libby LS&M Negotiates
Higher Hospital Benefits

Libby area locals of Lumber &
Sawmill Workers have negotiated a
higher benefit hospital plan with J.
Neils Lumber Co. The additional
benefits are to be paid entirely by
The company.
Daily hospital benefits have been
raised from 81 maximum to SIP.
This means all hospital charges up
to $12 will be met by employer-fin-
anced insurance.
The present plan pays up to $140
for other charges including blood
plasma, operating room, etc. The
new plan allows up to $240 for these
charges. Maternity hospital charges
including room and board will be al
lowed up to $120.
The plan goes into effect April 1
if approved by then by the wage sta
bilization board.

STATE BOARD WANTS No
ALIBIS RE INCOME TAX
RETURNS

State income tax returns should
be filed with the State Board of
Equalization now, states A. E. Simon,
Chairman, Sam D. Coca and G. A.
Robinson, members.
More than two tons of these re-
turns will be filed before the dead
line, April Is. They will add up to
about 100000 returns. More than
$4,000 have already been filed.
Many returns, are already prepared
and are sleeping in the taxpayers
files waiting for April Is to arrive
Unfortunately many will continue to
sleep until next year when the tax
payer digs up his file to prepare his
1852 return.
About 10000 more taxpayers will
make no effort to file their returns,
either because of ignorance or faulty
memory. Some will say they did not
file because they received no notice
or blank form.
1t is the duty of every taxpayer to
file his return and pay his tax with
out notice. Forms will be furnished
to all those who request them. For
taxpayers who have been residents
for the entire year the credit is $1,000
is single or $4,000 for husband and
wife, and $500 for each dependent.
If they have been in the state for
only a part of the year their personal
exemption credit and credit for de-
pendents should be reduced according
to the number of months they were
in this state. If their income for this
fraction of the year exceeds this
credit they are required to file re-
turn. A fractional year return should
include only the income and deduc-
lions during the period they were in
this state. ais
Many errors in the preparation of
returns would be avoided if'taxpayers
would consult the marginal instruc-
lions printed on the income tax form
and the instruction sheet attached.

Progressives, Our Only Hope
Saws Reader

The Progressive p.arty'S Convention
in Helena, March %, 1852 marked a sig
nificant milestone in U. S. Politics.
While there was only about two hun
dred in attendance, it put the Pro-
gressive party on the Political Map to
stay. Coalition with other political par
ties was banned as leading only to
disaster, and the foundation laid for
the only liberal party to stand up
against the Imperialist Reactionary
party, no matter what name it uses
when the two old parties merge as
they eventually will Their aim, while
not openly claimed, is to keep the
status-quo and work against all Co
lonial-People's aspirations.
Just look at the Roman Empire, 800
A. D., when the Holy City was actual
y saved by millions of swarming mos
quitoes from being looted and des-
troyed by invading Gauls. Previous to
that time, Liberals and Progressives
(Christains) were nailed to the Cross
to hang there until dead while the
biggest thieves were honored and pro-
tected if the loot was large enough.
Unlike Rome, the worst we do to peo-
pie here with dangerous" thoughts is
to deny them jobs and put them in jail
for indefinite periods. This will likely
be substituted by Concentration Camps
in the near future.
We can't redeem the damage done
in Korea, we can't repay the Nation
al Debt but we can stop our mad rush
into World War III with it's end re-
suit of Present-Day- Civilization. It's up
to the Progressive party to make that
it's principal duty while the two old
parties are haggling over what to name
their campaign issues. While they both
aim at American Imperialism, they
are both ashamed to admit it.
The very Germ that destroyed I'm
perial Rome is working overtime here
today and is our Enemy Number One.

