Legislators Asked to Back
Weight-MiIe, Oppose
Gas Tax Boost

GREAT FALLS-Members of
the Cascade county legislative dele
CATION are urged to use their in
fluence in preventing passage of
any legislation to increase the state
gasoline tax, according to letter
sent the legislators by Richard A.
Worstell, president, at the direc-
ton of the Cascade County Tax
payers League, Inc.
The league says an increase in
the gasoline tax would burden pas
senger car users and serve as ad-
verse advertising for tourist travel
to Montana. 1t is pointed out that
Montana spends a considerable
sum to promote tourist travel to
the state.
The league asks that the iegis-
lators support an act to place
weight-dis stance tax upon the truck
ing industry, which is said to be
the real source of deterioration of
highways.-GT. FALLS TRIBUNE

To Oppose Sales Tax

Immediately following publica-
ton of Rep. Walter Sales (R-Gal-
latin) statement in support of en-
actment of a state sales tax, this
office contacted Gov. j. Hugo
Aronson for comment. The Gov
ernor stated he had not seen the
press release therefore couldn't
comment on it directly. However,
he referred us to his message to
the legislature in which he said 81

Special Highway Committees
Pleased With Oregon Law

Stating Eve believe the weight
distance tax applied in Oregon
is an equitable means to recover
costs of highways from users in
proportion to cost responsibility"
the two special highway commit
tees which went to Oregon last
week recommended that Montana
adopt similar truck taxing system
'sonly after careful and proper
consideration and preparation"
Members of the two committees
were: For the House, Lloyd Michels,
Fred Barrett and Ralph Bricker; for
the Senate, Earl Moritz, Don Walton
and Charles Bovey.
The Montana committees had the
full cooperation Of Oregon officials
from Governor Paul Patterson on
down. These officials were all of
similar opinion that the weight-mile
tax, while very expensive to admins
ter, is the fairest and most equitable
truck taxing method thus far de-
vised. Administration costs approxi-
mately AZ per cent of total revenue
derived from the tax.
Contrary to some reports, they

certain indus tries of their rightful
obligation to compensate their
workmen if they become victims
of industrial disease.
The cost of industrial disease
is cost of doing business in that
industry, it is not just burden to
be thrown on the taxpayers of
Montana. The Montana taxpayer
has already subsidized one of it's
large corporations to the tune of
several million dollars in welfare
payments to silicotics.
my bill provides for the Depart
ment of Public Welfare to recover
payments to victims of industrial
disease from the responsible en-
ployer, in much the same way as
they are now recovering from rela-
tives of the needy, or by lien
against the aged or dependent per-
SON on relief who may happen to
own the roof over his head.
'This bill is intended to recover
as much as possible of the nearly
one million dollars that we appro-
pirate TO the Department of Public
Welfare each biennium for pay
ments to the victims of silicosis.'

JUVENILE LIQUOR VIOLATIONS POINT Up NEED
FOR IDENTIFICATION CARDS

Gowan of Chouteau. SB 81 proposes
Identification cards for barkeeps to
use whenever there is doubt as to
the age of young person.
whenever bartender believes
purchaser is under 21," MCGOWAN
explains, she will ask the purchaser
to fill out one of the cards"
Young purchasers would be re-
quired to submit at least two proofs
of age e.i.-social security card,
birth certificate, draft card, drivers
license, etc. The purchaser would
also have to sign his name, witnessed
by someone else in the tavern, to
a statement saying he knows he is
subject to fine or Imprisonment for
Misrepresentation
Bartenders would not have to use
the I'D cards. However, the cards
would constitute protection for re-
tail liquor establishments from the
danger of having their licenses sus-
pended or revoked since use of the
I'D cards would show that the opera
tor was making sincere attempt to
avoid sales to juveniles.
Sales of liquor to juveniles has been
widespread in spite of policing eff
forts. In calendar year 1864, 33
saloons had their licenses suspended
and the licenses of three others were
revoked. In the same period, one
grocery store license was suspended.
While it is conceded that the grocery
stores are considerably more careful
in the matter of selling beer to mi
nors, it is also fact that they are
less rigidly policed than are the liquor
with the result that
small percentage of violations by the
groceries are not caught up with.

