emnloyees are entitled to a substantial raise
- wores IN cone with the increased cost of
living and the city council should not figure
on raisino the tax levy to secure this money;
they should take immediate acton TO see thal
ia putte Wafer COMPANY was taxed accord
ing to law.
The officials of the Butte Water Company
are about the greatest ~iugglers OF figures the
State has ever produced. The Federal Power
Commission taught us that the Montana row
er Companv was good at juggling figures. put
they were pikers compared to the butte
Water Company. The Montana Power COM
uanv has less than 1907 OF thelr NaiueS III
watered stock. bat the Butte alter Compahy
had more than 500, of their values IN wat
cred stock. perhaps this IS on account OF
the Water company having to pay less Tor
their water.)
On the last visit Of the financial g%enluses
Of the Butte Water Company to the state cap
IDOL. they informed the Railroad and fuDllc
Service Commission. that the value OF thelr
property was 1921. 565.5S. cor course the
higher they could raise these figures the more
they could gouge the water users IN TINS com
munitv.) These same financial genluses next
appeared before the Board OF Equallzatloh
lwhere corporation taxes are figured) and
informed tnlS pOdlu tldt TX N"i"S '"N'
properties was only S2.157,3S0.OO.
In travelling less than 100 feet in our state
capitol. this company was robbed OF over Tour
million dollars in values and the police were
not notified. Well. as Jerry the Wise would
say 1T must have been an inside job
Is it any wonder that this company can
spend over a half million dollars IN an cleo
ton campaign, to defeat a candidate tor gov
crnor. whom they knew they could not con-
troll. Remember the governor appoints the
State Board of Equalization, so if an indie
pendent governor were elected and he APP
pointed a Board Of Equalization that the
Company could not dictate to, 1t would cost
the company thousands of dollars every year,
far in excess of what they are paying now,
as by having friends of the company in these
various boards, the company can Go a lot OF
chiseling in taxes and otherwise, that they
could not do if we had some men on these
boards who put the welfare of the people OF
the State of Montana above the welfare of
the company.
Will the day ever come when the voters of
the State of Montana will take the political
control of the state away from the Anaconda
Copper Mining Company? They have ruled
and ruined this state politically and indus
trially for close to fifty years and If the state
is to ever regain it's sovereignty it will be
necessary to drive this corrupt corporation
from the political field.
A good way to start this movement is to
have the Mayor and Council Of the City of
Butte collect this tax from the Butte Water
Company that has been long overdue. LET'S
DO 1T NOW! PAT G. SULLIVAN
Montana labor news., 1946-08-29
COUNCIL RELUCTANT TO COLLECT
TAXES DUE CITY BY WATER COMPANY

\ letter sent to the ways and means COM
mittee of the City Council. during Their strug-
gle to find the money to raise the salaries OF
the city Firemen and Policemen. seems to
have received but very little attention from
the City Fathers.
This letter advised the members OF the
council that the Butte Water Company was
indebted to the city for a great amount OF
money. on account of their evasion OF taxes
due the city that they had neglected to pay
since 1908, when our supreme court made Its
decision covering this particular tax.
1t is understood that the ways and means
committee appointed a committee of one to
interview the county assessor relative TO TINS
tax. When this committee of ONE was in
terviewed he stated he would try to see the
county assessor the first DAY HE HAD OFF.
This committee of ONE works for the com
panv and when they are made aware OF the
fact that he is going to raise their taxes on
HIS FIRST DAY OFF it is almost a certainty
he will have no more days off. The company
will not give any one a day off to raise their
taxes.
This lackadaisical manner of handling fl
nancial affairs BY the City Fathers. IS prob
ably the main reason why the City of Butte
is nearly always in an embarrassing financial
condition. The Butte Water Company Off
cials know they owe the city plenty OF money
on this tax they have been evadlng these
many years and the Mayor and City Council
should nave the stamina to see that the Butte
Water Company pays this tax Immediately,
even if they are a part of OUR GREAT RUL-
ING CORPORATION.
