Utility Rate Increases Finally
Arqued Before Supreme Court

the case had no business in the courts
because they (the courts) had no pow
er to determine how rates should be
arrived at. They contend that is the
province of the legislature.
Leaphart said the companies had not
supplied evidence of their revenue re-
quirements to the RR&PS Commission.
and the Commission made no investiga-
ton as to the accuracies of any state
ments made by the Company in their
presentation for the increase. He said,
"They did not check anything
Olsen pointed out the many differ
ent values the company's gas division
presented for different purposes. He
pointed out that MPCo. valued 52b
of the gas division serving the general
customer at SO million dollars-and for
stockholders, placed the entire plant at
book value of 80 million dollars and
the tax figure they presented to the
board of equalization was 16 million
dollars. He said these figures are so
far apart it is impossible to base any
rate upon them.-GGB.

In Report To Legislature
HighwuyUseTux Proposed
By Fuct-Finding Group

Enactment of Highway Use Tax
and establishment of a separate De-
partment of Motor Vehicles are the
two most important of 25 recommends
tions presented to the 35th Legislature
in the report of the Fact Finding Com
mittee on Highways, Streets and
Bridges.
The committee, established under
Chapter SO of Laws of Montana, 1865,
has, under Executive Director William
Hall, made an 18-month long study Of
Montana's highway financing and engi-
neering problems, in accordance with
the mandate OF the 34th Legislative
Assembly. Hail. an expert on highway
financial studies, is ION loan" to the
state of Mantana from the Portland,
Oregon office of the Bureau of Public
Roads. Chairman of the committee is
George B. SchOtte, Butte.
In prefacing its recommendations,
the committee reported to the Legisla-
ture that it placed a first priority" on
highway needs of the state in order to
determine the total highway prob
lem" facing Montana. In addition to
this engineering study, it was also
necessary that "a study Of highway
finance" be made.
AS a result of the work carried on
by the committee, its executive direc-
tor and assisting research personnel,
twenty five recommendations have
been submitted for legislative consid-
GRAFTON.
Most important of these, as noted
above. is the proposed use tax whereby
trucks would pay their cost RESPONSE
bility share of highway financing in a
manner similar to the highly success
full and equitable method employed in
Oregon for distribution Of highway fl
nancing costs according to highway
use.
The companion recommendation Of
almost equal Importance to the High
way Use Tax is the proposed motor
vehicle department to coordinate all
phases of the licensing, control and
taxation OF the motor vehicle" At pres
ent, these functions are assigned to
several departments and permit neith-
er the control nor efficiency of admin

hart's status for the people of Mon
tana was the same in this case as in
the gas case, as was Arnold Olsen's.
High praise should go to Leaphart,
who argued both cases in one day
against the best attorneys of the Power
Company and the Telephone Company,
while the corporations entrouge of
experts" were lined against the wall
behind him.
All parties involved agreed on the
fact the monopolies were entitled to
fair return" from their rates.
The point of argument was on the
method by which the fair return"
should be reached.
The Montana Power Company ar
gued reproduction cost new less de-
probation, should be the value on
which the consumer should pay rates,
and they took the offensive by declar-
ing the increase rather than being too
high was not high enough.
The same offensive was taken by
the Telephone Company.

AS the thermometer catapulted down
and thermostats were turned up in
Montana homes, bringing larger heat
ing bills, the state supreme court was
hearing the Montana Power Company
gas rate increase case brought over
three years ago by the then-attorney
general Arnold Olsen.
Special assistant to the attorney gen
eral C. w. (BilD Leaphart, Jr., argued
the case for the people of Montana.

Montana from the time of the original
request by the Montana Power before

Occupatonal Disease Legislation
Average Employer Would Pay
$I9 A Yeur For Coverage

| ing Silicosis and other occupational
diseases under workmen's compensa-
tion and a member of the Industrial
Accident Board, made his statement
following completion of an exhaustive
study of occupational disease compen-
sation costs in other states.
"The cost to cover all occupational
diseases is not nearly as high as most
people think" Sullivan points out "In
Illinois, with complete coverage, occu-
pational disease payments are about
two per cent of the total payments
under the workmen's compensation
act
"In Wisconsin, with all occupational
diseases covered and one of the most
liberal benefit rates, we find that pay
ments for occupational diseases are
about three and one-half per cent of
the total amount paid out under work
mems compensation.
Pennsylvania, the largest mining
state" Sullivan continued, finds occu-
pational disease payments amounting
to about eight and one-half per cent.
THE last fiscal year in Montana, the
workmen's compensation act paid out
about five million dollars. If we as
sumo about five per cent pay-out rate
in Montana for occupational diseases,
then the cost to the employers of Mon
tana will be about $250,000 a year.
"If this cost were divided equally
among Montana's $4,000 employers, the
cost would be only about nineteen dol
lars per employer per year. However"
Sullivan emphasized, actually because
Silicosis will be the major occupational
disease the Anaconda Company will
pay most of the increased cost if occu-
pationaI diseases are completely COW
ered."

Construction Boom
Promotes Growth OF

The tremendous boom in home con-

suited in a correspOndingly rapid
growth in home financing institutions,

Twenty local building and loan as
sociations operate in Montana plus one
large branch of an out-Of-state associa-

Total assets of the 20 local assOcia-

go 1856, compared to 500 million on

Olsen, who lost his bid for the gov
elnorship ON November 6, served two
terms in the attorney generals office.
He carried victorious battle against
organized gambling in his first term.
In his second term he took cases to
the state supreme court on what he
termed Excessive" rate increases in
gas and telephone rates, and against
oil legislation that took the bargaining
power away from the State of Mon
tana in leasing state oil land.
The rate increase and the oil leasing
cases, while in the Supreme Court for
upwards of a year were not set for
hearing until after Olsen left the At

were set to be heard three days after
he left office and the oil case ON the

Democrats, having run on a plat
form which for the most part was
quite explicit, now find themselves
faced with enacting the planks of that
platform into law. Theirs is the great
responsibility in 1857. To discharge
that responsibility will call for min

members of the majority party. They
