Taxes-The House Ways and
Means Committee has tentatively ap-
proved an income tax cut for federal
government employees, rail workers
and self-employed persons covered by
the Social Security program. 1t
would allow workers to deduct from
their taxable income amounts paid
into ACKNOWLEDGEMENT retirement
funds up to 5000 year on contribu-
tions paid in excess of three per cent
per year.
Minerals-The House Interior Com
mittee, of which / am a member, is
busy considering various minerals
bills of vital Importance to Montana's
mining industry, and l am hopeful
one will be cleared for House action
soon. Various centrally-dlrected ma
tional pressure groups are opposing
any aid for the minerals industry. l
believe the general sentiment of the
committee is in favor of some form
of sterilization program for our fall
tering mining industries. The cur
rent international crisis should sharp
ly point out the need for sustained
and healthy US minerals program in
the interests of national defense.
Housing-Our Committee on Bank
ing and Currency soon will consider
some much-needed housing legisla-
ton. Just concluded are hearings by
a housing subcommittee, and the full
committee now will consider its re-
concentrations. More generous pro-
visions for conventional mortgage
lending will be one of the goals.

sonal income could be maintained in
the face of drastically lower profits
for almost every form of business
during the first quarter of this year
is an interesting story.
The most important decline in the
income stream was, of course, the
fall in wages and salaries. This
amounted to a drop of $4.5 billion
in the annual rate from a year
earlier. But this loss was almost ex-
actly offset by an increase of $4.5
billion in the annual rate of transfer
payments. The term transfer pay
ments" is used by economists to indi-
cate disbursements which are not
earned by some recent rendering of
services or sale of goods. Included
are social security payments, unem-
ployment compensation, railroad re-
tirement and payments to veterans.
Obviously, as unemployment COM
pensation periods of payment expire,
and funds are exhausted, this item
must decline.
DoC 1dI III HiConc was up IToH last
May at an annual rate of $1.3 billion
to 1888 billion. This was just about
the same level as in the first year of
the Eisenhower Administration :
when it was not high.
The share of income going to
farmers amounted to 3.8 percent in
May, as compared with 3.5 percent
a year earlier. But, although the
amount of payments was the same as
in 1853, the percentage of all in
come was lower. In 1853 40 percent
of all personal income went to farm
ers.
AS a matter of fact, in only three
categories was the proportion of the

Census of Stockholders

NEW YORK CITY-CNS- Next
year New York Stock Exchange will
take another census to find out how
many different people hold shares in
US. corporations.
In 1862, similar survey showed
that 100000 people own corporate
stock, and they represented 3,75O,OOO
different families. Another survey
in 1856 showed 33 per cent jump.
The number of shareholders was up
to 100000, and they represented
100000 households.
Exchange officials are hoping for
another big jump to support their
claims of "a peoples capitalism.
In 1866, one us. household in 10
held one or more shares of corpor-
alton stock. That same year, one
household in every four owned shares
in one or more co-operatives.

Propose Fund for Rural
RedeVeIopment

WASHINGTON = NFU = A bill
sponsored by Rep. Brent Spence ID
Ky.) and designed to aid depressed
urban and rural areas has been re-
ported favorably by the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency.
Under its terms, an area redevel-
opment administration would be
created as a constituent agency of
the federal Housing and Home Fin
ance Agency. A revolving fund of
500 million would be available for
loans for industrial projects in indus
trial redevelopment areas. Another
fund of 500 million would be avail
able for industrial projects in rural
areas. In addition, the redevelop-
ment agency could make grants for

funds of $75 million per year

pest control and they had no proposed
legislation ready.
Among the problems were whether
the law should make it mandatory for
land owner to participate in pest
control programs, even if his obliga-
ton is very marked. He spoke of the
necessity for safeguards in the law,
requiring public hearings. He said,
in controlling pests, it does no good
to spray the perimeter unless you get
the adjacent area, and charges
against an adjacent area should not
be as great as the immediate area af-
fected.
The lumber man said ''it does no
good to spray government or state
land and not private land that is in
volved," and the committee problem
is how to bring about the cooperation
of the private land owners.
MIR. Moon pointed out that the
annual mortality in Montana for
ests among growing timber is 81
per cent insect, two per cent fire
and five per cent disease. He said
people will go to great lengths to
fight fire, but they won't have their
land sprayed no matter who does it.
Moon said other states are paying
about one-third the cost and Montana
is paying nothing, toward a program
to fight fire and pests on private
land.
The slash problem as presented by
Hollis Young involves mostly the cost
factor. He said the state allows only
one-half the amount it costs to clear
slash, therefore the job isn't being
done properly, because it is impos-
sible.
Fire danger from slash is very
great, according to Mr.. Young, and
it costs $3.50 per thousand board feet
for slash disposal for which the state
allows rs cents per thousand.
To this Gareth Moon said, eff we
are to do the job we have to have
money to do it,
The big problem for the state
forest service, it seems, is that the
land owner must deduct from the
price of his timber the cost of dispos-
ing of the fire hazard potential in
slash.

