HOW INCREASE FOR
SILICOTICS DIED

SILICOTICS DIED
No doubt you have wondered just
when do the working men of Mon.
tana get a bill through without a.
mendments cutting down the approp-
riations. Well, we introduced a bill
in the House raising the Silicotics
pay from $50 month to SIS, but the
committee on Social Security amend
ed the bill to read $55 a month-an
increase of S5 a month. This bill
then died in the Senate Workmen's s
Compensation Committee.
How it died is an interesting
study in the perverse actions of some
of our representatives and of COM
plete neglect of duty on others. The
Senator from Ravalli county, Mr..
Winters, refused to let the bill come
out of his committee and as a re-
suit no vote was taken on it before
the Senate. 1t was a complete pock-
ct veto! Added to this insult to the
House was the absence of even lone"
Senator who would ask to have this
bill voted on. This absence of a
spokesman in the State Senate in
cludes our own Senator, Mr.. Ed
Wenger who was more CONSPICUOUS
by his presence than his absence
The people of Silver Bow, Cascade
and Deer Lodge counties should
wake up to the fact that they are not
sending men to the state legislature
but mere puppets who can really
jump when the company plays the
tune and jerks the strings or should
that be Jerks the jerks.
The asinine argument in denying
q vote on this bill was that it impos-
ed burden on the taxpayers of |
Montana when it should be rightly |
placed on the industries responsible |
Tor the Silicotics condition. l agree
whole heartedly with this but until
he time we can place the industries
lirectly responsible for their care,
hen we must find other means to
axe care of these men. Simply be-
ause we cannot make the rightful
,arties assume their burden is no
eason to cast these men as unde-
irables who require no support. If
his were true in all cases then we
hould close our orphans home and
ur home for the old, because we,
he people of this state, are not re-
ponsible for their condition, and
ollowing this line of thought they
hould take care of themselves. How
polish can you be! This same char
cter, Mr.. Winters, held up the whole
louise when he would not let this bill
ut of his committee, after it had
assed the House almost unanimous

der section 101 (12) as non

In a statement, the committee
pointed out that its action was taken
after full consideration of all as
poets of coop taxation and after
hearing all sides of the controversy.
The statement said the committee
had reached tentative decision to
make no revisions in the tax treat
ment of co-operatives, mutual saw
ingS banks and savings and loan as
sociations.
While it is still possible for a
motion to be made in the committee
to reconsider this action and reopen
the question, committee members
said it is very unlikely that such
q motion would receive a majority
vote.
1t therefore is probable that the
tax bill when finally reported to the
House by the Committee will contain
none of the penalty taxes against CO.
for which the National
Tax Equality Association has been so
and unsuccessfully strug-
Cling over the past several years.
The Committee as yet has taken no
action with respect to mutual insur- |
lnce companies. But there is nothing

Close observers of the Congress

The people's voice., 1951-05-11

Generally when a person returns
from some organizational meeting
like the Montana State Legislature
there are topics of new interest that
can be discussed very easily, but,
can sum up the 32nd Legislature in
five words: Same book but different
cover. By that l mean the cover
was a new legislature, but the con-
tents of the book, the 600 bills that
were viewed by this body, with very
few exceptions, the content of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company
and its other half, the Montana
Power Company.
There were 90 members in the
House and our greatest backing for
an increase in the Workmen's Com
pensation bill was 81 votes. HB78,
which was introduced by Michels,
Trout, Jensen, Mcbride and En-
mons, would have increased weekly
benefits $500 per week. After this
bill was defeated we tried to amend
HB47 which increased the benefits
$3.50 week, to $500. This met the
same fate as bill rs. We tried for
an increase of $3.50 but the cor
porations had their way again and
we were forced to accept measly
increase of $1.50 per week.
AN INSULT TO THE DISABLED
This mere pittance for an injured
working man is an insult to the lab
oring man because it places no value |
whatsoever in his physical and mental |
health when this small sum of $3.50 |
is offered to him during his illness.
This meager sum Injuries the working |
mans family as well and this points
out further note in the complete |
forgetfulness of the injured working |
man as human being who has OBJ
legations to his family while the cor
poration must look out for its OBJ
legations stockholder.
| would like to point out here
that the big, powerful Steelwork-
ers union did not appear before
any committees in Helena to furth-
er the interest of the laboring men
cf Montana. What kind of lab
or group is this that will constant

refrain from improving the work

Bush Pilots

the outpostS are known as
bush pilots" and best de-
scribed as hardy enterpriSerS
who exist on a shoeString.
Nowadays, some of them
are banding together to form
small companies, in order to
offset high costs of mainte-
nance. office work and sup
plies.
Bush Pilot Ray Clark be-
longs to such an organiza-
ton. Twice a week, he
takes off in his single
engined plane from Nc
Grath, a fair-sized town in
Central Alaska, for Bethel,
a good-sized trading post on
the Pacific Coast, making
stops at ii settlements along
the way. Occasionally, a
detour is made to special
whistlestops not on the reg
ular run; for instance. Mr..
Clark recently took a young
French priest to Holy Cross
Mission. The regular run
takes about eight hours on
the bush line, or an hour
and 20 minutes nonstop.
Like other bush pilots, Mr..
Clark has to be a self reliant.
one-man operator. He must
be able to make minor re-
pairs on the plane, gas and
oil it, handle the cargo, and,
since there are few flying in
struments on his ship, he
must know landmarks. A
mistake means disaster to
the pilot, and privation to
those who depend on him.

