NEW YORK (NANA).-The
returns from the theater sea-
son of 1861 indicate that So
shows opened, six made their
money back and eight more
have q chance Of doing so.
In other words. when the final
score is posted 1t Is possible
that one out Of almost every
four shows that opened may
be considered q success. Is this
good or bad?
Contrary to popular belief
! think 1t Is q fair gamble. Are
the odds any better In the
stock market?
How many Texas oil opera
tors hit pay dirt on every
fourth well they drill? How
many horse players pick q
winner every fourth race?
Not me.
Intangibles TO Consider
OF course. there are thou
sands Of intangibles: Your show
may be hit. but you may get
almost nothing back: on the
other hand, every dollar in
vested in the original produce
ton Of "Oklahoma!" has re-
turned something over 500 to
date. You may invest with the
assurance that a certain star.
or director. will be aboard
and one or both may leave the
show before hitting New York.
The script you read and liked
may not be the one that comes
to Broadway. There are these
and many other risks.
But the same goes for the
market. An announcement
from the Kremlin. or the White
House. can murder your best
predictions. Horses can't talk
to people. and the one that
ought to breeze home has no
way Of telling his owner that
he has a slight headache and
doesn't feel like trying. The
best geological surveys still
can't guarantee just where
you'll strike oil.

Theoter About as Sure
AS Stocks or Race Bets

It seems to me that in many
ways the theater should be q
much safer speculation: at
least. you have a script. There
are the words and directions.
and If you have any imagina-
ton and theater sense, you
should be able to tell the diff
ference between something
that has q chance and a COM
plete clinker. Trouble is, very
few nonprofessionals know how
to read q script-but in that
case they have nobody but
themselves to blame.
Artistic Rewards at Times
In borderline cases. plays
which didn't quite make it"
but were still intelligent
efforts. nobody is particularly
culpable. And very often the
hackers get most Of their
money returned and have been
artistically rewarded in being
able to boast that they "have
q piece Of that show"
The theater takes a bad rap,

Montana Leads All States
In Apprenticeship Truining

prentices are to receive supplemental
and related instruction for at least 144
hours per year of the apprenticeship.
State and local boards responsible for
vocational education within our public
school system have the responsibility
of providing such supplemental in
structiOn.

One of the big problems the pro-
gram is running into, according to
Yaeger's report, is getting an ade-
quate number of apprentices in train
ing at all times to supply the present
and foreseeable future needs for skilled
workers locally, state wide and ma
tionally. In some trades the number
of skilled workers is decreasing while
the demand for them is increasing. A
part of our job is to keep abreast of the
times, changes in industrial methods,
and the constant urging to keep a suf-
ficient number of apprentices in train
ing to fill the present and future needs
of industry >.
At the present time there are ninety
local apprenticeship committees scat
tered over the state. These committees
run their own programs with mini
mum of assistance from the state
council
Some of the larger firms participat-

Report To President Asks
ApprovuI OF Paradise Dam

The minimum package recommended
to the President by NPPA includes u
total of 100000 kilowatts, would in
storage for controlling floods and irri-
cation, and would include completion
of the Columbia river navigation chan
mel to Lewistown, Idaho, via the Snake
river tributary of the Columbia.
The program would cost about $2.5
billion, require 20 years to complete
and would produce new power reve-
nues of about $20O,OO0,OO0 per year.
"This weaIth-producing program
would not only be seIf-Iiquidating
but also generally self-financing.
Legislation will be ready in January
for a public regional power agency
which would finance the program
by means of power revenues and the
issuance of electric revenue bonds,"
Norwood told the President.
Immediate aim of the program IS
to start John Day Dam this year, au
thorize Hells Canyon Dam and reserve
the Nez Perce Dam for future construc-
ton. The resolution urges early con-
struction of the authorized Lower
Monumental, Little Goose and Lower
Granite dams, and upon completion
of negotiations with Canada, the Libby

The legislature is faced with raising
many millions of dollars in additional
tax income if all the needs Of all the
branches of state government are to
be even moderately well met. Accord
ingly. taxes will probably be a num-
Der one headache for the 1857 session.
Principal proposals for new taxes
concern themselves primarily with
closing the loopholes in the corporation
license tax and increasing the per-
sonal income tax. If the legislature
follows the recommendation of the
State Board of Equalization, loophole
elimination may result in the state re-
ceiving at least two million dollars
a year more from that source alone.
Income tax hiking proposals, ranging
up to double present tax schedules,
will also find their way into the legis-
lative mill. A fifty per cent increase
in state income taxes, for example,
would bring in approximately three
million dollars more revenue each
year CNOTE: State income taxes, in

eral taxes, currently cost the average

very low tax rates and the consider
ably higher exemption schedules than

taxi
WATCH OUT FOR SALES TAX
Also rumored to be slated for intro
duction is a general sales tax. Various
major property groups have been try
ing to sell this type of revenue meas
ure to the Montana public for some
years, and particularly the last couple
of years as the threat loomed on the
horizon that corporation license tax
loopholes might be closed by the 1857
session. A two per cent sales tax on
food, clothing and other living neces-
sites would bring in an estimated
twenty million dollars annually.
A fourth major tax proposal con-
Germs additional taxing Of farmer CO.
operatives, mutual insurance compa-
nies, building and loan associations,
and labor unions. This proposal, os-
tensibly being. sponsored by the Farm
Bureau, has strong corporate back
ing not so much because of the money
it would bring in, but as weapon to
confuse and clutter up the work Of
the forthcoming legislature.
Another measure which may be held
forth as a revenue producing measure,
yet have a completely different aim,
placing a heavy tax on such
retail trade stimulators as trading
Chain stores, in state after
state have been seeking legislation to
curb or prohibit use of such stamps by
placing prohibitively high taxes on
them. Independent businessmen have

value in keeping themselves in a COM

.icularly in the grocery merchandising

LEARNING WHILE EARNING

In explaining the Importance of ap-
prentice training, Supervisor Yaeger
states that apprenticeship is system
of learning while earning. 1t is the
time-tested and proven method of on
the-jOb training of youth at the skilled
trades to craftsmanship or journeyman
status. The better training and more
skills working people acquire will re-
suit in their future job security, great
er productiveness by industry, secur-
ity of our country, greater value of
skilled workers to their employers,
and better products and services to the
public. 1t is to these objectives govern
mental apprenticeship agencies are
dedicated"
During 1856 1,158 people were en-
rolled in pprentice-training programs
in Montana, Carpenter apprentices
lead all crafts with a total of 166.
Plumbers were second with sc appren-
tices, inside electricians with 81, were
third Auto mechanics were fourth

fifth with &c.

In 1856 Montana led all the states
in the number of apprentices in train
ing per 1000 craftsmen, the State Ap-
premiership Council announces in it's
biennial report to the legislature.
The report, prepared by State Ap-
premiership Supervisor Henry Yaeger
and staff, notes that in 1856 Montana
had 42 such registered apprentices" to
each 1000 craftsmen in the state. Sec
ond among the states was Minnesota
with 33 to each 1000 craftsmen. Con-
necticut followed with 80, and Arizona
and Wisconsin were tied for fourth
with 81 apprentices per 1000 crafts
men.
During the past 10-year period, the
report continues, "2,034 registered ap-
prentices have received their state
certificates of completion of appren-
ticeship as awarded by the council
There are hundreds of these completed
apprentices who have been advanced
to leadmen, foremen and superintend-
ents. Many have started their own
businesses involving the trade at which
they served their apprenticeships.
Many have bought out their employers
businesses and continue to operate
them successfully. The others continue
to follow their chosen trade as journey
men"
