Sub. SB SO
SOLID Step
TOWARD CONTROL
OF POLLUTION

Although watered down to quite
some extent in order to meet objee-
tons raised by various representa-
tiyes of industry, Sub. SB so, in the
judgment of those close to the prob
lem, is solid step toward pollution
control in Montana.
Under Sub. SD SO a State Water
Pollution Council would be created
and would consist of seven members.
Three members of the council would
be: The Executive Officer of the
Board of Health, the State Fish and
Game Warden and the State Engi-
neer. The other four members would
be appointed by the Governor and
would include two representatives of
industry, one of agriculture and one
of municipal government.
The council would be authorized
to make studies of all causes of pollu-
ton detrimental to public health, or
the health of animals, fish or aquatic
life; industrial development, or "det-
rimental to the practical use of waters
for recreational purposes, agricul-
ture or industrial purposes, or OBJ
noxious, nauseous or toxic for domes-
tic purposes So"
After such studies were completed
on a stream or water supply, the coun-
Gil would be empowered ito develop
and adopt comprehensive program
for the prevention, control and abate-
ment of pollution of the waters of
the State and from time to time re-
view and modify such program )"
Rules and regulations of the Pollu-
ton Control Council would be adj
and enforced by the State
Board of Health.

To Decide, Land Board States

| to interfere in an action which is
already moot, at the instance of a
party who is only nominal plaintiff
and who did not even enter the action
until well after it had been begun
by someone else. The Court is being
asked to step in and rescue, at the
last extremity, a land grab that
failed"
The Land Board brief also disputes
the contention made in the petition
for certiorari, that the Supreme Court
of North Dakota has reached con-
clusion opposite to the Montana
Court.
'3The decision could not possibly
be in conflict with the holding Of
the Montana Supreme Court and the
most cursory reading of the case
will show it," the brief stated.
In referring to the separate brief
filed by the Governor, the Land
Board said, eve wish it to be clear
to this Court that the Governor,
in this instance, speaks neither for
the Board nor for the State, and his
desires are not those of the State
Board of Land Commissioners"
''The state law which is involved
in this proceeding has had long and
stormy history in Montana the brief
stated. "Some aspect of it has been
considered at every legislative SEES
sion for approximately forty years.
Most legislative sessions have refused |
% entertain it. Twice before, when
passed by both houses of the legisla-
ure, it was vetoed by a Governor.

COL URfBIA BASIN COMMISSION COULD
ORDER RAISING OF FLATHEAD LAKE

Had Montana passed SB So,
compact with other northwest
states for control of Columbia
basin resource development, the
Compact commission, if it so de-
sired, could give the go-ahead to
raising the level of Flathead Lake
by eight feet and there would be
nothing the people of the Flathead
could do about it is the opinion of
Rep. George Siderius (D-Flathead).
Although as of presstime the
compact bill, SB SO by Wallace (R-
Lake, and Larson (R-Sanders) is
apparently dead, the point raised
by Siderius is most important one
to remember. Flathead people well
recall the fight they had to put up
more than decade ago to forestall
the Army Engineers, when that
government agency approved rails
ing the lake level by eight feet. Had
the Army Engineers been success
full the subsequent higher lake level

The State Board of Land Commits
sioners has received word that it,
brief has been filed with the United
States Supreme Court, Attorney Gen.
eral Arnold Olsen announced Wednes.
day.
The brief, prepared by Attorney
| General Olsen, opposes any action
in the case by the United States Su-
preme Court.
"There is a certain irony in the
fact that the power of the United
States, which set up the original grant
with strict instructions for its preser-
walton, is now being invoked in an
attempt to tell the State of Montana
that it has guarded its land grant too
well, and that it must now relax its
safeguards so the school lands can
be made a source of private profit"
the brief said.
The Land Board argues that the
lawsuit heard and decided by the
Montana Supreme Court is no long
er in existence, and there is nothing
Tor lnG onitCd OIdIGS SOuTE 0G-
eide. They point out that the land
in controversy has either been with
drawn from sale or sold some time
ago, and the United States Supreme
Court has always refused to enter
tain actions where the decision
could not affect the parties before
the Court.
The brief also points out that the
Act of Congress which changed the
Montana Enabling Act was not eff
fective in this state until accepted
oy the state.
''It is the Montana legislation, and |
lot the Federal Act which must be
ooked to in determining what the
Act means in the State of

