Helena Labor Vote
Campaign Adds 1873
To Registration List

Of 1887 names of members earlier
submitted to the Helena Trades &
Labor Council registration committee
by affiliated and other unions, at
least 900 are now eligible to vote
in the November general election,
according to Lewis j. Teddy of the
councils registration committee.
When the voter registration drive
got underway few weeks ago, of
the 1927, only 857 were registered.
Checking and cross-checking, along
with the work of Mr.. Teddy, Mrs.
Susan Dean of the State AFL-CIO
and two co-workers, brought in the
1873 added voters registering through
the committee.
In addition, it is believed that
number of other members of labor
went directly to the court house to
register. Possibly a hundred of the
1 ,237 are not eligible because of (1)
being under 21 years of age, (2) not
having resided in the state for year.
The registration committee be-
lieves that approximately 80 per
cent of the 1927 names checked are
now on the registration roles.
The names checked included MEM
oers of Hodcarriers & Building La
oorers, Painters, Printers, Pressmen,
Workers, BARRIERS, Hotel &
Restaurant Employees, Bartenders,
Plumbers, Teamsters, Retail Clerks,
Carpenters, Laundry

tion of Teachers. Chairman McNelis
is longtime active member of Butte
Teachers Union.
In reaffirming the committees
opposition to any form of general
sales tax, Miss McNelis stated that
committee concensus is that the
sales tax ignores the principle of
ability to pay in its entirety and
burdens low income citizens unduly
hard . :"
She said the committee proposes
that the Legislature consider these
revenue sources (which do follow
the ability-to-pay principle:
1. Intangible property, such as
stocks and bonds and savings bank
are property and subject
to property taxes.
2. The leasehold value of private
leases of federal, state, county or
