'The recent revaluation proposal

These low values are a direct inn

constitute direct evasion of a fair

Utility Tax Cut Controversy T..
People Forced
To Pay Twice;

HAMILTON-Roy Tillman, Ravalli
county assessor, sharply answered
criticism of the county commissioners
by w. J. Winters, chairman of the
State Board of Equalization, as the
dispute over the states reduction of
public utility assessed valuations con-
tinued to grow.
Tillman called Winters criticism of
the local officials opposition to the
reduction "as unfair to the commits
sioners and people of Ravalli county
as the reduction in valuation was to
the people of the county and state"
First of all, it was not Ravalli
county in particular but the whole
western district of county commits
sioners, meeting at Missoula, who
stated opposition TO the equalization
boards action of cutting utility COM
pany taxes through these reductions.
County commissioners and county
assessors throughout the state have
voted opposition because they know
when the taxes of these wealthy utili-
ties are lowered the difference must
be made up by other taxpayers who
already paid the costs of these taxes
in advance to the utilities in their
rates for electricity, in their telephone
bills, in their freight and transporta-
tion charges" Tillman said.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE ROLE
GROWING IN IMPORTANCE

Wava L. Dixon explained that, with
the introduction of tranquillizers in
the treatment of mental health cases,
the role of the public health nurse
is becoming prime factor in the
conquest of the disease.
The public health nurse in her role
of professional friend of the fam
ily'' can get other information not
available to the social worker or
teams working on case. She can
give help to other members of the
family by alerting the other services
which may have aid to offer.
The nurse is the key in the new
referral system now used by the State
Hospital. Not only is she becoming
active in the prereferral reporting

A proposed so per cent in
crease on the so cent individual
liquor permits to create a Com
mission on Alcoholism met
heated resistance Monday at
the quarterly meeting of the
Narcotics and Alcoholism adj
visory committee to the Board
of Health.
This plan would raise the $4,000
required to hire director and five
field agents. They would get COM
munities to establish local centers
for education, information, treatment
and rehabilitation.
The plan is the first concrete pro-
posal of action the advisors have had
to offer the Board of Health and is
of such Importance a special meeting
has been called for February 1 to
make decision on its merits.
Instead of establishing a separate
commission the proposed plan calls
for an integrated governing board
composed of existing officers. The
twelve member commission would
have a psychiatrist for chairman. The
other members would be the superin-
tendent of the State Hospital, execu-
tive director of the Board of Health,
administrator of the Department of
Public Welfare, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, a recovered al
cohoic, clergyman, and representa-
tives of the hospitals, judges, organ
lied labor and industry.
The executive director of the COM
mission would preferably be a re-
covered alcoholic with business adj
and public relations ex-
perience. The function of his office
would be to act as a public informa-
tion center and provide educational
for the community field
men. The field men are to create
teams of specialists to work on the
communities alcohol problems. They
would be located tentatively in
Great Falls, Butte, Billings
and Miles City.

commission would replace the func-
tion of the advisory committee. Pro-

The question came up as result
of a Public Welfare Department rul-
ing some months ago that striking
members of the International Union
of Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers
were eligible for only so per cent of
the public assistance allowed to others
seeking relief on comparable basis
of need. Mine-Mill took the matter
to court. District Judge T. e. Downey
of Butte ruled that need, not the
reason therefore, was the determin-
ing factor and ordered the Welfare
to treat strikers the same as all other
recipients of public assistance. The
Welfare Board appealed Downey's
decision to the State Supreme Court.
THE QUESTION: ARE STRIKERS
ENTITLED TO EQUALITY?
Justice Hugh Adair, in writing the
majority decision said that "the ques-
ton presented to this court 'by the
Welfare Boards appeal from a ruling

In 1859 MISC student fees averaged

student fees in this decade have
gone up more than 240 per cent
while per capita income has increased
less than 20 per cent. Similar in

Of particular interest is that for

cover the MISC field house, Student
Union building, Health Service build
