Five-Day Week
Coal of Public
Employees

Montana public employees will seek
to join the growing majority of salaried
and hourly wage workers who now en-
joy five-day week, Alex McDermott,
secretary of the Legislative Council of
Public Employees, has announced.
Chances appear extremely good they
may secure legislative approval of
their request. Gov. j. Hugo Aronson
recommended a five-day, 40+hour week
in his State of the State message. And,
| Sc House members and 12 senators,
prior to coming to Helena, had advised
the legislative council they favor such
legislation. CTuX of the matter may be
the number of hours work per week.
The council seeks a 37N-hour week
Cor one-half hour less than is now the
workweek for state and county en-
ployees), some public employees are
insisting ON 35-hour week, and, there
is the 40-hour week recommendation
of the Governors.
According to fact sheet put out
by the employees legislative lobbying
group, as compiled from material gath
cred by the Council of State GOcern-
ments, 35 states and territories now
schedule no work for administrative
and clerical employees ON Saturdays;
u states and territories have a skele-
ton force on Saturdays, and only eight
have a full work force on the sixth
day of each week
Anticipating opposition from some
rural legislators, the legislative council
points out that sin the horse and
buggy days when travel was slow,
Saturday was reserved for the trip to
town to buy supplies and transact
other necessary business. The automo-
bile has made it possible to reach pri-
vate and public offices in the matter

In addition, the council indicates
that passage of a five-day week law
would not disturb an existing statute
which requires that public offices

State Top Heavy In Number of
Liquor Vending Establishments

Montana has more than four times
as many retail liquor dealers as the
national average, the State Liquor Con-
troll Board states in it's annual report
for fiscal year 1856.
The state has 268 such establish
ments per 1000 people, as compared
with ga saloons and other retail out
lets, nation.wise. Compared with neigh
boring states, Montana has more than
nine times as many retail outlets as
Washington (.2S per 10000. Oregon
has only .43 retail outlets, Idaho, .69
and Wyoming, 1852 per 1000 popula-
ton.
This overlooking of the retail liquor
outlet field, the board points out, is
the "basis for many of Montanas en-
forcement problems :" This has re-
suited in an attitude by the board that
a definite and present need must be
shown before new licenses are issued.
The board believes such a policy is
necessary for the protection of the
best interests of the state"

alton for alleviating devastating floods
which frequently take terrible toll
in life and property along the lower
reaches of the Columbia River.
According to the Corps of Engineers
| 30S Review Report of 1948, Paradise
Dam would be located about two miles
downstream on the Clarks Fork of the
Columbia and "a miles west of Mis-
soula. With higher water level Of
2,700 feet above sea level, it would
make a reservoir extending 49 miles
upstream on the Clark Fork (Missoula
river and 72 miles upstream on the
Flathead to the tailwater level at
Montana Powers Kerr Dam.
The dam would be earthfill with
total height of 270 feet $3.50 feet long
and have a crest height of 2,715 feet
above sea level. Just downstream on
the right bank would be the power
house with eight 72,000-kw. units for
an initial installation of $4,000 XIV,
and provision for six additional units
for an ultimate installation of 1905
600 XIV.
According to Review Report 308, the
ratio of benefits to costs for Paradise
is LII to 10 which is quite favorable
when compared with Libby, 1875 to 10;
Nez Perce 1876, Hells Canyon, 1.31.
The drainage basin above the proposed
dam comprises $4,000 square miles.
That drainage basin had a maximum
record discharge of 21,3O0,000 acre
feet of water in 1928 and minimum
of 100000 acre feet in 1941, with
mean discharge of 12,240000 acre feet
Estimated cost of the dam at the
time 30S was prepared by the Engi-
neers was $265, ,569, 900, of which some
$50 million would go for relocation of
about 55 miles of Northern Pacific,
and Chicago Milwaukee railway tracks.

LIQUOR COSTS LESS IN MONTANA

LIQUOR COSTS LESS IN MONTANA
Liquor, on the average, costs less
| in Montana under the state retail store
system than in any of our neighboring
states. The average price per fifth of
whiskey in Montana is 1895. In Wash
ington it is $4.44; Oregon, $4.10; Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming, $4.35 fifth.
Montana ranks second to Washing
ton in per capita revenue from sale Of
alcoholic beverages. Washington is high
with approximately $10.75 per capita;
Montana is about $3.50; Oregon, 1915;
Idaho, $3.50; Utah, $3.50, and Wyo-
ming, $5.25.
In this respect, the report states
"Montana's liquor laws, as set up by
various legislative bodies since it's in
ception in 1884, have provided this
state with greater revenue returns to
the state treasury per capita than the
majority Of neighboring states" These
g. . figures would have little mean
ing if the people of Montana were pay
ing an eXhOrbitant price for their
liquors. 1t is significant, however, that
not only was the per capita return ex-
tremely high in the State of Montana
but the liquor prices are lower than
any of our surrounding states"

In this connection, the board points
OUT that 'Montanas liquor monopoly,
established originally as a measure of
control, now provides the largest single
source of income to the states general

other source of income but it exceeds
several other sources combined"
