POWER LOBBY
ADDS FUNDS

The National Association of Elec-
trio Companies, which for the past
two years has led all lobbies in spend
ing money to influence congressional
legislation, has evidently increased its
membership dues 17ao in preparation
for an about effort during the next
year.
NAEC, in previous years, collected
almost all full membership fees for
the full calendar year during the first
quarter. In the first quarter of 1854
commercial power companies con-
tributed 39,211.53, as compared to
1869, 236.07 contributed during the
first quarter of 1868.
However, second quarter contribu
tons in 1854 totaled an additional
70,541.36, which is unusual. Previ-
ously, the only additional contribu
lions received after the first quarter
were those of new members, or those
who were dragging behind in for
warding their membership dues, but
this year almost every company con-
an additional ITO during
the second quarter.
Total contributions during calendar
year 1858 amounted to $449, 403.05,
whereas contributions during the
first two quarters of 1854 totaled
$500, 1926.

The PiIe-Up of Work In
The Supreme Court

Judges may be overworked like
other men. My work in the Supreme
Court goes back 81 years. The mortality
rate of the members of the Court has
been high, due to strain.
With conscientious Judges, the sense
of duty is a hard master. Supreme Court
Justices work harder than other mem
bers of the Bar.
Yet the Court as to ordinary appeals
is almost two years behind. The Legis-
lature can help this situation. Undue
delay in other Supreme Courts has
often arisen. Various methods have
been applied to remedy it. Seventy
years ago the nine Circuit Courts of
Appeal were organized to relieve the
U. S. Supreme Court.
Similarly, California and New York
organized intermediary courts of ap-
peal whose decisions are final, unless
the High Court consents to review.
Texas has two Supreme Courts-one
for civil, one for criminal appeals. Mon
tana cannot adopt any similar plan
without amending the Constitution.
In former years, three commissioners
would be appointed to hear many APP
peals and present decisions to the Court
in banc. This plan was generally re-
garded as worse than a failure.
In many states, each Judge of the
High Court is given a law clerk, paid
by the State. This is cheap and simple
aid.
The Legislature defines what inter
medary orders are appealable; all
others are renewable only on the one
appeal from the final judgment in the
case The Statutes about what mesne
orders are directly appealable sorely
need revising.
OF these, there should be cut out
(among others), appeals dissolving or
refusing to dissolve attachments, (since
the Federal Bankruptcy law attach
ments are rare) appeals from orders
or refusing to appoint re-
ceivers, or giving directions about
receivership; (these were enacted to
enable the Amalgamated Copper Com
pany to bat Heinze, and accomplished
their purpose); appeals from orders
changing, refusing to change the
place of trial; there is no reason for
those appeals in civil cases. Very few
states permit such appeals. Their pur-
pose is to enable the railroads and
other corporations to unduly delay
any and all litigation against them
selves. Some times some scamp aban-
Ions his wife and children, goes to
another county to live. Now the wife
must sue in his new county to make
lim support his children.
All laws extending the right of APP
zeal to preliminary orders are to en-
Lble wealthy defendants to delay
tumble litigants. They prevent the
supreme Court from closing appeals
PERMIT wasting the Courts time on
substantial questions, and
mere methods of ractice.--LOWNDES

What Is Full Cash Value"

Chairman Jack F. Reid of the State
Board of Equalization stated recently
that property in Montana is assessed
at only half it's value, and implied that
just about everybody is lodging a lot
of his income tax. Now of course it is
obvious that if our property valuation
was doubled, our taxes would be
doubled also. l imagine that most
people are like myself and to double
my taxes would just about ruin me
financially.
Such a procedure would start all
over again the vicious cycle we had
during the sos when the Counties were
taking tax title to a substantial amount
of all real estate, and personal property
taxes never have been collected to this
day. The only way to keep taxes under
control is to keep valuations under
control. Public officials will always
spend all they can lay their hands on.
1 guess we all do.
Mr.. Reid, to the contrary notwith-
standing, 1 contend that property is al
ready assessed at double it's statutory
full cash value. 1t must be remem
bered that price and value are two
different things. Value" is more or
less stable and stationary but price"
can vary from day to day Many people |
think that full cash value" is the
highest possible price, but it is just |
the reverse that is true.
The Montana statutes provide that |
'alI property shall be assessed at it's
,ull cash value, and then defines full
cash value substantially as follows:
1t is that amount at which a creditor
would accept the property in payment
If just debt from a solvent debtor.
That can only be interpreted to mean
hat if you went to your grocer or
your banker and said, Here 1 owe you
ome money. | am solvent and [ have
he money in my pocket to pay you
Iwever, there is my property over
here and you can have that instead
# the money if you wish. If he says,
I will take the property" then that
$ it's full cash value. Another neat

