IMPLICATIONS OF SB 1923 COULD HAVE BEEN FAR
REACHING ON MONTANA'S FUTURE development

Two weeks back this paper pointed
out some of the definite shortcomings
of SD 123-that, had it passed it
would have been cause for rejoicing
among some stock-growing circles.
Fortunately, the bill was killed in
the House public lands committee as
2 result of the efforts of Rep Good

Grass.
In addition to repeating Sec. 80
10 Rev. Codes 1947 which permits
the forest service to acquire more
land for the national forests, SD 1913,
had it become law could possibly have
delayed completion of the Hungry
Horse project, and completely killed
eny chances Of a dam across the
Kootenai at Libby. Likewise, it could
very possibly have hindered or stop
ped construction of other publicly
owned Transmission lines when such
lines by necessity had to cross state

or privately owned lands. These
dangers lay in the provision that
the United States government could
purchase private land (for power
lines, etc. only if the state of Mon
tana approved such sale.
Rep. Goodgame in fighting the pro-
posal also pointed out that SD 1913
represented an attempt to drastical-
ly revamp the centuries-old public
conception of personal rights-of the
right, first guaranteed by the Magma
Charta that person could sell his
property to whomsoever he might
wish. SD 1913, as noted above, would
have made it possible for a state
board to limit this free choice of
sale, by making property sales to
federal agencies subject to final APP
proval by such state board.
SD 1913 represented another at
tempt-of which there were many
in the 32nd Assembly TO restrict the
freedom of individual Montanans.

MONTANA COULD DO with
MORE OF THIS

A great many new legislators came
to Helena last January little con-
fused as to what law-making is all
about. Some stayed confused all ses-
sion long. Others, after brief pc
Rod of feeling their way around, got
their fingers on the pulse of the show,
and from then on pretty well knew the
score.
In the latter classification falls
Sen. Weydemeyer, Lincoln, who is
also Master of the Montana State
Grange. Like some others, he soon
learned that - circumstances per-
mitting-the 1851 session was to be
dedicated to Montana Power Co., and
other selfish interests. And, though
his seat was midway in "reactionary
row" on the COP side, few were the
times he wasn't in there pitching
for the people for all he was worth.
Toward the end of the session, so
We have been informed, the Senator
from Lincoln decided upon a course
of action. Being head Of a farm or
ganization with a number of locals
IN the western part OF the state, he
decided it was his job to go before
the Grange folks in each local and
tell them something about the work
ings Of the -and-how,
if the legislature is to function for
people instead of privilege, it is nee
essary that much greater care be
used in the choosing of those to sit
therein in future years. Came adj
iournment, Sen. Weydemeyer didn't
leave for home directly. Instead, he's
already started his crusade" Be-
fore reaching home he will have visit
ed three or more local Grange chapt-
9rs, and for his having done so, many
more rural Montanans will be better
informed on how, why, and for whom,
avs are made.

for the Dept. of Labor, through its
commissioner now having a voice IN
the management and policy of the In
dustrial Accident Board, the new de-
partment as presently set-up by stat
ute will result in no substantial
change in state participation IN the
affairs of labor and industry. AT
present it represents only frame
work within which future legisla-
lures in their wisdom may CONSOLE
date and regulate the duties of the
department as developments may
deem advisable.
Yet, this is a very important and
necessary framework. AS Montana
becomes more industrialized the need
for greater state participation VIII
grow. The need for public officials
long-trained and intimately acqualnt-
ed with the problems of labor and
management, of aiding in the main
tenance of amicable industrial rela-
tons will increase. Also, as state par
ticipation increases, the necessity for
consolidation, for proportionally low
er operating costs of each bureau
concerned with labor problems, will
likewise increase. Instead of separate
Independent agencies such as lab
functioning independently and, to
some degree overlapping in duties,
more efficient operation will demand
that such agencies become subordi-
nate to the Department of Labor
Likewise, it will be advisable that
other agencies, such as the Division
of Industrial Hygiene, that may con-
Germ themselves almost wholly with
industrial problems, be brought into
the new department.

laws of the state relating to Tree
employment offices"
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
Somewhat of an unusual condition
as pertains to the Commissioner OF
Labor and the Workmen's Compen-
sation has developed as result of
the legislation creating this new de-
partment.
Under statutory authority trans
ferred to the new department by Sen
ate Bill 118, the labor commissioner,
although he has the right to inspect
any factory, mine, etc, continues to
be without authority to interfere
in any manner with the conduct of
matters under the control of the In
dustrial Accident Board :" And,
as commissioner he cannot be charged
with enforcing any of the laws "of
the state of Montana pertaining to
the affairs of said Industrial Acct
dent Board, nor with the enforcement
of the safety provisions of the work
mems compensation act"
But, since the legislation passed by
the 32nd Assembly called for the
Labor department to have jurisdic-
ton over all affairs pertaining to la
Dor, it also carried with it the trans
fer of one seat on the Workmen's
Compensation Commission from the
Commissioner of Agriculture to the
Commissioner of Labor. Thus, al
though Comm. Brown cannot as Com
missioner of Labor in any way ''in-
terfere" with lab affairs, as men,
Der of the accident board, he be-
comes directly chargeable, with the
Chairman of lab and the State Aud
itor, for the efficient management
OF the affairs of the Industrial Ac-
cident Board.

What will be the functions of this

Functions of the new department
will for the present be identical with
those of the Labor commissioner und-
er the former Department of Agri-
culture, Labor and Industry. This is
expressly pointed out in the legisla-
tive act creating the department (SB
118 by Weydemeyer, Wenger, Whit
ers, Walton and Evans), which states:
Except as specifically provided
herein, it is not intended to change,
amend or vary any of the laws here
in mentioned except to separate the
powers heretofore granted the COM
missioner of agriculture, labor and
industry and allocate the duties now
prescribed by statute to the separa-
rate departments of agriculture and
of labor and industry, and the two
commissioners in charge. This act
shall not be construed to enlarge or
diminish or in any way alter present
laws except as specifically herein pro-
vided."
Specifically, the act, under section
5 states THE department of labor
and industry shall be charged with
the duty of enforcing all the laws of
Montana relating to hours of labor,
conditions of labor, prosecution of
who default in payment of
wages, protection of employees, all

 The two members remaining con- tinued to interview applicants this morning.
 Rivers pointed out today that the Swear resident requirement. coupled with salary ceiling of $8,500 plus technical knowledge requirements had an effect of limiting desirable applicants. He said that only four or five applications had been re- ceived. He did not reveal their names.
 Word had been passed around the Territory, Rivers said, that appli- cations for the position of executive director would be considered John Mclaughlin, who joined the organ ization in 1937 and served in many branches of the Unemployment h. surance division was director of that division before his interim appoint ment to acting executive director
