GAS CONSUMERS CAN'T WIN

Apparently there is nothing unrea-
sonable about the p to Sc per cent
natural gas rate hike granted Montana
Dakota Utilities in 1858 by the Public
Service Commission, in the eyes Of
District Judge Victor Fall. Fall this
week. in ruling against the action
brought by former Attorney General
Arnold Olsen, said that Olsen had
failed to, present evidence the rates
authorized by the PSC =. were un-
reasonable and unlawful :"
Falls decision comes in face of
sworn testimony given in Yellowstone
District Court last August by John
Rishn, counsel for the PSC at the time
Of the rate hike that I" the commits
sion had made no investigation as to
the accuracy of the information pre-
sented in the utility's increase applica-
ton :. it was not general policy at
that time to conduct such investiga-
tons. The very fact NO investigation
was made by PSC should certainly
have indicated to Judge Fall that there
was a grave question as to whether or
not the increase was reasonable and
lawful
Judge Falls decision does little to
protect the public's interest against
the predatory onslaughts of utility
1t is to be hoped the new
Attorney General, Forrest H. Ander-
son, will, like his predecessor, Olsen,
view such a district court ruling as a
frightful miscarriage of justice to the
gas consuming public and will courag
7Ously carry on appeal to the State |

FURTHER THOUGHTS ON LAND
DEPARTMENT ADMINISTRATION

Last week in this column we noted
the abrupt dismissal of Mrs. Ida Ducich
by State Land Commissioner Lou
Bretzke, and also the fact that Mrs.
Ducich had been with the department
for 81 years as faithful and conscien-
tious custodian of land department ac
tivities involving right-of-ways and
easements. To do this type of work
well requires extensive training and
experience if the best financial inter
ests of the State (and particularly the
schools) are to be served. 1t is our
information that Mrs. Ducich's success
or is noticeably lacking of training in
this highly specialized field.
The State Land Department, unlike
other departments of state govern
ment is the custodian of vast amounts
of property and sums of money owned
by the people of Montana in common.
Under its administration are assets of

THE TREASURE STATE
SHALL RISE AGAIN!

About now, the guy who designed"
the new license plates is probably
moaning ". no body loves me, every
body hates me, guess I'll go eat
worms e. - He should. However, at
this writing, it begins to appear that
Montana's plates may only be dis
grace for single year. Reps. Mysse,
Thompson and Nelson have introduced
a bill to order license plate officials
to reinstate the Montana state outline
on the plates. Although, the outline
would be smaller than prior to 1857,
it would still be distinctive. The spon-
sOrs point out that their measure will:
1. Restore the advertising value of
the old plate, 2. Ease the work of police
and patrolmen by enlarging the size of
the county number on motorists Ii
cense plates.
