by outstanding citizens of this COM
munity, it had previously been signed
by reputable and responsible private
citizens and public officials of Mon

If you haven't the courage to

Mr.. Benjamin F. Fairless, Presi-
dent of the United States Steel Cor

6, 1861. before the Salse Executive

Labor Legislation ;.

Labor got a little better break in
the legislature than did rural people,
Only few direct attempts were made
to do injury to Montana working
people, and these measures did not
get past committee consideration. On
the other hand, Montana labor did get
a few Crumbs" In light of the lead
ership of the House, and the general
ly conservative nature of the assemb-
ly, it might be said with some truth
that labor did pretty well, all fact
ors taken into consideration.
Probably the biggest labor gain
was the cutting from five to two per
cent the discount on lump sum pay
ments to disabled workers. This can
mean in excess of $1,000 to every
permanently disabled worker. Dis
abled workers also were accorded a
miserly $3.50 per week increase in
benefits-for those disabled after
June 80, 1851.
Another gain was the establish
ing of a Second injury" law with
a reserve fund of $4,000, to pay

least 81 million per year being ap-
propriated.
Other school legislation permits:
Non-adjoining school districts to
consolidate on local basis.
Rural elementary district represen-
tation on high school district boards,
dependent upon agreement between
the elementary and high school
boards.
Reopening of closed rural schools
with county and state support as
sured when approved by county budg-
ct board and state superintendent.
Amending the provisions for high
school district transportation and
permits higher pay for private cars
used as buses. Amendment also de-
fines residence" of school patrons
as place where applicant resides with
his family at least 80 days of each
year when school is not in session.
Increasing permissive levies for
elementary schools from 20 to 80
per cent of budget, and for high
schools from Is to 25 per cent. Max
imum millage limits, Is and 10 mills.
State superintendent taking of
$1,000 of federal aid funds to make
statewide survey of school build
ings.
Although minor improvements
were made in school laws, the house
refused to permit the people chance
to vote on whether or not the state
should put up so per cent of the
funds to maintain the public schools.
HB 404, authorizing such a vote by
the people was killed by IS to %
margin.

Memorial Based On premature Judgment
anti MvA.CvA MEMORIAL GOES SAME WAY AS
OTHER POWER COMPANY BILLS

Four up, four down, might charact-
erie the treatment accorded power
trust proposals reaching the Cover
nor's desk the last days of the 32nd
Legislative Assembly.
Earlier Voice, March 81 the Gov
ernor vetoed three admittedly Mon
tana Power Company measures, HB
80, AZ and 1856, and wrote strong
explanatory statements in support
of his vetoes.
Last week, expressing the opin-
ion that the legislature had expressed
premature judgment" in passing the
anti-MVA-CVA memorial (HJM u,
Governor Bonner also sent it into
the circular file along with HB 80,
AZ and 1856.
Herewith are important parts of
the veto message transmitted to Sec
rotary of State Sam w. Mitchell.
am disappearing this Memorial
because it might give Congress mis-
leading impression as to the desires
of the people of Montana for COM
plete utilization of their water re-
sources. The Resolution expresses the
opinion that all waters originating
in Montana should be used solely for
reclamation and irrigation. While
these usages are of primary import
ance to the economy of the State, it
is also necessary for Montana's waters
to be used for the generation of
power, for flood control, for domes-
tic uses, and for the development of
recreational areas, as well as for
the preservation of fish and wildlife
resources.
Ii is interesting to note that the
Memorial is directed only to the
proposed Bills for the creation of
Valley Authorities but other plans

School Legislation :.

Some little progress was made in
improving school laws, yet here again,
there was room for so much good
to be done. Appropriated for the
foundation program was $4,665,00
per year-an increase of $365,000
per year over the past biennium-
yet, a more realistic figure on state
aid if adequate funds are to be avail
able for education, called for at

Farm Legislation :.

There were number of meas
ures introduced to benefit and /or
injure Montana rural people. Under
the conservative = power company
leadership of the house only the bad
measures received more than pass
ing consideration.
Wreck the co-ops, turn off the
Juice" and leave the farmers stuck
in the mud, in effect was the domi-
nsnt theme in the House.
In that body the NTEA crowd
found favor for its schemes to des-
troy Montana farmer co-operatives
(HB 3S8 which received 50-35
House vote of approval.) Also in
that body the Montana Power had
introduced its REA-crippling meas
ures, HB 80, 40, Al, AZ, and Rep.
O'Connor introduced his HB 364
to regulate" REAs out of existence
under the Public Service Commission.
1t was in that chambers hopper that
Skibby and Rostad put HB BAT to
destroy REAs via discriminatory tax
alton. And, it was in that house that
HB 379 to tax patronage refunds and
education funds was introduced by
Mccarthy and Babich, Silver Bow,
and Bremen, Beaverhead.
Finally, it was in the lower house
that Rep. O'Connor managed to kill
SD ga bill to permit county COM
missioners to use federal aid funds
in speeding up the building Of farm
to-market roads in the various coun-
ties. SB 81 had passed the senate
by $40 vote.
On the Credit Side
Two measures stand out to the
credit of the house.
One of these HB rs, by Lieut.
hold, Peters, Purdy, Michels, Wilson
of Judith Basin, Cook, Holtz, Barrett,
Anderson of Richland, and others,
changes the classification of all I'M
grain in storage from
1913 to per cent for taxation pur-
poses.
The other "credit" side measure
was HB 1873 by Cook Anderson,
Holtz, and Graybill, Cascade, and
Harpster, Barrett and others. This
dill, appropriated $4,000 for con-
'truction of grain testing lab in
Great Falls. Estimated cost of build
ng is placed at $4,000, but balance

