Legislation to compel the large
over-the-road trucks to pay their fair
share of the cost of constructing and
maintaining Montana highways made
it through both houses, only to be
vetoed by the Governor. Sub. HB
228 by the House Committee on High
ways and Transportation, exempted
farm trucks, loggers, some other We
hicles which haul full loads only part
of the time, from the mills per mile
fee schedules, leaving those vehicles
on flat gross vehicle weight fees.
Flat fees for those vehicles, research
showed, took care of their highway
cost responsibility. The bill was aimed
at upwards of four thousand over
the-road trucks and tractor-trailer
combinations, which, under present
GVW schedule, are largely subsidized

House Turned Down Top Court Packing

For the second consecutive session,
Legislators have indicated they have
no desire to take from the people
the right to vote on candidates of
their choice for State Supreme
Court. A product of the bar associa-
ton, the proposal known as the Mis-
souri, Plan' and the Moscow Plan"
would give the Governor the right
to name top court justices. Once on
the bench, justices would have no
opposition when they ran for re-
election; the voters having to content
themselves with a plebesite-type of
balloting-either for or against the
incumbent justice. If he failed of
election, then the Governor would
appoint an attorney to fill vacancy
created to serve until next election.
In 1857, the House killed such
proposed constitutional amendment,
48-44. This year the vote was SO to
80 in opposition. This years bill,
HB 23O, was introduced by Ander-
son, Felt, Gerard and Cavan, all Re-
publicans, and Angstman, Democrat.

Senate Bill 29 by Croft, MCGOWAN,

lister with the Secretary of State, and
list the names of those by whom they
are employed. SB 20 also defines
"unprofessional conduct, unfair and
unethical lobbying practices, provides

demeanors. Exemptions from the act

Two sessions in a row advocates
of establishing a Wheat Commission
have failed to secure favorable legis-
lative action. Opponents have each
time successfully contended that the
Extension Service and Montana State
College are already carrying. on re-
search into improving wheat strains
and that setting up a commission
would amount to (1) another state
bureau of doubtful value, (2) crea-
ton, for all intents and purposes, of
another farm organization subsidized
via tax collections. This years wheat
commission proposal called for every
grain grower having to pay one
fourth of cent bushel tax to fl
nance the commissions activities.
The grain millers would have been
the chief beneficiaries, would have
had representative on the commits
sion, but wouldn't have put a single
cent into the commissions opera
tions.
The bill, HB 251, was sponsored
by Leuthold, Hanks, Reeder, Nees,
Sales, Higham and Aasheim. 1t was
killed in the House, 47-38. The roll
call follows:

Taxing Of Farmer
Coon Income

A strenuous effort was made by
Rep. Felt and others to impose the
corporation license tax on the non
existent net income of farmer-owned
marketing and supply co-ops. A pub
lie hearing on HB 65-the coop tax
bill-brought out that such co-opera-
tives have no net income; that all
overpayments by patron-owners Of
such enterprises belong to the pa
irons and not the cooperative.
Although there are 13 types of
businesses and associations, includ-
ing labor unions, chambers of COM
merce, rural electric co-ops, building
and loans, mutual insurance compa-
nies, religious organizations, as well
as farmer co-ops, exempted from cor
porate license tax, HB 65 would have
removed the exempt status of only
the farner-owned businesses.
Sponsors of .HB 65, besides Felt,
were Anderson, Battin, Hawks, Ca
van, Flare, Howard, Haines (Mis-
soula), Paulsen, Powell, Babcock,
Elting, Morrison and Kiff.
