0sfeopathie Practice
Bill introduced In Senate

Legislation to broaden the field of
practice by osteopathic physicians has
been introduced in the Senate by
Michels, Cotton and McKenna (Fer-
gus).
Senate Bill SO proposes the broad
ening of the medical licensing law in
four important aspects, Sen. Michels
states. These are:
1. Two doctors of osteopathy be
added to the present Board of Medi-
cal Examiners {now consisting of sew
en- doctors of medicine) to make a
nine-member board.
2. The right to examination by the
Board of Medical Examiners be ex-
tended to graduates of institutions
of medical education approved by the
American Osteopathic Association.
3. A committee OF the Board of
Medical Examiners be designated an
approval agency to review the quail
fications of licensed doctors of osteo-
pathy who apply for extended practice
rights, and to grant the right to use
drugs and perform certain minor sur
gerry to those applicants offering sat-
isfactory evidence of competence,
such evidence to include successful
completion of an approved post grad
uate course in the use of drugs and
the performance of minor surgery.
A. The accreditation of medical
hospitals by the American Medical
Association be protected by permit
ting hospitals to limit staff privileges
to doctors of medicine.

Tighter Regulation Of
Utilities Again Sought

will be recalled, lost on 44-44 tie
vote.)
HB 18O under the Public Service
Commissions "Power to deter
mine utility rates (Sec. 70-106, Rev.
Codes of 1947), adds new para
graph to guide the commission. That
paragraph is as follows:
"The Commission, when deter
mining the rates and charges of
public utilities to the consuming
public shall be guided by the reve-
nue. requirements of the public
utility, and the commission must,
from its own investigation and all
the evidence before it, take into
consideration in making its order,
the lawful annual operating ex-
penses of the public utility, the
capital investment and the costs of
the capital embarked in the public
utility or similar public utilities.
Amy rate order made by the COM
mission which returns revenue to
the public utility, in excess of the
revenue requirements of such pub
lie utility, determined in accordance
with the provisions of this section,
shall be deemed unlawful and un-
reasonable"
This added section carries out the
intent of the utility plank of the
1858 Democratic platform which said
the commission must require of all
rate applicants specific and complete
evidence of the operating costs, taxes,
and cost of capital invested as it is
applied to it's Montana operations and
hat legislation provide that before
any rate can be raised, the commits
sion shall determine and make public
/ record of what the public utility has
invested, the actual and necessary cost
If operation, including interest, taxes
md cost of capitaP'.

Public Utility District
Act Proposed In House

| A second measure concerning utlli-
ties is HB 217 by House Utilities Com
mittee Chairman Tonner and IL other
Democrats.
HB PIT is enabling legislation to
permit Montana people to set up Pub
lie Utility Districts, in order to pro-
vide their power and water needs at
lowest possible cost. (See Editorial,
Page A.
The bill, patterned after the highly
successful Washington State PUD
Act, sets up legal machinery for the
people of an area to democratically
decide whether or not they desire to
establish such district or districts for
the purpose of generating and sup
plying their power needs, or for pro-
viding their own water supply.
AS an example, were the Helena
area to set up a PUD district under
HB PIT, it would have a preferential
right to sufficient power generated
at the publicly-owned Canyon Ferry
Dam to meet the community's needs.
The PUD would be able to buy that
power at about mills per kilowatt
hour. (Montana Power now gets it
at dump" rate of 2.5 mills per
kilowatt hour.) Five-mill power means
eventual 1 cent power to residential
consumers compared with 2.7c
average kilowatt hour cost of MPCo.'s
residential patrons.
A public hearing will be held
on HB 217, Wednesday, February
4, Immediately on House adjourn

Sen. Ringing (D-Meagher), moved
to indefinitely postpone action on the

Examiners Appear
Intent On Cutting
Their Work Load

Monday Governor J. Hugo Aron-
son. before he took off to Great Falls
on his ribbon shipping duties for that
city's new underpass, went with Sec
retary of State Frank Murray and
Attorney General Forrest Anderson
to a meeting of the legislative in
vestigators of the Purchasing Depart
ment.
(The South would have won the
Civil War if the great unsung hero
of the time Beauregard Muckenfuss
had only been needed, when Union
troops began their trampling of the
Confederacy. Beauregard's unheeded
advice to the Southern generals was
to burn the crops.)
The Board of Examiners is busily
burning their crop of powers at every
skirmish they have with the Montana
lawmaker sixty-day Union force. The
Controllers Purchasing Department
was urged to take over the boards
claim checking functions. The Exam
iners would even like to dispense with
deficiency expenditures that the Con-
stitution specifics they must handle.
Already the building repairs have
been relegated to the custodian's
budget by the House Appropriations
Committee and other functions of the
board such as Prison Commissioners
are being alleviated by upcoming leg
islation.
Any more cutting of the Examiners
office work load by the Legislature
and the place will become the poll
ticians' dream, honors no work.-F.S.

One Cent Power
Is Coal of New
Organization

One-cent power is a principal goal
of Montana Electric Consumers Coun-
Gil whose articles of incorporation
were filed with Secretary of State
Frank Murray this week.
Incorporators of the non-profit or
ganization are Joe Crosswhite, Kali
spell, business representative of OPP
Grating Engineers Local 371; Eugene
Pike, Missoula, manager Missoula
County Electric Coop; Reps. L. P.
Tonner (D-Flathead), Charles Har-
ball (D-Lake), and Edgar Langston
-Wheatland)
The principal office of the council
will be in Helena.
In organizing, Rep. Tonner, spokes-
man for the incorporators, states that
the council shall seek enactment of
legislation enabling people of various
areas to set up their own power gen.
Grating and distributing systems,
similar to the Public Utility Districts
of Washington and Oregon. In those
two states, he points out, "more and
more communities are securing power
at one cent or less per kilowatt hour"
Placing utmost Importance on de-
veloping the enormous power poten-
tial of Montana at 'lowest possible
COST, the council insists, according
to Tonner, that ''an abundant supply
of low cost power is the surest way
to open new avenues of agricultural
and industrial opportunity and to
provide increased employment for our
population.
I'm addition to working for public
development and distribution of pow
err" the Flathead solon states that
"the council has as another of it's
functions the adoption of watch
dog role on rate increases private
utilities may seek"
Concluding his prepared statement,
Tonner says that Statewide dissatis-
faction with large rate increases
granted major utilities in recent
years, coupled with heavy unemploy-
ment the last two years, is bringing
a growing realization that Montanans
must break the strangle-hold of east
private power monopo-
les. Montana Electric Consumers
Council has been formed in response
% wide demand, and we anticipate
arge membership growth in every
section of the state in the months
