DR.. Earl Hall, Great Falls, attended
the Monday meeting until IL 10 am.
The boards Monday night session was
spent trying to get him to come back.
He couldn't come at that time and
wasn't sure he could return for the

was "busy getting candidates to in

DR.. Hall is an obstetrician.
The to 2 vote (Hall absent, Aron-

Popham motion to accept the Nc
Farland resignation, which was sec

from Merritt N. Warden, Kalispell,

to be 5.44 percent. Middleton dis
agreed with the Knappen theories.
The majority of the commission
disagreed with both DR.. Knappen and
DR.. Langum on the question of what
a proper capital structure should be
for MST&T. Knappen said the COM
pany should have SO percent debt
capital and so percent common stock
capital. Langum said 35 percent debt
was proper. The commission found
that the company's present % per-
cent debt ratio imposed a hardship
upon the ratepayers and was costly
from a tax standpoint. Smith and
Armstrong ruled that the proper cap
ital structure should be 45 per cent
debt and 55 per cent common stock.
Middleton contended that the COM
mission had no legal right to adjust
a utility's capital structure in COM
putting the cost of capital.
Smith and Armstrong said the
company could have realized a tax
saving of $162, 2,647 if it had proper
debt ratio.

Above the Courts

There is a missing link in the Con-
stltut1on. The courts have no power to
restrain Congress or the Executive
Branch even where their action seems
insane.
By this mornings MONTANA STAND
ARD (April 30) it appears that yester-
day the Senate voted 81 to to increase
the pay of the Big Brass by a gross
of $l07 million. There are million
unemployed. This would mean $107 for
each of them. There is no depression
for the Pentagon Pets.
Congress also decided to build 2 lux
ury liners by contract in private ship
yards for 5000 million to be sold to
private companies for $S1 million. The
unemployed should buy stock in the
corporation getting this graft of $119
million-and from the profit take their
families for a junket to Europe on the
luxury liners.
If the directors of business corpora
tion or labor union did a stunt like
this the courts would kick them out of
office and into jail
Scientists and other peace advocates
have brought suit for an injunction
against the government to prevent the
hydrogen bomb tests, which poison with
fall-out of Strontium 90, the atmosphere
of the entire world. 1t increases cancer.
1t causes children of healthy parents

Ine suit Will OF course be spit on and
rubbed off the slate by the courts but
the gesture is a good one-showing
the common man how helpless we COM
mon people are to prevent the perilous
Pentagon Pantomins.
There is no certainty that the courts
would have the courage to prevent
these abuses if they could. Stockmen
sued for death of cattle and sheep
near the tests in Nevada. They lost the
suits before U. S. judges.

that Quakers in California put up 8

Prominent Citizens Organize To
Oppose 'Right-to-Work' Drive

Chairman Williams said.
This mis-called 'right-to-work'
proposal is a threat not only to
working people but to farmers,
businessmen, and everyone else who
has stake in sound and prosper
Gus economy based on orderly bar
gaining procedures. The alternative
is not right to work, but an op-
portunity for working people to be
disorganized, disfranchised and dis
inherited.
"Our committee is concerned to
protect and improve the general econ
omy. In the public interest, we de-
plore the current attack on one seq
ment of Montana's population. To
combat recession and to face the
unprecedented challenge of the space
age, we must seek amity and unity.
Selfish, punitive expeditions like the
right t-to-work' movement are a dis
service to Montana and to the nation" Z"
The committee will interview appli-
cants for the position of executive Sec
retary, and will open an office soon
in one of Montana's principal cities,
Chairman Williams said. Additional
members of the committee will be an
nounced when the permanent organi-

The majority of the commission

reproduction theory in its 45-page
order. After making the deductions,
it set the fair value figure at $780,
100000.
After disallowing $82, ,236 in "spec-
ial charges as expense items, Smith
and Armstrong found that the COM
pany's net earnings were $2,045,928
for the year. 1t then applied this to
the rate base to determine a rate of
return of 5.56 percent.
Middleton declared that this rate
of return was unreasonable and that
the company was entitled to a return
of between 6 and percent.
The return granted in the 1868
order was 5.8 percent.
Smith and Armstrong agreed with

were granted in 1948, 1851, 1852
and 1868. The 1868 case was con-
tested in the courts and the higher
rates were upheld by the Montana
Supreme Court on April 16, 1857.
Neither Smith nor Armstrong
was a member of the commission
when the 1858 increases were
grant
The commissions order found the
gross "fair value" of the MST&T
Montana property to be $40,500,000.
The company had urged valuation
on its reproduction cost new less de-
preciation figure of $52, 1000.
Smith and Armstrong made certain
deductions from their adopted figure,
disallowing plant under construction,
working capital and other items on
the ground that the ratepayer should
not be required to pay return on
them.
Middleton disagreed with the valua-
tion of the majority and contended
that it was contrary to past pro-
cedure and failed to give adequate
weight to the reproduction theory.
