Another Small Bank
Increases Its Capital

Another small Montana bank,
First National Bank of Plains, has
recently doubled its capital, accord
ing to a press release issued by
c. G. Johnson, bank president.
In announcing the increase
Johnson stated: "At a recent spec
ial meeting of the shareholders of
the First National Bank of Plains
it was unanimously voted to double
the capital of the bank increasing
same from $4,000 to 100000.
The bank has a surplus fund of
100000, which together with the
increase in capital will show
capital structure of 100000. The
bank will now be able to make
larger loans to it's customers and
provide additional security to de-
positors."
Banks were given incentive to
increase their capitalization last
legislative session when the tax
classification on bank surpluses,
equalling up to the total amount
of capital, was reduced from 80
to seven per cent under Senate
Bill IS.
Up to this time several small
banks have increased their capitali-
cations, however, to date we have
received no reports of the larger
out-of-state chain-controlled banks
having taken any action in that
direction. The chain banks, unless
they do materially increase their
capitalizations in order to make
up for the 400 per cent tax CLASH
fication cut, stand to be ahead ap-
proximately $175,OOO year in
taxes-at the expense of the 56
counties.

Hamilton Councils
Stand On Utility Rate
Boosts Popular

HAMILTON-Opposition to the
proposed higher phone and electricity
rates by this Western Montana coun-
ty seats city council is being re-
ceived with general approval by the
people of Hamilton.
Monday night the council went on
record opposing the 19 to 23 per
cent electricity rate increase current
ly being sought by Montana Power
Co. In so doing, the predominantly
conservative council pointed out that
the city budget for the Forthcoming
year is extremely tight and the pro-
posed rate increase would materially
unbalance the city's fiscal structure.
Also. the council noted that a city
wide special lighting improvement
district is planned for the very near
future and that higher electric rates
would materially increase operational
costs of the district.
The Hamilton council, almost a
month ago went on record against
higher phone rates. At the time the
council opined that if telephone in
vestment has gone up as much as
claimed by the utility, then such in
crease should be reflected in the tax
valuation of Mountain States-but
isn't. Similar sentiments are now be-
ing expressed here concerning Mon
tana Powers claimed huge increase
in electrical investment in recent
vars, less than half, of which has
been reflected in higher assessments
on that utility.

Telephone Rate
Hike Protested
By Mine-Min

The International Union of Mine
Mill & Smelter Workers and its Mon
tana Local Unions in Butte, Ana
conda, Great Falls, East Helena,
Philipsburg, Deer Lodge and Mel
rose appeared before the Railroad
and Public Service Commission Tues
day in Billings, to protest for its
members and the Montana telephone
users the application by the Noun
tain States Telephone & Telegraph
Company for increasing its rates and
charges to consumers in Montana.
Ernest Salvas of Butte, executive
board member for the union said /:
"The application contemplates $50
to 40%o increase in charges to con-
sumers and comes at time when
many members of the Union are un-
employed and barely able to meet
the current cost of living because of
the depressed non-ferrous metals
market. The Mine-Mill group is ac-
lively fighting jointly with other pro-
testants this untimely and unwar-
ranted increased cost to Montana
consumers"
In addition to Salvas, the Nine
Mill group in Billings to protest the
application included Maurice Powers
of Butte, Larry Riley, Ed Johnson,
Tam Deehan, Sven Hansen of Ana
conda, and is represented before the
Commission by Attorney C. w. Leap
hart, Jr., Of Helena, Montana.

seven per cent tax classification of
money capital and bank shares is ap-
plicable this year.
County commissioners of Cascade,
following an opinion by County At
torney R. V. Bottomly, disagreed
with the state board ruling, basing
their position on the fact the act
wasn't signed into law by the Gov
ernor until after the first Monday
in March when all personal property
taxes must become lien on the prop
erty.
The question of constitutionality
was raised before the Cascade county
board of equalization and again be-
fore the state board by Cascade
county deputy attorney P. J. Gil
feather, and was two-fold:
1. That the lower tax classifica-
tion couldn't constitutionally be put
into effect because the law did not
become a part of the statutes until
after the first Monday of March, and
thus unconstitutional under Section
80 of Article V of the State Consti-
tuition which prohibits the legislature
from releasing or diminishing a tax
obligation which became fixed. as
contended by Gilfeather, on the first
Monday of March;
2. Giving banks seven per cent
tax classification on money used to
make money from, whereas moneys
invested in other money-making bust
nesses (such as merchandise inven-
tories, lands) are classified at con-
siderably higher percentages of val
ue, thus discriminating between types
of investments.
In this connection, Silver Bow
county attorney Maurice Hennessy
recalled to the board the Victor
Chemical tax case in regard to the
1851 act. Victor attempted to take
advantage of that act which was de-
signed to give incentive to new busi-
ness to locate in the state and at
,empted to pay its real property taxes
IN the seven per cent classification
provided under that law instead of
he 80 per cent applying to estab-
ished enterprises. The State Supreme
Court voided the 1851 law because

Attorneys for protesting groups
made formal objection to all of the
testimony and exhibits presented as
a matter for the record. These OBJ
jections were all overruled by the
chairman of the commission, on the
grounds that their validity could be
established on cross examination.
A procedure new in the rules of
a Montana Public Service Commits
sion provides for split hearings.
The utility case was heard this
week after which there will be a
recess to allow protestants time to
examine the testimony. When the
hearings are reconvened the protest
ants can cross examine company wit
nesses, present their own testimony
and the company can cross examine.

used to arrive at the value of their
intrastate property; confirmation as

ConstitutionuIity of Bankers Tax

Constitutionality of the often re-

increasingly difficult times for farm

WORKERS FACING A BLEAK
WINTER

''The great bulk of the wage earn
ers of Montana are facing as bleak
a winter as has been our experience
since the depression days of the '30s.
This is no time for adding to the
burdens of the wage earners by MAX
ing unnecessary rate increases for
public utilities"
"This rate increase must be care
fully examined and investigated. l
am hopeful that the Public Service
Commission will undertake a COM
plete investigation of the matter.
However, recent court decisions by
the courts of this state, am advised,
may require that the protestants
themselves may be compelled to as
sumo much of the burden of this.
1t is not thing that can be done in
a short period of time. And for that
reason, we are requesting the allow
ance of time for the investigation of

tion of the protestant's position in
