PRIVATE GRAIN TRADE URGES FUNDS TO Finish
WORK ON TESTING LABORATORY

and more needs to be added. We
now have the same capacity we had
in 1888, that is 576 samples day.
They come in at the rate of one
thousand a day and average over
800 during the harvest season. To
keep pace with this we need to in
crease our capacity by one-half, that
is twenty-four more digesters and
twenty-four more stills, so that we
will have capacity of 864 tests per
day. To go with this we will need
one more grinding mill, one more
analytical balance and new titration
table. The additional digesters and
stills will have to be put in the base
ment because the main floor is fully
occupied. To use the basement we
must have an elevator, also &C.
ment floor. We have three obsolete
Federal dockage testers that must
be replaced. The results obtained on
these dockage testers do not conform
to Federal requirements. Two new
Carter Dockage Testers are request
ed in their place.

Could a study be undertaken, sim
liar to the one that has accomplished
a great deal in the interests of the
Montana State Hospital at Warm

it has been rutted for almost two

LEGISLATURE APPROVES welfare STATE" FOR
OFFICERS OF CORPORATIONS

ing the industrially disabled, their
children, and the run-of-the-mine ED
erly employee. But, don't hold your
breath until those bastions of free
enterprise our corporations-vol-
UNFAIRLY extend such largess to the
Ordinary Joe" who mucks the ore,
fells the timber, or absorbs the pols-
onous fumes of some of our factor
les. AS underlined above, this is strict
ly a welfare state" proposition for
"officers" of corporations.
For example, suppose the fumes
from cigar smoke-filled backrooms
became too much for Bob Corette,
head ACM- Montana Power lobbyist,
and he subsequently contracted an
occupational disease from the haz-
ards surrounding the running of a
legislature. His boards of directors,
having taken note of Bob's faithful
and fruitful service to his employers,
under HB 128 would be permitted
to extend to him and his family such
occupational disease compensation as
they would deem fitting. This they
could do without vote of the stock
holders. Bob, unlike the victims of
Silicosis, would be well-taken care of
as long as his disability case of "Ci-
garosis" continued.
Yep, the "welfare state" is tur
rible, turrible thing = unless it's
your own personal welfare that is

HOWeUer

Did somebody say the welfare
state" would be dangerous to the
moral fibre and internal strength
of the nation?
Were there not many dire predic-
tions during the 1852 campaign
should proponents of the welfare
state" once again be placed in high
office?
OF course, maybe the real ques-
ton hinges on whose welfare state
you are talking about.
For example, there is House Bill
1913 by McElwain which has now
passed both houses. Certainly by no
stretch of the imagination could
Rep. Northumberland a majority of
either house be considered
thorough-going welfare staters. J"
But, there is lib 1913, all the same.
1t went through the house without
a ripple, and would have likely re-
ceived similar treatment in the SEN
ate but for Sen. Mcdonnell of Sweet
grass who brought to light the fact
that lib 1913 was one of those hearth
ly detested "welfare state" propo-
sitions. Even so, only senate votes
were cast in opposition.
What does HB 1913 do? Here it
is in a nutshell: For faithful COR
poration officials it provides the
next thing to "cradle to the grave"
security. Quote:
"To provide by action of its board
of directors for the furnishing or
granting to any employee or en-
ployees, at the expense of the Cor
poration, insurance against accident,
sickness, disability or death, and for
the payment of medical expenses,
and pensions, retirement allowances
or gratuities to any employees based
on services rendered before, after,
or before and after, such plan is
adopted, and to their wives or de-
pendents, such pension allowance or
gratuity to be payable in such
amounts, at such times and upon such
conditions, for life or for shorter
period, and to be revocable or IT.
revocable, as the board of directors of
the corporation in it's discretion shall
determine; and to provide for any
such pensions or allowances or in
surance the board of directors may
establish one or more trust funds
The term employees as used in this
act shall be deemed to include Off
GERS :" (emphasis ours).
Of course, if you believe in fairy
godmothers, then it would be con-
ceivable that HB 1913 might hold the

