Hungry Horse news. [volume] (Columbia Falls, Mont.) 1948-current, 1949-02-25

There's nothing definite as to
slot machines. 1t appears that the
Lobe bill allowing machines in
clubs established more than five
years will pass. This bill is not
fair to this recently developing
part of Montana. Also possible for
1850 is a referendum: Shall slot
machines be legal?"
Flathead county's 80 "non-profit"
clubs have better record than
most OF Montana. Uncle Sam has
432 licensed machines in the coun-
ty, the state is getting tax reve-
nue. from 351 Of them. However
around Miles City, Custer county.
there are 125 federal licensed slot
machines, with but "a OF them
paving taxes to the state.
Flathead's capable senator, G.
M. Moss, Republican floor leader,
expects that state aid to schools
is apt to end up about twice what
is now, or 80 to 35 per cent. This
will ease the local tax burden.
Senate bill 83, through the SEN
ate, provides for a county general

Governor Tells News
AboutIndustria|Law

Ihls Legislative session in Helena
mas done more for the injured
working man than has been done
IN Montana for all of the past 20
years.
Governor John w. Bonner inter-
viewed this week told the Hungry
Horse News that house bills No,
70 and 107 were definite improve
ments, and he was pleased with
the progress.
He disliked a phase of the cid
industrial accident law that re-
suited in being cheaper to kill :.
man than to have him totally dis
abled. Now at least, the widow and
children receive as much as if
the wage Garner were totally dis
abled. Widow benefits now are
500 weekly payments instead of
400.
House bill No. % signed by the
governor February 8, and a law
since that date, provides that
state weekly benefits for injured
persons increase from $3.50 to
$40 a week for single men, and
from $3.50 to S22 for married
men with additional payments
where there are children. The
death benefits are on this scale
for 500 weeks.
Other improvements brought by
this law are that compensation
time has been heightened approx
20 percent. For example d
lost arm at the shoulder will bring
pay for $50 instead Of
200 weeks.
Waiting time to start receiving
industrial accident insurance from
the state in the case of single men
has been cut from two to one
weeks.
House bill No. 107 increased
medical and hospital payments
from a $500 total to $1,000. Other
include a provision
hat artificial limbs can be acquir-
ed every five years instead of just
after the accident.
The governor was also asked
oy the Hungry Horse News for
his opinion on the new old age
assistance legislation. He said that
lie was not satisfied that a ST
caise to an average of $50 month
vas enough, but in view of present
ak money available, it was It
step.
Unemployment compensation
will also increase from
;18 to $40 a week.
