TO Build New Elevator

Stockholders of the Hinsdale Grain
Cooperative association have taken
the first steps toward building new
C,OOO-bushel addition to their stor-
age capacity in that Valley county
town.
The stockholders at their annual
meeting unanimously decided that
the addition was necessary for the
farmer-owned cooperative to more
adequately serve the needs of its
patrons.
The new elevator will cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 and will bring
the co-op's total storage capacity to
10000 bushels.
The association had banner year

Stuff, and the patron-owners have
decided this a good time to pillow
back into their business dividends
earned for themselves by shipping
their grain comparatively.
Officers of the association are
Otto Timm, president; Melvin Jen-
sen, vice president; Alex Morgan,
secretary, and Edwin Swanson and
Sidney Simonsen, directors.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
The senate finance committee ended
hearings on the house-passed tax re-
vision bill, April %. Chairman Eu-
gene D. Milligin (R-Colo) will give
his staff two weeks to digest infor-
nation presented by a parade Of
witnesses, and then the committee

bill
Most controversial feature is a
proposal to tax income from cor
porate investments less heavily
than income from wages, salaries,
farm profits, and rent. It's in two
parts. First, a taxpayer would
simply exclude the first $50 he gets
in dividends the first year and 500
thereafter. These figures double
for individuals filing joint returns.

TO MEET In MlSSOULA I'm JUNE

Proposed state safety codes for
the logging-lumbering industry will
be discussed at a public hearing in
Missoula, June 8, 9 and 10, by the
Safety Code Advisory Committee,

The Advisory Committee for the

Labor members of the committee
are Robert c. Weller, Kalispell,

ficials of Montana District Council
of Lumber & Sawmill Workers,
AFL.
The advisory group at its recent
meeting decided to make no changes
in the proposed codes pending the
public hearing and the hearings will
be conducted on drafts prepared by
the Industrial Accident Board IN
1853 with the cooperation OF indus
try and labor representatives.
Meanwhile, arrangements have

Federal handouts talk about

in favor of getting the government
out of the power business is that the
utilities pay taxes. When they were
arguing for commercial development
of Niagara Falls, five commercial
utilities claimed that they would pay

of New York pointed out that these
very companies had received $500

write-offs since the Korean war and
would get another $3.50 million in

FIRST ACTION TO BE TAKEN
ON 1851 LAW

The Committee was appointed by
the Montana Industrial Accident
Board and action on the codes for
the Lumber Industry is the first to
be undertaken under authority of
the 1851 Montana legislative assem-
bly,. Funds for carrying out the
code legislation were not appropri-
ated until the 1858 session.
Advisory committees for other in
dustries will later be appointed de-
pending upon the amount of funds
remaining after adoption of the Log
ging and numbering Codes.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

| conclusion, but it was necessary to
leave the workshop and return to
the sweatshop. Next week I will
try and give some of my ideas about
what | gained from the Institute.
The Anaconda Copper Mining
Company, l hear, has told the Presi-
dent of the Montana State Fedora
ton of Labor that labor is foolish to
go out with an Initiative on Silicosis
because the ACM, will, of course,
fight it and they are in a better
position to win this time than last
time and it would be waste of time
and effort for labor to go to the
trouble and expense. That, naturally
is the ACM side of the story, and
who would any of us be to even think
that they aren't right. History, mon
ey, everything is on their side. But
then some people just love to live
dangerously, and all labor will have to
lose is their welfare checks, so what?
According to my information the
social call on ALL headquarters by
Mr.. Corette was amicable but I'M
productive
Just before we go to press have
found out that decision on the Dry
man case has been handed down. To
those who have followed to some ex-
tent the proceedings in this case it
will be of interest to them to know
that the case has been remanded to
the district court with direction that
a change of venue be granted from
Toole county to some other county
not adjacent thereto.
The majority decision was written
by Justice Freebourn and concurred
in by Justices Adair and Bottomly.
A dissent was written by Justices
Anderson and Angstman.

Advocates say this proposal will

is taxed 1876 times, what's wrong
with taxing dividends twice?

Taken as a whole the show de-

some very versatile ones.
Most of them exhibited in more
than one medium and chose a var
iety of subjects.
With the additional space provId-
ed by moving the musuem to the
other side of the fort, visitors to
the Gallery will find that they can
really enjoy the exhibit and GER
tainly the artists will benefit by
having more room to hang their
work.
Key Westers and tourists alike
should take time to see this show.
The Art and Historical Society has
been working hard for several
years and the results of their eff
forts make the old fort one Of the
most charming spots in Key West
and one that every one should see.
