as improve other parts of the law are
already introduced, and there's more
coming. Indications are three or more
bills will be put in to bring occupa-
tiOnal diseases under the act. Likewise,
various proposals on medical, length
of time payments are to be made, and
amount of benefits, are in the mill.
Labor groups, generally, want the
ceiling taken off medical-hOspital in
order to protect the occasional dis
abled worker whose cost of recovering
modicum of health runs into the
thousands of dollars.
Labor, too, faVors the elimination of
maximum dollar amounts on weekly
benefits, and is asking that compen-
satiOn be based on percentages of i'll
come only. Labor is also in favor OF
eliminating the maximum weeks pro-
vision a disabled is eligible to receive
compensation, pointing out that, if he
lives over the maximum allowable peri
cd, he most likely becomes an added
Public Welfare expense.
AS of this writing Thursday, it
appears very definitely that few if any
of the compensation measures will
come out of committees as originally
drawn. The odds are the WOrkmen'S
compensation committees will take
parts from the various bills introduced
and redraft them into committee bills.

35th legislature Getting Down To
Bush Tss: Many Bills Introduced

ment would provide a course of 1nstruc-
ton in the safe handling of firearms.
BANKERS ASK TAX RELIEF
Senate Bill Is by the Senate Com
mittee on Banks and Banking may be-
come the center of considerable con-
troversy in legislative circles. The
bankers claim they need to have down
ward tax revision from 80 per cent
class to "seven per centum on that
portion of the true and full value rep
resented by surplus as shown ON the
books of the bank; provided that on
that portion of any of such surplus
which is over and above the amount
represented by the stated capital of
bank, the excess shall be subject to
thirty per centum of true and full
value :"
If they can secure this downward
revision, the bankers claim it will en-
and thus be in a better position to
more adequately service the credit
needs of their trade areas. They furth-
er contend that the lowered tax rate
would, before long, result in more
taxes being paid because banks the
state over would greatly increase their
capital, and lending to increase in
dustrial activity would help broaden
the tax bases of the various counties.

Another Republican
Appointee May Face
Court Battle

Wednesday afternoon word spread
like wild fire around the legislative
halls that the Governor had appointed
Dry Armstrong, Kalispell, to the Rail
road and Public Service Commission
to fill the vacancy left by the death of
Lou Boedecker, who was elected on
November 6, and died before assuming
office.
The announcement of the appoint
ment was followed Immediately by
word that Leonard Young, incumbent
Republican defeated by Boedecker,
wasn't moving out without a struggle.
Young, in Spokane, was not available
for comment, but reliable sources re-
ported he had, Immediately following
the death of Boedecker, sought legal
counsel, and was informed he had
grounds for making a court fight, if
someone else was appointed to the
post.
Since Boedecker's death, Young has
continued to perform the duties of the
office and at the time of the announce
ment of the Armstrong appointment
was in Spokane on Railroad and Pub
lie Service Commission business.
Democrats, who defeated Mr.. Arm
strong for legislature in Flathead
county, were shocked by his appoint
ment to the Commission and rumors
floated around the lobby of the House
of Representatives here that they were
going to revive bill presented at the
last session, and defeated, to elimi-
nate the Railroad and Public Service
Commission.

Workmen's Comp. Act
Overhaul Souqht

By the time this appears in print
there may be more than dozen bills
in the hopper aimed at improving and
broadening the workmen's compensa-
tion act
Montana's 1915 model workmen's s
compensation act has four major short
comings which labor people have been
trying to have remedied for many
years. These shortcomings are:
1. Coverage too limited: Montana,
like 46 other states, has no provision
under the comp. act for benefits to
workers who. contract industrial di-
seases such as Silicosis in their en-
plOyment In all other states, the rea-
sonable premium cost of disease in
surance is paid for by industry and is
considered a cost of doing business
just the same as equipment which
wears out and and must replaced.
2. Inadequate weekly benefits: The
maximum compensation disabled
single man can receive is so per cent
of his wages or $26.50 a week-which-
ever is lower The maximum comp
married man with five dependents is
eligible to receive is 6625 per cent of
his wages or $3.50 a week, whichever
amount is lower.
8. Too few weeks of compensation:
Under Montana law, a permanently
disabled worker can receive benefits
for a maximum of 500 weeks a tempo
rarily permanent disabled worker,
maximum of 300 weeks. Over half Of
the states now provide that compensa-
ton payments shall continue for as
long as a workman is disabled. In
Montana, after the maximum number
of weeks runs out in most instances
the permanently disabled worker and
his family have to seek assistance from
Public Welfare in order to live.
4. insufficient medcal-hospital bene-
fits: Presently, the most medical-hos-
pital benefits disabled worker can
receive, except in extreme cases, is
$4,000. In a few instances, the board
can add another $1,000 of such bene-
fits. Disabilities necessitating more
than present Montana limits, total only
two TO three cases each year in Mon
tana, yet, in those few instances, the
arbitrary limit wreak great financial
hardship on a disabled man and his
family (and sooner or later on Public
Welfare).

tana to achieve continuing high level
of business prosperity, provide good
jobs for it's people, and substantially
broaden it's tax bose, the fullest pos
sible development of our hydroelectric
power resources is mandatory.
AS a result, memorials urging Con-
gress to hasten construction of three
major power developments-Par
Yellowtail and Libby-are now in the
hopper.
Paradise, (HJM y as noted last
week, when completed, will develop
1,007 900 kilowatts of firm power at
the dam and firm up production up
thousands of additional kilowatts pro-
duced at downstream plants on the
Columbia. In addition, it will be an
important lower-C Columbia flood deter
rent by impounding more than four
million acre feet of usable storage.
YeIIowtail (HJM ~ introduced by
Felt and others, once in operation will
provide 100000 kilowatts of firm power
to hasten industrial development in
the Midland Empire area. In addition,
it will provide 163,920,000 kilowatt
hours of non-firm power annually and
will store water for bringing irriga-
ton to $4,000 acres. The low-cost pow
er would also make it possible to oper-
ate irrigation pumping plants and take
water to an additional 2,225,000 acres
of land.