"The majority of the State Board

sales TAX talk
dies A'D0RNING

Efforts the past week by certain
powerful forces to seek House APP
proval of referendum on a genera
sales tax came to naught Wednesday
of this week because of the stubborn
refusal by House Rules Committee
Chairman Gene Mahoney (D-Sand-
ers) and his fellow committee mem
bers to permit suspension of the
rules.
The sales tax notion bloomed brief
ly following considerable discussion
of proposal to bond the state to the
extent of $1O,000,O00 for the pur-
pose of making repairs and additions
to the Greater University system. To
finance the bond issue corporation
lobbyists pumped hard for a sales
tax referendum being tied on to the
proposed legislation, as substitute
for a 1.5 mill levy originally proposed
as a means of financing the bond
issue.
An effort was made by Rep. Chat
fin (R-Gallatin) to bring the pro-
posed bond issue out on the floor via
unanimous consent. To this several
representatives including Rep. Felt
(R-Yellowstone) objected. Felt told
the House that he did not favor any
hasty action which precluded an OPP
portunity to give the measure more
than cursory consideration.
Failing in the attempt to secure
unanimous consent in order to have
the bill introduced at that late date
in the session it would have been
necessary to have secured suspen-
sion of the rules governing introduce
ton of bills. This Mahoney and his
committee refused to do because
sales tax forces had already indi-
Gated they would attempt to substi-
tute such a tax for the proposed 1.5
mill levy to finance the referendum
measure.
Thus, for at least two more years,
Montana citizens will not be burdened
with a general sales tax on every
thing they buy.

School Foundation Program
CONFERENCE GROUP
wipes OUT PART
OF SENATE CUT

HB 82-the school foundation bill
AS a result of third Senate House
conference committee finally reaching
agreement late Thursday, has brought
an increase of approximately $1,40O,-
600 in the budgeting authority of the
public schools. In the biennium ahead,
the foundation program each year
will amount to about $26,780,000, as
compared with less than 1854 million
each year for the past biennium.
HB 80, as it emerged from the
House, called for an increase in the
program of about one and three
fourths of million. So, the compro-
mise reached by the final conference
committee amounts to splitting the
difference between what the House
and the Senate desired.
Percentage-wise, the budgeting
power of the schools is increased by
81 per cent over the past biennium.
In House circles, Rep. Gene Picot-
tie (D-Lewis and Clark and member
of the first two conference commit
tees, is being given considerable cred
it for his steadfastly insisting that
the House version of HB 80 be adopt
ed. Picotte's determination is credit
ed with having been an important
factor in persuading the heavily-Re-
publican Senate into accepting the
much higher figure reached in the
bird conference than the Senate was
wiling to concede last week when the
oill was before that body.
Members of the final conference
committee which finally brought an
md to the deadlock, were: HOUSE,
Reps. Reider (D-Jefferson), Barrett
'D-Liberty) and Reed (R-Missoula)
Working (R-Park), Moritz
R-Fergus) and James (D-Liberty).

The third important issue, ac-
ming, is decency in government and
decency in politics.
Speaking on the number one issue
in detail, Erickson said that Wilson,
Roosevelt and Truman had made the
Democratic party adopt the philoso-
ply that its primary concern is for
the welfare of all the people" in con-
trast with the Republican party being
devoted to serving those who are
privileged"
In substantiation, he cited example
after example of programs now be-
ing sponsored by Eisenhower Repub-
licans which contain ginmicks to
further enhance special privilege
groups in the nation. Among these,
he called attention to the proposed
multi-billion dollar highway program
which would be financed by sale of
bonds, and which, over the period of
80 years planned for repayment of
the bonds, would cost the American
lars in interest. That eleven billions,
he emphasized, is the "giinmick" in
likes highway program.
Another program with "gimmick"
in it, he asserted, is likes health in
surance proposal. This program isn't
one to bring broader or more reason
able, or more adequate coverage,
Erickson said. Rather, it is simply
program to reinsure insurance COM
panies against losses.
A third example is the so-called
partnership" in power develop
ment wherein the gimmick comes by
the Administration advocating that
the primary structure of multiple
purpose project should be built
with government fueds while the
power development (profit-malx-
ing) feature of such projects should
be turned over to private power
monopolies.
