PITY The Poor Bankers!

One could weep copious for Montana down
rodden bankers and how very badly they need tax relief
except for hngther figures show they annually
netting 26 per their invested capital after all
paid!
Immediately, the question arises How many other busi
Montana today netting 10 cent after all
overhead, including taxes, has been met?
Further the the victims of discrimination
than other of society? Discriminatory
taxation is not something which the bankers have
exclusive
against of all taxpayers the ind
vdua federal income He to large degree left
out Of the picture when the 83rd Congress busy handing
out billion dollars tax cuts mostly corporations (n
Guiding banks) With the dollar worth half much
Is years the $500 individual exemption totally unreasc
today.
And what about the highway taxes paid by the
moorst compared with those paid by the trucking industry
who's sole Of profit dependent good highways?
Why should the moorist several times much
mile for driving his the highways does the
large trucking operator?
At this time when of urging that state in
be increased that corporation license and other
tax laws be frightened and increased in order to help the
rising costs of government the bankers bid for tax relief comes
with poor grace
of their admittedly excellent invested
capital would appear the House should take ran check
favoraby considering the bankers relief bill (SB 15)
which passed the Senate Tuesday. j

There is considerable history back of
the present law providing for taxation

study and recommend Legislation on tax

and decisions Of U. S. courts re taxation

We're evading all taxes in Montana.
This committee met and reported to
the Governor and the legislature. She
report and copy of recommended laws IS
found in House Journal, 21st Assembly

At the committee meeting the life
insurance companies were represented
by Harry Cunningham, Atty. Milt Gum,
Gov. Sam V. Stewart, attorney for the
Bankers Association ct al
This law has been tested and ap-
proved by the Supreme Court Of Mon
tana and the Supreme Court of the u. S.
as being a fair tax on national banks

banks.
Harry Cunningham stated to the com

Defends McKean's S Right
To Speak

Dear Harry & Gretchen:
l wish to compliment you and yours
on the position you take on proposed
legislation on your editorial page of
Jan. 25. 1 consider it sound and well put.
1 do not appreciate Mr.. Passmore's s
attitude in his forum letter in the same
issue. The fact that it was printed IS
abundant justification for printing the
letter of Hobart Mexican. The bravery
of our founding fathers" and the
Hungarian Refugees, for whom Mr..
Passmore is 50 concerned, is little
greater than that of Mr.. Mexican in his
fortnight expression of an unpopular
opinion, which Mr.. Passmare brands as
"dasardly" and "a disgrace to any
American"
l hope we have no average" readers
or average Americans. l hope we are
and may remain a community of free
individuals with free individual opinion
and the courage and liberty to express
them for public consideration. And
hope we continue to have few publica-
tions which will let them be heard. Mr..
McKean's opinion, right or wrong, is
that of a good American boldly put, and
as to the communist insinuation, what
has become of the epieths, 'Nazi" and
fascist" of our late war period?-J Fl.

Title By Right of Conquest

The Battle of the Big Horn for the
site of Yellowtail Dam without ade-
quate compensation still goes on. Ac-
quisition of real estate from the North
American Indians by right of conquest
still seems to be popular. On Jan. 8th.
Federal Judge Chas N. Pray in Great
Falls denied the motion of the Crow
Indian Nation for the dismissal of con-
demnation proceedings by the govern
ment for the damsite. Under the circum-
stances it would seem that the next
step is for the government and the Crow
Nation to arrive at mutual agreement
by negotiation as to the fair and going
market price for a very valuable asset.
The discovery of uranium on Tribal
lands in the Big Horn Canyon with an
estimated value of 100000 or more
may complicate the situation. Certainly
the Grow Indians are entitled to every
protection for adequate compensation
for their mineral rights.
AS to the value of the damsite, the
Kerr Dam on the Flathead Reservation
would seem to establish some kind Of
a yardstick in measuring the value Of

HIGHER PAWN ENTS FOR

sors of the 'collar-to-collar" bill Glib
1860 have also introduced HB 235
which would increase the monthly pay
ments to present Silicotics by Public
Welfare from $65 to $1O0.
While the proposed new monthly
payment falls short of what a disabled

introduced would be of substantial as

Bill Again Before
House For Action

A renewed effort to secure an S-hour
"collar-to-collar" law governing the
hours of labor of underground miners,
is the intent of HB 286 by Healy Cd
Silver Bow and others.*
Under the bill, period of employment
of men in all underground workings
would be eight hours computed from
the time of leaving the surface or
entry of the underground mine or
working until the return to the sur
face or entry thereof; provided further
that nothing in this section contained
shall be deemed to prevent change in
the hours of employment from one part

Butte miners for years have sought
enactment of 'collar-to-collar" legisla-
tion such as is on the books of most
mining states. In 1855, as on previous
the powerful Anaconda Com
pany lobby has always been able to
stop enactment of such legislation.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

oil companies on the land board didn't
have a chance-therefore the legisla-
ture must do what the oil companies
were asking: Turn over the oil from
state lands-all of it-for the shameful
1213% royalty.
1t was made clear oil companies
weren't going to cooperate with state
officials to the benefit Of schools or
anything else-or give a quarter any
place-and if we left any discretion
in the hands of the land board the oil
companies certainly would rook theml
The state land board would never
be smart enough to handle the oil
companies, said the Republicans with
all due respect to the brains of politi-
cians), and then the senate proved
they weren't smart enough either
Montana state school lands have been
handed to the oil companies on a silver
platter-forever.
Now that the oil companies are go
ing to get the oil from state lands
forever-for a pittance-does anyone
think they are going TO bid very much
on the cash bonus? | agree with the
Republicans they are not philanthropic
only | wouldn't have let them rob
the school kids by legislative fiat-Td
have given the kids a chance via the
land board.
Maybe we should get this matter on
the ballot in the form of initiative or
referendum n or maybe the state
should go into the oil business itself
and take 1000 Of the oil from school
lands.