Court Asked To
Outlaw Ceiling
On Oil Royalties

Attorney General Forrest H. Ander-
son, continuing a court action in which
his predecessor, Arnold Olsen, played
an important role, Wednesday asked
the state supreme court to outlaw the
12H9o royalty ceiling on oil and natu-
raj gas recovered from state school
lands
The royalty ceiling was set by the
1851 Legislature. AT leasing in 1855
the State Land Board, backed up by
an opinion by the Attorney General
that the ceiling prohibited the state
securing full market value, put up
four tracts of state land near proven
acreage at minimum royalty of 16 25
per cent.
The authority of the board to set
a higher royalty than 12I5 per cent
was questioned in a suit brought by
one Hardie N. Strandberg. In the lower
court a judgement against the land
boards action was handed down. The
board took the matter to the supreme
court, appealing on grounds that the
1851 act is unconstitutional and should
therefore be nullified.
In presenting the boards appeal at
the hearing Wednesday, Anderson con-
tended the 1851 act is unconstitutional
and in violation of the federal enabling
act, which requires the land board to
obtain full markte value for its leases.

BILLINGS-The nations electricity
needs are growing six times as fast
as population Gus Norwood, executive
secretary of the Northwest Public Pow
er Association, told the closing session
of the Midland Empire Farmer-Labor
Institute at Billings.
"Our nation is just entering the
energy revolution in which oil, coal,
natural gas and even water power
will ultimately be secondary to elec-
trcity generated from atomic
sources.
Five tests or criteria should be
considered by our leaders to insure
that the electric power of the future
will be operated in the best pubic in
terest and not as a tool for profits and
political control. These tests are that
the new power must be abundant so
as to be ahead of needs at all times,
(2) low in cost, 90 encourage indus
trialiZation for new jobs, (4) be con-
sistent with and encourage comprehen-
sive utilization of natural resources,
and (5) be consumer minded. The only
legitimate reason for a power system
is to serve the consumer at the lowest
possible cost"
MONTANA STAKE
In the present session of Congress,
Montana has a double opportunity to
increase its power supply by getting
started with Yellowtail Dam and Para
disc Dam, Norwood stated. OF the sew
en- million kilowatt potential in Mon
tana rivers only II per cent has been
harnessed leaving the remaining $3.50 |
to run wastefully down to the sea and
cause floods in the downstream states.
'Yellowtail Dam is the finest power
and irrigation project in eastern Mon |
tana The planning is done. Congress !
should get the tunnel work started this |
year"
Norwood, who had just returned
from Washington, d. c., praised the
Montana delegation, Senators Murray
and Mansfield and Representatives
Metcalf and Anderson, as the finest
and resource develop
nent delegation in the entire Congress.
"Montana's greatest future water
power source is Paradise Dam with
an ultimate 100000 kilowatt install
lation. A hopeful sign is the decision
of the Corps of Engineers announced
December goth to consider includ-
ing Paradise Dam in the new 308
plan for comprehensive develop
ment of the Columbia River and
tributaries. All the Army needs is
positive public support. The project
meets all the engineering and eco

THAT THE HOUSEWIFE
MAY KNOW

House Bill 33 by Meagher, Gray,
Holtz, Anderson (Cascade), Morrison
and Conklin, may cause a lot of dough
to be thrown around by the baking in
dustry. The Meagher bill, if enacted,
would compel bakers to place on their
products: a. the exact weight, b. the
moisture content, a list of all ingredi-
ents in percentage points based on 100
per cent of the flour used, and, d. a
list of any substitute ingredients in
percentage points based on 100 per
cent of the flour used. Regarding point
"b", there is a crack making the rounds
in Great Falls that the reason there
is so much less water in the Missouri
after it passes through the city than
before it enters is because of the ex-
tremely high moisture content of
"store--bought" bread

In addition, many other pieces CT
legislation of less general Importance
and measures dealing with specific
matters have been introduced. These
include proposals to increase salaries
Of various public officials, shorten the
work week of public officials, en-
ployes, ETC.; higher qualifications for
elementary teachers; increasing the
bonding limit on Indebtedness incurred
for school purposes; measure to tax
cigarette vending machines; three
measures proposing revision of live
stock inspection laws to facilitate the
moving of such animals from one
county to another; another to cause
fish and game department to reim-
burse counties for costs incurred in
investigation and prosecution of game
law violations; authorizing of special
non resident antelope and deer license

posed in another measure. Still another

"DOUBLE FALLACY"

In response to questions from the
floor, Norwood stated that the so-called
partnership scheme whereby a private
corporation would build the Yellowtail
Dam powerhouse might kill the entire
project Partnership contains a double
fallacy First the government loses out
because the revenues are less, and sec
ondly the consumer loses because the
power cost must include not only all
the usual costs but also the six per
cent rate of return on the entire in
vestment for the stockholders plus the
federal corporate profits taxes on such
dividends. This would make power
cost so high as to freeze out the kind
of new industry that Hungry Horse
Dam brought into Montana.
