DEPARTMENT NOT PUSHING
INCREASED GAS TAX

Preceding Williams on the witness
stand Wednesday evening was Engi-
neer Quinnell. Quinnell was ques-
toned at length over a number of
projects, including the Malta-G Grass
Range highway No. 333. Counsel
Overfelt and other committee men,
bers wanted to know how come road
was located where it is in view of in
stability of the road bed causing it
to sink, and the sluffing down onto
the highway of shale in various cuts.
Quinnell was also queried at length
on certain obvious engineering flaws
in the location of Montana 16's over
pass just outside the city limits of
Culbertsen, by Rep. Magnus Aasheim
Probably most enlightening state
ment, by Quinnell came' in reply to
questioning by Rep. Joe Wold Cd

Highway public relations department
is out plugging for increasing the gas
tax by one cent. Void pointed out that
newspapers in Yellowstone county
and his constituents were advising
MIN OF this activity. Qu1nnelI denied
that such was the case so far as he
personally was concerned-that the
public relations staff also worked for
the Highway Commission.
Quinnell said eve aren't con-
cerned with how you get the mon
ey" to carry On the highway pro-
gram. He also said he didn't think
the one-cent gas tax is political
ISSUE (This is in strange contrast
to numerous blasts Quinnell and
Highway Commission Chairman
Harry Burns have repeatedly fired
at the 1857 (Demo-controlled) Leg
islature over failure of that body
to re-enact the one cent added tax.

Effective Public Health
Work Protects All of us

some of the more important functions
of that board, as outlined by the
boards chairman, DR.. David T. Berg,
Helena, at the Montana State Col
lege symposium on financing state
services, held last December. in Boze-
man.
DR.. Berg reported that much of the
health departments work is preven-
tive in nature. Because of this, people
seldom realize how large a roll the
department plays in protecting their
water supplies, policing sanitation in
eating places and bars, seeking i'm
proved sewerage facilities, etc.
Among other functions of health
for which the department is held ac-
countable, he listed the successful
polio vaccine pilot program carried
out few years ago in cooperation
with other western states, program
which set standards for the nation;
diagnostic and preventive work on
communicable diseases, stream pollu-
tion control, educational program to
bring better medical care to mothers
and babies, improved medical care for
the aged, supervision of hospitals
built under Hill-Burton Act, watch
dogging over food and drugs sold in
Montana, immunization programs, Ii
censing health standards of trailer
courts, hotels, etc., inspection and Ii
censing of all hospitals including fire
control facilities in hospitals, register
ing all births and deaths, research
into such killers as cancer and heart
promotion of sound dental
programs in the schools, venereal di-
sease control, "fall-out" checking, re-
Mobilization of physically handicapped,
supervision of industrial hygiene in
industry and mines, virus lab work,
palsy treatment and research,
etc.

going into the so-called missile lag,
and into our capability to fight a
''limited war;. The time is coming
when the Russians will have more in
tercontinental ballistic missiles than
we do, before we have perfected
defense against them.
| am not going to pre-judge the
case, but on the basis of what | have
heard so far l will not be surprised
if the Congress should find it neces-
sary to insist on quicker action and
greater strength than was recomend-
ed in the Presidents budget AS the
hearings progress, l shall report to
you on some of the highlights and
then give you a summary of our con-
clusions.
Durum Wheat-My recently intro
duced durum wheat acreage incentive
bill will be the subject of hearings.
Rep. Carl Albert, chairman of the
Wheat subcommittee of the House
Committee on Agriculture, assured
me he will conduct the hearings as
soon as possible. Already | have re-
ceived assurances of cosponsorship of
this legislation by Dakota members
and by Senator Murray and other
members of the Senate.
Nation Growing Fast-The other
day over in the main lobby of the
Department of Commerce I watched
the big population computer graph
come aglow with a lot of flashing
lights indicating the u. S. population
at that precise second had exceeded
176,800,000 persons. A short 20 years
from now, the Bureau of Census tells
me, our nation will have total popu-
lation of about 260 million, or gain
of nearly 48 per cent.
Taking a look into Montana's future
population, that would place both
Great Falls and Billings in the more
than-100,00O population class, so
there will be a continuing need for
construction of new homes, new
schools, new municipal facilities, and
improved transportation facilities, in
Guiding increased jet plane transpor-
tation. 1t will take lot of thoughtful
municipal planning for the next 20
years.
The people's voice., 1959-02-13

