From the picture Of the Beth

pect to hear something unusual
In the way of singing, when they
appear, December 10, in Union
Methodist Church. From what
I know of Stanley Kirton, Dl.
rector, I expect to hear some
thing unusual in the way of
performance. The Inter-Alumni
Council of the United College
Fund is presenting the Choir,
and Stanley has always pro-
duced.
Peoples Baptist Choir exhi-
bited a fine spirit when some
thirty-f1ve members rose Sun
day morning, intime to leave the
Church at 8 o'clock and attend
Worship in Mercy Hospital,
Waltham at 9 o'clock. Several
members of the Choir furnished
cars for transportation, and they.
sang two numbers in the service
with Blanche Gonsalve and
George Tynes taking solo parts.
Director Flo Taylor may well be
proud of such cooperation.

MINE mill UNION MOVING
ITS NATIONAL OFFICES
BACK TO Denver

CHICAGO = T h International
Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Work
ers is moving it's national headquart-
ers back to Denver, Colorado, on Jan
uary "a it has been announced by
President John Clark.
The international Office, which
has been located in Chicago for 6
years since January, (1945), was in
Denver for most of its 81 years of
existence, having been set up in the
Colorado capital when the Western
Federation of Miners was founded in
1898. The name of the union was
changed from the Western Fedora
ton of Miners to the international
Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Work
ers in 1917.
Clark said the decision to return
to Denver was reached at the 1850
Mine-Mill convention, held in Den
yer.
The Denver office will be located
in larger quarters in the Tabor Build
ing, 10th and Curtis Streets.
Mine-Mill will continue to main
tain its Eastern Regional offices in
Chicago, New York, Cleveland, Ohio,
Bessemer, Alabama and Sudbury, On
tario. Eastern vice president of the
Union is Charles Wilson of Bessemer,

passing Yankton, and thus available

from Montana. Army Engineers want
about IA Il million acre feet of water
per year for operation of the chan

that 9 million acre feet per year
will be required for their projects.
Except one report by army engi-
neers, not single one of the eight
or ten engineering reports now in
MVA files show the likelihood of
2314 million acre feet of depend
able flow. This is still true despite
the fact that Army Engineers are

call on the water supply is suf-
ficient for presently authorized pur-
poses. Even if we assume that water
supply is sufficient for presently au-
thorized purposes the navigation chan
mel will get 619o Of the western water,
including Montana water The hard
cold fact is that while MVA is be-
ing accused of planning to somehow
restrict Montana's use of its own
water the Pick Sloan navigation chan
mel is actually taking 61a6 of said
water.
On every possible opportunity the
MVA organization has condemned the
free flowing navigation channel as
economically unsound, wasteful and
badly conceived. 1t has, in season
and out preached that sane eff
ficient valley development requires
that water must be stored and used
as near the source of its origin as ma
ture will permit. All its Engineer
ing plans and studies have been based
on this assumption. Since an MVA
development now appears as the only
possibility of replacing the Pick
Sloan Plan and saving upper val
ley water for upper valley states it
appears patent that sponsors of
HIM No. 1 have been badly misled
as to a method of accomplishing their
worthy objective.

Co-operatives reported the findings

1. NTEA is not and was not in
1913 a corporation engaged and OPP
Grated exclusively for scientific or
educational purposes;
2. A substantial part of the ac-
tivities of NTEA is, and in 1913

otherwise attempting to influence

8. The $3.50 contribution was not

Vernon Scott, "chief administra-

Butte Water Company Provides
A CASE STUDY FOR NEW BUTTE
COMMITTEE ON TAX DELEN0UENCIES

