LegoHzed Dope?

This week the County Commits

says Senator Gender, seek the
legalized sale of whiskey in order
to get tax money for our roads
and schools and other services.
Well why not legalize dope?
OF course there are several
minor advantages of dope over
liquor. Dope is heater and clean
err and is less bulky to handle).
But the big advantage would be
the greatly increased tax revenues,
for schools and roads, of course A
percentage tax on the high cost of
fix would yield much "wamp-
UNI" And since one becomes a
dope addict somewhat quicker
than one becomes an alcoholic, the
rate of increase of dope sales
would be terrific-and thus more
money. Further. if the government
would subsidize dope administra-
ton in the public schools, then by
the time that the students became
earning adults they would be full
Pledged dope addicts and the gov
eminent would get most of their
salaries in the form of dope tax
revenue, and we would have Won

Aasheim Charges
>UHerior Motive
Behind House Bill

Introduction of HB 167 by Murray
(R-Flathead) ct al, has brought forth
a charge from Rep. Aasheim (D-Sher-
idan). that there are "ulterior mo-
tives' behind this move to abolish
the Hail Board land abscond with
over two million dollars of its re-
serves"
'It is ironic,' he said, "that an
efficient agency should be the brunt
of an attack led by our chief execu-
tive and those representatives who
campaigned on a plank of good bust
ness in government.
"This insurance agency" Aasheim
continued. chad rough going during
it's infancy and only through the
perseverance, faith and good bust
ness administration of it's chairman,
E. K. Bowman, has it been able to
continue it's operation for 43 years.
'sNot only has the Hail Board OPP
Grated economically, it has done so
at no expense whatsoever to the State
and has performed function to the
farmers on many occasions which no
other agency was willing or able to
do. Even in recent years the private
agencies have been reluctant to write
insurance in an area of high loss"
the Sheridan legislator pointed out.

ate watched the Inauguration of John
Fitzgerald Kennedy as President of
the United States, on television sets
placed on the rostrum. The Demo-
cratic minority in the House had
received a special invitation to come

The Senate has received steady
flow of bills but not in the amount
forecasted by the trend of more and
more legislation of previous sessions.
In 1857 there were more than 500
bills introduced while 1859 saw the
pile to be waded through increase
to over 700. Speculation that there
would be over a thousand bills this
session appears groundless. The death

The debates thus far in the Senate
have been in the traditional formal
ity. The leisurely pace is not without
it's fascinating show of strength how
ever.
The only breach of controlled lam
guage came during the bombastics of
the fireworks outlawing bill. The Re-
publican doctor, William Cashmere
from Lewis and Clark, had given an
impassioned plea that while his bust
ness was to tend to sick and injured
persons he did not want the business
caused by fireworks. Comparisons
with auto injuries had been made
previously in the pros and cons of
the measure and Republican attorney
A. Roland Mcdonnell from Sweet
Grass took exception to Cashmore's
exception that children don't drive.
Mcdonnell said pointedly to Cash
more care you inferring all fools

The measure cleared the Senate
by roll call of 80 to % based upon
personal prejudice rather than
party policy.

passage of lib 44-the Wheat

fight was made to make the bill

measure and also to simplify the
tax refund method, without sue
cess. All opposition to this proposed
creation of another expensive bu-.
reau, however, was beaten down

House Group Cunning
For Farmers Co-ops

! hail, cyclone or fire insurance com.
panies, etc.
The exemption in all instances is
predicated on the absence of profit
or net income to the association, as
distinguished from other types of
corporate enterprise which are strictly
profit-making in their own right and
therefore subject to the tax on their
net income.
The question then is, what is net
income, and do farmer co-operatives
make net income which belongs to
the co-operatives rather than the
patrons?
Leonard Kenfield, president of
Montana Farmers Union, in state
ment this week answered that ques-
ton in concise understandable word
ing. Said Kenfield:
sOn business for and with znem-
bers, co-operatives have no net
income. Bylaws establish the con-
tractual relation each coop has
with its member-patrons and re-
quire the coop to allocate and re-
fund TO members any savings
above costs of doing business. Pa
tronage dividends are liability
to the coop and liabilities are not
taxable. Refunding in cash or de-
ferred depends on stakeholder de-
cision in annual meetings or by
bylaws provisions.
"Co-operatives do report for in
come tax savings realized from these
occasional transactions of unusual
business with non-members.
Farmers report in their own tax
returns local and regional (co-opera-
tive) savings, if any, cash or de-
ferred.." This reporting method, Ken
field points out, is the same as that
employed by members of partner
ship or stockholders of a Montana
small business corporation

For the third time in the
past decade anti-farmer coop
erative forces have had legis-
lation introduced to tax the al
legged net income of those self
help organizations, along with
mutual savings banks and
building and loan associations.
HB 131, to remove farmer co-ops
and the other two non-profit types of
enterprises from corporation license
tax exemption, is sponsored by ID
Republicans and three conservative
Democrats. They are: Republicans,
Mathers. Edwards, Anderson (Yel-
lowstone), Goan, Smith, Stearns,
Schye, Spilde, Resell, Pierce, Beam,
Hawks and Adams; Democrats: Bush,
Gustafson and Regain.
Contrary to reports appearing in
the daily press, ALL farmer coop
eratives, not just the regionals,
would lose their exempt status
should lib 131 be enacted into law.
Two years ago similar bill was
introduced in the House and was de-
cisively beaten. In 1851, the notorious

and give the Legislature and the peo-

funds to pay off the huge deficit
incurred during the previous Repub-
lican administration.
The Senators further condemned

REvISES AUM FORMULA
The bill provides for revising the
present animal unit month rental
formula by putting a 50-cent basic
AUM charge and then letting the
average cattle price determine how
much additional the AUM charge
would be. Based on the current aver
age cattle price, the AUM rate would
be about $1.00-or slightly less than
half the average statewide AUM
rate on private leases of $2.35. HB
33 would approximately double the
present rental schedules and would
bring in an estimated $1,182,777 an
nually to the school income and in
terest fund as compard with the
estimated $562,112 the I&I will re-
ceive in 1861 under the present
rental formula.
Rep. Schwinden, who managed the
case for the bill said that HB 33 "is
a realistic and thoroughly considered
answer to the problem is the State
of Montana receiving a fair return
from it's state lands?"
Schwinden, member of the Mon
tana Legislative Council this past
biennium, pointed out that the bill
was drafted by the council only
after exhaustive investigation and
consideration of the problem. Con-
tending the bill is most fair to the
livestock industry, he pointed out
that these state lands are for the
most part an endowment" to our
schools; that toe high rentals would
result in decrease in leasing, lease
abuse, etc. Too low rentals, on the
other hand, he said, represent Sub
sidy to these fortunate ranchers who

stantially increased.
Following the "stockmen's club
chopping the House-approved bill,
he reminded them that he and then
Rep. Devier (D-Dawson) had intro
duced the House resolution instruct
ing the legislative council to make
a thorough study of the subject-a
study which resulted in the drafting
of HB 33.
Private leases in his area, he
said, average $3.50 to $2.75 per
AUM. He also found that in Still
water there are many stockmen
who favor higher leases because
state rentals on a more comparable
basis to private would mean ga
fairer break for all stockmen."
MIC STUDY WAS UNHURRIED
Sen. Rieder, chairman of the MIC
committee on state lands, said "the
study was unhurried and very thor

The balance is leased to some $500
