from machinery improvement was e~valuated at
"A per cent. The award accordingly gave the
workers an increase Of 7 per cent over their earn
ings prior to the introduction Of the improved
implements.
On the surface of it, and without any wish to
magnify it's Importance, this decision approaches
closer to a solution of one troublesome aspect
Of chronological progress than We have been able
to observe in worker-employer relations any
where. Labor, in principal and as a matter Of
industrial policy, does not and should not oppose
implemental and machinery progress. 1t does,
however, strenuously oppose the absorption sof
benefits accruing from machinery Improvement
by the employers alone. In this sense, Dr..
Stones award is rational and sound. What con-
Germs the other grave aspect of chronological
improvement the displacement of workers by
new machinery - this obviously can be solved
only by the shortening of work hours a de-
mand which organized labor is vigorously and
necessarily contending for.
Montana labor news., 1936-05-07

now goes to Wall Street will make business bet
ter here at home.
The history of these measures in the state
legislature should enlist the active support of
every honest, God-fearing decent citizen in Mon
tana. These measures have been brought into
the legislature time after time, only to be de-
feated by bribery, corruption, skullduggery of
the utility lobby that infests Helena each ses-
sion.
This is the most important iniative to be plac-
ed before the people of Montana since the state
was formed. It is the most vital and the most
fair. It will take from Wall Street, a portion
of the funds that rightly belongs to the people
OF Montana. Yet not a single one of the nine
Montana Power daiies in the state have printed
a line of news about it,
There can be no clearer proof to the people Of
Montana that these newspapers are operated
in the interests of the Wall Street owners of
the utility trust than this fact. This vital mea-
sure to Montana is blackballed in the news col
umns of the corporation press. Whether daily
or weekly, watch your local newspaper. If it
continues to suppress all news about the gas and
electric initiative drive, you can form your own
opinion as to who is the master and real owner
of that newspaper.
Next most important is to get into this initia-
tive fight yourself. Write Liberal Political Lea
que, Box $50, Helena, for blank petitions. Then
get them signed with legal voters at once.
