ject to review by the State Land
Board at the end of each 10-year
period, in order to determine, if the
schools are receiving full market value
from the lease. Value of the lease
would be determined by the Land
Board after taking into consideration
all royalties and rentals currently be-
ing paid by the oil industry for COM
parable property anywhere in Mon
tana. After making such determina-
ton, if it is found that the oil indus
try is paying more in royalties and
rentals for comparable property, then
the State Land Board shall notify the
lessee of such determination and,
after hearing, shall amend the royal
ty and rental provision of said lease;
provided, however, that if the lessee
refuses to accept the terms of the new
lease, then the lease shall be declared
null and void and shall be advertised
for bid
HB 472 would restore to the Land
Board the authority to terminate any
lease "at the end of the second year
or any subsequent year of the primary
(10-year) term of the lease" if a
lessee has failed to drill on a lease
lying within or adjacent to an oil and
gas field'. AS an alternative to can
collation. the lessee would either have
to: 1, commence drilling Immediately,
or 2, pay delayed drilling penalty
of such amount as the Land Board
'in its absolute discretion" determines
to be just.
Also pending in House committee
is HB 80 by Helding and Tonner
which would knock out the 12K
per cent maximum royalty on the
first 5000 barrels of oil production
per month from a state school lease.

S. Million Bond
Issue for State
Prison Proposed

Voters of Montana will be asked
to approve or reject SIS million bond
issue for rebuilding the State Prison,
should HB 424 by Wood, Barnard and
Howard successfully make it's way
through the legislative mill.
This proposal is in line with the
recommendation made by the Mon
tana Legislative Council, following a
study of the prison ordered in 1857
Legislature by Rep. Barnard, Sen.
Cumming, Sen. Streeter and Sen. Mac
kay.
Having in mind the gradual mov-
ing of main prison facilities to the
32,000-acre prison ranch from main
street Deer Lodge, money raised by
the bond issue would "be used for
the purpose of constructing and equip
ping necessary buildings and other
permanent improvements :"
Bonds would have to be paid off on
or before end of a 20-year period.
They would be sold at an interest rate
not exceeding four per cent.
To finance the proposal the people
of Montana would be asked to vote
one mill ad valorem levy, which would
raise approximately $625,0O0 a year.
Cosponsors Wood and Howard were
also members of the Legislative In
terim Council established by the 1857
session.

House Report Asks Probe
or Power Co. Propaganda

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(RED-
A House Government Operations
Committee report has called for a
congressional investigation of cleo
trio power company propaganda ad-
vertising, and urged Congress con-
slider amending the Internal Revenue
Code to prohibit the deduction of
such expenses from income taxes.
The preliminary report, released
last month, calls for "full-scale joint
investigation by both houses to deter
mine whether or not there is an or
ganized effort of the private power
companies to influence the Federal
Administration, the Congress, the
governments of the states and the
political life of the nation.
A warning was issued two years
ago by the same committee. The
new Status report says such an
inquiry ''is still essential and
sound. The report hits at power
companies use of distorted factual
material amounting to dishonest
presentations.
Committee recommendation two
years ago prevailed on the companies
to eliminate such practices through
their own efforts. But the report
says, "The electric. power companies
have continued and in recent months
have expanded :"
The Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue has ruled that propaganda ad-
vertising expenses cannot be charged
off as operating expenses by the
companies.
Meanwhile this matter is currently |
before the full Federal Power Com
which is hearing the case
of 76 power companies involved in
the ECAP program. Attorneys for the
companies want FPC to furnish a

"As practical example Of the eff
feet of this bill on Montana individual
taxpayers" Rep. Schwinden points
out, ga family of five with $4,000
adjusted gross income carried over
from the federal return, now pays
$9.40. This figure assumes that de-
ductions amount to about 20 per cent
of adjusted gross income. Under HB
315 this family would pay S11.75, or
an increase of $2.35.
"In the case of the same family of
five with $4,000 adjusted gross in
come, the tax would be $96.4O under
present rates and $40 under the
new rate.
The estimated additional revenue
this proposal would bring in to the
state has not yet been determined,

amount of revenue needed to meet
legislative appropriations is not known

countered by asserting that before
many years they'll make General
Motors look like peanuts :"
Lead-off spokesman introduced by
Proponents NC, Rep. George Morri-
son (D-Cascade), was Howard VraL
stad, supervisor of corporation license
tax division of State Board of Equal
zation. Vralstad, pointing out that
he was strictly neutral, briefly re-
viewed cooperative corporation law,
and pointed out that HB IS would
affect only farmers marketing and
supply co-operatives. He said that
many co-ops do not meet exemption
requirements and therefore are sub
ject to payment of the license tax.
Main theme of other proponents
of HB IS was that it would help to
bring about "tax equality" between
farmer co-operatives and privately
owned competitive businesses. Other
proponents, by and large, centered
their fire on the large regional co-ops,
which they labeled as "psuedo co-ops"
minimizing the effect the bill would
have on small local co-operatives.
Bob Kennedy, Minneapolis, repre-
senting F. H. Peavey Co., Twin Cities
grain company, while not speaking di-
rectly on HB 65, stated that such
legislation is "a very hot subject,
and then told the committee that the
grain trade and the entire food in
dustry is becoming extremely com
petitive. He claimed the privately
owned grain company is at a great
disadvantage in competing with Farm
ers Union Grain Terminal Associa-
ton, because of what he alleged to be
a "tax inequity" in favor of the CO.
operative marketing agency.

The hearing was held by the House
Ways and Means Committee and was
presided over by Committee Chair
man John Emmons (D-Deer Lodge).

life, speaking on rebuttal (when
opponents of House Bill 65 had no
further opportunity to reply, cast
doubt on whether coop stock certifi-

praised by various testimony from
opponents of the bill that Associated
Press and Railway Express, although
not included as fair game for taxa
tion purposes under HB 65, are CO.

know that Farmer co-operatives are
not the only serpents under the car
pet :"
He asked: "Where are Farmer Un-
ion co-ops going?" and then con-
tended the ordinary folks who COM
prise what he asserted is a Captive

said he in words which left little to
the imagination, "some of the Farm

not only demanding wage cuts, but
"is even striking for lower wages.

Drive Renewed To
Bring Utilities To
Outlying Patrons

Two years ago Rep. Barnard ID
Valley sought unsuccessfully to have
legislation enacted which would COM
pei utilities to provide service to in
dividuals or communities providing
gross income from such service would
pay out the cost of installation within
five years. His bill, HB 223, went
down to defeat 44-43, as a result Of
intense pressure from the private
utility lobby.
A similar proposal, HB 406, by
Daniels (D-PowelD, is in the hopper
of the 1859 Legislative Assembly.
Under the Daniels bill, a public
utility upon written request for
service by group of not less than 20
prospective consumers lying within
an area capable of being served by
single (gas) main and further being
within five miles of any main line
or gas service connection outlet :"
would have to make a free connection
to provide service, providing ". :.
the estimated gross income for the
first five years from said group of
customers shall equal or
exceed the cost of such extension :"
If the gross revenue did not equal
installation cost by end of five year
period, the consumers would have to
make up the difference to the utility.
