Thirty long days to no avail
might sum up the net results of
the efforts of the Montana Tax
Equality Association trio, w. ].
Howell, w. J. Howard, and Nor
man Blevins. Despite most vigor-
GUS lobbying activities they bore no
fruit. They were unable to secure
introduction of their number one
legislative aim another House
Bill 388.
They aren't exactly happy about
it if the tone of their press re-
lease conceding defeat can be TAX
en- as a guide. Said TEAM Sec
retary Howard:
"My executive committee has so
advised me with considerable re-
luctance, we shall apparently con-
tinue to have such organizations
and other tax-exempt organiza-
tions competing with the average
small Businessman on an unfair
basis because they will not be pay
ing the Montana corporation in
come tax"
Although the Republican party
was overwhelmingly for House Bill
3S8 in the 1851 session, the same
does not seem to be the case this
year. Mr.. Howard continued, "Tax
equality is non-partisan issue. The
Republican party leadership in
Montana has indicated that it
would not support such legislation
as a party ISSUE"

About Time-A New House
For the Governor

If the legislature should give its
approval, by the time another ses-
sion rolls around, Montana's anti
quated and dilapidated old Cover
nor's Mansion at the corner of Sixth
and Ewing will be just another old
house.
House Bill 266 by McElwain,
Haines, Missoula, O'Connor, Mac
Donald and Dwyer, would earmark
100000 of the income from the
Capitol Building Fund, for a new
mansion.
The board of examiners would be
empowered to secure a site for the
new building, have an architect draw
up the plans, and sell bonds drawing

corporated in HB 90. One of the
most important proposed restrictions
would in effect force unemployed
workers into "open shop" conditions
and would definitely lay the ground
work for weakening wage scales in
the state. Labor also objected to re-
tention of the two-week waiting pc
riod, pointing out that only Colorado
and Montana do not have one-week
waiting periods in their laws.
Other provisions in the bill would
make it next to impossible for
many of Montana's $4,000 building
and construction workers, and log
ging-lumber workers, to secure un-
employment compensation.

House Bill 179 introduced by Full
ton, Hilger, Haines of Prairie, Bah
cock, and Hansen of Custer, is a new
and more vicious version of House
Bill 381 killed by adverse commit
tee report in the last session of the
Montana Legislature.
The bill is an amendment to Mon
tana's eminent domain statute. 1t
permits the taking of underground
reservoirs for storage of natural gas
by any public utility engaged in the
transportation or distribution of ma
tural gas. The bill had the covert op-
position of the Montana Power Com
pany in the last session which ac-
counted in part for the adverse COM
mittee report. This time it is under
stood that the Montana Power Com
pany is backing the Montana Dakota
Utilities Company in it's effort to Sc
cure the passage of the act. In fact,
it is our understanding that at
meeting of the Rocky Mountain Oil
and Gas Association at Billings re-
Gently, Robert Corrette, of the Mon
tana Power Company was present
and urged the Association to support
the bill. This it refused to do.
An examination of the bill is
enough to show how bad it is. 1t is
supposed to apply to exhausted gas
fields of which there are none in
Montana. 1t contains no definition of |
an exhausted field except that it
speaks of, Substantial depletion"
1t is presumed that the question of
whether the gas has been substantial
ly depleted will be a matter for a
court to eventually pass on in each
case. The testimony on that could
only come from high priced geolo-
gists, petroleum engineers, and the
like. 1t takes no great stretch of the
to realize that the land
owner involved would be at a most
serious disadvantage. The average
farmer is not able to pay geologists
at the rate of $50 a day and more
in protracted trials to testify on
his behalf.
But the bill does more than au-
thorize the taking of gas lands that /
have been substantially depleted. Sec
ton contains little joker, allow
ing the Court to condemn the gas
strata if, "the court finds that the
use of such sands, strata, or forma-
ton as an underground gas storage
reservoir by the public utility seek
ing to appropriate the same, would
be more beneficial to the public than

WHO GAVE THE TAX EQUALITY ASSOCIATION THE
RUN-AROUND?