ng from next legislature. Two good

Sieinmefz Demands
George Cosman Drop Cloak Of
Senatorial Immunity y

Bruce |. Steinmetz, Cascade Coun-
ty Trades & Labor President, who
only this week was reappointed to
the Public Welfare board by Gov
ernor John Bonner, has written Sen.
George Gosman, chairman of the
state Republican Central Committee,
demanding that he repeat in public
forum, the slanderous differences he
made on the senate floor against
Steinmetz, Thursday, March L.
Herewith is Mr.. Steinmetz' letter
challenging Sen. Gosman to either
repeat his charges or publicly apollo
goze for the injustice done the long
time labor leader:
Honorable G.. M. Gosman
State Chairman of the Republican
Committee

and differences made by you on the

Civil Liberties

Measures designed to strengthen
civil liberties and rights, such as HB
391-the no discrimination because
of race creed or color in public plac.
es proposal. or HB Sc, the fair en-
ployment practices act-were given
only slight consideration by the as
sembly.
| Such was not the case however, on
measures to restrict traditional and
.constitutionally guaranteed rights of
Montanans. AS one spearhead of the
house leadership went about the bus
mess of making Montana an impreg-
nable fortress for Montana Power
Company, another spearhead was in
tent on knocking hell out of the civil
liberties of those who would contin-
ue to live in the power trust empire
to-be. No less than seven such pieces
of legislation and a Montana I'M
American Committee (MUC) were
given overwhelming approval by the
house.
Three of these were aimed at keep
ing those citizens and parties who adj
vocate violent overthrow of the
government off the ballot. Catch
was-Who's to determine who advo-
Gates such action? Could such legis-
lation be construed to mean "over-
throwing" of politicians instead of
government? Senatorial sanity saw
all three of these measures by Nc
Elwain, HB 1910, tossed into the
ashcan-two in judiciary committee,
and one on the senate floor without
a word said in its defense.
Four other pieces of "lunatic leg
islation-HB 167, 255, 333 and 374
also made the grade with little trou-
BILE in the house, despite the efforts
of Graybill, Trip and Cook to bring
that body back to sanity.
Two of these-HB 167 and 255-
were aimed at innprisoning conscien-
tious DIRECTORS and taking away from
them forever, property and other citi-
zens' rights. HB 255 was watered
down to practically nothing in the
senate and then died on the horns of
disagreement. HB 167,
greatly diluted. reached the Cover
1or's desk and forthwith, was vetoed.
(See Voice, March 81
Two other measures-HB 1873, to
'et up little Wood-McCarran reg
stration procedure of "subversives"
n Montana, and HB 374, supposedly
tightening up the existing state syn
licalism law, also had rough time

benefits to those disabled veterans
and previously partially disabled
workers who receive further injur-
les on a job.
One other gain, although of minor
Importance, compels insurance COM
panies operating under Plan II of the
.Workmen's Compensation Law to
pay one per cent of their receipts
into an accident prevention fund
A step ahead in safety work was
the approval of HB 87-to set up
commissions to draft industrial safety
codes. AS originally introduced by
Valach, Emmons, Sykes, Haines, HB
81 would have made such safety codes
have the effect of law. An amend
ment in the senate, first sponsored
by Padbury, knocked out the "effect
of law clause.
Establishment of the Department
of Labor, in accordance with the wish
of the electorate last November, was
mandatory, therefore is of no par
ticular credit to the 32nd Legisla-
ture.
On the Debit Side
Most shameful treatment accorded
any segment of labor by the 32nd
Legislature was that of the Sill
cotics. HB % by Emmons, as orig
inally drawn, provided the state pay
these victims of mine and smelter
dust $75 per month from the gen.
eral fund. The house appropriation
committee cut this down to $55. Fol-
lowing house passage, the measure
died in Senator Winters compensa-
ton committee, despite all efforts
to get that chairman to permit at
least SIS per month increase to these
Also on the debit side must be
the refusal of the house
to permit more than $3.50 per week
Increase to disabled workers when
such injured people should have had
at least SIS and, to be realistic $40
per week increase.
The house quitting" of SB 80
vas a very black mark on the chamb-
IL. Senate Bill 80 was aimed princi-
oally at the Idaho Compensation COM
oany as we'll as other private in
companies operating under
Plan II. This bill by Mahoney and
Moss, as approved by the senate,
would have forced correction of
many of the abuses under Plan II
~ insurance companies, toward dis
lbled workers covered by such COM
'anies. The more or less useless bill
inallX approved by the house was
'etoed by the Governor.
Finally. the house refusal to lift
he 500-week limitation on payments
o permanently disabled workers, or
o do anything about raising the ST.
100 maximum on medical-hoSpital /;
ayments to disabled workers, showed
total lack of understanding of the
of living of those industri-
lily disabled Montanans.

for the development of the Column
bia and Missouri Rivers are also
before Congress at the present
time, and these plans are open to
the same objections that the Mem
orial levels against the Valley Au-
thorities.
Both the advocates and opponents
of Valley Authorities and other plans
are pressing for Congressional Hear
ings in Montana at which Hearings
their views can be expressed. In this
way, Congress will gain better
idea of Montana's needs, and the de-
sires of the people of Montana to
make the fullest utilization of their
water resources than by a Memorial
which by its own nature can but sug-
gest objections which cannot be ana
lyzed.

1t is also interesting to note
that this Memorial does not OBJ
ject to a proposed plan which may,
if adopted, deprive the upper Mis-
souri, Valley States, including Mon
tana, of water.
Our policy must be Montana water
for Montana people with acquiescence
in the development of both Rivers
which development will inure to the
benefit of the people of this State,
and we must see to it also that Mon
tana has say in any plan that may
be adopted for the development of her
rivers and streams. All plans for de-
velopment must. therefore, be care
fully scrutinized.

mature judgment of the various
plans before the Congress concern
