''In fairness to the people of Mon.

Rep. Simpson Introduces
Administration Coop Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, D. C.-RED-
Rep. Richard Simpson (Pa.), ranking
minority member of the powerful
House Ways and Means Committee,
has introduced the Administration S
proposal to impose corporate income
taxes and other harmful penalties on
co-operatives.
Ways and Means is the principal
tax writing committee of Congress.
Rep. Simpsons bill closely follows
recommendations made by Treasury
Secretary Anderson last February
which were conveyed in a letter to
Ways and Means Chairman Wilbur
Mills (Ark.).
Simpsons bill. which is given little
chance for serious consideration by
this Congress, would require co-opera-
tives to pay minimum of 40 inter-
est on any form of patronage divi-
dends, the total amount of which must
be paid out in cash within three years.
Patronage dividends not paid out
with interest in three years would be

Find Insecficide Harmless
To Men and Animals

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
An insecticide with no i'll effects on
man, animal, or fish has Food & Drug
Administrators tentative approval
for field tests. Its trade name is
Thuricide.
Thuricide is made up of live spores
of a micro-organism that make insect
larvae fatally i'll. 1t is itself a living
substance. Unlike poisons, people can
eat it and have no i'll effects. Tests
show cold doesn't affect it, and it
keeps for year.
The scientists job is to find the
proper strain of spores and cultivate
it as they would bacteria. People who
work for the Agriculture Department,
state experiment stations, and private
are running the tests.

INCREASED RATES ALONE,
Fl TO 43 PER CENT

/
The general rate increase MST&T
is asking. aside from the upgrading
of several towns, averages 21 to 43
per cent for one and two-party busi-
ness and residential service.
Under Group I, business users of
such smaller central offices as in
Alberton. Froid, Denton or Clyde
Park, will have their telephone bills
upped 80 to 38 per cent if the PSC
grants MST&T's request in it's en-
tirety. One and two-party residential
rates will go up 25 to 331s per cent.
Group towns are all those serviced
by MST&T and not listed below.)
Under Group III, business rates
would climb from 80 to 81 per cent;
residential 391s to 40 per cent.
Group II towns are Belgrade, Brid-
ger, Columbus, East Glacier, Fort
Benton, Fromberg, Gardiner, Harlow
ton, Manhattan, Philipsburg, Plains,
Plentywood, Poplar, Scobey, Stevens
vile, Terry, Three Forks, Thompson
Falls, Townsend, Whitehall, White
Sulphur Springs.
Under Group III, business rates
would increase 26 to 80 per cent; resi-
Dental rates, from 80 to 371a per
cent.
Group III towns are Baker, Cho-
teau, Conrad, Cut Bank, Deer Lodge,
Dillon, Forsyth, Hamilton, Hardin,
Laurel, Malta, Red Lodge, Roundup,

more because of upgrading.)
The newly-proposed Group VII,
Great Falls and Billings, is covered
earlier in this report.
ALSO, HIGHER TAX ON PATRONS
Above and beyond the $4,000 per
month tax item that Vice President
Todd mentioned, is the World War III
telephone tax of 10 per cent, which
has apparently become a permanent
part of the federal tax structure. APP
proval of the proposed higher rate
schedule would mean that this 10 per
cent tax would cost telephone users
another $4,000 month, or $4,000
a year on top of the $3,480,OOO in
crease MST&T is asking. Grand total,
$3,790,000 year larger phone bill
for Montana patrons of the utility.
On an individual phone user basis,
the increased federal excise tax would
range from $1.44 to $3.50 a year
more tax.
$3.50 A YEAR MORE PHONE BILL
Telephone patrons in Missoula,
Great Falls and Billings, because of
the proposed upgrading and higher
rate schedule, would be hit hardest
of all by the new rate schedule.
One and two-party business phone
bills in those three cities would go
up total of $3.50 year, incIud-
ing the higher federal excise tax
the patrons would have to pay. One
party residential phone bills would
increase $26.4O a year and two
party residential bills, $3.50.
In Helena (Group W, the one
party business phone bill would jump
$500 a year, and the one-party resi-
Dental, $23.16.
In Lewistown GROUP IV), the one
party business bill would go up $29.7O
a year; the one-party residential bill,
$3.50.

is FINANCIAL DISTRICT
LAW BEING VIOLATED?