Reports reaching this office in
dicate that several Republican leg
islators did attempt to introduce
another bill to place additional tax
alton on farmer co-operatives. They
were given the thumbs down"
treatment. Powerful lobbyists, who
in 1851 did not lift a hand to
stop HB 388, this time gave with
the line that "this (co-op taxa
tion) will be taken care of on the
federal level" This-in spite of
President Eisenhower pro-farmer
coop stand in the 1852 campaign,
and the fight put up by "Mr. Re-
publican, Robert Taft, last year
to stop a move for federal taxa
ton of farmer co-operatives.
Now, around t h e legislative
chambers, many are wondering if
the "Main Street" businessmen who
belong to Tax Equality Associa-
tion of Montana, have been given
the run around by certain power
full corporation lobbyists, in the
interests of maintaining harmony"
throughout the 1858 Legislature.
According to Buchanan House Com
mittee Report on Lobbying by
Corporations, and from Cong. Rec
ord, March 20, 1851, Montana
Power Company has been a major
contributor to Tax Equality As
sociation of Montana. The report
lists contributions by Montana

RIGHT OF Eminent DOMAIN THREATENED BY
SPECIAL PRIVILEGE LEGISLATION

the production of the quantity of
gas remaining therein that is capable
of being produced in paying quanti-
ties"
This little gimmick tears the
mask off the bill. Montana-Dakota
Utilities could exhaust every land
owner in Fallon county with end
less suits to condemn their gas
properties, even though the lands
are far from depleted. ALL MDU
has to do is allege that taking of
the sands for storage is a higher
public use than the production of
gas from them by the land owners.
The bill contains one other cute
little provision. 1t not only allows
the Montana Dakota Utilities to
condemn the gas strata, and to go
upon the surface of the lands con-
demned to drill wells to get at the
stored gas to lay pipes to transport
it, and to build compressor stations,
but allows the Montana Dakota Utili-
ties to go upon lands and drill to
determine whether there is any sand
underneath the surface of the land
that would be capable of storing gas.
That process would call for one con-
demnation proceeding, and in the
event they discover such a strata or
sand, another condemnation pro-
ceeding would be required to de-
termine the injury to the land owner
by reason of the underground stor-
age.
1t can readily be seen that no
individual could buck Montana Da-
kota Utilities under this bill. No
individual would have the kind of
money it would take to hire the
lawyers, geologists and expert wit
nesses required to protect these in
terests in court Nothing in the
act would prevent Montana Dakota
ional suit to turn right around and
start it all over again.
This bill is special legislation with
vengeance. The only demand for it
comes from the Montana Dakota Util-
ties Company, a rough riding, Twin
Cities outfit that two years ago, beat
he Montana Power Company to the
lraw and acquired huge amounts of
gas in the state of Wyoming. 1t is
led up with contracts to take more
gas than it can use. It's out is to take
away the land from the people of
Eastern Montana, and particularly in
he Cedar Greek field near Baker,
20 store the surplus to the day when
t can extend its lines to the east.
Hearings are being held on the bill
his Friday, the 9Th before the Oil
md Gas Committee of the House. In
dependent Oil and Gas men, and
landowners are appearing in opposi-
ion to the measure. How Represent
atives Fulton, Hilger, Haines, Bah
cock and Hanson could have spon-
;ored the bill is hard to understand.
Lawyers estimate it would cost a
landowner a minimum of $4,000
to protect his interests in fight
ing various condemnation proceed
ings and going up to State Su-
preme Court.

weeks. The two-week waiting period
would be cut to one week. Employ

estimated one million dollars per year

Donald. SB 146 by Wenger and Ma
honey.
HOUSE BILL 325
House Bill 325, by Wood of Chou
teau, is strongly supported by Mon
tana labor representatives. Under
this bill weekly benefits would be in
creased to $50 for 20 weeks. The two
week waiting period would be reduc-
ed to one.
