Bill TO Weaken Control
OF Liquor Licensing Dead

Sub. HB 23-the proposal to cut
from five years to one the length
of time an out-of-state person need
be a resident in Montana, died on
the Senate floor Wednesday, Death
came on voice vote concurrence with
motion by Sen. Wilson (D-Toole)
to indefinitely postpone" consider
alton of Sub. HB %. Earlier, Sen.
Wallace (R-Lake) had spoken briefly
in favor of the bill. !.
This bill, as VOICE readers will
recall, we questioned some weeks
back. Originally drawn to let out
of-state people secure licenses after
only 60 days residence, it was amend
ed in committee to the one year llnll-
tation. Consensus of opinion was that
it was an opening wedge for possibly
unsavory outsiders to begin getting
a foothold in Montana without ade-
quate time having elapsed for the
Liquor Control Board to determine
whether or not such applicants were
reasonably desirable citizens.

Despite the people having twice
overwhelmingly repudiated gasoline
tax increase proposals-first by d1-
rect vote in 1862, and then by their
elected representatives in the 1858
Legislature majority of the House
obediently did the bidding of the
trucking industry in approving one
cent hike in the gasoline tax last
Friday.
Voting on a higher gasoline tax
followed defeat of the weight-mlle
proposal, Sub HB sc by coalition
made up primarily Of Republicans,
five Silvercrats from Silver Bow, and
a sixth from Cascade.
Passage of HB 257, by Broker (R-
Cascade), came on third reading and
found "a House members voting
faye" and 80 may.
Should HB 257 make it unscathed
through the Senate, Montana automo-
bile owners will have to dig up an
other STA million annually to aid

HOUSE DEFsED People
ON HIGHWAY FINANCING
UMBER CHARGES

"The House of Representatives de-
fled the people of Montana and
obeyed the truck and bus lobby when
it killed Sub. HE &c." the weight
mile truck taxing proposal, James S.
TIMBER, president of Montana State
Federation of Labor, charged this
week.
"The House granted the trucks at
least two more years of use of the
highways without having to pay their
fair SHARE" he said.
tAt the same time, the repre-
sentatives voted for an additional
penny tax per gallon of gasoline
on the already overwhelmed gen.
eral user of the highways" the head
of the 25, OO0-member labor fed
Grafton continued. This in spite of
the fact that the people in 1852
overwhelmingly voted down any in
crease in the gasoline tax because
they believed the trucks were pay
ing far from their equitable share
of the costs of building and main
tanning our highways.
TIMBER, in urging Montana people
to speak out in opposition to any
further increase in gasoline tax,
stated, Montana citizens will now
pay the highest gas tax in the nation
while Montana trucks and buses will
continue to escape paying their share
of the cost of highways, and will pay
among the lowest taxes. The trucks
and buses want better highways, but
they want the rest of the people to
pay for them"
Concluding, he observed that
should the gas tax increase be put
on the books cit will be contested
in the courts. 1t is certain that an
injunction against this new gasoline
tax will be instituted. 1t is an arbi-
trary and discriminatory tax"

Generally speaking, as Norby
says, people don't know what goes
on in the legislature" If they did,
asserts Rep. Gene Picotte (D-Lewis
& Clark they'd be making some
changes in their representation. Re-
ferring to the proposed gas tax in
crease, Picotte said, "my people didn't
send me out here to increase the gas
tax. They want weight-mile. We
should kill this gas tax bill Glib 257).

PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ENOUGH
TO VOTE ON INITIATIVES

"It's a dangerous thing to say
said Rep. Fritz Norby (R-Cascade),
hut he doesn't think gas tax in
crease should ever be taken to the
people for final determination by
either initiative or referendum, be-
cause, says Norby, 'they don't know
enough" to vote intelligently on such
legislation! How do you like them
