and wrong examples to empha-
size that "due to- is incorrect
after or in referring to a verb.
Wrong: HE stumbled tverb)
due to a loose board" Right;
He stumbled because Of a loose
board. Right: His stumbling
lnounl was due to a loose board
Wrong: "She cried tverb) due
to her disappointment. " Right;
She cried because of her disap-
pointment. Right: Her crying
(noun) was due to her disap-
pointment.
Here Is an easy way to test
such sentences: For due to-
and because Of" substitute "at-
tributed to-" II it makes sense
due to-" Is correct.
Example: "IIe failed attrib-
uted TO his poor grades in Eng
lish." This doesn't make sense
Use because Of" instead Of "due
to-"
His failure was attributed tc
his poor grades In English.
This makes sense; use "due to-,
after the noun failure"

taste in the water, but the Billings
water treatment plant was able to re-
move this unpleasant odor and taste, !"
Brinck said.
None of the communities taking
their public drinking water from the
Yellowstone River are now experience
ing the unpleasant phenol taste and
odor in their drinking water. "But
the three oil refineries, two meat
packing plants, two sugar beet proc
essing plants, and rendering plant
and communities discharging sewage
into the Yellowstone River and its
tributaries along this 150-mile section
are low scrutinizing the discharge of
waste into the river" Brinck ex-
planned.
Because the waste discharged into
the river is very nearly constant
throughout the year, the low flow
of the stream and lowering of the
temperature of the water is thought
to be a contributing factor in the pol
luton and taste and odor noted in
drinking water.
'It takes but to parts phenol
per billion parts of water to give an
offensive odor and taste to drinking
water" Brinck pointed out.
Laboratory examinations of ap-
proximately go water samples taken
from the Yellowstone River during
December Brinck said, showed the
phenol content running very high at
some points"
At Forsyth, water samples taken
from the Yellowstone River at the
city water plant intake showed
phenol volume as high as 100 parts

Attention of the State Board of

taken from the river when Forsyth
citv officials asked the assistance OF

plant intake the content was found to
be as high as "a ppb.
Brinck said that while the high lev
ell of phenols is associated with the
taste and odor people were experienc-
ing in their drinking water, sthe
phenols in the water are not thought
to be responsible for all of the pollu-
ton of the river
Similar situations have been OBJ
served along the Yellowstone river in
previous years, usually between the
first of October and the first of
January.
u. S. Public Health Service engi-
neers report similar experiences in
other sections of the nation In most
cases the phenol pollution is associ-
ated with cold weather and the drop
in the temperature of the water.
"While many factors were involved
in this situation on the Yellowstone
River between Laurel and Miles City" !"
Brinck said, "our findings indicate
the Importance of petroleum proc
essing waste in contributing to the
taste and odor water-users expert
enced in December. A study of these
findings suggested ways of solving
this problem.
"The splendid cooperation of the
operators of industrial plants dis
charging waste into the river will
assist the state health department in
its efforts to prevent this situation
developing again.
''In fact" Brinck said, "the chief
chemist of one of the petroleum re-
fineries is to attend a special phenol-
determination course to be conducted
in Cincinnati Feb. 1918 by the U. S.
Public Health Service. This, in it
self, indicates the interest of industry
in preventing this situation develop
ing again"
The chemist of the Billings city
water plant and a chemist from the
State Board of Health staff will also
attend the phenol determination
course.

| call attention to the fact that these
projects will further unbalance our
budget and that if the Presidents
own program is passed the budget
he presented is completely unrealis-
tic.
Despite the fact that fiscal 1856
will be the third straight year of
deficit spending under this ad-
ministration, the President ex-
presses the hope that taxes can
be cut again.
They should be. If we could afford
to cut them last year with an unbal-
anced budget, we can afford to cut
them next year. hope, however,
that when we cut taxes again we do
fairer job than the administration
and its majority did in the 83rd
Congress.
Since good part of the tax
changes that went into effect last
year were already on the lawbooks,
this administration concentrated on
the bill that became Public Law SOL.
This revised our income tax laws. 1t
also meant tax savings of $1.4 bill
lion to selected groups of taxpayers
in the current fiscal year. Estimated
savings in future years ran higher
up to 81 billion-becaus the change
was effective for only part of this
year.
About one-fourth of these re-
ductions will go to individuals, the
rest to corporations. OF the one
fourth going to individuals, more
than one-third will go to the 40
of the people who receive income
from stock dividends.
For many years, our income tax
laws have provided for deductions
on earned income. In this law there
are deductions on un-earned income.
During debate which preceded pas
sage of Public Law SOL, it was moved
and | supported the motion-to
give every taxpayer a tax cut by IN
creasing the individual exemption,
instead of giving the big slice to cor
porations and their shareholders. Un-
fortunately this motion lost. | hope
that the tax cuts considered In this
Congress will include this provision.
The argument offered in support
of tax cuts for the few was that they
were needed to stimulate investment
in productive capacity. The PROPOSE
tion that this nation today is suffer
ing from a lack of capacity to turn
out goods and services is impossible

Dear folks back home, you who
have not had the opportunity to view
your representative in legislature
assembled. The writer has been doing
a bunion derby in the legislative halls
for the past several days. 1t is won
derful sight to behold. Only few
days ago party was discussing Leg
islature near me, and he remarked,
"I came over to view the legislature
in action; have not only viewed it,
| can smell it. And they call this
democracy in action; what mockery.
So much for the remarks of one on
his first visit.
Now, let us briefly acquaint with
legislative mechanics; the Senate
committee on committees, that is the
power behind the throne. That COM
mittee is committee composed of
three selected by those in political
power. 1t selects and appoints the
various Senate committees, being al
ways mindful that in each committee
there must be one or more leaders.
In the House, the Speaker chosen
by the majority party names the
committees.
Remember, when you were chill
dren you played many games, among
them one called follow the leader?
That game is still played in legislature
assembled.
On February 3, House Bill 181 was
placed in the legislative morgue;
killed by committee report. One Re
publican wrote, H. B. 181 if enacted,
would destroy fish and game admin
istration; I, one who signed his name
President of some unheard of state
conservation association said, 'It is
spite bill; kill it." So, came the
whispering bad news. A member of
the House fish and game committee
made motion, III, B. 181 do not
pass" The committee vote was
few ayes and no nays; follow the
leader" procedure. Recently a chair
man of his own committee got the
distinguished cross by members Of
that committee. To save his bill for
the present he had it transferred to
another committee. It will be to no
avail, the hounds have his scent; if
a committee says mo- the chances
are 100 to / You cannot get your
bill passed regardless of its merits.