TOURISTS Spent
S87 MILLION I'M
STATE IN 1854

Tourism, the third-ranking indus
try in Montana after agriculture anc
mining, is discussed in an article
IN the January MONTANA BUSI.
NESS, published by the Bureau OF
Business and Economic Research
Montana State University, which
points out the Importance of the
tourist industry to the state. Data in
cluded are taken from reports of
the Advertising Office, Montana
Highway Commission.
More than 8 million people visited
Montana in 1854 and spent an esti-
mated $87 million. The average tour
lst party during the summer of 1854
numbered three persons and spent
4.3 days in the state. This was about
day less than visitors were staying
in 1949 through 1851. The University
publication points out that extra eff
fort expended in publicizing local
attractions and keeping visitors in
the state longer should pay off hand
somely. For example, if every tourist
In Montana in 1854 had stayed one
additional day, average expenditure
per person would have been $3.50
instead of $28.63, and total tourist
expenditure would have approximat-
ed S107 million instead of $87 mil
lion.
Almost half of Montana's 1854
tourists came from Canada and the
states of Washington and California,
port of entry and U. S. Customs sta
tions during the summer months.
Canada accounted for 21 per cent of
all out-of-state cars, followed by
Washington (13 per cent? and Cali
fornia (12 per cent?. Five per cent
of cars from outside Montana were
licensed in Minnesota and four per
cent each in Idaho, Oregon, and
Illinois.
Glacier Park continues to be the |
tourist attraction in |
Montana. In 1854, more than 08,000 |
persons (including Montanans) Wis
tied the park. Yellowstone Park also
is major drawing card for tourists,
with more than 100000 visitors IN
1854, but its location is not so adj
as that of Glacier from
the standpoint of attracting visitors
to Montana.

CAUGHT I'M THEIR OWN

Major oil company spokesmen for
two years have been shedding croco-
die tears over the terrific loss Mon
tana schools have supposedly suffer
ed because of the controversy over
the now voided perpetual leasing act
of 1853.
Yet, at the same time, Board of
Equalization investigation indicates
that these same out-of-state con-
trolled oil companies have been keep
ing at least two sets of books in order
to avoid paying their correct amount
of corporation license tax.

able to repay to the Public Well
fare Department all outlays for

Leader Leroy Anderson, Wednes-

In introducing SB 63 Anderson
told his colleagues:
Last year we directed the De-

recipients of public assistance and
we made these relatives liable for
payment or recovery of such sums.

SOME MORE LONG-NEEDED
LEGISLATION
Again this session as in past legis-
latures an effort will be made to
enact water pollution control legis-
lation. SB SO by Harken, Hatch, Rob-
ms, Scofield and Ross, would set up
a water pollution control agency and
council, "to control, prevent and
abate pollution of the surface and
waters of the state -. :.
With increasing industrialization and
oil development, the need for having
adequate control legislation becomes
more obvious if the state is to pro-
tect the water supply for humans,
animals, irrigation, recreation, and
other uses. To protect the air we
breathe companion measure to con-
troll air pollution by industry should
also be given favorable legislative at
5ention.

Health would be the water pollution
control agency. The control council
would be composed of nine members:

pOSdlS.
From a standpoint of statewide
interest undoubtedly the most inn
portant measure introduced was
House Bill SO, the weight-mile
truck taxing bill by Reps. Wood,
Durkee, Gershmel and Beck. Close
ly patterned after the successful
Oregon weight-mile act, HB SO
would impose the same tax rates on
Montana trucks above the $4,000
gross vehicle weight level as are
now in operation in Oregon. Rep.
Wood, who in two sessions has re-
peatedly urged enactment of legis-
lation similar to the Oregon law,
contends the measure, if put onto
the statute books, will bring in at
least four million dollars addition
al highway revenue each year.
Sure to be the center of a major
controversy is HB 128, the occupa-
tional disease bill introduced by Reps.
Lee, Cumming, Siderius and Neon
Der. Occupational disease legislation
is nothing new in Montana legisla-
tive circles, however because of the
influence of major mining COM
panies, such proposals have never
been looked upon kindly by a major
ity of Montana legislators. Payments
to victims of Silicosis from Public
Welfare funds alone are running in
excess of 100000 each biennium.
