Examiners Handle Much Routine
Business at This Week Meeting

made some slight mlscalculatlonS dur
ING the last session of the legislature.
John Holmes, the State Auditor,
needs $1,376.69 to pay the district
judges. This type of error is unavoid-
able because of the changes in Judge
ships. Old judges receive $4,000 a
year while appointed requirements
get $4,000.
A courtesy resolution was SUBJ
mitted to the Examiners by the SUI
preme Court to place an additional
$263.59 in the retirement system.
This received automatic approval be-
cause the Supreme Court has the
power to order the Examiners to do
whatever it wants. Their power is
backed by statutes, constitutions, I'M
told common laws and opinions of
the court. If it ever got down to the
last nickel in the treasury it would
belong to the court.
General S. HI. Mitchell was au-
thorized to make $596.78 repairs to
the old Chinook armory which is
used as a drill hall. Mitchell will also
have $533.75 spent ON the grounds
around the new Miles City armory.
In Bozeman, classrooms will be built
in the rifle range and on the stage
at the armory. ..4A

of the reports were sent to the insti-

could be corrected before chance

AVERAGE NOW UNDER
1 CENT PER XVIII

Snohomish PUD, which for some
years had an average residential rate
of LOO cents per XVIII, by virtue of
it's latest rate reduction. of 81 per
cent, now has an average residential
rate of slightly under 99/100ths of
a cent per XVIII. Under Snohomish's
new rate schedule, the MPCo. resi-
Dental user averaging 1872 kwhs per
month, would pay less than $3.50 for
electricity as compared with his pres
ent monthly bill of $3.50.

In a second resolution the dele
gates, representing 10 Montana To-
Gals of the BARRIERS, also went on rec
ord in opposition to the rehabilitation
program now operated at the State
Prison. In taking this action, the dele
gates pointed out that convict barber
trainees were underwriting the price
standards of barbershops in the Deer
Lodge area by charging civilian en-
ployes of the prison only SO cents
a haircut. They also noted that since
state law prohibits prison made goods
competing with the products of in
dustries employing free labor, SINH
lar prohibition should be made against
prison inmates competing in the serv-
ice industry field

Here's Why PUBS
Scare MPCo. Stiff

Two consumer-owned Public Util-
ity Districts in Washington have,
within recent weeks, put major rate
reductions into effect. One of these,
Clallam County, Port Angeles, has
reduced power costs of 1000 custo-
mers by $4,000 a year. The other,
Snohomish County PUD, Everett, has
reduced electricity costs of $4,000
patron-owners by 100000 year.
Clallam PUBS elected commission
ers. in announcing the major rate
cut, stated that, 1--WE feel especially
proud of this rate reduction as costs
have been extremely high in connec-
ton with our west end (of the
county, transmission system. We
feel especially proud that. we can
effect this rate decrease at a time
when the public service commission
is granting rate increases to various
private utilities
Were the average Montana Power
residential patron using 1872 kilowatt
hours per month served by Clallam
PUD he would find his electric bill
Immediately reduced by a third
from $3.50 he~now pays MPCo. to
$5.32-by virtue of the PUBS latest
rate reduction. His average kilowatt
hour cost would be 1.6 cents instead
of the 2.38 cents MPCo.-supplied
power now costs him.

THE ROLE OF THE BOSSES

THE ROLE OF THE BOSSES
Perhaps the most significant de-
velopment in the Stevenson-Kennedy
contest has been the New York City
primary election and the defeat in
Tammany Bass Carmine DeSapio's
ticket. Kennedy, in a widely-circu-
lated photo, posed with DeSapio and
The Bronx boss, Charles Buckley, at
moment when Eleanor Roosevelt
and former Sen. Herbert H. Lehman
were trying desperately to get help
in their reform campaign.
Whoever advised Kennedy to
meet with DeSapio and Buckley
was no friend, because now the
Roosevelt and Lehman wing is be-
coming dominant and the disrepute
of the bosses is greater than ever.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Sen. Lehman and
former Air Force Secretary Thomas
K. Finletter are the prime movers
n the New York Stevenson-for-
President movement. If Kennedy
hopes to win permanent support in
the Empire State delegation he will
have to make his peace with the indie
pendent clean-government movement.
Thus far all they are prepared to do
is back him for Vice President.
THE ROCKEFELLER BOMBSHELL
Four years ago Harold Stassen,
who was considered ''pro", launched
a movement to drop Richard M. Nix
on from the Republican ticket. Now
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, whom
the 'pros" consider an amateur poll
tician, is engaged in similar move.
But, in retrospect, it is Stassen
who looks like the amateur and Rookie
Teller who performs like the 'spro''.
One reason for the different apprais-
al of the two mems tactics is that
Stassen made it a personal issue
against Nixon. On the other hand,
Rockefeller has made it a matter of
national policy. No one, he says in
effect, is entitled to be President
until he tells the nation where he !,
stands on the crucial issues of the
lay. The time to tell the voters, Rock
sfeller insists, is before the national
convention, not afterwards.
Could it be that Rockefeller is
so unorthodox he wants to be
known as the thinking mans

Great Falls Mayor William Swan.
berg and Billings Mayor Carl Clava-
detscher also spoke in opposition to
the League considering the resolu-
ton.
PUD, whereby the people of an
area could vote to set up such a dis
trict and thus serve themselves with
power at continually decreasing
cost per kilowatthour, was first in
troduced in a Montana Legislative
Assembly in 1859. This first attempt
to let Montana people decide whether
they wished to go in the power bust
ness for themselves went down 1910
following what amounted to mass
demonstrations staged by private
utility interests. Private power per-
sonnet by the hundreds were brought
into Helena in a show of strength
that bewildered and confused many
members of the Legislature.
Although the Mayor of Kalispell
was quite insistent the anti-PUD resi-
luton be given thorough discussion
on the floor of the meeting, delegates
resolved to table the matter.
Various delegates in private ex-
pressed the opinion that: 1. they
didn't know enough about the pros
and cons of such legislation to make
an intelligent decision; 2. such pre-
cipitous action as approving the
MPCo.'s resolution could very well
work to the great disadvantage of
cities and towns when they next APP
