Dahl Retires, Miehels
Seeks Senate Seat

Sen. Andrew Dahl (D-Sheridan)
after seven legislative sessions-siX
of them in the Senate-in which he
achieved one of the best records
of any legislator in the last Is years,
has announced he will not seek re-
election this year.
The Senate vacancy caused by his
retirement will find Rep. Lloyd Mich
els, also a Democrat, an odds-on con-
tender for elevation to the upper
chamber after a number of terms of
meritorious service in the House.
Michels, chairman of the House
Highway Committee in 1855, has
been stalwart in support of better
more farm-to-market roads,
and more equitable truck-taxing leg
islation. Michels has also been one
of the cold reliables'' in the House
in support of improved school finan-
cling, protecting the schools monetary
interest in state oil land leases, and
for legislation sought by labor such
as improved workmen's compensa-
ton, etc.

himself who must recognize he has
problem and desires help. Many
alcoholic patients recognize their
problem for the first time after par
ticipation in the program.
Most of the alcoholic patients are
admitted to the hospital on a volun-
tary commitment through the COOP
Grafton of their county attorneys.
The cost to each patient is limited to
$500 day and is measured accord
ing to his ability to pay.
The treatment schedule begins with
a medication period which usually re-
quires from two to seven days. The
minimum stay after that is a period
of five full weeks. 1t must include
six Saturdays The patient is usually
released on the sixth Saturday after
starting the treatment program, sub
ject to approval by the medical staff.
The treatment program, after the
initial medication period, is COM
prised of full-scale attack by the
treatment team on all phases Of the
problem. Morning lectures by mem
bers Of the staff cover the physical,
mental, emotional, spiritual and social
aspects. Evening meetings are held
every night and comprise an intro
duction to A. A. and its twelve thera-
peutic steps. Arrangements are made |
during the day for Individual and |
small group psychotherapy and indi-
vidual counseling with the chaplains,
counselors and others. Occupational |
therapy in the form of work assign
ments is planned to coincide as near
ly with the patients aptitudes and
wishes.
The patients are all encouraged to
enjoy the weekly movies and the fa-
cilities of the hospitals recreation hall
and the patients canteen, and to par
ticipate in the social activities which
are planned for all of the hospital
patients.
Every Saturday night groups of AA
members from Butte, Missoula, Ana
conda, Bozeman-Livingston, and Hell
ena, in turn, conduct meetings for

Taxing Credit Unions Income

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(CNS)-
Credit unions want to keep their in

William o. Knight, Jr., of Sioux

National Association, said exemption
is indispensable" to their continuing
as "non-profit, self-help, voluntary
associations.
Speaking to the House Ways and
Means Committee, knight called the

'eminently just and equitable.
Congressman Noah Mason (R-Ill.),
committee member, has introduced
a bill to repeal this 20-year-old ex-

State Hospital Alcoholism
Program Gains. Approval

WARM SPRINGS-A revised and
enlarged program for the treatment
of alcoholic patients, inaugurated at
the Montana State Hospital at Warm
Springs October 21, is already evok-
ing enthusiastic approval from near
ly all of the community agencies
which deal with the alcoholic prob
lem, according to DR.. R. J. Spratt,
superintendent of the hospital and
supervisor of the alcoholism treat
ment program.
The hospital is continuously car
ing for an average of 40 men and
women in it's capacity as the state
supported alcoholic treatment center
in Montana. 1t was designated by the
193536 state legislature as the State
Hospital for Inebriates, and it had
been treating alcoholics even before
that date.
The alcoholic patients come from
every section of the state and every
level of society More than $50 re-
ceive treatment every year.
The present method of treatment
has proven the most successful of
many that have been tried. 1t COM
prises a team approach based pri-
marily on the philosophy of Alcoholics
Anonymous.
'The hospital considers that the
alcoholic is a sick person." DR.. Spratt
explained. 'He can be treated and
he is worth treating. The hospitals
obligation to the state is to treat the
alcoholic and prepare him for re-
turn to his community. Then it is up
to the community to accept him and
assist him in his rehabilitation"
The hospital relies heavily upon the
cooperation of Alcoholics Anonymous
for all phases of the rehabilitation of
the returnees, but it also seeks the
help of other agencies which are
deeply concerned with the problem,
such as the district judges, county at
torneys, law enforcement agencies, |

