COSTS OF
H. B. NO. 143
.ANALYzED

Appearing before the house commit
tee on social security a regional re
search consultant of the Social Secur
| ity Board submitted a detailed study
of the costs which would have been
incurred, had HB 143 been enacted
finto law. The bill provided payment
of a minimum of $40 per month to
the aged, which in view of the rising
costs of living cannot be termed an
exorbitant sum.
The study is of interest to the peo-
pie of the state. Definite RESPONSE
bilities which cannot be evaded by the
citizens are entailed, and should be
carefully considered and ways and
means evolved to meet them.
The testimony of the consultant is
printed below:

zens Grants Act" introduced by Har-

/ HE SPEAKS FOR
HIMSELF, SAYS
PATTERSON

The reputation last week by Tn
der-Secretary of War Patterson o
Capt. Edward Rickenbacker's anti-la
Dor speeches only served to confirm
what many informed Americans al
ready knew = the Rickenbacker who
was talking was the reactionary bust
nessman, the auto manufacturer and
race track operator, not the hero Of
the epic lost flight in the Pacific
while on an army mission.
Patterson said Rickenbacker had
been talking as an individual, not as
an army officer, on his tour last
month.
Rickenbacker, the individual, is
Rickenbacker, the businessman. The
anti-labor bias displayed in his recent
talks is typical of the attitude of the
most reactionary elements in the
ers.
AS far as the workers are con-
cerned, Rickenbacker declared in a
speech in Philadelphia on February
IA that he was opposed to the pay
ment of overtime for the 48-hour
week during the war.
But for the upper brackets, Rick
enbacker delivered himself of the
opinion that President Roosevelt's
limitations of net salaries to $4,000
a year should be abolished, "be-
cause it would limit initiative which
is one of the great American cor
nerstones."
Anybody is entitled to work and
to be paid for it," he added
EXCEPT-of course-the workers
if Rickenbacker and his pals in
the NAM had their way.
Our advice to Rickenbacker is to
what happened to another
ilyer. Now that high government
official has publicly stated that Rick
snbacker speaks only for himself the
after can expect to be able to do
7ery little more union busting. If he

Tulsion of feeling against Lindbergh, i
le will confine his future remarks to |
he applauding audience in the bank

>Wlll again be followed and it is
not expected that the sessions
will adjourn sine die before
Saturday.
In many cases, the finance and
claims committee of the senate are
tipping the appropriations made by
the appropriations committee of the
lower house. In a few instances, the
house concurs in the amendments, but
generally conference committees have
to be appointed to iron out the diff
culties if possible, and meanwhile
time drags for most of the member
ship of the lower house and many
of the members are growing FESTIVE.
lib 1877 providing for the operation
of the grain division of the depart
ment of agriculture with revolving
fund from the fees collected for grain
inspection and grading, passed the
senate with little opposition and the
measure is now in the hands of the
governor The farm organizations and
the farmers generally desired the pas
sage of this legislation which exempts
this service to the grain growers from
the provisions of HB 10 passed by
the 9th assembly which provided
that all fees collected should revert to
the general fund of the state.
Both of the measures which pro-
vided loopholes for the gambling fra
ternity to operate more or less legally
in the state were killed in the senate.
One of the measures proposed legal
izing of slot machines-"one armed
bandits"-in the state, and the other
bill provided that card games could be
played for money in retail establish
ments such as cigar stores and bars.
with limit of 25c for each bet made.
This proposed limit was realized to
be merely form of subterfuge in
serted to make the bill appear less
harmful.
The increase of $4,000 in the teach
ers' retirement fund appropriation as
amended by the senate, finally passed
the house after the opponents had
exhausted every resource, in their ef-
forts to defeat the measure. The
story of this, is covered elsewhere in
his issue.
Every effort made by the propon-
snts of the measure providing for a
more adequate old age assistance to
get the bill out of the appropriations
was defeated and it is
destined to die there. The opponents
# the measure, who apparently con-
tituted majority of the lower house

louise where they might have to go

nittee room of the senate. Its most
rdent supporters, Fred Bennion exec
tive secretary of the Montana Tax

ountant will be the only ones bitterly
disappointed if this occurs. The state

oned himself in the job Of dictator

0PA HEAD
ENL.ISTING
CONSUMERS

WASHINGTON. - Prentiss Brown
new OPA boss, is going to get con
sumers ON his side in enforcement O.
price ceilings and rationinga Price
ceilings will be simplified into foul
groups small stores, large stores
chain stores and super-markets. Each
class will have its own set of ceilings
However, lest higher-priced independ
ent stores feel hurt, present OPA plan
is to publish in each locality only the
highest price for each commodity, not
the lower prices set for lower-cost
stores. Price wardens will know all
the ceiling prices, but the idea is that
not all the public will. This game of
hide-and-seek probably won't work;
word will get around fast.
When OPA labor advisory commit
tee broke through his subordinates to
get their stories to him, Brown moved
in on meat shortages in big war pro-
duction centers ON both coasts. Big
packers, prior to price ceilings,
shipped from middle west to both
coasts at narrower profits in order to
hold markets. Under price ceilings
they tended to sell their civilian quo
tas closer to packing centers. At
same time, flow of livestock to larger
plants was cut by diversion to slaugh-
tering in country districts and smaller
towns Deluxe markets, hotels and
restaurants go first choice of best
meats and, where supplies were very
short as in coast cities, got nearly all
of what little was available
OPA and agriculture are working
hard to blackout black markets of
meat Government will have to move
in fast to allocate meat shipments on
basis of need, from packing houses
through distributors, right down to
retail meat counters. Back of this,
cross-hauling of both meat and live
stock can be cut by coming of all mar
kets This will require setting an en-
forcement of fair price ceilings all the
way from the meat counter back to
the feed lot and beyond that to prices
of feeds. Strict control of eJuntry
and of farmegg' livestock
inventory is inevitable. If meat prob
lem is to be lickeT
But, simultaneously, retailers are
moving fast on double threat to wreck |
the entire price control effect First |
move is attempt to scare OPA into |
permitting each individual retailer to |
have a MAKEUP not less than his 1941 |
or, if that isn't known, a rea-
sonable net profit over the cost of |
doing business. This would mean as
many ceilings as there are stores and
And, according to an
admission by Tyre Taylor, counsel for
he National Association of Retail
5rocers and the Southern States
Industrial Council, OPA couldn't crack
Town on any retailer until the end of
he war and then would have to check
he mark-ups in each line carried by a
store If OPA won't accept this bright
and Prentiss Brown won't
Taylor and his hackers will ask CON
,ress to do the job.
Brown, who has practical poll
ician's instinct for survival, has en-
,loyees out to learn how farmers and i
arm organizations feel about OPA
nd to get suggestions as to how to
10 a better job. Now is the time for
tate, county and local Farmers I'm
ons to see to it that working farmers /
re adequately represented on their
rice and rationing committees and
boards.

The states first wartime Legislature
has finished its chores and most of its
members are leaving the capital city
It's spotty record of Tory legislation
and reactionary activity indicated that
it had but one speed forward and sew
eral in reverse. The war record of
the legislature is not one to inspire
confidence, and no one can say that
they did their best to help win the
war and help the Montanans in the
service.