McGarvey said the bill would "take
away from the people the right to
elect their own judges, and branded
it as following the Communist way"
of putting only the name of one candi-
date on the ballot for the electorate
to approve or disapDrove.
The appointive system for selecting
justices lost popularity over the past
two years. In the 1857 Legislature the
vote was "a for and as against.
Wednesday it was 32 votes for and
SO against.-G. B.
Roll call was taken on the minority
"do pass" report. Those voting Aye,
voted to take away the peoples free
choice of State Supreme Court JUS
tices.

Except when there's something
startling, such as the major fish kill
because of polluted waters below the
pulpmill west of Missoula last year,
few of us pay great deal of atten-
ton to the notwithstanding activities
of the State, Board of Health. We
know that board is one of many state
agencies, but except for the occa-
sional breakdown on some city or
town because of impure water, or the
grousing of some restaurant owner
because he's been ordered to clean
up his kitchen, we are by and large
unaware of the varied responsibilities
placed upon that board to protect in
every way possible the health of Mon
tana people.

Selfish Interests
Should Wake Up
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
l have q couple of subjects under
consideration.
No. 1-Why do we as individuals have
to make many trips to Helena when
the Legislature Is in session to combat
the highly organized lobbies of the
Mr.. Bigs?
Sanders county has two able men
Senator Eugene Fl. Mahoney and Rep.
Henry l.. Gill. We have implicit faith
in them. What worries me-is "Mr.
Bigs"-Lobbyists, to name a few, Cor
ette, Goza, Bonner.
No. 2-The rank and file of the work
ers and common people do not have
the time and money to race over to
Helena to present our side of the case.
We are inadequately equipped to com
bat this highly organized, centralized
boiler plate" type of high pressured
propaganda of MIR. Bigs.
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming has
warned these selfish people that they
will destroy their own house of cards
why don't they wake up? Yours truly,
I. ]. CARTER, Box 416, Plains, Mont.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The seth
Congress quickly buckled down to the
hard tedious business of legislating,
both in committee work and on the
floor. My committee on Interior has
completed work on the Hawaiian
Statehood Bill and it is now in the
Rules Committee where Speaker Ray
burn has promised that it will receive
timely action. In the House, we al
ready have passed a CT housing bill
intended to make money available
to veterans in rural states like Mon
tana, while the Senate voted 6O-28
for a general housing bill. Old-timers
tell me they have never seen such
active committees and long sessions
this early in the season. We have i'm
portant work to do and we're going
to get it done.

Services Committee we have held
full week of hearings on the condi-
tion of our national defense. Our wit
nesses were Secretary of Defense Nc

of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Later

Senator Cancels
Stamp Lobbyists

Yesterday morning Senator Art
Hagenston (D-Dawson) arose on the
floor of the Senate and breathed new
life into his 'gas chambered" SB 159.
Hagenston was able to revive his bill
that would make trading stamps re-
deemable for cash dreaded by the
national stamp syndicates) by expos
ing the tactics of the lobbyists against
his program that would free the
housewife from the abject material
ism of merchandise catalogs.
At Judiciary Committee hearing,
Hagenston told the Senate: Lobbyist
Ex-Gov. John w. Bonner spoke of the
"chaos" Hagenston's measure would
bring, and other things Hagenston
thought not worth mentioning; Lob
byist "Would Be Governor" Arnold
Olsen spoke of the adverse affects
on the industry, and lobbyist
Would Be Governor Left Erickson
had to stand outside the door of the
small hearing room while lobbyists
Dougherty and Henry Loble presented
the expense paid witnesses represent
ing the stamp syndicate.
Senators Mike Ruane fD-Deer
LODGE and Jim McKenna (D-Fer-
gus) floor-defended the adverse re-
port by propounding that the Judici-
ary Committee was the 'unkillingest"
and that SB 159 was unconstitution-
al, although it has stood uncontested
in two states.
Sen. Pat Minette (D-Glacier) had
the largest gripe against the stamp
syndicates when he recounted that
a "feathery blonde" he had been
dating asked whether he collected
purple paper stamps and thought she
was talking about bop record known
as the "Purple People Eater. Quite
naturally Minette is now touchy on
the stamps without cash redemption

