statistics released by the Commerce
Clearing House show twelve of these
seventeen states to be higher in state
per capita taxes, two to be the same,
and two (South Dakota and Nebras-
ka) to be lower. According to these
statistics Montana's per capita tax
is $4.72 lower than the national av-
erage.
New Mexico, which has perhaps
the most favorable tax structure of
these states, has witnessed no great
influx of population or industrial
growth. This is demonstrated by the
per capita tax in that state, $131.OO,
which is $34 higher than Montana.
With reference to state and local
taxes, Montana compares quite ia
vorably with the national average,

My "Two-Bits Worth"

Are we to be treated to mother Hells
Canyon battle? Seems as though. The
top brass" of the Montana Power now
announces that it will attempt to Sc
cure authorization from the FPC to
construct two dams at the Buffalo
Rapids site on the Flathead River. This
is similar to the strategy adopted by
the Idaho Power Company to vitiate
the construction of the Hells Canyon
DAM Those of Montana's citizens
familiar with the territory can readily
see the underlying motive in the MP
activities n this instance.
Buffalo Rapids construction would
only partially control the flow of one
stream (the Flathead) while the Para
disc Dam would control the flow of
two streams since it's location would
be below the confluence of the Flat
head and the Clarks Fork. If the
Buffalo Rapids construction is au-
thorized now and 1T is found necessary

COP 'Economania'

Please accept congratulations for the

LINGS GAZETTE! In addition, the
ultra-conservaItive manager of radio
station kenny, Yves Vernon, assists
the Gazette in dishing up COP propa-
ganda, and right-wing hog'wash
In truth, the theology emanating
from the Gazette and Mr. Vernon marks
both as archaeological specimens, since
the ancestry is strictly Mesozoic. They
are, therefore, quite at home with our
gubernatorial ALLEY Oop,' his "econo-
mania, and the COP Neanderthals in
the state Legislature.
OF course. unemployment compensa-

fact, the entire COP program, with few
exceptions, actually appears if it

tics more relevant to the tribal culture
of the Java man. Indeed, he could not
select social elements less able to ward
off political harassment. But this has
always been the COP modus operandi.
The day of reckoning, however will
arrive, but the financial and moral cost
of regenerating and expanding a dilapi- |
dated system of social services will be
greater than If the state kept pace

Toward Higher Milk Prices: Mon

would abolish the Milk Control Board
and let ruinous competition prevail
in the industry until such time as all
of the smaller fry were squeezed out.
Oregon, a couple of years ago,
abolished milk control. The prices
fell temporarily, but now a quart
there costs from one and one half to
two and one half cents more than in
Montana. This "free market idea
may have worked in the days before

PAY RAISE TO PATROLMEN

Highway patrolmen-those uni
formed citizens who work long hours
to ensure your safety on the high
ways, who are on a 24-hour call, who
are expected to be judicious, calm
and courteous no matter what the
occasion would get badly needed
pay raise averaging $50 a month
should HB 144 be enacted without
amendment. The bill is sponsored bv
Laas, Lewis, Breeder and Pierce.
Under HB IA, top pay for patrol
captains would be 1915 for a As
hour week; for sergeants, S525; pa
trolmen, $475, and probationary pa
trolmen, $500.
The top salary-that proposed for
patrol capitalists almost equal to
the annual salary of steadily en-
ployed journeymen craftsmen in the
building trades and the allied print
ing trades. There the comparison
ends. Patrol captains obviously, have
much greater responsibilities and for
approximately the same money they

But catching right now Of

they didn't win for him. Mike