SB B MAY CAUSE OUTCRY
IN CUT BANK

SB 8 by Senator George McCabe
and 10 other senators, may have
greater repercussions than a measure
of its type usually engenders. SB 8
relates to the validating of cemetery
warrants and proposes the amending
of Section 9-209 (Rev. Codes, 1947)
to remove liability against cemetery
district for expenditures made, liza
bilities incurred, or warrants issued
by or in behalf of any cemetery dis
trict in excess of the annual budget"
of the district. Reports reaching this
office indicate there is red hot con-
troversy raging in Glacier county over
the legality of a reported $4,000 in
warrants issued by that county's
cemetery district in excess Of the dis
trict's budget.

Would Have Assessors
Appointed
Iannarv 19hI

Democratic Policy Committee,
House of Representatives,
Helena, Montana.
Hello:
Like you, have long been aware of
the inequalities existing in and between
our various Counties in County Assess
ment practices. These inequalities have
lately been brought to the attention of
the public by actions of the Board of
Equalization, and the State of the State
talk of the Governor.
Because Assessors are human beings
dealing with human beings, and not
because of any mate dishonesty, very
much question if ever a truely equal
method of assessing can be obtained
under our present system of electing
County Assessors.
Therefore, I'd like to suggest that
your Committee give more than passing
thought toward introducing a measure
at this session of the Legislature of
doing away with County Assessors and
in lieu thereof, electing a State AS
SCISSOR with power to appoint and move
about, Deputy Assessors. He would have
to have offices in the various Counties,
but assessment practices would come
from the State Office.
In my opinion, the Deputies should
be under a Merit or Civil Service sys-
tenn, and with salaries befitting the
il1ly Oh the service rendered. 10
start with, 1 would give the deputy
ships to presently qualified assessors
that is, those already holding the jobs
of County Assessors - but eventually
as these retire-fill the vacated post
tons by a merit-type of examination.
The details of such measure would
have to be carefully worked out, and
no doubt many constructive ideas can
be had from the various members of
the legislature as to procedure.
Probably no completely fair method
of assessment can ever be found, but
do strongly feel that the present
system is not doing the job we would
al like done as good citizens; so I
offer the above only as a suggestion |
and not as a complete cure-all. Sincere |
y yours-WILLARD e. FRASER, Bill |

Anderson (D-Pondera) urges the
Congress to reject the proposal by
U. S. Secretary of Agriculture to the
Presidents subcommittee on Inter-
governmental Relations, to dismantle
the Soil Conservation Service and
turn its functions and operational
costs over to the states. Soil conser-
vationists, recalling how little atten-
ton the states paid to conservation
of this important national resource
soil--before the federal government
entered the picture about twenty
years ago, fear the states will fall
far short of doing the conserva-
tion job needed to feed America in
the future, if the cost of the pro-
gram is made sole responsibility of
each state.

ALL GAUL-AND FLATHEAD
TOO?
There's a fella down here in Hell
ena tells me that soon there is going
to be a move in Flathead county to
divide the county in two parts.
The division would be a sort of Sc
cession movement the way I get it.
The new county might be called
White Falls, because it would include
Whitefish and Columbia Falls. The
area embracing these two towns would
remove themselves from Flathead at
the northern city limits boundry of
Kalispell.
The secessionists upon questioning
admitted that all railroad property
going through Flathead would re-
main in seceeding territory.
When will the movement begin?
Well SEE the mad halter who told me
when Columbia Falls gets the popu-
lation to swing the deal.
Why the bitterness to the point of
secession? A fierce "areaism" based
on the principle of "cities rights" in
two up and coming towns who feel
that they have been treated as step
children long enough.
