School Oil Land Leases

HB All, by Devier ct al, had it been en-
acted, would have given the State an oppor-
tunity to administer school oil land leases in
a manner to provide much greater financial
return for the operation of Montana's public
schools. This bill provided: l. forever lease
which would be reviewed every 10 years to
determine whether the schools were receiving
the same oil royalty as was being paid by oil
companies on comparable private leases in
the state; g the mechanics for releasing of
expiring 20-year oil and gas leases (some-
thing which the state presently is without),
which would have allowed the schools to get
full market value at public auction and would
have permitted the State Land Board to ac-
cept bidding on a royalty basis if it seemed
desirable; 8. exchange of 20-year leases for
forever-type leases before the term of the
original lease expired HB Att went through

School Grazing Land Rentals

Both Reps Bardanouve (D-Blaine) and
Leuthold (R-Stillwater) introduced bills aimed
at substantially increasing the much below
going-rate rentals stockmen are paying for
school grazing lands. Their measures were
voided in favor of House committee bill.
Both men then successfully steered the sub
stitute (Sub. HB 426) through the House,
65-1e. S. HB 426 proposed raising state
rentals to what Leuthold termed somewhat
comparable to private rates :" The meas
ure provided for increasing such rentals to
an average of rs cents per animal unit month
from the existing average of 25 cents per
AUM. Stockman Bardanouve, state grazing
land lessee, said that "75 cents per AUM
grazing fee is very. reasonable and pointed
out that the new rate would increase school
grazing lands income from one half million
dollars to S1.5 million per year. The House
gave overwhelming agreement. The story was
different in the "Stockmen's Club. Sen.
Keller's public lands committee was in favor
of burying the bill in committee but the pres
sure too intense. Finally, they, backed
by the Senate informed the House they
would go for IL cents per AUM increase
or nothing. Several conference committees
resulted and from those finally came the
present schedule which Rep. Bardanouve told
the House he recommending with a
feeling of shame" that they accept. For 1860
only the schools will receive an average of
So cents per AUM. After that the rental will +.
drop back to 40 cents per AUM or less Thus
because the strong stockmen bloc in the
Senate placed personal interests above the
welfare of the children of Montana. they
and their fellow stockmen having school
leases will continue to have very substan-.
tial subsidy in operating their spreads.

HB 426 is carried in the "box score". eyes"
votes were for bringing school grazing rentals
more into line with those paid for comparable
privately owned grazing lands

THE DAYTIME SPEED LIMIT
CONTROVERSY

The Democratic majority of the Legislature
has received considerable castigation for fail
ure to either set maximum daylight speed
law, or to continue to permit the Highway
Commission to set a statewide speed zone
For your information the present absence
of daytime limit is due to a strictly BIZ
partisan effort.
Rep Bardanouve's proposed 65-mph day
time limit bill (HB 14) passed the House
1924 with 46 Demos, 16 Republicans and
one Independent supporting the bill Thirteen
Republicans, 10 Democrats and one Independ-
ent opposed passage. In the Senate, HB IA
went down on acceptance of an adverse COM

seeking record vote in any effort to ever

IN THE SENATE-SOME WERE
DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY


DEMOCRATS IN NAME ONLY
The Senate-although as heavily Demo
cratic as the House-was quite another story
Many Democrats, by their votes, showed q
complete unawareness of major planks in
their party's 1858 platform. What few legis.
lative improvements that survived the upper
chamber were in various instances consider
ably watered down. This was particularly true
of legislation aimed at moderate improve
ments in unemployment compensation, work
mems compensation, and school grazing land
leasing rates.
The Senate did originate a reasonably good
occupational disease bill which survived every
hurdle and is now law. Also, in the Senate
a first solid step toward a comprehensive
lobbyist registration act was given the ini-
tial go-ahead. 1t, too, is now law.
A GIBRALTER FOR THE BIG TRUCKERS
Governor j. Hugo Aronson proved to be
the granite rock on which the hopes of pro-
gressive legislation which did survive both
legislative chambers, were dashed into bits.
The big over-the-road truckers had their
faith renewed in the Governor when he vetoed
weight-distance truck taxing legislation. This
bill, patterned after the highly successful
Oregon law which has been in operation for
IL years, would have assisted materially in
achieving greater equity IN highway cost re-
sponsibility between the various types of high
way users
The Governor also took very dim view of
improvements in unemployment and work
mems compensation legislation for all of the
fact his party's House membership had joined
the Demo majority in voting overwhelmingly
for improvements in both programs. His
veto of both pieces of legislation stopped
any improvements in either act in the 1859
session, in spite of initiation daily reducing

