ON GRADE
OPA Grade Label Order
Invites Consumer to Play
Blind Mans Bluff on Grades
Co-ops to Use Grade Labels
Inspite of OPA Retreat.
By BEATRICE B. sCHALET

WASHINGTON. - OPA's recently
announced substitute for grade label
ing-a swap of consumer protection
for an OPA promise-may spell rob-
berry for Mr.. and Mrs. Consumer. The
compromise regulation, of course, af-
fects only the 1943 pack, but its effect,
so far as the consumer is concerned,
is practically no different than if it
had been reflected in the 1912 pack,
or even that packed in 1941l
Under the regulation % Gamers
must indicate the government grade
of their product on their invoices to
wholesalers, and wholesalers must do
the same on their bills to retailers.
But no method has yet been deveI-
oped, OPA itself states, by which price
will be tied to grade at retail. OPA
promises 'such action" after consulta-
tion with consumers and retailers. But
OPA is putting such action" into the
dim and uncertain future by failing to
make arrangements for such consulta-
tion, according to OPA's response to
- 4oNAy Pub " II ny tniS OlltIt.
(2) Published community prices on
canned goods. will list brands by
grades for the 1943 pack The tre-
mendous multiplicity of brands and
the possibility of publishing commun-
ity ceilings on only small fraction
make this of slight aid to the consum-
er. In addition, there is nothing to
prevent packer from changing the
brand of his product as fast as previ- |
ous brand grades are published.
(3( OPA states that only one grade
Of product can be packed under one
brand. Then it kicks this restriction |
to shreds by allowing one brand to |
cover several grades if distinguish |
ing term is used only in connection
with one grade" In other words, |
SNOWDRIFT brand, let us say, can |
offer both Grades A and B if one label |
states SNOWDRIFT Supreme" and |
he other SNOWDRIFT Superior, or
whatever other distinguishing term"

GRAIN MARKET
SHOWS


Grain markets were all strong dur
ing the week ended June 4 but rye
and barley really broke away and
scored further material gains during
the period Although wheat futures
prices held very firm, genral trade
was slow as flour buyers held back
and handlers generally awaited clear
ing up of matters now hanging fire,
such as 1943 loan rates, price ceiling
regulations, subsidies, etc. Mill buy
ing against impending Lend-Lease
flour business was credited with caus-
ing moderate upward movement in
the wheat market at the close of the
period. An active demand prevailed
for rye and the fed grains throughout
and trade in these items was brisk at
substantially higher levels. Flax and
corn prices remained pegged at cell
ing levels. Demand for both was ur-
gent and not clearly enough of these
grains came in to satisfy the inquiry.
WHEAT: Warmer weather was fav-
orable for winter wheat in central
portions Of the belt and progress was
reported fair to good. The crop is
heading in the more southern parts
of the Ohio Valley but the condition
ranges from poor to good. From Mis-
souri, southwark, conditions ranged
from fairly good to good. Harvest
ing has begun in north central Texas
and will begin in southwestern Okla
homa as soon as fields are dried. The
crop is Developing satisfactorily in the
eastern half of Kansas but in western
portions rain is badly needed.
Seeding of spring grains is pract-
cally completed and healthy color
and good root systems were reported
rom Minnesota. The seeding of
spring wheat is still late in Canada
and unofficial reports show about
,7qo of the seeding done in Manitoba,
)2% in Saskatchewan and S2% in AL

new HIGHWAY
TRAFFIC LAWS
reviewed
By COL. CHAs. l. SHERIDAN

by COL CHAS. L. SHERIDAN
The last session of the Montana
legislature passed laws which con-
tanned several changes and additions
to our traffic laws. Most notable
among these were the requirements
that drivers slowing down, stopping
or changing direction of traffic, use
the arm signals that are prescribed by
the National Safety Council, namely;
for left turn, left hand and arm
extended horizontally or straight out
from the shoulder; for a right turn,
left hand and arm extended upward; ;
to stop or slow down, left hand and
arm extended downward.
y The law also requires that driver
overtaking another car and intending
to pass said car shall sound his horn
as a signal of his wish and intention
to pass. If our people will learn to
observe this regulation it will save
many rear-end collisions, side swipes
and bent tenders, to say nothing of
the added protection to life and limb
that it will afford.
Another section forbids anyone rid
ing ON the outside of a car, that is,
on the tenders, running boards, hood
or other part of the car not intended
to carry passengers. The reason for
this is quite apparent. Each year a
of persons are killed and in
jured by hanging onto the outside of
a car.
Still another section provides that
cars overtaking another car at night
shall dim their lights when their high
beam strikes the car in front. This
for the reason that bright lights from
behind are confusing to the driver of
the car ahead and are dangerous,
ON crooked or mountainous
roads.
Another section forbids anyone un-
Ter the influence of intoxicating IL
luor from walking, riding a horse or
irving team on the highway. So
'ar this year, we have had eleven pc
iestrians killed on the highways and
six of them were under the influence
If liquor. No one who has been drink
ng should ever walk on the highway.
In the future written warning cards |
will be issued to motorists in lieu of |

You will find no men
ton of this condition in
any other paper in the
state.