Seven representatives of major
private grain firms have urged the
| House appropriations committee to
give favorable consideration to sup
plying sufficient funds for the com
pletion of the grain testing labora-
tory in Great Falls.
This request was made known viz
letter to Rep. Neil Taylor, chair
man of the House committee. The
grain men told Taylor they find ''this
service necessary in marketing our
grain to best advantage.
eve are aware that the service has
often been performed under severe
handicaps because of inadequate
space, equipment, and personnel, re-
sulting in delayed reports that were
aggravating and unsatisfactory in
proper marketing.
montana wheat crops have been
far above average in production in
recent years which, coupled with dam
age in two of the last three years,
has greatly increased demands for
laboratory services. We urge the
legislature to give due consideration
to the needs of the Great Falls grain
inspection service in order that our
high quality Montana wheat may be
properly marketed to the advantage
of all concerned which is, of course,
to the advantage of the State econo-
my as a whole"
Grain men signing the letter were:
Ralph K. Welch, Atwood Larson Co.;
Lloyd w. Nelson, Cargill, Inc; M.
Estill, Centennial FIGURING Mills Co.;
G. O. Fisher, Gallatin Valley Mill
ing Co.; H. w. Bernhardt, General
Mills, Inc; M. J. Greedy, Greedy Ele-
vator Co.; Robt. Huss, Montana Ele-
vator Co.
The grain lab, in addition to be-
ing of utmost Importance to grain
growers and traders, is also a very
profitable enterprise for the state
general fund. Between July /, 1949
and January 1, 1868, the lab had
total income of $334,702.41. Total
operating expense plus cost of lab
building put in operation less than
year ago ($3O,OOO), was $780,
54O.41. Net income for period, $780,
1920.
To complete the lab, the Depart
ment of Agriculture is asking just
under $4,000 Should this amount
be made available, it will not only
allow completion of the physical
Il
equipment with which to greatly ex-
pedite the making of tests during
the peak harvest months.
Pointing up the need for addition
al testing equipment, grain lab sup
erintendent George Moran recently
stated:
eve still have only the same equip
ment we had in 1888 and it is getting
worn out. 1t needs to be overhauled

TWO TAX BILLS TO HELP

Forthcoming from the 1853 Legisla-
ture. House Bill 244 and Senate Bill
$50, proposing reasonable increases
in Oil Producers License Tax, have
been killed by adoption of adverse
committee reports.
House Bill, PA, by Tango, would
have increased the license tax from
two to four per cent and would have
brought in an additional half million
dollars per year (minimum) for dis
tribution over the state by the leg
islature.
Senate Bill $50, by Anderson
(Pondera), Tibbals, Nesvig, Robins
and Grandey, would have increased
the license tax from two to four
and one-half per cent. Under SD $50
one half of the first 100000 col
lected each year would be pro-rated
back to oil-producing counties for
distribution to the schools, counties
and towns. Above the first 100000,
one-fourth of all receipts under the
tax, would have gone to the oil coun-
ties in proportion to their production.

That $1,000 isn't very much when
one considers how important the
lab is to Montana grain growers

come entirely out of earnings of the

stitute a drain on the state general

SWCB ASSISTANCE TO REA'S
MAY BE ENDED BY SB 1O4

Senator James (D-Liberty) read
an opinion from the Attorney Gen
erals office in answer to a question
submitted by James that the work
of the Water Conservation board
would be ended in the field of assist
ing REA's if 104 passed.
Senator Wilson, (D-Toole) said
that coupled with Senator DR.. An
derson's SJR-3* the death lnell would
be rung for public power in Montana.
He said, "Some things can not be
saved for the people without the
state going into business. Let's keep
things that are valuable"
Senator Wallace, (R-Lake) was
Anderson's only supporter in debate
on the Senate floor. Senator Wal
lace was the author of SD go in the
1947 session. He said adjustment
of the laws under SD 104 was a
move in conjunction with the reor-
ganization committee recommends
tions to cut down the codes.
Senate Bill 104 passed the Senate.
Montana's state senate approves the
move to entrench monopoly. 1t seems
over the past 10 years the people
have wisely handled the authority
they had at their command under
the law the senate would abolish.
However, free enterprise can also
over-indulge and business monopoly
can be as great an evil as state mo-
nopoly. We already have the bust
ness monopoly and the state for
over Is years has been no threat.

Popular Oak Harbor Couple Observe
Their Silver Wedding Anniversary

Several hundred relatives and
friends were present at the K. of
C. Hall in Oak Harbor last Satur-
day night in observance of the
twenty fifth wedding anniversary
cf Mr.. and Mrs. Max Sharpe. Mu-
sic for dancing was provided by
Allen Franck and his Melody
Makers from eight until IL p. m.
in the hall which was beautifully
decorated with spring flowers and
silver bells, and with silver balls
suspended from the ceiling. The
mantle was centered with man.
moth bouquet of snapdragons.
Dainty Hawaiian orchids in leak
proof ostume lapel pin vases,
which were flown directly from
Hawaii, were presented to all the
ladies present by the Sharpes.
Shirley and Sonnia Cashen, nieces
of Mrs. Sharpe, were the flower
girls, carrying the orchids in their
flower baskets and giving them as
the ladies came in.
The wedding cake was designed
as The Bible on which the mar
riage vows were written in full,
and the double wedding rings
were shown. Pink roses and deli
cate silver trimming made the
cake very beautiful and authen-
tic.
Mrs. Sharpe wore a changeable
old rose imported pure silk gown
trimmed with Italian lace on
which were rose SequinS and
rhinestones, and she wore white
orchid. Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Cash
en- of Genoa, who attended the
couple, were present for the cele-
bration. Mothers of the couple and
Mrs. Cashen also wore orchid cor
sages with their costumes.
During the dancing the orches-
ira played Il Love You Truly" at