School Observation-Disclosures will par

program, according to information l
have received from the national direc-
tors office. Apportionment of fed
eral funds for the program in the
1958-59 school year will be $360,725.
This past year the amount for Mon
tana was $3O6,345 and in 1861 it
was 1912, lob. During the 1878
school year, 7,040,631 meals were
served under this program in Mon

were served last year in the US and

patton in Montana during this last

ton and he thought the council

could give him some advice on
what he was doing wrong.
Appearing with Moon were three
members of three committees APP
pointed by the Governor to study the
specific forest problems explained to
the council. Charles Tebbe, regional
forester. USES, spoke for the fire
control committee; Mark Schoknect,
logging manager for ]. Neils Lumber
Company. Libby, for the pest control
committee. and Hollis Young, Kalis-
pelI farmer, for the slash control COM
mittee.
Tebbe said "new look" is needed
in basic fire protection legislation in
Montana. Among the points he stres-
sed are better definitions of such
things as: "what is forest land?";
forest for assessment purposes" ,;
"what is a forest fire?", and a need
for the State of Montana to assume
some responsibility for fire protec-
ton on private lands adjacent to state
forest land. He said Montana is cal
most singular" in the fact that this
state has never participated in the
protection of private lands. Plans
elsewhere in the country are based on
part participation by the state and
part by the private land owner, ac-
cording to the US Forester. Tebbe's
committee had proposed amendments
for presentation to the council.
Schoknect compared forest pests
to forest fires, except, he said,
"there is no smoke, they are insidi-
GUS. and you can not tell they are
there until you see the trees turn
brown"
One of the first steps In pest con-
troll. said the j. Neils manager, is to
declare forest pests public nuisance.
He stressed the need to clarity the
law by definition.

Reports TO You From

WASHINGTON - With probably
only three or four weeks remaining
until Congress adjourns, the pace of
committee and floor action is being
speeded to take care of the vast mass
of legislation which this session has
produced. The Middle East crisis
adds to the mounting Congressional
pressures. and the steamy August
weather in Washington will add to
those pressures. Result is apt to be
some unusually hectic sessions. l
hope Congress will not allow ill-ad-
vised legislation to be enacted in the
scramble. | shall personally try to
carefully evaluate, from source ma
terial and from letters, the value and
views on each measure presented.
ropriation-Aiong with other
members of the Montana delegation,
/ have been working for certain in
creases in the appropriation for the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare. Congress has now approx
ed and sent to the President the HEW
appropriation bill, which includes an
increase in the rural library services
program, an increase in the water pol
luton control program of major in
terest to many Montana cities and
81 million increase, to $1,750,000, for
the Joint Indian-community hospital
construction program provided in my
Indian Hospitals Bill which passed
Congress last session and was signed
into Public Law ISL. The Poplar
Wolf Point area has No. l priority in
the nation for such hospital construc-
ton, and Poison ranks high also, so
immediate federal aid for these prof.
ects may be possible.

the last legislature, in House Reso-
luton No. 6, acknowledged the in
efficiency and insufficiency of the
current budget-making processes as
provided under the controller law, by
saying it " :. does not reflect actual
needs of various departments of
state.''
HR directed the legislative inter
i'm committee propose legislation
making the Comptroller responsible
to the Governor, and make it
possible for said Comptroller to sub
nit budget to future Legislative
Sessions based more nearly on actual
need"
The comptroller law presently re-
quires the controller to: 1. set forth
anticipated income; 2. list depart
ment dollar requests; 8. list how much
money there will be for that depart
ment. Controllers in the past have
taken percentage cut on depart
ment budgets without regard for
need-and each department received
the arbitrary percentage cut from it's
request.
This was valueless to the legisla-
ture because it gave them no idea as
to what the needs of the department
were, and the legislature had no time
for investigation.

1t points to one outstanding con-
clusion. The country has been living
off of it's fat. When personal income
payments can increase in the face
of a recession in which unemploy-
ment is around 100000, industrial
production down Is percent from a
year earlier, and freight carloadings
off 10 percent, it is obvious that a
very fat surplus is being consumed.
Another conclusion is that the i'm
pact of recession has hardly begun to
be felt by great many people. But,
if recession continues throughout the
year, the surplus eventually will be
reduced. and economic suffering will
spread out and increase.
There was very slight pickup in
industrial production in May about
which much to do was made; but this
was offset by increases in many
wholesale and retail prices.
THE INCOME STREAM
Just how a high stream of per-

income stream higher in May than
in dividends, personal inter
est payments, and transfer payments.
1t was the rich and the poor only
who received proportionally more.
This was the Eisenhower welfare
state.
MONEY LENDERS PROFIT
Payments of personal interest in
come at a rate of Sill billion higher
in May than a year earlier was only
slightly less than the total increase
of all personal income for the month,
which was SIP billion. The higher
rate of payments for farmers was
offset by decreases of the annual
rate for business and professional
men and women of $500 million,
drop of 500 million in rental in
comes, and decline in the dividend
payment rate of $500 million.
But the money lenders did well.
Personal income payments, however
do not reflect the earnings of banks,
which enter into the personal income
stream mostly through bank divi-
dends.
SMALL BUSINESS HIT
AS a result of the Administration
tight money policy the bankers rolled
up record high earnings. The June
Federal Reserve Bulletin reports
earnings of FRS member banks at
$2,549 million before taxes, and
81, 169 million after taxes. This rep
resents earnings of 1871 percent and
8.3 percent on invested capital before
and after taxes respectively. 1t also

ings of 80 percent over 1853, the
first year of the Eisenhower Admin
This was the real payoff
for getting Ike the nomination.
On the other hand, the profits of
small manufacturing units during the
first quarter of 1858, taken as a
whole, were completely wiped out.
In fact, the Securities and Exchange
mmission-Federal Trade Commits
sion joint report just published shows
a deficit of $24 million in earnings
for the manufacturing group with
assets of $25O,O0O, or less. Taken to-
gether, manufacturing concerns with
assets of $1,000,O0O or less for the
first quarter this year reported total
net profits after taxes of $40, 100000,
as against $181, 100000 for the like
