Conference Committees Hold
Final Decisions On Tax
Increasing Proposals

Tax measures as of press time are
in various stages of conference COM
mittees. The pitch is that Republicans
through their "tax expert" il from
Yellowstone county, tried to "chip
away" at the tax measures, as Tom
Haines (R-Missoula) called it, in
amounts OF from 2 to 8 thousand
dollars.
Haines said the Appropriations
Committee, of which he is member,
had done as good job as it was pos
sible to do. He thought the committee
had shaved things a little too tight,
in fact, and he said Rep. (J-1) Felt
didn't know what he was talking
about" when he tried to chop three
thousand dollars from the fee Mon
tana must pay to the Western Inter
state Compact for Higher Education,
in order to send our medical students
to colleges with these facilities, that
are not offered in Montana.
Tax measures have ended up in
conference committees because of
that have come out of
the Senate, and probably won't be
decided until the very waning hours
of the legislature.

of 256,000 kilowatts, an ultimate in

would develop $4,000 XIV of prime

Nine-Mile Prairie, on the Blackfoot

Schotte Critical OF
Governors Veto OF
Weight-Distanee

George Schotte, Butte busi-
nessman, trucker and strong ad-
vocate of the weight-distance
method of truck taxation, said
Wednesday afternoon II don't
think anybody could conscien-
tiously vote for or sign gas tax
bill and leave the truck tax just as
is that would not be at all fair
to the people of Montana.
Following the Governors veto of
the weight distance bill and refusal
of the House to enact the additional
one cent gas tax, we called Mr..
Schotte, who has served on citizens
highway committees since 1948 and
who was chairman of the Governors s
1955-57 Highway Fact Finding Com
mission that presented the weight
distance bill to the 1857 Legislature.
We asked his reaction to the moves
that took place Tuesday afternoon
and Wednesday morning.
Schotte said the Governors veto
message pointed up one thing to
me the report of the Governors
Highway Fact Finding Committee
which has been in his office for two
years and three months apparently
has never been read'.
"On the theory the Governor put
forth in the message that increases

When the committee of the whole
report was ready, Minority Leader
Sumner Gerard asked that 301 be
segregated from the report, which
would have kept it alive. He asked
for a roll call and call of the House.
Only Rep. Picard was not there-ex-

with a new baby. Of the SO present
only one, Dolly Page (D-Granite) 4,
did not vote. The roll call (printed

oplHlOH CndC OB liz, as amenQeu III
the Senate by Senator Eugene Ma
honey (D-Sanders), is a reasonably
good measure which will go far
toward placing the cost of compensa-
ton for Silicosis and other occupa-
tional diseases where it belongs-on
the crippling industries wherein such
diseases are contracted. Presently,
Montana taxpayers as whole pay
the freight for disability arising from
occupational disease, via Public We'll
fare assistance.
Dlsowned by its original sponsors,
Hibbs and Mcdonnell, before the Ma
honey amendments were written into
SB 112 it contained the notorious
waiver clause whereby workers
could, as a condition of employment,
be forced to waive their rights to
compensation in case they contracted
a disease such as Silicosis while work
ing in the mining industry. 1t was
on the waiver" clause stumbling
block that occupational disease leg
islation failed of passage in the 1857
session.
SPECIFIED DISEASES COVERED
Occupational diseases arising in
the normal course of employment,
covered under SB 112 are:
1. Silicosis.
2. Poisoning by the following or
their compounds: arsenic, antimony,
cadmium, chrome, lead, manganese,
mercury, phosphorous, selenium, va
nadium, zinc, sulphur, copper, ben
zine, benzol hydrocarbons, carbon
derivatives, carbon tetrachloride.

about two and one-half miles below
the junction of the two rivers.
In seeking authorization for one
or the other projects, the three Mon
tana Democrats take note of the lat
est report of the Corps of Army Engi-
neers which, because of cost, recon-
mends Knowles over Paradise. How
ever. the authorization request is so
worded that Should subsequent in
vestigation prior to commencement
of construction indicate the desir-
ability of removing the project loca-
ton" to the Paradise site, then the
authorization will apply to the larger
project.
Feasibility and need for Knowles
or Paradise, along with the pro-
posed Nine Mile Prarie project and
Flathead Lake outlet improvements,