Looking at another facet of de-
partmental operation since Quinnell
became chief engineer about 26
months ago, Williams statement also
pointed out that, in violation of the
Financial District Law, there els a
grand overrun for fiscal 1859 of
$1,000, ,770.66." Explaining, he re-
viewed legislative action in first es-
tablishing districts in 1927, and since,
in order to assure equitable distribu-
ton to all parts of the state of high
way construction funds.
"The legislature he said, 'estab-
lished IL financial districts on the
primary system to which it apportions
highway funds and has limited the
highway commission in its expendi-
ture of such funds in that it can only
exceed such ALLEGATION up to Is per
cent in any one year. The press and
highway officials have a tabulation
| prepared which in my opinion is the
status of funds for the primary sys-
tenn by financial districts. This shows
that up until June IL, 1859, four fl
nancial districts are in the red in
excess of the Is per cent as allowed
by law and the fifth district is over
drawn within the Is per cent limit
as allocated by legislative action. The
total of this overrun is $213,770.66
beyond the highway budgeted alloca-
ton of available funds in the budget
of anticipated revenue for fiscal 1859,
which ended June 80, 1859. The fig
IRE of $213,77O.66 used is from an
official state highway financial state
nent dated June IL, 1859 >.
'In disrespect of the foregoing fl
lancial statement" Williams pointed
ut that "the Highway Commission
The people's voice., 1959-07-10

opened and awarded jobs on June II,
1859 of which state funds required
for matching will amount to approx
mately $793, 1000" This "is a grand
total overrun for fiscal 1859 or ST.
006, ,770.66." 1t shows "six financial
districts in debt greatly exceeding
the IS per cent allowed by law and
the 9TH district overrun but not in
excess of the Is per cent. In using
this Is per cent as allowed by law
one is guided by the fact that when
one district overruns Is per cent or
less that amount of overrun is de-
Quoted from the other districts so
that the years budgeted fiscal alloca-
ton is not exceeded. There is no
provision in the law which allows a
transfer of money from the Urban
Secondary or Interstate ALLEGATIONS to
cover overruns in the Primary Budg-
eted ALLEGATION, or other combination
of fund transfers" Whether there
will be Juggling" of June award
dates into July, in order to come
within the framework of legality,
remains to be seen.
RULES SAFEGUARD PUBLIC
Continuing his explanation of the
Financial District Law and how it
works, he said, 9your legislators have
jealously guarded their duties in set
ting up the rules for allocating funds
to the four road systems, namely
primary, secondary and
have further safeguarded
the expenditure of funds on the inter-
state, primary and secondary by the
creation of IL financial districts. The
urban system which at this time COM
prises 13 cities or towns is governed
under a separate set of legislative |
laws.
"Another safeguard in your high
way financial picture is that the un-
funds from the current fis-
cal year in a financial district is car
ried over for use in the next fiscal
year and also that funds spent within
he Is per cent tolerance in a finan-
al year in a financial district are car
,ial district are likewise deducted
rom the next fiscal years budgeted
"Another safeguard in the distribu-
ion of these budgeted allocated funds
S that the money is allocated to all
ystems when available on formula
provided by the legislature. So again
is evident that the legislature did
lot want in any manner to leave room
or deficit financing in any system or
meant to tolerate any borrowing and
'ay back later financing within the
ystems. SO where the $1,000,00O plus
egally comes from a debatable is
ue. Not being a member of the legal
1 can only be guided by
uch comments and opinions on this
ubject as have been written or spo-
en- by highway attorneys in the past.
hey have never mentioned any pen
lty that would be imposed for viola
on of these legislative edicts in this
picture.'

CLENDIVE AREA FINANCIAL
DISTRICT MAY BE HARD HIT

AS to securing federal matching
funds to make up 81 per cent of the
2O-fold increase in right-of-way cost,
Williams said that eff the State can
not prove to the satisfaction of the
Bureau of Public Roads the necessity
of this overrun, then the State pays
the entire difference without benefit
of Federal aid"
Boiled down, if the BPR refuses
to approve the $357,000 increase for
right-of way, the Glendive area finan-
cial district will have the entire in
crease charged against it-thus SER
iously crippling the financing of addi-
tional roads in that area in the period
ahead. Under last September's esti-
mate of $4,000 for right-of-way,
federal matching funds would have
taken care of $10,26O of the amount.
Without BPR approval of the in
crease. federal aid for purchase of
this piece of right-of-way will still
amount to only $40, ,260-leaving that
financial district holding the bag for
the 1864, TAO remainder.

THE SPRINGDALE HILL
WORK ORDER

Recalling his testimony before the
Bradford Committee, Williams again
questioned the bottom routing of the
Interstate in the Yellowstone Valley.
particularly the $1,100,000 work
order addition to the contract cover
ing the Springdale Hill section of that
highway and the $284,000 paid out
for about 20 acres of right -of-way
alongside of the south city limits of
Livingston.
These cost items, he said, 81 pre-
sumo" are taboo, because of the
recent public statement by Commits
sion Chairman Burns that the highway
would be built in the valley bottom
or not at all.
Williams also expressed the opinion
that "at least other Interstate rout-
ings could we'll be investigated by
outside nationally-known engineering
firms, namely: St. Regis to Three
Forks. Forsyth to Terry, the aban-
doned freight line of the Northern
Pacific on the north side in the Gala
tin Valley, the Kelly Canyon route
against the Rocky Canyon route east
of Bozeman, the area east and west
of Glendive and Helena to Great Falls
These determinations should be ar
rived at prior to procuring of R/W
or in the very near future awarding
of structure contracts so as to tie
down all future alignments."