Pacific Northwest
Power Projects Are
Ahead On Payments

WASHINGTON, D. c. Pacific
Northwest federal power projects re-
turned the U. S. Treasury another
$24, ,015,707 in interest payments dur
ing fiscal 1857, Senators Warren G.
Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson,
(both D-Wash), report.
The projects now have paid $161,-
718,044 in interest and are $780,
$50 ahead of schedule in repaying
funds borrowed for their construction
in the way of congressional appro-
priations.
Comptroller General Joseph Camp
bell told Washington's senators that
although only $148,017,884 in prin-
cipal payments had been required to
June 80, 1857 to meet the federal
loan pay-out schedule, the projects
had earned sufficient additional reve-
nue. to repay $226,824,7O4 of the
principal loaned.
Although Northwest projects have
earned an overall total of $512,476,-
083 since their inception, operation
and maintenance expense of $685.
933,335 has been met, in addition to
paying the U. S. Treasury $16,718,-
044 in interest and applying $685.

cipal, Campbell advised Magnuson
and jackson.

The answer to this dilemma, of
course, is the effort of the private
companies to obtain an amendment
to the Holding Company Act which
would enable them to do what they
desire-build great private power
grids for their own use.
1t was exactly for this purpose that
an amendment to the Holding Com
pany Act was devised and introduced
by Senator John w. Bricker (R-Ohio)
last July. When hearings on this bill
are held before the Senate Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee, the private utilities will have
much to say about engineering econ
omies.
They have persuasive argument,
too. They say they would pass on
saving in cost to consumers-indust-
rial, commercial, and domestic.

1857 Work Of Top Court
Reviewed By Chief Justice

Chief Justice of the State Supreme
Court, James T. Harrison, handed
down Report of the Chief Justice"
to the press this week in which he
gives a detailed breakdown of the
work of the court designed to famil-
iarize 'many of our citizens, as well
as members of the bar" with the
workload handled by the court.
The six and one-half page report
includes five tables illustrating the
docket, opinions written, outcome of
appeals decided, origin by judicial
district of cases upon which written
opinions were filed and types of
cases.
The Chief Justice gave credit to
the appropriation by the 1857 Leg
islature for the ability of the court
to clear up the calendar as well as
it has, suggested the next legis-
lature look into new housing for
the court, and said the docket can
be cleared in the forseeable future
by hard work in an atmosphere
of harmony.
During 1857 the Montana Supreme
Court heard oral argument on 1873
cases and there remained 1872 cases
which had not been submitted for

decision at the close of the year, ac-
cording to the report.
Working from a backlog of 191
cases dating from June of 1858 the
court had before them in 1857 a
total of 80 cases, the report said.
The report stated that 72% of
the written opinions have been
unanimous, 1870 were four-to-one,
and 1870 were three-to-two. 81
feel', said Harrison, 1--WE have
come quite a ways on the road to
unanimity, desire which ev-
cry administrative officer wishes
could be achieved"
A tabulation of the total opinions
written by each justice showed:
Adair, IA; Angstman, 81; Bottomly,
Is; Castles, "a; Harrison, 38. In
cluded in these totals, Adair wrote
6 dissenting opinions, Angstman 2,
Bottomly 8, Castles none and Harri-
son 1.
Because Justice Bottomly was
taken i'll and had to be excused from
his duties for a period of time the
court has been assisted by six dis
trict judges at the November-D -Decem-
Der calendar.
Harrison noted that "the progress
we have made would not have been
possible without the appropriation
of the last legislature which provided
sufficient funds to employ legal as
for the justices. The last
legislature provided each justice with
a legal assistant.
The Chief Justice called attention
to ''the matter of quarters" for the
court. He said the law library "com-
pletely fills the room and "some
method must be shortly devised to
care for expansion. He said there
are inadequate quarters for legal
assistants and secretarial staff" that
are presently using space they will
have to vacate when the legislature
He said many states have provided
4 separate Supreme Court building,
and without making specific recon-
he said it might "be well
'or the legislature to give considera-
ion to such project.
Among the savings instituted, ac-
.ording to the report, was not replac-
ng the Marshall of the Court follow
ng the retirement of E. M. Hall.
'hese duties are being carried on by
me of the legal assistants. Another
economy has been the use of dupli-
ating machine to prepare the neces-
ary copies of opinions. This has re-
uced the typing formerly required of
he secretarial staff, and has been one
f the main reasons the court has
cen able to keep current "in the face
the increased work load of the
lembers of the court, said Harri-
On.

