DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH

Friend Wesley Wertz in Readers
Forum" takes exception to our criti-
cism of SD Is as a measure to cut
bank taxes. My high regard for Yves
as to his integrity, his legal ability
and his proven lobbying ability as
shown by SD Is now being state law,
in no way changes my opinion of that
bill. 1t does represent over a 400 per
cent tax cut on zone element of the
value of bank shares. I anticipate
some banks may increase their CAPT
talization by hundred per cent or
so in view of rapid industrial expan-
sion in few areas. However, because
of increasingly depressed conditions
surrounding Montana's principal in
dustry, agriculture, l doubt if there
will be any bankers suffering occu-
pational injuries from falling all over
each other in any mad dash to the
State Superintendent of Banks office
to secure permission to increase CAPT
talization.

NTEA-Inspired
Mail Swun1ps
Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c. CNS)-
Every congressman and senator on
Capitol Hill is receiving Individually
typed form letters, urging him to slap
a penalty tax on co-ops.
The letters come from trade ass0-
Citations representing many kinds Of
businessmen. They are inspired by
National Tax Equality Association,
which has modified this well-nigh
solid front of business organizations,
and most of them are typed in
NTEA's office in Chicgo.
These groups urge that refunds
which co-ops make to their customers
be taxed as if they were profits to
the coop. No business = coop or
otherwise-now pays such tax. Only
co-ops would bear such a tax if the
bills that these groups urge are en-
acted. The bills are HR sol and 502,
introduced by Congressman Noah Ma
son (R-Ill.).
These groups-and probably 9TH
ers-have blanketed the Capitol with
their anti-co-op mail: American Asso-

VERY INFORMATIVE

One of the highlights of the past
two months in Helena that will stick
in the minds of a large number of
labor and farmer legislative repre-
sentatives and legislators was the
series of four educational meetings
held on Friday nights during the
middle weeks of the 35th Legislative
Assembly.
The first such meeting conferred
primarily on workmen's and occupa-
tional disease compensation, with
Labor Attorney Charles Huppe and
Arnold Olsen leading discussions on
existing laws and the need for major
revision to bring our laws up to at
least minimum federal standards.
The second meeting was devoted
in large degree to the needs of Mon
tana schools, with D. D. Cooper, Mon
tana Education Association executive
secretary acting as discussion leader.
The third Friday evening get-to-
gether featured Jack Reid, chairman
of State Board of Equalization and
a most informative discussion on
Montana tax problems, what needs to
be done in the way of tax reform,
and what sources of revenue are avail
able to meet increasing costs of state
and local government.
Final meeting centered on highway
financing with William Hall, director
of the Highway Fact Finding Commit
tee, explaining the proposed weight
distance method of securing equitable
tax contributions from the large over
the-road truck operators.
All four weekly panels were of
high educational value and did much
to clarity these important matters in
the minds of the people who attended
the Friday night sessions.

voting for approval of the interim
committee bill and Rep. Jerome An

voting against. Exactly the opposite
was the case, with Anderson of Cas-

People who opposed the weight

The "study" bill that the House
rejected was a Senate rewrlte OF one

cause it contained the same old prom

State Statute Abo|ishes
24 Geauga JP Courts
Replaced by
One Court
in County

The Geauga County Associa-
ton of Justices of the Peace
and Magistrates, meeting in
Burton Monday night, voted to
dissolve that organization and
turn ITS records over to the
Geauga County Historical Soci-
ETY..
The action came as a result
Of the legislation recently ap-
proved by the Ohio General
Assembly and Senate which
sounded the death-knell for the
JP courts, which for over $50
years have functioned in the
county.
Replacing the JP courts will
be one county court, with an
elected judge. The new court,
which will begin to function in
January, will have jurisdiction
in motor vehicle violations, other
miSdemeanors and in most 9TH
er actions in which JP courts
have had jurisdiction.
The judges salary was set
by the statute at $500 annually
plus an additional amount equal
to three cents per capita of
the population. Additional funds,
within set limitations, may be
voted by the county commits
SionerS.
The first county Judge will
be chosen at the November
elections. Candidates have until
August z to file nominating pet
itionS for the office.
AS a result of a recent rul-
ing by the Ohio Supreme Court,
justices of the peace no longer
receive financial compensation
for their work, but most o1
them have continued to handle
emergency cases which may
acquire immediate attention.
Geauga County JP courts
which will be replaced by the
new county court are those OF
justices:
