OVERTIME RULE OF
COURT EXPLAINED

San Francisco, June 23.-Many
employers who have paid time and Z
half for work performed on Satur-
days, Sundays or holidays, or for
hours actually outside the normal
OF regular working hours, and have
treated the extra pay as an over
time premium, are in many cases
protected from any resulting back
wage liabilities.
This statement was made here to-
day by John R. Ollie, regional di-
rector in the eight western states
for the wage and hour and public
contracts divisions, U. S. depart
of labor, in commenting upon the
recent decision of the U. S. supreme
court on the so-called Overtime on
overtime" case of the stevedoring
industry.
"Under the decision" he said,
extra pay by contract or statute for
hours worked in any day or week
in excess of a bona fide standard is
not part of the base wages OF which
overtime must be computed under
the fair labor standards act federal
wage and hour law. Such excess
payment can be credited toward the
overtime compensation required by
the act for hours worked in excess
of 40 in any work week.

ELECTION COSTS IN
YELLOWSTONE SAID
LOWEST IN MONTANA
Taxpayers Association Gives
Figures Also On Comparative
School Costs Here

The right to exercise ~democracy's
most precious privilege, that of vot-
ing at free elections, cost the tax
payers of Yellowstone county Go
cents per registered voter in 1916

figure, computed by the Montana
Taxpayers association and published
in the June issue of its Montana
Taxpayer was from official records
in the county clerks office. The
cost in this county was the lowest
in the state and compares with an
average cost of $1.10 per registered
voter in other counties.
Silver Bow county taxpayers found
election costs there to be twice as
high per registered voter as in
Yellowstone county. Cascade, how
ever, was sc cents. Carbon county

$1.32. In counties with voters num-
bering less than 1850 the lowest
was s1.01 per registered voter in
Prairie and 1898 in Garfield.
Property taxes for local school
purposes in Yellowstone county in

1947, the Taxpayers association re-
ported. The increase was 89.1 per
cent and compares with an aver
age increase of 1875 per cent in the
state IS a whole.
Most pronounced jump in school
taxes was in Petroleum county. The
1947 tax was nearly three times

tionate increase, 81 per cent.
The operating budget of Laurel's
elementary school system for the

R0TAR|ANS, GUESTS
HEAR SMITH SPEAK

L. j. Wallace was introduced tt
the Laurel Rotary club as a new
member by John Corwin at the
clubs Tuesday noon meeting. Cor
win spoke of Wallace's background
and family, and then gave a short
description of Rotary and its act
ivities.
Pres. W. D. Copeland of Rocky
Mountain college; w. c. Smith, as
sistant superintendent of the North
ern Pacific; Arthur Barnes and B.
L. Price were guests at the meeting.
Pres. o. X. Chapman informed the
club that word has been received
that the Laurel club ranked first in
attendance in the Montana district
for May.
Program chairman Harold Isach-
sen introduced Smith as the guest
speaker. During both World vars
Smith served in capacities that
brought him in close contact with
the Russians and he gave his per-
sonal impression of them as men,
bers of their society and as indi-
viduals. AS his last contact with
them was in Iran, he spoke often
of that country and its people as
he brought out his various points
in regard to the Russians. FREEDOM
mating his description of the Rus
slams was the phrase "they r pc
culiar people and hard to deal with"
Referring to the hard-boiled atti-
tude that now characteristics the Rus
slams, he said that he felt this
could be attributed to their sudden
rise to power and their ignorance of
what to do with this new power.
He further said that they could
not understand appeasement and
could be approached only through
direct action.
Smith said he feels that the av-
erage individual in Russia is much
like the average American and
would, if he could, live in much the
same manner He explained that
the individual in that country is
considered as merely a part of the
state and has no status or value as
individual. According to him, the
Russian citizen lives in constant
fear of the Kremlin.

In conclusion, Miss BARLEY said
that in her opinion, the value of the

 In the report that Dr. Chanb rlain made from two surTnor's work hero, he noted that a parasite was at work on the cutworms and would probably el liminate them in nothor year. This happened and the Valley has been relat ivo1y free from thom for several years.
 Another point made in his report was that the Valley was unfortunately infested with several breo s or typos of cutUorrns. There arc many different types. To -alle matters uorso tho different types have diff oront habits of mutt iplying. Some 1.-Two over the winter in the form of tho egg and hatch enrly in tho spring. Somo live in the moth stage and lay oggs in tho spring. Some live in tho cocoon stage. This ma1 es any method of cultivation to get rid. of them extremely difficult. For instance if it is one type--burn ing or all rubbish and fall blowing will do a great doal of good, but for another typo that might help thom. About tho only recourse loft is to fight them with poisons, and this can be harmful to birds. Robins arc particularly fond Of them.