Hint of summer manpoWer short
ages in Montana's labor markets is
seen in Is per cent shrinkage in
the current pool of jobseekers in the
state. There were 10000 active work
applicants in employment service Of
flee lists on March 1, as compared
with $4,000 year ago. Even more
emphatic is the decline from March
of 1850, when $4,000 were seeking
jobs.
Seasonal labor demands" says
M. Joe Miller, chairman of the UNI
employment compensation commits
sion, "are potentially as great this
season as they were in either of the
last two years. The outlook is for alb
sorption of current labor supplies in
the next 80 days"
Present demand is most acute for
the handbook Miners" Mr.. Miller con-
tinued. Expansion sought in the met
al mines requires 1000 additional I'M
derground workers this spring. Most
of the current jobseekers are normal
ly employed in construction, agricul-
ture, railroad maintenance, lumber
and logging, and in commercial lines.
There is no reserve supply of ex-
perienced miners"
Seasonal nature of many indus
tries in Montana annually results in
accumulation of peak labor supply
in February and March. With COM
ing of spring these reserves are rapid
ly absorbed. Already the hiring of
construction men on the two big null
tiple-purpose dams, Hungry Horse
and Canyon Ferry, has begun. Sew
eral hundred miles of highways will
be under construction shortly. Es-
sential industrial residence, and COM
mercial building projects will be re-
sumed. Demand for farm hands and
livestock handlers is approaching its
usual April peak.
Women are an important compon-
ent of the present labor reserve"
Mr.. Miller says, Though not so num-
erous as a year ago. The jobseeker |
figures as of March l were 8,144 men |
and 2,245 women. A year ago there |
were 9,401 men and 1885 women list
ed, and two years ago 5,187 and g.
665 women"
Employment service offices in the |
state report the placement of 1880
in jobs during February,
the greatest volume of placements
ever recorded in h midwinter
month. Most of the demand arose
from employers in wholesale and re-
all trade, farm operations, mining,
contract construction, manufacturing,
md service industries.

OLSEN TO SEEK SECOND
TERM ON RECORD HE MADE
DURING PAST FOUR YEARS

Attorney General Arnold H. Olsen
Wednesday, filed for reelection on
the Democratic ticket.
Olsen states he will stand on the
record of his administration in the
Attorney Generals office and his
continued pledge that he will fulfill
his oath of office faithfully and well.
The Attorney Generals office I'M
der Olsen's administration has been
extremely active. 1t is marked. by his
successful campaign against gambling
by which slot machines were out
lawed after year and half of liti-
cation. 1t is estimated that his cam
paign against slot machines has di-
rected nearly $22,000,000 into legiti-
mate business channels in the State
of Montana. Continuing his fight
against the drain by organized gambl-
ing of the taxpayers money, Olsen
recently submitted to and argued be-
fore the State Supreme Court the
question of the validity of punch
boards in Montana. Of special inter
est to the veterans of the Treasure
State was his successful defense of
the Veterans Honorarium in the
State Supreme Court.
Olsen has been extremely inter
ested in the soil conservation dis
trict movement in the state and has
visited with many of the district COM
mittees and personally assisted them
in the establishment of their pro-
grams and the settlement of legal
problems involved in the program
His administration has been noted
further by his institution of an in
vestigation into the gas refund scheme
with resulting convictions and con-
tinuing Investigations; by his par
ticipation in telephone and railroad
rate hearings before the Railroad
Commission and the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the interest of
the people of the State of Montana;
by his successful defense of the 20
year limitation on state oil leases be-
fore the Montana Supreme Court
which has resulted in thousands of
dollars being. gained by the school
trust fund
Olsen has been active in the bound
airy water dispute with Canada and I
has appeared personally and present
ed briefs to the International Joint
Commission in international disputes
and negotiations concerning the in
ternational waters. He recently ap-
peared before the United States Su-
preme Court in an effort to pre-
vent the abandonment of the Waller
Conrad Railroad. !

mentioned his appreciation for
the opinion expressed by Ariel
Melchoir, Editor of the Saint

also present at the hearings,
as a result Of the propaganda
that had been spread since the
