Other Stofes LUring Trained
Teachers Away From Montana

Teachers salaries are often point.
ed to as one of the most important
elements in the increase in education
al costs. But the case has actually
been that between 1880 and 1854,
the increase in total expenditures for
public elementary and secondary
schools was 273 per cent, while in the
same period, average salaries for
teachers increased only 167 per cent.
cit should not be necessary for
teachers to leave the classrooms
for an administrative position not
to leave the profession altogether
to achieve a reasonable standard
of living. The shortage of class
room teachers is largely reflec-
ton of their low salaries.
During this American Education
Week, the people of Montana should
consider seriously the problem of
providing adequate teaching person
mel for the boys and girls attending
our schools. Each year in Montana
we are educating about 5000 more
children than the year before. The
teachers needed to meet these in
creases in enrolment plus the num-
bers needed to replace those who
retire or leave the state Or the pro-
fession, creates serious problem.
Unless we can attract and hold more
people, fully qualified as teachers,
the future success of public educa-
ton in. Montana will be jeopardized.

when we compare salaries for
teachers in Montana with those in
the other eleven Western states, we
can see why Montana is rapidly be-
coming a mere training ground for
teachers in these states" d. D.
Cooper, executive secretary of the
Montana Education Association, said
in a statement released in Helena in
connection with American Education
Week.
''The people of Montana should
realize that each year we are losing
more and more of our fully trained,
experienced, younger teachers to
states who recognize these qualities
by paying higher salaries. To meet
the recommendation of the White
House Conference on Education held
recently in Helena-that Montana
pay teachers salaries comparable to
the other eleven Western states
would require an increase of about
five hundred dollars per year on
the average" Cooper continued.
Until we can compare favorably
with these other states in teachers
salaries, we will continue to lose some
of our finest teaching talent. At the
same time, we are unable to attract
teachers from other states as readily
as we have in the past. States that
have had lower salaries
than Montana have improved to the
point where the difference is not |

CLEANUP OF POULTRY INDUSTRY
URGED BY GREAT FALLS LABOR

GREAT FALLS-"Correc of
conditions permitting diseased and
filthy poultry TO be sold to the
American public" is urged in letters
to the Montana congressional dele
CATION by the Cascade County
Trades & Labor Assembly, accord
ing to John Evanko, Jr., assembly
secretary.
The action taken by the Great
Falls central labor body comes as
a result of years-long campaign
by the International Union of
Butcher Workmen-AFL to secure
congressional Tightening of pres
emily inadequate poultry inspection
laws. The Butchers, over the last
few years, have been conducting
wide-scale publicity program on the
extremely unsanitary conditions
prevailing in the poultry processing
industry in many areas of the ma
ton.
Before and since launching the
public information campaign, the
Butchers International, in conduct
ing their investigation of the in
dustry, discovered that much of
the industry was pawning off as
pure food, poultry which had died
from any number of diseases. The
unions Investigations also showed
that unsanitary packing conditions
prevailed in much of the industry
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1955-11-11

Further, the union found that,
unlike the meat-packing industry,
federal inspection laws are very
inadequate, and that the states with
few exceptions, have poultry in
spection legislation of little or no
value. One of the exceptions is
California, where very rigid in
spection laws are effectively en-
forced.
Since commencing the campaign,
a number of major cities have put
into operation effective poultry
inspection ordinances. Likewise, an
increasing number of packing
plants under union contract with
the AFL Butchers, upon cleaning
up their operations are being per-
mitted to use the international
unions label certifying that the
poultry packed in such plants is
pure and wholesome and has been
processed under sanitary condi-
tons
Other local groups are urged to
also write Montana's congressional
delegation requesting enactment of
adequate purity and enforcement
laws that the Food & Drug Admin
istration may be given the GO
ahead to force professors to main
tain quality and sanitation stand

try-consuming public.

MILK CONTROL BOARD WINS IMPORTANT COURT
TEST OF IT'S LICENSING AUTHORITY

The complaint in the case having
been signed by A. A. Klemme, of
Helena, executive secretary of the
board. The case was heard Thursday
and Friday of last week, at which
time the jury heard testimony from
Klemme and DR.. Hadleigh Marsh,
executive officer of the Livestock
Sanitary Board. Defense witnesses
included Joseph Cummings and his
wife, Mrs. Cummings.
A. A. Klemme announced that the
Milk Control Board has instructed
him to press for more rigid enforce
ment of the Milk Control Law, and
also the board has prepared sched-
ule for the annual review of all Con-
troll Board schedules in each of the
states thirty-three milk control areas.

ST. per cent return on invest
ment.
Another interesting point in the
Idaho MST&T case is that, unlike the
Montana commission, the Idaho board
paid no attention to the Separation
manual" with its Charleston amend
ment, as a means of determining the
amount of plant investment charge
able to interstate and the amount
chargeable to intrastate telephone
service. This manual, the commission
found land the court affirmed) pre-
sents an inaccurate ALLEGATION of in
terstate and interstate plant costs.
Following its refusal to accept the
separation manual formula for such
ALLEGATIONS, the Idaho commission
then took $3,0O0,0O0 in plant value
which MST&T claimed was for intra-
state service, and put it under the
interstate portion of plant invest
ment. This decreased by $3,00O,OOO
the amount of value the utility could
properly allocate for intrastate rate
setting purposes.
(By way of contrast, the Montana
commission has accepted the plant
ALLEGATION formula in the separation
manual without questioning its fair
ness despite the fact it is obviously
weighted against intrastate users OF
telephone service. Thus, our commits
sion has condoned this unfairness
which shows itself by way of higher
telephone rates. P.V.

general.
Offshoot of the whole matter was,
that in due time the commission and
the attorney general got the matter
of the injunction and the higher rate
schedule before the supreme court.
The supreme court, after considering
all pertinent evidence, voided the
increases affirming the commissions
contention that under the old rate
schedule the utility was receiving a
reasonable return on it's investment
of ST. per cent.
As result of the courts decision,
telephone users in Idaho are on an
average receiving approximately $25
refund from the telephone company.
SOME INTERESTING CONTRASTS
Since. at this time, the latest rate
increase granted the same subsidiary
of American Tel. & Tel by the Mon
tana Public Service Commission is
before the Montana Supreme Court
for determination of its reasonable
ness and whether it was necessary in
order for the company to make fair
return on investment, some of the
findings of the Idaho commission and
high court are of interest.
In Idaho, unlike Montana, the
public service commission gives no
consideration whatsoever to the
reproduction new less deprecia-
ton" theory of plant value. APP
plication of this theory invariably
results in greatly inflated plant
value, thus providing unreal
rate base-and the result desired
by the petitioning utility-higher
charges to the subscribers. The
Idaho commission bases "fair re-
turn" to the utility on the amount
necessary to service the capital
investment. Using this method of
determining rates, the commission
found that under the old rate
schedule MST&T was receiving a
