to make Investigations, and enforce
recommendations for correction OF
health and safety hazards. These
agencies should also have sufficient
budgets to carry on adequate health
and safety programs.
DR.. Abrams in addition to en-
prasizing industry's responsibility
for provision of safe places to work
and in-plant medical facilities, also
said that labor had the response
bility "for education of its members
and for participation in measures
such as health and safety commit
tees"
Another important facet of indust-
rial health is the availability of ade-
quate medical care, the panel leader
pointed out, and cited a number of
examples of health plans presently
by unions, farmers, and
people generally. Since, in his opin-
ion, the chances national prepaid
medical insurance legislation becom-
ing law in the immediate future are
not good, DR.. Abrams contended that
peoples groups must get together
to develop their own health plans

MEANS OF CONTRACTING
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES

Occupational diseases may be con-
tracted in many ways, most common
of which are inhalation of poison,
skin contact, abnormal temperature
variations, noise, fatigue, abnormal
pressures, bad sanitation, bad light
ing, radio activity, among others. Of
these inhalation of dust, vapor, fumes
or gases, is the most common-par-
ticularly in mines and smelters. Not
ing that Montana has also begun
some uranium mining, DR.. Abrams
stated that uranium miners of Eur
ope have an excessive rate of lung
cancer" and that, "like silicosis, only
the most stringent preventative and
protective measures" will protect
men in this new mining industry.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1952-01-25

the land involved had been taken by
the county through tax proceedings
in 1889. In the lower court it de-
veloped that the land was unoccupied
at the time the tax deed was taken.
Under the law the occupant of
land for which tax deed is sought
must be served with the notice that
a tax deed is being applied for. In
most counties the clerk in making his
affidavit of service of the notice
states that the land was unoccupied
when it was not. That was not done
in the Lowery case and apparently
that had not been done as a regular
thing in Garfield county. The attack
on the tax deed was not by an occu-
pant but by a successor of the orig
inal owner who had been regularly
served with the notice of application
for the tax deed.
The trial court upheld the tax deed
but on the appeal the Supreme Court
in a three to two decision held that
failure of the clerks affidavit to re-
cite that the land was unoccupied
was fatal to the tax deed. Justice
wrote a strong dissent in
which Justice Metcalf concurred. In
his dissent Judge Angstman said
II do not believe the owner who
had notice is in a position to COM
plain because some imaginary occu-
pant may not have had notice, and
particularly should that be so where,
is here, it is shown there was no oc-
,upant."
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1952-01-25
LEGAL SAFEGUARD RULED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL -

In the majority decision the court
also held that Chapter 100 of the
Laws of 1913 was unconstitutional.
That Chapter provides that no ac-
ton to set aside a tax deed can be
brought more than two years after
the tax deed is recorded unless it
is claimed that there were no taxes
delinquent at the time the tax deed
was applied for or that actually the
owner redeemed the land within the
time provided by law after the deed
was applied for. In their dissent JUS
tees Angstman and Metcalf dis
agreed with the majority on this
point also.
The decision in the Lowery case
was followed by the Ross case, also
arising in Garfield county. Again
the majority held the tax deed void
on the same grounds and again the
two Justices dissented with Justice
Angstman writing a strong dissent.
In that case the tax proceedings were
instituted in 1929 more than twenty
years before the decision of the Su-
preme Court.
The holding in the two cases was
reaffirmed in third case arising in
Garfield county, that case being Nit
chell v. Garfield county with the same
two judges dissenting.
The fourth case which gave rise
to the present situation is Perry V.
Maves case from McCone county.
In that case decided in July of 1851
the County Treasurer did not file
an affidavit showing the manner of