A LASKA has skipped the
n automotive age almost
entirely.
Due to its geographical re-
moteness and near-Arctic
weather, roads and railroads
have been slow in reaching
even the main cities of the
Territory. For instance, the
capital, Juneau, has no high
way leading to or from it.
Consequently, many Indian
and Eskimo natives who live
away from the main centers
have never seen either an
automobile or a train.
However. they are quite
familiar with a later inven-
ton, the airplane, which has
become their source of con-
tact with the outside world.
Equally dependent on air
service are the missionaries,
medical men. prospectorS,
contractors and settlers who
have taken up residence off
the beaten path.
For the last 20 years or so
airlineS In Alaska have been
largely one or two man op-
erations, with only rudimer-
tary ground facilities, flying
a few small planes at irreg-
ular intervals. Since most
Alaskan villages are built
near rivers or lakes and
don't have airfields, the
planes are equipped with
floats when the water is
thawed and with skis when
it is frozen.

Social Security
For SeIf-empIoyed

Although many self-employed
people are now under Social Sc
curity, they should not report their
personal earnings on their regular
quarterly Social Security tax re-
turns. This word came today from
M. B. White, manager of the Jack
son Social Security Office.
"a special part of the annual
Federal Income Tax return will be
used by the self-employed for their
personal Social Security returns"
Mr.. White said. "This will be done
only once each year, while returns
for people working as employees
are sent in every three months"
Social Security benefits for peo-
pie who work for themselves will
be based on their net income from
self-employment, according to Mr..
White. For this reason, they should
be sure to make proper and COM

In words that came with fight

bluntly that he is going to see to
it that his Fair Deal" demands
be given place in the Democratic
platform.
1t will be remembered that four
years ago the President lost four
Southern states by his firm adj
herence to these sharp controver-
sial civil rights proposals. His in
sistence that this program be in
corporated into his party's plat
form for the 1852 race shaped up
as an obvious challenge to such
leaders of the anti-Truman forces
as Senator Byrnes of South Caro-
lima, Senator Byrd of Virginia
and Governor Talmadge of Geor-
gia.
Byrd said in Washington shortly
after hearing the Presidents dec
laration, "If the President is right
in his forecast about the party
platform, especially as to civil
tights, it will touch off bitter
new fight"
Governor Talmadge, after reach
ing Atlanta late on his return from
Hot Springs because of airplane de-
lay, said, "the South is much con-
cerned over the Presidents decla-
ration of policy for the Democratic
Party in the 1852 elections. He

Buddhist Chief Abbot
Doubts Communist
|nroads Into Japan

The Chief Abbot of the Bud
dhist Church of Japan, here on al
brief visit, does not believe Com
munism is making an inroads into
the religious organizations of his
country.
Kosho Ohtani who was
scheduled to visit State Depart
ment officials today, told press
conference yesterday that Com
munist and Buddhist philosophers
are contradictory.
The leader Of z million Bud
dhists answered some questions in
a slow but clear English. When he
felt the questions needed greater
thought or elaboration, he an
swered through an interpreter,
the Rev. Kenryo Kumada, Rever-
end Of the Los Angeles Japanes
Buddhist Church.
Accompanied BY Wife.
The Chief Abbot, who wore a
dark robe over regular business
suit, was accompanied by his wife.
Lady Ohtani, to the interview in
the Willard Hotel. Others pres
Ient, in addition to the interpreter,
included Bishop Bunyu Nakagami
Iof the Japanese Buddhist sect,
and the Rev. Hozon Seki, Rever-
end of the New York Japanese
Buddhist Church.
Chief Abbot Ohtani's visit here
lis being sponsored by the Wash
Iington japanese American Society.
Sekio Tasaka Is president of the
local group.
The visitor said his tour of
the United States, which started
at San Francisco on November 81
and will end on February 81, has
Ia three-fold purpose.
Hopes to Create Goodwill.
II am anxious to see about the
Buddhist movement in America, u
he explained. IT am also DESTROYS

American people through giving
them an understanding of thisI
religion. And finally, I should
like to convey to the Americana
people our sincere appreciation of
their attempt to understand sym
'pathetically our problems since
the late hostilities."
The religious leader estimated
that 60 per cent of his country
men are Buddhists, 80 per cent
Shintoists and the remainder di-
vided among Christianity and
other beliefs.

in her native costume, said she
