ALETTER FROM
LANTAFF

Dear NeighbOr:
The question of tax reduction
is still the subject of very hot
debate in Washington,
The other day your Congress-
man received a letter from a
prominent South Florida bust
nessman who wrote: 1.-THE excess
profits tax is the most unjust, in
equitable tax ever perpetrated
upon the American people. In
most instances, this tax provides
lower rate of taxation for large
Well-eStabliShed businesses, as
contraSted to a higher rate for the
new, growing business so essen
tial to the American economy" He
went on TO point out how one
small company in Detroit pays Is
per cent more taxes than does the
General Motors Corporation.
While the excess profits tax rs
scheduled to die on June 80 OF
this year, President Eisenhower
has requested that this tax be
extended until January l of next
year. 1t involves about $500 mil
lion. In my opinion any loss oc-
caSioned by repeal of this tax
would be easily offset by in
creased revenue from normal
taxes that would result from
thriving and dynamic economy
unhampered by an ill-conceived
tax structure.
Although Congressman Dan
Reed of New York is still press
ing for action on his bill which
would provide individual income
tax reduction, effective July ! OF
this year, there appears to be no
prospect for any relief for ind1-
vidual taxpayers until at least
next January.
The whole argument about tax
reduction revolves around the ar
gument that the first thing the
government must do is balance
its budget and at the same time
preserve a strong national de-
tense. am in 100 per cent agree
ment with both of these principles.
An unbalanced budget leads 10
initiation and cheapens the value
of your dollar. An unbalanced
budget is the beginning of vic
| lous cycle because next year You
would have 10 pay out more
money for the airplaneS, ships,
and bombs needed for the de-
Tense Of America. To pay for
these you would either have to
! raise taxes or continue with an
other unbalanced budget; how
ever, in my opinion, the Ameri-
can people were promised a bal
anced budget, tax reduction and
! adequate defense.
All three can be accomplished
! if the Congress will approve a
resolution sponsored by several
of us here in the House Of Rep
{ resentativeS which would pro-
vide that total government eX-
penditures during any fiscal year
4 could not exceed total revenue.
In other words, it would force
the Federal Government to cut
the cloth to fit the pattern.
Sincerely yours

thereto, and owned by the Buyer
and occupied by its employees. Ex-
cept as hereinbefore provided, Buy
er agrees not to resell or distribute
to others any gas it may purchase
from seller hereunder or permit
any subsidiary company to resell
or distribute to others any gas
purchased hereunder"
This, according to the Attorney
General, "allows the ACM to engage
in the domestic sale of gas to do
mestic users. 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that there are great
number of dwelling houses on the
property of the ACM user in the City
of Butte and by this contract, the
ACM user is allowed to or is engaged
in the intrastate sale Of gas. AS such,
it is subject to the jurisdiction of
this board, as public utility engaged
in intrastate sale of gas, and all prop
critics of such user and seller must be
considered in any rate determination
before this board.
The contention Of Olsen's office
that ACM should be regulated by Pub
lie Service. Commission appears well
founded. Under terms of MPCo.-A
contract the door is wide open to not
only give ACM employees living in
company houses an unfair price break
over other gas consumers, but, to
slso give other ACM subsidiaries an
unfair competitive advantage.
For example, there is nothing to
stop ACM from supplying its sub
sidiary, Montana Hardware Co.,
Butte, with gas at 20 cents per thou
sand cubic feet. Competitors of Mon
tana Hardware must currently pay

ACM Should Be Regulated
By P.S.C.?

Exploring the possibility the ACM
should have at least part of its gas
operations regulated by the Public
Service Commission, the state brief
calls attention to the final paragraph
of Section 6 of the MPCo.-ACM gas
contract which states:
"The gas delivered hereunder
may be resold by Buyer (ACM)
to any corporation, a majority of
the stock which is owned by the
Buyer, when such corporation is
adjunct to the operations of Buy
err, specified herein. Buyer may
also resell said gas to the occu-
pants of houses located on the

the statute as it does not ask the
commission to value the property
used and useful in the service of
the public, but it asks the commits
sion to value property which
MIGHT be used in event all the
property being presently used was
replaced or reproduced at present
material and construction costs,
which are considerably greater, due
to initiation, than the original costs
:"
Noting how advantageous the "orig-
inal cost less depreciation" theory
would be to Montana Power, the brief
notes that the company "for the year
1852 pegged its plant value at $780,
169,067 as compared to an original
cost of $23,022, 028 and original costs
less depreciation value of SIT, 102,-
260. 1t is obvious that the applicant
is asking return based on a plant
valued at more than twice their orig
inal investment properly deprecated.
This is completely unrealistic valua-
ion and should be rejected If
we examine the rates requested by
the applicant and apply the increase
to the revenues for the year 1852,
the rate of return based on a plant
valuation at the original cost less
depreciation would be in excess of IL
per cent. We submit that such re-
turn is excessive and that this board
should in no way consider such size
able increase. 1t is matter of gen
aral law that the return to the utility

Did Commission Err In
Excluding ACM Operations ?