tanans who are either unemployed dis

HEADLINE-sEEKING PLAYED DOWN

Several Investigations were conducted dur
ing the 1859 session. These included: opera
tion of the Highway Department, the Gov
ernor's mansion, purchasing department and
the parole system.
Much effort was put in in ferreting out
facts. Credit and blame were given without
regard to party lines Recommendations were
made for legislative or departmental changes
when, in the determination of the various
committees, such revisions were needed to
improve governmental operation.
Notceably lacking from the reports of the
various committees was any tendency by leg
islators to "play to the headlines, to use such
Investigations personal political vehicles.

ID WERE, IN TRUTH, REPUBLICANS
WITH "SOUTHERN ACCENTS"
In the 1859 Legislative session as in past
sessions, there existed a Republican-Democrat
coalition not dissimilar to the -Dxiecrat
combine in the national Congress. This CO.
alition worked most smoothly at times and
cut by several the numerical Democratic
majority.
Democrats, who for legislative purposes,
behaved like Republicans much of the time,
were:
House: Angstman of Hill, Bashor of Toole,
Curry, Morrison and Regan of Cascade, Lees
of Yellowstone, and Loughran and Shea of
Silver Bow;
Senate: Goodwin of Broadwater, Keller of
Saltwater Lehrknd of Gallatin; Manning

HOUSE MADE SUBSTANTIAL RECORD


After being caught off guard on the above
two measures, the overwhelmingly Democratic
House majority, under the leadership of
Speaker John Macdonald, settled down and
made substantial record in approving much
worthwhile, progressive legislation with COM
paratively few "slip-ups" such as the Loan
Shark legalizing measure (HB 13) and the
''Ma and Pa,' antilabor bill (HB416).
The Chief Clerk of the House lobbied 416
through both houses for his own personal busi-
ness reasons. Already this punitive measure,
which in Senate debate provided Senator Will
son (Toole) with an opportunity to malign
Montana labor under the cloak of senatorial
immunity, has given a number of employers
who resist collective bargaining and payment
of wage scales compatible with minimum
standards of decency an opportunity to harass
local unions in their legitimate activities.
HB 416's principal sponsor was Rep Nc
Garvey (D-Flathead) who, otherwise, had
achieved good labor record in his two legis-
lative sessions. Sen. Reardon (D-Silver Bow
was the only Senator with courage enough
to stand upon the Senate floor in opposition

DEMOS DID ATTEMPT TO MEET
PRESSING REVENUE PROBLEM

Tax-wise, and all reports to the contrary,
the Democratic majority did attempt to face
up to the problems of ever-increasing state
governmental costs in as equitable manner
as possible.
The one hundred -milion-dollar budgetary
requests presented by the Governor for the
various departments was, wisely or unwisely,
cutback to approximately $75 million.
The Legislature, to meet the increased need
for revenue, placed emphasis on increasing
taxes on "an ability to pay' basis-including
individual income tax levies and corporation
license tax rates. Taking cognizance of the
impact of increasing living costs on lower
income brackets particularly, the income tax
the first one thousand dollars of taxable
income was left at the long standing one
per cent rate
General sales tax legislation never once
entered the picture as the Demo majority of
the House Ways & Means Committee strug-
gled to find the additional money needed to
operate the state government this biennium.

THE "FACELESS" SENATE

This last session, it was not possible to
make as definitive an analysis of the Senate
as in past sessions, although, the seven votes
in this record on which the Senate had to take
a position do give some guidance as to the
worth of each Senator. The 1859 Senate ap-
peared firmly welded to the notion that the
people back home did not have a right to
know how their Senators stood many con-
troversial issues-such as minimum wage,
revision of school oil leasing laws, needed
railroad safety legislation, etc. Result was
that many such pieces of legislation were
killed by either voice vote or unrecorded
standing vote.
The heaviy-Democratic House got off to
shaky start, its members having permitted
themselves to be stampeded into voting against
legislation to permit Montana to participate
in the federal program to extend unemploy-
ment compensation benefits an additional IL
weeks, and barely passing the $1.00 an hour
minimum wage proposal Both items were
pledges made in the 1868 Democratic plat
form. Rep. Casey (D-Lewis & Clark led the
fight to kill extension of jobless compensa-
ton. AS the session progressed, Casey paid
more attention to his party's platform and
ended the 6O-day period with reasonably
good 'box score.
