In November
Unemployment
Up Some More
Last Month

Montana employers had 5000 few.
er workers on payroll this November
than last, and $500 less than were
employed in October of this year, ac-
cording to figures released by the
unemployment compensation commits
sion this week.
Compilations show" Chairman
Chadwick H. Smith of the commission
says, "164,90O wage earners in non
farm employment last month, against
$4,000 in November of 1856. AT
the same time offices of the COM
missions employment service in the
state had 1864 active job appli-
cants in their files, an increase of
Gill from a year before, and of
1923 from the October count. The
number of job seekers will increase
monthly through March when the
seasonal peak is normally reached"
This is the fourth successive month,
according to Smith, showing an en-
ployment decline from the same
month of last year. The trend first
appeared with cutbacks in July in
metal mining employment, which now
shows 1900 fewer wage earners than
during last November. Lumber and
logging are experiencing similar re-
duction in force, 200 below the en-
ployment of November 1856 and
LOO below the figure for August,
when 1857 seasonal employment peak
in that industry was reached.
Market conditions, national in
scope, are a factor in the cutbacks
in both industries. Other copper
producing areas as we'll as other
timber regions, are cut back in
similar manner. Economic effects
of idleness for these groups of
workers spreads to other fields of
employment. Jobs in trade, trans
portation, and construction are di-
rectly and indirectly affected.
The report shows a 600 reduction
in November manufacturing employ
ment from year ago, in addition
to the 200 lumber decline. Smelter

PROTECTION AND CARE

Regional Forester Charles L. Tebbe,
Missoula, said there was an urgent
need for roads for development and
protection of the 25 million acres of
national forest in the 16 national for
ests in Region 1, located in Montana,
North Idaho and northeastern Wash
ington.
Without access to the forest, said
Tebbe, "the resources of the land
cannot be made available to the
people, nor can the land managers
do an adequate job of protection and
care" He said current losses from
tree-killing insects and disease are
truly distressing, and result in the
loss of valuable old-growth timber"

WALL STREET JOURNAL suggests
industrialists take look at how farm
machinery makers have met 6-year

The industry has managed to pay

public's timber brings" He added,
"It has led also to lack of compe-
tition in bidding on public timber,
and consequent lower prices for pub
lie timber, because many logging and
numbering concerns, though qualified
and property equipped for logging,
are not equipped or financed for the
building of heavy duty access roads"
Crosswhite believes the purpose of
forest road building could better be
served through use of qualified and
properly equipped and trained road
builders. He said loggers only build
roads as fast as they need them,
necessitating a waste of time and
money maintaining survey crews in
an area, waiting for road building
to progress.

lined several major tax fields to be
studied in the period Immediately
ahead.
One of the more important disclos-
ures that came as result of discuss
ing bank taxation with Wesley w.
Wertz, Helena, attorney for the Mon
tana Bankers Association, and R. c.
Wallace, also of Helena, MBA secre-
tary, is that acknowledgements
banks, unlike state banks, are not sub
ject to state corporation license taxes.
Neither can the dividends paid stock
holders of national banks be taxed
under the state income tax law
This favored position accorded the
national banks is something the state
can do little about; that revision can
only be done in Washington, through
Congressional amendment of the Ma
tional Banking Act.
Because state banks do pay COR
poration license taxes and state
chartered bank dividends are sub
ject to Montana income tax, con-
sensus of opinion of the commission
seemed to indicate that the State
of Montana and all subdivisions
should show preference to the state
banks in placing public funds on
deposit. Whatever benefit accruing
from having such short-term de-
posts on hand, several commission
members opined, ought to accrue
to the banks which are subject to
Montana state tax laws.
Discussion of the controversial
"bankers' relief act'' passed by the
1857 Legislature brought out that,
in spite of assurances given the Legis-
lature, only a scattered handful of
small banks have raised their capitali-
cations and thus made up in part or

The new poultry inspection law
calls for voluntary inspection begin

USDA says it needs four months

2. Cooperation with two education
groups already in operation;
3. Setting up a legislative service

The Council is working under pres
sures arising out of the controversy
surrounding their establishment, first
in the Legislature and later in the
courts. They feel responsibility and
necessity to gain the confidence of
the general public as well as other
fellow legislators in the type of work
assigned them. They are faced with
multiple problems of state govern
ment and the obvious fact they can
not tackle all of them, but must con-
centrate only on what they can hope
to carry to successful conclusion.
With full knowledge that two of
the most important problems fac
ing a legislature are taxes and
education, and recognizing the
folly and expense of duplication of
effort, they voted to cooperate