The additional five cents per pound
paid for the production in excess of
the amount produced in 1871, is taxed
under the net proceeds and corpora
tion license tax law. However, the
exemption gained under the metals
mine tax for the bonus paid to the
company by the Metals Reserve Com
pany deprives the state of revenue
amounting to about 100000 for 1912,
according to the State Board of Equal
| ization.
1t will be recalled that with ample
mining labor available in 1941. the
Butte mines were reported operating
at far from capacity, while in 1912,
with an admitted labor shortage. the
mines in Butte produced some hum
dreds of thousands of tons of ore in
excess Of the amount produced in
1871.
At the end of 1941, the government,
while refusing to advance the price
of copper, agreed to pay a bonus of
five cents per pound for production
in the future in excess of the amount
produced in 1941. While the company
made staggering profits in 1941, it
apparently curtailed production with
surplus of labor on hand, awaiting
this further incentive" of a bonus.
Once this bonus was assured, produc-
ton increased despite the troubles of
mine labor shortage. The question
ing of the agreement to pay this
bonus, had been had by the company
with Jesse Jones.
While technically, the company is
not liable under the metals mine act
for the payment of the metals mine
tax on the bonus, as it is in excess
of the market price of the copper, it
is obviously of direct advantage to
the company not to have it fixed as
market price" and to the same de-
gree, it is detriment to the state.
The pound of copper whether it is
sold by the company at the market
price or the additional bonus, repre-
sents the same drain on the natural
resources of the state. If the COM
pany is paid a premium for a certain
pound of copper, why is not the state
entitled to its tax share of that pre-
MUM?
In this connection it is interesting
to recall, that while the law specifical-
ly states that the metals mine tax
shall be paid on the basis of New
York prices for the metals and makes
no mention of any allowance or differ
entail to be allowed for freight, the
supreme court some years ago, held
in an action brought to collect back
taxes alleged due from the company,
that it was entitled to pay on the
basis of New York prices less a
freight differential from Montana to
New York. Only two members of the
court as then constituted lacked the
second sight to be able to find
where this deduction for freight was
allowed by the law. One of them is
Governor Ford and the other is ex-
Associate Justice Albert H. Angst
nan. Despite their ability to read
English, neither of them could find
anywhere in the law, the provision
which the others apparently found
md which has saved the company at
he expense of the state, hundreds of
If thousands of dollars.

ST0CKPILING
BILL APPEARS
FAVORED

WASHINGTON.-Senate Bill 1160
the stockpiling bill sponsored by the
senate committee ON small business
as means of providing economic in.
centive and stability for domestic min.
ing concerns in the production of crit
ical and essential materials for the
war, was before the senate commit
tee on mines and mining today with
prospects favorable for speedy hear
ing and action.
The proposed legislation was re-
ferred to the mining and mining COM
mittee, of which Senator Joseph F.
Guffey of Pennsylvania is chairman,
following it's introduction in the SEN
ate by Sen. James G. Scrugham of
Nevada, chairman of the small busi-
ness subcommittee which prepared
the measure.
In presenting the bill Senator
Scrugham expressed the opinion that
"the quicker the miner sees way out,
the sooner he will get into the busi-
ness of increasing the production of
the materials which are so vitally
necessary to the successful prosecu-
tion of the war" Passage of the bill,
said the Nevada senator, will be the
starting gun for the miners to get
busy.
Sen james E. Murray of Montana
chairman, senate committee on small
business, said that he saw in the bill
the promise of a positive opportunity
for the smaller mine owners and OPP
orators of the western states to inte-
CRATE themselves in the war program

Grafton to the possibility of Sc
curing the needed storage else
where.
A hearing on the Albeni Falls dam
project in Idaho has been called for
June 10 at Priest River by the army
engineers, when the project OF IN
creasing the storage capacity of Lake
Pend Oreille will be discussed with
the people of that region.
In a telegram to Governor Ford, D..
L. Marlett, executive assistant to
Bonneville administrator DR.. Paul
Raver Marlett stated that Gin view of
questions raised at the Kalispell hear
ings, particularly in regard to lumber
and agricultural production and the
disruption of other war activities,
army engineers and the Bonneville adj
visory board have concluded that
other alternatives for securing the
additional water necessary for war
purposes should be further explored.
On Tuesday of this week, Marlett
announced a new plan to raise Pend
Oreille in Idaho for the storage OF
100000 acre feet. Inasmuch as the
army engineers have stated that stor-
age of three million acre feet must be
secured, it is possible that the engi-
neers may have in mind the raising
of Flathead lake by about three feet
to provide the additional million feet
of storage. Involved in this plan
would be the dredging of the outflow
channel, six feet.
Governor Ford on Wednesday wired
Marlett, asking if Flathead lake rails
ing by three feet was tied in with
the project of raising Lake Pend
Oreille to supply the additional 1,0OO,-
900 acre feet of storage. The gov
ernor appeared to regard this as a
distinct possibility, and stated that
the 3-foot raising of the Flathead lake
level would be opposed as strenuously
as the 17-foot raising was opposed.
The governor asserted that because
Of the porosity of the soil in the Flat
head, much more land would be des-
troyed for crops than the amount ac-
.ually inundated by water resulting
from raising the lake level.
Apparently the army engineers had
given little or no thought, prior to the

Committee

H. R. 7, the Marcantonio bill tC
for voting in federal elections, is now
in the senate judiciary committee
which in the last congress held a year
and a half of hearings before it re-
ported the bill out.
To break up the filibuster which
poll tax senators have promised
against the bill when it comes on the
floor, the senate judiciary committee
should report the bill out Immediate
ly No further hearings are neces-
sary. Speed all along the line is the
watch-word.

senate judiciary committee, 10 repre-
sent states whose entire representa-
tion in the house voted for H. R. Z.