PERIL TO REAs AND
MUNICIPALITIES y

The rural electric co-operatives and
municipal systems shudder at this
idea. They have been a target of
private company attack since their
inception. Survival has cost many
long legal battles. From all parts of
the country the publicly owned and
cooperative systems have had to
bring enormous pressure upon Con-
gress to defend their survival. But,
being grassroots organizations with
many votes they have generally
weathered the assault. They are still
under heavy attack.
One answer to the threat of a
private power octopus swallowing the
inevitable giant grids was given by
Leland Olds, director of Energy Re-
search Associates, of Washington,
D. c., and former chairman of the
Federal Power Commission. In re-
cent address before the American
Economic Association in Philadel-
phia, Olds suggested enactment of a
national law permitting the establish
ment of three to five regional genera
tion and transmission corporations
covering the entire country.
Stock in these would be sold to
private, public, and cooperative cleo
trio systems. The private power COM
panies would dominate. But the Olds
plan calls for a new federal commits
sion to regulate these "Giant Power"
grids in the public interest. Some per-
sons concerned with municipal and
cooperative systems are not con-
vinced that federal regulation would
protect them against the shrewd law
yers of the private companies, and
their multi-million dollar propaganda.
Still, even though they would pre-
fer that the federal government build
and operate these vast power whole
sale operations, some are convinced
that such a proposal would not re-
ceive consideration from the present |
Congress. Time and money are
against them. 1t is a problem they |
nave not solved.

ONE POWERFUL OBSTACLE

There is only one compelling de-
terrent which prevents the private
utilities from moving ahead and TAX
ing over this ultimate vantage, which
would give them a position from
which they might stifle the co-opera-
tive and public power systems which
protect the public with yardstick
competition. That is the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1885. Joint
ownership of central generating and
transmission systems by the private
companies would constitute holding

could not sweep back the sea. Nor
can there by any overall retrench-
ment in state governmental costs, the
TAXED group, after more than a
year of study, has reluctantly con-
cluded. Initiation, an increasing pop
ulation and the demand for more
services lead only to larger outlays
even to maintain state governmental
operations at present levels.
In pointing out that such pres
ent level maintenance necessitates
the upping of state governmental
income by 40 per cent. for the next
biennium, the commission breaks
down its $25 million increase esti-
mate thusly:
/. Five million dollars additional
revenue is required to wipe out the
Forthcoming general fund deficit.
(The last legislature appropriated
approximately $65 million; revenues
to meet that budget, because of the
recession, stoppage of the increased
liquor tax, etc., are falling short by
five million dollars.)
2. Five million additional dollars
are needed to keep even, even if
there was a remote chance of hold
ing the next biennium's budget to
$65 million.
3. Supplemental appropriations of
$2.5 to SO million for the current
biennium will have to be given legis-
lative approval. (These supplementals
cover expenditure items, such as for

tions, not foreseen at time 1857 Leg

THE VOICE has learned from
reliable sources that when Mon
tana Medical Association holds its
convention in Billings, September

ports scheduled for presentation
will cover medical care at 10 state
operated institutions.
The report is now being put in
final draft form by an NINA COM
mittee set up some months ago to
make a survey of medical standards
at the various institutions.
Our information indicates a wide
range in quality of medical care,
from superior, to grossly in
adequate.
Twill be interesting to learn
more details on the medicos' in
vestigation, to what institutions
they accord the plaudits, and the
ones signalled out for censure.
