for Congress to make them eligible
for veterans benefits, especially if
they are inducted by administrative
order without any judicial process.
Under his amendment, the penal
ties already in the Selective Service
Act of fine or Imprisonment for vio-
lations of the act would apply to
any deferred registrant who turns
down request by his board to take
an essential job, provided the court
finds the board acted on sufficient
evidence.
Earlier today, the work or fight
bill ran into suggested labor union
restrictions when members of the
committee inquired what effect it
would have on strikes and closed
shop agreements.
While Col KeeSling was explain
ing how local boards would select
AIS and other deferred men to
meet shortages in war plants, Rep
re5entative Thomas. Republican. of
New Jersey said that if a strike
should occur in coal mines, who.
under this bill. would put the strikers
back to work?
Could Be Ordered Inducted.
Representative Thomason, Demo-
crat, of Texas interrupted to point
out that if striker is physically fit
he could be ordered inducted into
regular military service, and if
physically unfit, into the special
military limited service battalionS
provided for in the bill.
Col. Keesling explained that an
appropriate Government agency
would first have to determine that
striker no longer held the status
of an employe in the essential in
dustry before his draft board could
act.
Representative WinStead. Demo-
crat, of Mississippi raised the ques-
ton of whether draft registrant
who is required by this bill to
move from his present employment
to a war plant should be forced to
join a union and pay dues
Mr.. Winstead pointed out that
the draft law respects the views of
conscientious objectors by allowing
them to enter the Army for special
duties, and declared there are some
men who conscientiously object to
joining labor unions.
Fears Union Confusion.
Il don't want to destroy organ
lied labor" Mr. Winstead continued
but If We pass a bill that forces
men into unions We are going to
create more confusion.
AS the committee entered the Sec
ond day of hearings, there were other
signs that some committeeman are
growing cool toward the idea of us
ing military sanctions as the means
of enforcement
AS now pending in both the House
and Senate, the, bill would author
ize local draft boards to request
registrants to accept employment in
war industries suffering from man.

heed the request could be inducted

Mr.. Stimson declared that an ex-

Mr. Stimson also disclosed that

| Attention Teachers, we present the
following clipping from the Missoul.
ian, Feb. 8, 1915:
TEACHERS IN OPPOSITION
Editor, The Missoulian: | notice
that joint resolution petitioning Con-
gress for a constitutional amendment
limiting the federal income tax to 25
per cent is listed for introduction in
the Montana house of representatives.
We have been expecting this bill to
make its appearance in our state leg
islature We notice that the comment
made on the passage of this bill is.
'It will be large factor in stimulat-
ing postwar employment by encourag-
ing individual enterprise" This state
ment is false-the exact opposite will
happen.
The NEA, at its convention last
summer in Pittsburgh passed the fol-
lowing resolution: "The National Edu-
cation association opposes any amend
ment to the United States Constitu-
ton which provides for a limitation
on federal income, inheritance, and
gift taxes and recommends to state
education associations their vigorous
opposition to measures of this kind
1t is a matter of great urgency that
the people of Montana understand
just how vicious this bill is. The best
business leadership of the country is
to such a measure, but there
are powerful interests behind the
drive to put rs per cent limitation
on all federal income Corporation and
private), estate and gift taxes. The
forces working for this amendment
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1945-02-16

are apparently highly financed.
Turned down in congress, their stra-
tegy is to go around congress and
concentrate on one state legislature
after another. Their propaganda is
clever and highly misleading. 1t is
designed to appeal to bankers, small
businessmen, and farmers against
their own welfare, since the effect of
the amendment would be to destroy
private enterprise by concentrating
wealth more highly and fostering gil
gantic monopolies. An estate of $780,
100000 under this amendment would
leave $75,000,000 tax free so far as the
federal government is concerned and
such fortunes would concentrate in
states least inclined to tax them.
Lay groups of service clubs, clubs
and organizations should adopt a res
olution similar to the NEA resolution
and send copies of such resolutions
to the governor and to representatives
in the state legislature and in con-
gress. Not since the last century has
there been so great a threat to our
free institutions as would be involved
should such an amendment become
a part of the Constitution. Repre-
sentative Wright Patman of Texas
calls the group working for this
"the most sinister lobby
ever organized" 1t would help mil
lionaires to escape paying their just
share of the war debt. If this resolu-
ton is passed by SO state legislatures
it will be brought up in congress
again. Let's act now to stop this
before it is too late.

H.B.No. Is THE WRONG METHOD


contrary to their propaganda?
The present session of the legisla-
ture will give the counties the power
to increase the tax levy about twelve
mills to meet increased costs, yet
many of the legislators deliberately
proposed to add to the tax burden of
counties by supporting House Bill No
IS. When the state has a surplus of
over five million dollars in it's general
fund and quite competent to meet its
obligation in the contract that the
Legislature, on behalf of the state, en-
tered into with teachers Of Montana.
to contribute to the Teachers Retire
ment Fund, there is no need of pass
ing House Bill No. 65.
The net profit made by the state
on its liquor business, licenses and
there is no need or sound reason for
the enacting of House Bill No. IS into
law. Legislators say that the teach
ers want the enactment of the bill
There has never been a vote taken
to ascertain the desires of the teach
tio Oii tiio oubJttbB CAttPb NY IAO
Butte Teachers Union, who voted by
secret ballot which showed that only
one teacher in nine favored the tax
on school districts to take care of
the states contribution to the Retire
ment fund.
1t is said that the Parent-Teachers
Association favors the passage of
House Bill No. IS. The Parent-Teach-
ers' group merely endorsed what was
presented to them as the best plan
of taking care of contributions to the
Teachers Retirement Fund, without a
study of the various ramifications of
the measure. The majority of the
organization in Butte
is supporting the Butte teachers in
opposition to House Bill No. SIS and
the p T. A. of Butte is said to have
over twenty per cent of the state
of that body.
If the teachers who favor House
Bill N. 65, knew that at a public
hearing held on the bill, member of
one of the school boards represented
at the hearing, intimated that the
school district could meet the tax by
retiring the old teachers and hiring
teachers at a lower salary,
hey would not favor the measure.
1nacting House Bill No IS and reduc-
ng the teacherss salaries is brutal
cold blooded proposition but 1t can
become a reality.
House Bill No. 65 is a gamble-no
person can tell what the results of
It's enactment will be. 1t may mean
hat the teachers will be left to take
care of their own retirement. The
chances are a hundred to one against
he measure being of any benefit to
he aged teachers.
At the public hearing held during
he past week on House Bill No. 65,

ature submit to the voters at the

x the levy, which might go as low

TX years, would determine how the
Ian would work out. Quite a num-
err of the Legislators favor letting the
oters settle the question.
