1855 SUGAR Beet
WAGE Rates SET

Minimum wage requirements for
the 1866 sugar beet crop in Montana
provide the same rates as for the 1854
crop, according to Leo S. Kolstad,
State Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation administrative officer.
The requirements were recently de-
termined by the u. S. Department of
Agriculture.
Piecework rates for thinning, hoe
ing, and wedding vary by operation
and wage district. Piecework rates
for pulling, topping, and loading may
be agreed upon between producer
and worker, but the earnings of
workers at such rates must be not
less than 70 cents per hour The mini
mum time rates are 65 cents per hour
for hand labor work-thinning hoe
ing and weeding-and 70 cents for
pulling, topping land loading. For all
other operations, the time rates are
to be as agreed upon between pro-
ducers and workers.
Producers must pay workers in
with such wage require
ments as one of the conditions for
receiving payments authorized by the
Sugar Act of 1913, as amended. Pro-
ducers are also required to furnish
workers without charge customary
such as housing, garden
plot, and similar items.
Further information concerning the !
1855 wage rate determination is avail
able at county ASC offices. Copies of
he determination, including the Span
sh translation, will be available at
he county ASC offices in the near
uture.

Even with Savenac in full produc-

planting on national forests in the
northern region comprising Montana,
northern Idaho and northeastern
Washington have been completed and
the foresters who will be in charge
of the operations are awaiting the
opening of late spring to start OPP
erations, according to A. G. Lindh, in
charge of the Division of Timber
Management in the regional office
here in Missoula.
A total of approximately one mil
lion trees will be planted this spring.
Forests with the larger programs in
clude the Kaniksu Forest with head
quarters at Standpoint, Idaho, where
approximately 100000 trees will be
planted; the Kootenai Forest in
northwestern Montana with head
quarters at Libby with approximately
100000 trees; the Nezperce Forest
with headquarters at Grangeville,
Idaho with 175,000 trees; the Lewis
& Clark Forest, planting about 10000
trees in the Little Rockies; and the
Custer Forest, planting 100000 trees
in the Red Lodge district; the re-
mainder will be planted in smaller
projects distributed between the Lolo
Forest with headquarters at Missoula;
Colville Forest with headquarters at |
Colville, Washington; and the Bitter
root Forest with headquarters at
Hamilton.
The trees for this planting are pro-
duced at Savenac Nursery which is
SO miles west of Missoula on highway
No. 10. Savenac is one of the oldest
tree nurseries in the United States,
said Mr.. Lindh. 1t was established in
1909 just prior to the 1910 fires. Dur

about lis, 100000 trees used for the

from government power plants alone
in Montana. And don't forget REAs
have preference right.
REAs are not compelled to buy their
power from Bureau of Reclamation or
anyone else at the rate of 5.5 mills per
X III. They have preference right but
1T is not compulsory. During 1853, REAs
purchased 1870 of FIT. Peck power at
4.75 mills per XVIII, not 5.5 mills as
Mr.. Kenfie1d says.
During the year of 1854, the Montana
Power Co. paid $S,8S7, 600 or 2Sh % of
their gross revenues in taxes. REAs
IN Montana paid about 20 of their gross
revenue in taxes. If public utility taxes
were proportionately the same as REA,
their rates would be reduced by 25 20.
Mr.. Kenfield inquiries why am so sensi-
tive about public utility taxes. The rea-
son is simple and obvious. It is because
to support the schools for the educa-
ton of the children of the members
of the REA Co-ops
The subject being debated is this
DO REA "Co-ops Pay Plenty in Taxes?
The answer is an emphatic NO, not even
one tenth of their fair share consider
ing income taxes The point is not even
debatable. Public utilities pay taxes on
20 of their actual value, while REA
Co-ops pay taxes on less than go of
their actual value. Even any elementary
school-child can understand that.
With this, / terminate this debate as
far as I am concerned rest my case,

Behind-the-scenes manuevering al
the recent session of the state legis-
lature resulted in a tricky double
cross of the Butte miners and other
victims of silicosis, it was revealed
last week by union representatives.
The double-cross came to light
when the State Welfare Commission
notified many recipients of state sill
costs payments that they would be
ineligible to receive $65 month pay
ments after May under the NEW
law" Many of the men came to the
union, and the Butte Miners Union
and the district office of Mine-Mill
went into joint action.
Investigation last week revealed
that the following is what happened:
Representative Ray Lee of Silver
Bow, member of the Miners Union,
had introduced bill to increase sill
COSTS payments from $50 to SIS a
month. Another bill was introduced
by the state Welfare Commission de-
signed ito take care of certain adj
problems"

nittee, ACM lobbyists went to work
