Harvey A. Sartorius and George J.

result of a recent $17,25O contract
with Ebasco the pair are consulting
for the department for four or five
months over ten-month period.
Ezasco Services is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Electric Bond and Share
which has enormous Industrial and
utility holdings. Sartorius and New
mayer sold the highway commission

from a pool of 5000 engineers, con-
structors and business consultants,
maintained by Ebasco Services.
Ebasco Services had rented a couple
of these guys to the Washington

project so the 1,700-employee high
way department decided they needed
some of this Tobasco sauce (slips

Sartorius and Newmayer have had

from all top officials and the COM

Their work includes making recon-

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

Which is really neither here nor
there on the question of Western
Life creating what has been termed
"phoney issue" on taxes.
can not help but bark back to the
day following election when the mines
closed down in Butte, three years ago.
If Olsen had been elected Governor
then, many people figure they would
have said that was the reason.
We gotta keep our heads. Mon
tana's tax structure is basically good.
Our weakness is not our tax struc-
ture but our economic structure.
There is no doubt we could do some
revision and bring some parts of the
tax structure more in line with the
Goth Century, and apply it to our
changing economy to better advan-
tage, but to change the basic struc-
ture could be disasterous. Those who
are falling into the trap set and
baited for them would be leading us
toward such things as "head" taxes,
meller-dramer, huh?
Whether there is need for special
session or not l could not say. The
Governor and his political cohorts
were very disturbed about the tax
increases. They could apply the ''busi-
ness administration" they ran for
election on and in the narrow legal
sense they could live within the in
come they find the legislature left
them with, and prove there was no
need for increased taxes.
Granted this would ignore infla-
lion, increased costs and the financial
facts of life. But it is their conten-
ion that the legislature was "spend-
thrift" not mine. The Governor said
lie signed the increased tax measures
with a knife at his throat. Real
lramer-meller, huh?
He is administrator and executive,
md he may have his choice-live
within the income-or call special
ession.

Loan Sharks Will Be
Back For More In 1861
Mr.. Harry Billings
n1, W.T.;

Peoples Voice
Hello:
At the time that the recent Legisla-
ture was bowling to the will of the
Syndicated Loan Sharks, and voting to
legaliZe thievery to the tune of SO and
4S per cent up (and mostly upward)
interest rates on secured loans in Mon
tana on amounts up to one thousand
dollars, I predicted that they would
be back at future sessions asking fu-
ture Legislators to raise the loan limit.
(They couldn't raise the interest rates
any higher, for this HB 123 that re-
pealed our State Usury Law, will ac-
tually permit interest - and other
charges-that will exceed 400%.)
To prove that I knew what I was
talking about, the State of Washington
where the Syndicated Loan Sharks
had previously been successful in en-
acting a similar go plus law-has at
this present session just increased the
amounts that can be loaned at these
excessive rates, by another $4,000.
This was done in SB 218.
The way that the Loan Sharks con-
trolled and manipulated the recent
Montana Legislature and Governor was,
and is Montana's shame, and a crime
for which Montanans will pay dearly

| With the announcement that West
ern Life Insurance Company is leav-
ing Montana because of the adverse
tax structure" there has been what
verges on panic in some quarters
about need for revision and review
of our tax structure.
Before we let ourselves be pushed
clear off the gangplank I think we
should indulge in little sober reflec-
| ton.
First. someone should bust the
bubble about Western Life leaving
because of the adverse tax struc-
ture". 1t has been accepted, around
this part of the country anyhow, that
Western Life would be moving, from
the time they were taken over by
the St. Paul Company, and were no
longer a Montana-controlled corpora
ton. The announcement they were
moving was no surprise, but there
has been some shock that they would
use the tax situation in such de-
moralizing manner.
Driving past their fine new build
ing here the other night a friend
said, 'I wonder what Western Life
will do with their beautiful build
ing". My reaction was, 'rent it out
to people who have more faith in
Montana than they have.
Just reading statement someone
has made it is not always possible
to know the exact tone it is intended
to convey, but State Insurance Com
missioner John Holmes could have
had tongue in cheek" when he said {: |
"The wonder is that Western
Life has succeeded in making
such marvellous progress in the
face of so many handicaps".
There is much ado about the ma
tional average" premium tax being
f.97 per cent. Bear in mind that in
reaching an average there must be
higher as we'll as lower amounts, and
% hundreths of one per cent higher
5han the national average" isn't such
an extreme amount of difference,
and some states may have other and
added taxes besides premium taxes,
90.
doubt if any amout of tax ''dis-
lster relief" would keep Western Life
n Montana. The St. Paul outfit is
alling the turns.
Their payroll and jobs will be
missed in Helena and Montana. Thank {
1od there are many businesses and
'eople here that though they may
york for better tax advantage will
lot fold their tents and pull out
The propaganda put out by West
rn Life will in the long run do much
1ore damage to Montana than the
oss of their physical demise from the
tate scene. This lack of faith in the c
tate will spread. 1t will reach far;
Montana people could feel the
eason was valid and not just propa-
anda if would make the whole thing
asier, because it could be corrected.
There is a rumor that Montana
over is going to move their head f.
uarters to Helena-and presently d
lere is speculation that they will L
