been consulted, he says, he would
have counseled against it. Over the
years he has helped draw legislation
that would improve the parole laws of
the state. He believes the Montana
State Legislature should consider
legislation based on the model act pre-
pared by the Committee on a State
Administered Probation and Parole
act of the National Probation Associ-
alton in 1910.
1t was about this time (1943) that
the legislature considered House Bill

Boards and Offices committee in the
Senate, but which was recommitted
to the Senate Judiciary committee
where it died.

Advocates of public ownership
counter by saying that publicly owned
enterprises do pay taxes as well as
make payments in place of taxes; and
that the basic reasons for the lower
charges by publicly owned utilities
are profits plowed back into the in

private owners, and that publicly

YEARBOOK TELLS
COOP SCOPE

CHICAGO - (CNS) - You name
the job, and there's a coop working
at it. AS the 1854 COOP YEAR
BOOK points out, there's a coop to
meet almost every need.
If farmer needs electricity or a
fair return from his crops, he has his
co-ops. If people need thrift or credit,
there are 1880 credit unions to
serve them. If people want adequate
medical care, health co-ops can do
the job. If people want food and
home supplies, coop supermarkets
and rural consumer co-ops stand
ready to serve them. And so on.
The 1854 COOP YEARBOOK -
standard coop fact book for the U. S.
- reports the activities of more than
$4,000 co-ops and their II million
member families, especially in the
past two years. 1t has lot of facts
about Canadian co-ops, too.
The book discusses eight national
coop education groups-like Credit
Union National Association, the Co.
operative League (Which publishes
the 132-page book, National Council
of Farmers Co-operatives, American
Institute .of Cooperation, National
Rural Electric Cooperative Associa-
ton.
1t gives facts in some detail about
"a big regional farm supply and con-
sumner co-ops in the U. S., half of
which are League members, plus eight
Canadian regional co-ops. 1t describes
national business and finance co-ops,
like National Co-operatives and Co
operative Finance Association of
America, and includes descriptions
of IA scoop minded" mutual insur-
ance firms.
The yearbook, published biennially,
also includes chapters on new de-
velopments in urban co-ops, medical
co-ops, power co-ops, factories, co-ops
and taxes, and numerous statistical
tables.

Committee Chairman G orge
Schotte and Blaine county Senator
Tom Ross, also questioned truckers
claims that Oregon operators are very
much against the weightmile act.
Schotte said his investigation showed
them overwhelmingly for the law.
Ross remarked that, if as the truck
ers' representatives contended, truck
ers were so hard hit by the WIN act,
that industry should be almost extinct
in Oregon. Such is decidedly not the
case, Ross pointed out.
Schotte also pointed out to the truck
ers that whether or not the Governors
committee considered weight-mile
tax, he had been assured that such
measure would be introduced in the
next legislature and that it would
have to be considered then.
Governor j. Hugo Aronson opened
the morning meeting stating that
1.-The highway problem is financial,
not a political one. Someone must pay
the bill and it is our job to devise the
most equitable method of increasing
department revenues, to
meet the demands and the anticipated
increase in federal aid.

CAR OWNERS, FARMERS WOULD
BE HIT HARDEST

The committees proposal that the
gas tax be increased another cent
would bring in an estimated two ano
one-fourth million dollars with can
and light truck owners paying the
lions share of the increase.
Farm truck operators would have
their gross vehicle weight fees
tripled, if the committees recon-
mendations should secure legisla-
tive approval, and would result in
farmers paying out more than SIX
hundred thousand dollars a year
in additional GVW fees on their
pickups and light trucks.
Truckers on the other hand,
would be treated with considerably
more compassion should recon-
mendations by the committee on
increasing their GVW by 10 per
cent be given legislative approval.

proposal, would pay an additional

BELL BACKS MILE

In the morning discussion of the
controversial weight-mile recommen-
dation, truckers representatives con-
tended that: l. The weight-mile is
impossible to enforce; 2. Administra-
ton is exceedingly costly; 3. 1t is
putting the trucking industry cut of
business in Oregon; A. 1t is diserimi-
natory to Oregon farm vehicle oper-
ators.
In reply to these contentious, H. o.
Bell, long time Missoula auto dealer
and member Of the Governors COM
mittee, said he thought ''the weight
mile is the fairest tax you can have
on all trucks" and cited the Oregon
record: /. Evasion and other losses
from enforcement difficulties are
running at less than one per cent;
2. Administration of the law costs
a u per cent Compare this with bet
ter than II per cent for administer

satisfied with the weight-mile tax

AN INDUSTRY OF DOUBTFUL
ETHICS?

One other committee proposal would
on paper, bring in more revenue from
large trucking operators. This one
recommends the tax on diesel fuel
be increased by three cents, (from
sc to &c a gallon). Based on 1858
figures, this added tax should bring
in in excess of four hundred thou
sand dollars per year. However, MIA
President Rice contends that such
boost in diesel oil tax will greatly in
crease evasion by truckers, and that
the net result would be less-not
more revenue from the taxing of
diesel fuel.
In attempting to kill the diesel tax
recommendation in the morning meet
ing of the committee, Rice further
contended that three-cent increase
in diesel tax would be magnified ten
times over in freight rates.
