THE DOMINANT POWER

power possessed by Pan American

nance of overseas and international

power in its operations, present i'm

The committee warns that it is watch

will be.
The report also points out that the
airlines frequently charge passengers
first-ciass rates for travel On coach
service planes, and has set up no
machinery to make refunds for the
difference in fare when this is done.
The failure of the board to take ac-
ton in regard to this practice, the
committee declares "has resulted in

an increase in coach fares" averag-

Strong criticism is directed toward

committee holds, has many of the as

90 per cent of Montana's 100000

able share of highway costs plus a
substantial portion of the other per
cents highway cost responsibility. No

largest over-the-road trucks operating
in Montana are not paying their share
for highways.
If the Legislature SHES away from
the heavy vehicles to what they should
be, then, the Legislature should at
tempt to establish equity of highway
costs by decreasing the gasoline tax
to the ordinary motorist. For the mo-
torist to be on an equitable cost basis
with the $500 large trucks, his gaso-
line tax would have to be reduced
about 81 cents a gallon-or just one
half of the seven cents state gas tax
he is now forced to pay. Such a reve-
nue. eduction-upwards of SO million
annually-it is plain to see would make
a shambles out of the highway system
for both those who make a profit out
of highway use as well as all other

ers conclusively proves that little or
no change in consumer prices could be
justified because of the higher taxing
schedule. On a sack of potatoes-one
of the items which the tax would hit
most heavily because of its relatively
low cost and large bulk-the tax would
increase the freight charge by about
one cent per hundred pounds. On a
$500 suite of furniture, the freight
would be about 10 cents higher. Fer
tilizer and grains would find their
freight costs up about one per cent.
The increased freight chargeable to
most grocery items would be so in
finitisimal that no retailer could re-
fleet such increases in retail prices
without gouging the consumer.
. The Weight-distance method is not
an expensive measure to administer
in spite of claims to the contrary. Rep.
Fred Barrett showed quite conclusive
ly that the administration of the Ore
gon weight-distance law is about the
same as administration of Montana's
GVW-or about per cent of total
fee revenues.
That Montana farmers are not
excited about having possibly slightly
higher freight rates because highway
cost responsibility would be more
equitably distributed under HB 326 is
attested to by the strong support given
the measure by both Leonard Ken
ion, and Winton Weydemeyer, master
Montana State Grange. Both organiza-
tions are on record at their annual
conventions in favor Of the enactment

Peoples Voice:

Hello:
To state that it is a DIFFICULT
CHOICE to decide as to whether HB 225
should or should not become law IS
inconprehensible to me. This bill pro-
vides for legaliZed thievery.
HB 225 repeals our Montana Usury
Law-which forbids charging more
than 1910 interest per year-and sub
stitutes therefore, interest rates of sc %
for loans up to 100000; 249o for loans
between $500 and $500; and 1870 for
loans between $500 and $1,000. These
are Secured Loans, too. The bill also
provides for wage assignments, and a
much as a 300 penalty for any loan
payment more than five days late. Fig
ure that out. This measure is aimed
solely to benefit the huge out of state
Loan Sharks, Who-as you know, are
bending Heaven and He'll to get this

borrowers.
1t is true that some of our local Small
Lenders today do get a higher rate of
interest: but their loans average only
about $4,000, and are on signature only;
whereas the average loan of these Out
of State Loan Sharks is $365-all Sc
cured by chattel mortgages. These peo-
pie, as their record in other states
shows, are not interested in loans under
$500. With them, it is mot the Princi-
pal, but the interest.
Under our present USury Law, the
borrower has protection against undue
'gouging'. HB 225 repeals that protec
tion and places the borrower complete