"The commissions decision to close
its eyes to the consideration of that
portion of the applicants (Montana
Power's) plant devoted to the Ana
conda Copper Mining Co. is not only
unwise but it is unfair to the pub
lie and to the commission itself. Thus
does Attorney General Arnold H. OIL
sens office contend in opposing the
proposed 80 to AZ per cent increase
in natural gas rates recently request
ed of the Public Service Commission
by Montana Power Company. Olsen's
brief, drafted by Assistant Attorney
General William Leaphart, in sub
Stimulating the contention the COM
mission erred in excluding testimony
relevant to supplying gas for the
ACM, states further that this ex-
clusion leaves the door wide open
for discriminatory rates" being i'm
posed against all other gas customers
of the company, and that separation
of the ACM's gas demands from that
used by all other consumers "leaves
much room for error and manipula-
ton"
During the PSC hearings held late
in May on the power company's re-
quest, the commission ruled that no
evidence concerning ACM gas pur-
chases would be permitted in the rec
ord. This. ruling was made despite
heated and well-reasoned objections
by attorneys for protestants to the
increase.)
Emphasizing in yet another way
how unrealistic the commissions ex-
clusion ruling is, Leaphart's brief |
asserts that as a result there is no
regulation whatsoever, by either Fed |
eral Power Commission or Public Ser
vice Commission, of the 20-cent per
thousand cubic feet rate charged ACM |
by Montana Power; that there is, in
actuality, no way of determining
whether:
% ACM is paying fair price for
gas,
(2) ACM is paying too much, or
CD ACM is receiving gas at less
than cost with the other $4,000
Montana consumers making up the
difference by paying excessively
high rates.
In still further substantiation of
he contention of error by the COM
mission in excluding ACM gas, the
Attorney General cites case after case
IN the non-separability of any por-
ions Of integrated gas distribution '
ystems, as decided by other public
ervice commissions and state and
ederal courts.

WHEAT CROP PROSPECTS, A BRIGHT SPOT
In STATES AGRICuL TURAL OUTLOOK

MISSOULA-Wi With the agricultur-
al situation somewhat uncertain this
year, the expectation of an excep-
tional wheat crop is bright spot in
Montana's agricultural outlook, ac-
cording to an article in the July is
sue of Montana Business. The bulle-
tin is published monthly by the Bu-
reau of Business and Economic Re-
search at Montana State University.
Gross agricultural income (cash re-
ceipts from farm marketings) from
January through April 1853 was 6.5
per cent below the first four months
of 1852 and 10.5 per cent below the
same period in 1851. Receipts from
crop marketings were approximately
the same as last year but per cent
below 1851. Lower prices for cattle
and sheep resulted in declines in live
stock receipts of Is per cent below
January-April 1862, and 10 per cent
under 1851.
FROM GLOOM TO OPTIMISM
Heavy precipitation in Montana
during May and the early part of
June has resulted in favorable crop
prospects for the Treasure State. The
winter wheat terminated poorly last
fall from lack of moisture, but the
excellent rains this spring have
changed the crop outlook from one of
gloom to one of optimism Much of
the winter wheat acreage has been re-
seeded to spring wheat and if nor
m precipitation occurs during
the remainder of the growing season
a bumper crop is anticipated There
is danger, however, that some of the
late spring seeding may not mature
before frost
The prospect of good wheat crop
this year is particularly important
to the state because about 40 per cent
of total farm income in Montana is
normally derived from the sale of
wheat. With short crop last year
compared to 1850 and 1851 and with
declining prices for livestock result
ing in reduced farm income in 1862
and thus far in 1858, the prospect of |

CATTLE PRICE WAY DOWN,
NUMBERS UP

numbers VI
The cattle population on Montana
farms and ranches is at an all-time
high, with numbers of other livestock
and poultry fewer than during past
years. On Jan. 1, 1853, the total value
of livestock and poultry on Montana
farms and ranches was estimated at
1913 million, a drop of 81 per cent
from the $500 million value a year
earlier. AS of May Is, 1858 prices
received by Montana farmers and
ranchers for all livestock and prod
ucts (including poultry were 81 per
cent below the same date year ago.
Marketing of livestock was heavy
during the early part of the year,
but has been slow this spring. Some
ranchers are overstocked because of
large follower last fall, but are re-
luctant to sell because of low cattle
prices. This is particularly true now
that range prospects have improved.
Montana Business notes that with
production and living costs failing
to decline as rapidly as agricultural
prices, farmers and ranchers will con-
tinue to be in less favorable posi-
ton than in recent years. This is par
ticularly true with respect to the live
stock industry.
