Attempt Fails
To Cur Oil Tax
Fuv0rfism

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)--
Two senators tried vainly to cut the
tax subsidy that oil producers enjoy
March 27. During debate on extend
ing excise taxes, Senator John j. Will
liams (R-Del.) asked Congress to
reduce the oilmen's 27%o depletion
allowance to 20%o.
This special tax advantage goes on
year after year, without regard to
original investment" Williams said.
"Under this tax-free formula, oil pro-
ducers can recover their original cost
many, many times.
sit represents a tremendous tax-free
bonanza. The oil industry is not pay
ing it's share of the cost of our gov
eminent and maintaining our de-
fenses." His modest proposal would
mean 5000 million more year to
the treasury, Williams said.
When the Senate defeated Will
liams' amendment without a roll call
vote. Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.) pro-
posed a sliding scale depletion al
lowance that would give small pro-
ducers more favorable treatment. On
a voice vote, the Senate also killed
this proposal.
Oilmen claim this tax favoritism is
needed to get them to drill for oil.
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1957-04-05

men from II western states seeking
agreement on an excise tax reduction
bill in this Congress. The committee
made the freight tax, which brought
in $451 million last year, it's first
order of business. From this, the
group presumably will go on to the
1919 tax on travel.
Both these excise taxes were i'm
posed during World War II as tempo
rary taxes to discourage unnecessary
travel and freight Shipments" Met
calf said in explaining the bill.
"The two taxes bring in about $500
million year; and even with a $72
billion budget, that is lot of money.
The Administration is going to object
to cutting tax that brings in that
amount of money in year when the
balancing of the budget may depend
on about that amount of income. But
the fact that we need the revenue
is no reason for continuing a tax that
is on its face an unjust tax. When
something is bad it should CO."
Metcalf said the impact of the
freight tax is respectfully great" on
Montana, "where we are suffering
from high freight rates. The imposi-
ton of tax as a percentage of an
unjustly high freight bill results in
what amounts to another discrimina-
tary freight rate increase.
'"These taxes are injuring the econ
omy of our nation and are multiply
ing the inequities of our present sys-
tenn of freight and passenger rates."
Metcalf continued. "Both should be
repealed, even if it means replace
ment tax from some other more equit-
able source"

Anticipating Law TO
Protect Power Co-ops

ST. PAUL = (CNS) - Governor
Orville Freeman has asked the legis-
lature for a law to prevent private
utilities from raiding territories al
ready served by electric co-ops. Gre
cent experience" he said, shows the
law is needed.
The Idaho legislature recently
passed, and the Governor signed,
such proposal into law.

DR.. Karl K. Wade, University
of Wisconsin, recommended an
all-purpose spray of SIS per cent
zineb. "a tablespoon of kara
thane. 2 tablespoons of wetta-
BILE so per cent DOT or 3 table,
spoons of wettahle so per cent
methoxychlor and 2 table,
spoons Of wettable rs per cent
malathion or / teaspoon Of
LIQUID so per cent malathion.
He also recommended a dust
of b to Z per cent zineb, rs per
cent sulfur or / per cent
karathane and so per cent DOT
or methoxychlor. He said: ZAP
ply a 4 per cent malathion
spray separately to control in
sects. Generally. sprays are
more effective than dusts, but
in either case be sure to cover
all plant surfaces every Z to
10 days."

Milky Spore
Disease Best in
Beetle Control

In com ID atting japanese
beetles with milky spore dis
ease. it is generally advisable
to wait until late August OF
early September. The beetles
are out of the ground now and
while they deposit their eggs in
grassy areas in July and
August it is unlikely that there
is much to be gained by apply
ing the milky spore disease OF
chlordane before September.
Usually it is desirable to APP
ply these materials during a
cloudy, rainy period. Chlordane
gives temporary control of the
soil insects 6 to S years. while
the milky spore disease gives
a permanent control over the
japanese beetle grubs. How
ever, it takes several years
for the spores to be distributed
through the soil.

Care for Your Perennial Border
BY W. H. YoUNcMAN

should be done as early as pos
sible so that the plants will
have ample time to grow roots
and develop before cold weather
Summer watering is often
necessary for the perennial
border, especially If it is not
well mulched. During pro-
longed droughts the beds
should be soaked once every
week or 10 days to a depth of
8 or 8 inches. Daily watering
is neither necessary nor desir-
able.
Diseases and Insects
The last point in preparing
for next summers perennial
display is to spray or dust the
plants to protect them from
insects and diseases. Few
plants are immune. Most Of
them should be Kept covered
with a protective coating. ANY
Of the general all-purpose mix
lures will be effective in keep
ing the plants reasonably free
from such troubles.
If the beds are well mulched
they are not likely to need any
additional protection until the
ground is frozen (which may
not happen here) and then ad-
ditional materials may be
spread to keep it frozen. This
is to avoid the freezing and
thawing characteristic OF
Washington winters.
Pine boughs make excellent
cover in winter because they
allow air to circulate and dc
not hold moisture.