Moscow Plan" Again Bites Dust :.
Plot
Vetoed By House

Characteristic of the pattern in this
legislature, was the action in the
House Wednesday morning on HB
230, the often called Missouri or
Moscow Plan for selecting Supreme
Court justices.
The pattern on controversial legis-
lation has been majority and a mi
nority report, thus they first act on
the minority report. Thus it was on
HB 23O with minority edo pass
and a majority edo not pass".
HB 230 would have been consti-
tutional amendment and set forth a
somewhat complicated maze of ap-
pointments by the Governor to choose
list of names from which the Gov
ernor would pick the court. The first
election following appointment the
justices would have to "run on their
record. If the people rejected the
man and his record the mechanics
would be repeated over again-if he
was accepted he would serve six years
always the people saying yes or no
to one name on the ballot.
Supporters of the bill said the peo-
pie did not know enough about the
candidates for the court, that it was
difficult for non-partisan court can
didates to finance campaigns.
Records in the Secretary of States
office following the 1853 court cleo
ton show that supporters of the Gov
ernor's appointed justices Harrison
and Castles spent over $21, 700 in the
last campaign and supporters of Olsen
and Freebourn spent just over $7,50O.
These sums included what the candi-
dates themselves spent as we'll as their
Clubs.
Reps. Jerome Anderson (R-Yellow-
stone) and Sumner Gerard (R-Madi-
sony supported the bill.
Opposing the bill were Cecil Park
er (D-Pondera), Dale McGarvey ID
Flatheady and Pat Gilfeather ID
Cascade). Parker reminded Anderson
and Gerard of the arguments they
used against the constitutional amend
ment setting qualifications for the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction (see story elsewhere in this
paper). Gilfeather pointed out that
Montana has clearly stated a policy
of three seperate and distinct
branches of government in this state
and HB 230 would put the court in
the hands of the Governor.

Why Shouldn't People Have
Right To Provide Their
Own Utility Services?
People's VOICE:

GeOpI6 5 voice.
The Company is again soaring us
with hobgoblin stories; this time about
HB 217 which would permit communi-
ties to serve themselves with electric
power if they elect to stablish public
utility districts (PUDs), more commonly
known as municipal power and light.
More than 1000 communities in AZ
states furnish themselves power. This
has been going on for generations in
the United States and the free world.
However the ability of the Company
to dominate has prevented much exer-
else of such freedom in Montana.
In traditionally Republican Nebraska
the public distributes all power.
My old home town of Winnetka, ILL.,,
q wealthy and staunchly Republican
suburb, recently defeated overwhelm-
ingly another effort of the private
utility to take over its municipal power
system.
The war of private monopolies to
eliminate municipal power and REAs
is ruthless. It's questionable methods
are building up a tremendous reservoir
of resentment which may eventually
result in corrective legislation.
MunicipaI power seIr-service is
attractive because of it's lower rates
and local control. In Washington,
where PUDs are most prevalent, rates
are the lowest I'm the country, not
the fact that they pay
taxes.
Most of our Lake county citizens
seem to like their version of public
utility district, called the Flathead
Irrigation and Power Project, by which
we are securing rates lower than those
Of the power companies, and are at the
same time paying off irrigation and
power construction costs.
Why should not other Montana COM
be permitted to provide them
selves with power through public util-
ity districts If they elect to do so?

MISSION CANYON DAM
PROPOSAL

Questioned as to how long the
highway department had known of
the possibility federal dam might
be built across the Yellowstone at
Mission Canyon near Springdale,
Williams said for at least II years.
The longtime engineer stated that
in 1912 1--WE worked up estimates" on
cost of removal of present U. S. 10
to higher ground, for the Corps of
Army Engineers. The Corps, at that
time was doing exploratory work on
three potential dam sites. One of these
three was the Mission Canyon propos-
al. Among highway engineers assigned
to work with the Corps was Art Quin-
nell, son of Highway Engineer Fred
Quinnell. (For more details on this,
