City Council Proceedings

Delinquent sales tax returns and water bills were discussed at the November 13 meeting of the City Council. Mayor Charles Wilson told Councilmembers that the sales tax ordinance must be enforced and that action against delinquent accounts will be started. Council members agreed with the Mayor who point ed out that sales tax returns are due the 10th of each month Be cause of possible irregularities in some returns a spot audit on city businesses has been propos- ed. The sales tax ordinance pro- vides for such examinations. Water users who are delinquent face the possibility of having their water turned off if their accounts are not brought up to date.

II So Good!
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE,
May II, 1856

ANACONDA, Mont, May 10
(AP)-Roy H. Glover, chairman of
the Anaconda Co. today told stock
holders at the annual meeting that
net income for three months ended
March 81 was $29, ,883,372, equal to
$3.45 a share compared with $14,-
203,218, or $1.64 a share in the first
quarter in 1855. The company's equi-
ty in undivided earnings of Ana
conda Wire & Cable Co. not consoli-
dated and not included in the net
income, was 81, ,420,343 in the first
quarter compared with $442,5 ,548 last
year, he said.
altogether, the investments we
have in mind for the next five years,
in plants and properties, exceed those
made during the past ten years; and
during this 15-year period these in
vestments will have exceeded the total
book value of all of the Anaconda
properties, including its subsidiaries,
at the end of World War H." Glover
said.
Anaconda expects, he said, to han
die this construction program out of
income from plant depreciation and
earnings and without resort to long
term financing.
GAS we visualize the situation at
the present time" he said, "the only
possible additional financing that
might be required would be short
term bank borrowings to carry lis
over one or two peak construction
periods during the next five years"

their candidate for Governor because
they believe he will be the best Gov
ernor in the Governors chair who
will stand idly by and watch future
raids upon the consuming public?
"Ask yourself why large segment
of the richest industry in the world,
the oil industry, is busy sending well
financed people all over Montana in
their desperate efforts to keep the
people from getting a Governor who
will represent the people.
'It is no secret that this combina-
ton of special interest groups will
try anything to control the outcome
of this election. Previously broken
promises have been remade, un-
limited financial resources have been
released and paid spokesmen have
been hired to travel all over Mon
tana to appear on countless TV and
radio shows in final last minute eff
fort to injure me. Their efforts will
fail and l have the greatest conf
dence that the good people of Mon
tana will see that they fail"
Following his Butte speech, Olsen
spoke to a Meet the Candidates
Night in Helena and said:
Every act to amend the Indus
trial Accident Workmen's Compen-
sation law, drawn in the past eight
years, was drawn by my office.
The principal reason why these
laws were not enacted by the legis-
lature is that we lacked Governor
with the courage and aggressiveness
to stand up for the working man."

Wreck Bill
Petitions In
Circulation

Although being done very quietly,
initiative petitions to place a so-called
"right-to-work' proposal on the No
vember ballot are now being circu-
lated in various parts of the state.
Purpose of the proposal is to out
law the union shop in Montana and to
make a shambles of responsible col
lective bargaining between manage
ment and labor.
Although proponents claim their
measure gives wage earners fright
towork", the fact is it makes no
guarantee of employment whatsoever.
Actually, the only thing it guarantees
Is the right to work for less wages.
Experience gained in the several
states which have been hood
winked into enacting similar union
wrecking laws, is that the average
per capita income of each states
citizens falls far behind states
which do not have enforced "open
shop" laws on the books.
Annual per capita income ranges
from 5000 to 5000 lower in "open
shop" states as compared with Mon
tana's $1,700 per capita annual in
come.
Although some few employers prof
it by forcing wages down, "open
shop" wage conditions invariably re-
suit in retail business being less pros
porous because of the decreasing pur-
chasing power of the work force.
Nationally, this type of legislation
is sponsored primarily by the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers,
the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, and
other major industrial-financial asso-
Citations. In Montana the employer
front organization is called Montana
Right To Work Association with
Larry Bowler, Scobey newspaperman,
acting as secretary. Daniels county,
in which Scobey is located, probably
doesn't have a half dozen active trade
in it's entire population.