Nearly all counties in the state
have delinquent tax problems, but
Silver Bow county seems to have the
greatest problem of them all.
There is a great amount of prop
erty in Silver Bow county that has
little if any value, and there are many
people too poor to pay any taxes, so
they just let it slide. There are also
many delinquent taxpayers in Silver
Bow county who can see no reason
why they should pay their taxes, when
the greatest corporation in the state,
has been delinquent in taxes since
the year 1908 and these taxes owed
by the Butte Water company have
piled up to such an extent that that
company owes more in delinquent
taxes than all the other taxpayers in
the county combined.
Why should the common people be
required to pay their back taxes
when this corporation that is the
greatest of all delinquents, is never
even requested to pay?
Most of the county officials and
some of the school board members and
all the city officials know that these
taxes are due and payable, but none
of them have ever made any effort
to COLLECTIVELY?
l am quite positive that if our great
corporation would set a good ex-
ample by paying its delinquent
taxes to the city of Butte and school
district No. 1, many other delinquents
would also pay up-and bring con-
siderable cash into the treasury.
Many of the present committee
have been members of this same COM
mittee for many years, and have,
would say, more than the average
Does it not seem strange
that not one of these highly civic
minded patriots has ever discov-
cred the fact that the Anaconda Cop
per company through the Butte Wat
ar company, owes more in delinquent
taxes than all the other delinquent
taxpayers in Silver Bow county,

Anti MvA-CvA Memorial
Sponsors Mis|ead, Says Locke

Sponsors of Hum /, the anti eva
MVA memorial, by Representative
Charles Scofield and others, would
place Montana in the position of be-
ing a "dog in the manger", in their
zealousness to preserve Montana
water for Montana people, Col.
Jerome G. Locke, regional engineer
for an MVA stated this week.
Celebrating on this, Col. Locke
called attention to paragraphs one
and two of the memorial which at
tempt to ensure maximum use of
waters rising in Montana by Mon
tana people. While that is a COM
mendable desire, because there are
waters rising in this state which can
not be beneficially used here, and be-
cause waters rising in other states
and flowing into Montana can be so
used, approval of these sections of
the memorial, as an end result, would
only hinder overall development in
this state, Col. Locke pointed out.
Analysing paragraphs three and
four which condemn MVA and eva
"as plans that will deny Montana
maximum use of water now available
to it :" Locke stated that this was
"sheer nonsense" There is nothing in
either plan that will deny Montana
a single drop of water it can bene-
ficiallv use.
Continuing, he pointed out that
while under MVA Montana would re
ceive its fair share of water, such is
not the case under present develop
ment schedules of the Pick-Sloan
plan. And. should Pick-Sloan be al
lowed to continue through to COM
pletion, Montana would be forced to
sacrifice many millions acre feet of
precious water to maintain the Army's
proposed nine-foot free-flowing navi-
cation channel.
The following paragraphs from Col.
ocke's statement will provide some
idea of what is in store for Montana
under Pick-Sloan, and the need for
an MVA type of development, if up
per valley runoff is to be saved for
Montana and other upper valley
states:

NTEA TAX DODGE
NEBRASKA COURT

OMAHA Neb., (CNS)-The Tax
Court here has uncovered a "tax
dodge, claimed by contributors of
the National Tax Equality Associa-
ton, which has cost the government
thousands of dollars.
The Roberts Dairy Co. had pc
titioned the Tax Court that it's con-
tribution to NTEA of $3.50 in 1913
was deductable for income tax pur-
poses. In reviewing the case, the Tax
Court held that since NTEA was a
business organization operated to dis
seminate propaganda and influence
legislation, the contribution was not
deductable in computing gross in
come.
According to the findings of the
court, NTEA was granted eXemp-
ton from Federal income tax under
section 1O1 CO. of the Internal
Revenue Code on December "a, 1868.
Upon request of NTEA dated Jan.
10, 1914, the Commissioner recon-
sidered his previous ruling and modi-
fled it to allow exemption from Fed
eral income tax under section 101
90. Contributions to organizations
under 101 CO. are dedulctable for
income tax purposes while those
organized under 101 CD as bus
mess league, are not.
