Governmental Reorganization
Makes Good Campaign 0rutory

"The political campaign promise of
reorganization of state government
is much more rewarding than the
actual fact of reorganization when
it comes to doing it," Ted Schwinden,
Roosevelt county state representa-
tive, told the closing session of the
tax conference in Bozeman, Tuesday
afternoon.
In actual practice attempts to re-
organize state government have end
ed in the creation of new agencies,
he said.
There are two possibilities that
might lead to a practical reorganiza-
ton, according to Schwinden. One
is constitutional convention and
another is by way of the referendum.

Unions Organize
To Oppose NP-GN
Merger Proposal

LIVINGSTON-With at least 1000
jobs on the Northern Pacific jeopar-
died should the proposed NP-Great
Northern merger become a reality,
rail union workers in this key rail
town have organized for the purpose
of opposing the merger.
The setting up of a local united
rail labor group, such as was recently
organized in Missoula and other
towns along the MP system, came
about at a meeting Sunday at which
time effects of the proposed merger
on Livingston were evaluated.
By setting up joint group, mem
bers of the more than dozen rail
crafts believe they will have better
opportunity to build opposition to the
merger among all residents of this
city.
w. R. MCGEE was elected chairman
of the joint group at the Sunday
meeting. Under his direction. COM
mittees are now being selected to CO.
ordinate the program of informing
people of the seriousness of the stu
alton.
eve cannot do it alone-it is a
common battle in which all residents
must join,' Webb Sullivan, public
relations chairman, said.
eve urge Livingston residents to
write their congressman and express
their opposition to the merger"
The proposed merger would place
the principal freight route for the
combined roads over the Great North
ern between Cassleton, N. D., and
Idaho.

Carpenters Agree ;.
Labor Must Get Its Story
Across To General Public

The Montana Council of Carpen-
tiers in two and one-half day meet
ing in Bozeman, December /, 2 and 8,
passed resolutions asking their lobby
in the 1861 legislature to work for
legislation to prohibit policemen and
firemen from taking jobs from other
working people, put at least one more
safety Inspector on the staff of the
Industrial Accident Board, and to
investigate the possibilities of putting
penalties in the law that provides
Montana people be hired on tax-sup-
ported construction projects.
The need for added staff on the
Industrial Accident Board, Carpen-
tiers said, is because of the alarming
rate" of construction accidents.
The discussion of hiring Montana
people on tax supported construction
brought out the fact that this indus
try has a high unemployment COM
pensation pay-out and when out-of-
state people are hired they build up
their benefits and then leave the
state to collect and spend it.
Carpenters also made moves to

trial and corporate domination has
been the drive by governmental units
to seek ear-marked funds to finance
their activities because state legisla-
tive bodies have refused to give real
istic consideration to their needs.
Lack of legislative responsibility has
created governments within the gov
eminent, departments that have been
able to completely isolate themselves
from legislative control. The same
lack of legislative responsibility is
behind the drive to create scar
marked funds for the support of
education; it forced the state to
vote for the anti-diversion of high
way gas taxes.
Another consequence of industrial
and corporate domination was evident
when the cattle industry spokesman
suggested the cattle in
dustry was being picked on'' when
their contribution to school financing
from state lands was less than 1 90

Large Rancher Speaks Out
Large Rancher Speaks Out
Taxorama Compared With
Septic Tank Cleaners

Paul Ringing, state senator from
Meagher county, told the Tax Sympo-
SUM at Montana State College Mon
day afternoon that the way to pay
less taxes is to order less services,
however, he said there were "self-
styled tax associations who publish
figures to confuse a water that is
already murky enough.
Ringing, large rancher, brought
down the house when he said there
were many travelling teams offer
ing their services to the farming
community every fall. He said he
could remember as a kid when the
fellows came around offering to
discharge the lightning rod, then
came the septic tank cleaners and
most recently came Taxorama.
The attitude toward taxes, he said,
has become emotienally- charged with
statements about taxes are too high,
the tax burden too great. Interstate
tax comparisons are. of doubtful val
idity, and in most tax comparisons
it depends on who makes the study
and what answer they were looking
for when they started out.

The Lumber and SawmiI Workers
District Council, at their 42nd bian-
NAL convention in Bozeman, Deem
Der 8 and 4, voted to send 800 to
striking miners in Wallace, Idaho,
reaffirmed their legislative goals in
such areas as workmen's compensa-
ton, industrial accident and minimum
wage and instructed their secretary
to render all possible aid in lobbying
these things through the 1861 legis-
lative session.
Robert Weller, executive secretary,
warned the delegates they can look
for flour years of unfriendly gov
eminent on the state level' and could
expect little progress in the field of
labor legislation in the 1861 session.
''If you have high unemployment
and anagement expects to have
low unemployment taxes at the
same time the savings must come
from the pockets of the unem-
pIoyed," Weller said.

Acting on another Legislative
Council recommendation the caucus
whitfield down from 36 to 10 the
committees that work on the bills
that are introduced. Working with
so few experienced legislators the
recommendation TO cut committees
will be of particular benefit to Re-
publicans this session.
Traditionally the first committee
appointed is the employment commit
tee. Under the reorganization en-
ployment will be handled by the Leg
islative Administration Committee,
and includes seating, entertainment
and per diem. Frank Hazelbaker,
Beaverhead, was appointed chairman.
Hazelbaker has served in three pre-
vious sessions. Appointed to this
committee were Dan Dykstra, Lewis
& Clark; John Pierce. Yellowstone;
Fred Breeder, Flathead, and "lone-
some end Democrat John Enlmons,
Deer Lodge county.
This committee, consisting of
four-to-one in favor of the Repub-
Leans prompted your Voice re-
porter to ask MIR. Hawks if this
was a precedent to be followed in
appointing subsequent committees
and Jerome Anderson said that
they hadn't decided what the per-
centage would be as yet.
The meeting was covered by the
state representatives of the press
services as we'll as radio and TV.

were being given the names of the

The case for the service needs was
presented with clarity and intelli-

them with justice and economy was
put on ice by legislative spokesman
in control of financing for the next
biennium. A joint press release
after the conference ended by the
incoming Republican leadership of
the legislative arm which appropri-
ates funds for services, dashed much
of the hope for the future of the
service needs of the state.
The joint statement by Republican
Speaker of the House Clyde Hawks
and Majority Leader Jerome Ander-

that pervaded the conference but
