$4,000 Now
Reside In State

HELENA -Montana's population
is now estimated at $4,000, accord
ing to figures released by the State
Board of Health office of vital sta
tistics. This represents 14.2% popu-
lation gain since the last federal CEN
sus, in 1850.
This population estimate is based
on the 1856 statewide school census
of all persons under 21 years of age.
The U. S. census of 1850 showed this
age group represented 379o of the
total population.
The estimate indicates Montana has
increased approximately $4,000 since
the 1850 census. Roughly the gain is
equivalent to adding four counties
with the population of Gallatin
county since 1850. The federal CEN
sus in 1850 reported Gallatin coun
ty's population at 21,902.
Of the 80 counties showing popu-
lation gains, Yellowstone county's
1925 increase is the greatest. Cas-
cade county increased by 1928 and
Silver Bow shows gain of 11,178
since 1850.
Only II of the states Sc counties
have lost population since the 1850
census. The greatest are reflected
in Lake county's 1885 decline and
Custer, county's 1851 loss.
Percentagewise, Mineral (44%)
county shows the greatest gain and
Wibaux (16@o) the greatest loss.

LEGISLATION INTRODUCED

On the legislative level, the five
man committee secured suspension of
the rules and had HB 481 introduced
Tuesday. HB 481 would revamp rep
resentation on the control board to
include two representatives of con-
sumers, two who are producers and
two who are distributors. The bill
would also order meetings of the
board at least every sixty days, and
provides for method of appointment
Of board members by the Governor.
Under HB 481 the executive secre-
tary would be appointed by the Gov
ernor by and with approval by the
State Senate.
A first step toward restoring public
confidence in the board, the commit
tee believes, would be for the present
board to resign and permit new
group to make fresh start. In this
connection, the committee took par

mittee 'has more or less controlled
the action of the board, possibly to
his own advantage"
BOARD HAS "ACTED
ARBITRARILY"
Preliminary to asking the board
to resign, the committee reported lin
part) in it's findings that:
1. Members of the board "have act
ed arbitrarily and in many instances
have not acted at alp;
2. The board does not have a con-
sistent enforcement policy;
8. The board has never required
of distributors that they file reports
showing the specific use or DISPOSE
ton they have made of milk pur-
chased from producers. "Many pro-
ducers suspect that some part of the
milk which is being purchased by cer-
tain distributors at a low price as
surplus milk, supposedly for manu-
featuring, is actually being bottled
and that. consequently they are not
being paid the boards minimum price
for the proper quality of milk" (The
committee opines the board should
have, long ago, required a system
Of reporting which would serve as a
check on this matter.")
4. The board has allowed interested
parties to sit in on it's deliberations
in attempting to reach decisions.

The committee, in making it's re-
port to the House stated that while
their investigation has been limited
in scope, they had interviewed 80
witnesses representing milk produc-
ers and distributors and the Control
Board and have attended a public
hearing conducted at Butte by the
Executive Secretary :"
AS result of their investigation,
they concluded that ''it is important
that the law be retained, but that
certain administrative and legislative
changes are needed if the act is to be
administered in fairness to all parties
concerned.
