Sheldon Comments On
Republicans Business

Republican legislators from Vel
lowstone county, now assured of the
construction of Yellowtail Dam. ap-
parently are opposed to the construc-
ton of Libby Dam in western Mon
tana," said Rep. Art Sheldon Cd

"They unanimously voted to OPP

mortal and based a portion of their
argument on the fact that the me-
mortal alluded to public power,' he
noted
SAT a time when unemployment
in western Montana is a critical prob
lem and we need to attract new in
dustry and broaden our tax base, such
action creates real doubt as to their
sincerity in promoting a better bust
ness climate. Libby Dam has the en-
dorsement of practically all segments
of Montana's economy and is urgently
needed for the development of it's
resources.
Rep. Sheldon is sponsor of a
House Joint Memorial urging Con-
gress and the federal government to
expedite construction of Libby Dam.
Cosponsors of the memorial are the
four Flathead OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
Murray and Rygg--all of
whom voted against the Bradford

Some of the other Senate bills that

which provides for $25 fine and/or
10 days in Jail for failure to relin-

Thiessen says this bill has the en-

The poor old friendly banker was
taken by surprise as to the effective
ness of the corporation income tax
law of 1859. The staunch old fellow
has decided that he wants to be the
thirteenth exception to the corpora
ton tax. The thirteenth exception as
proposed by Senate Bill 20 reads as
follows:
Corporations organized under the
banking laws of the State of Montana
to the same extent that national banks
organized under the banking laws of
the United States of America are not
taxed under this act"
This new 18th exception would
bring to IA the number of types of
organizations which are not covered
by the corporation tax. In effect the
rs state chartered banks would re-
ceive total relief from the $278, 900
corporation taxes paid in 1860.
Yves Wertz, lobbyist for the Mon
tana Bankers Association, said that
if this bill is not made law the state !
banks may become nationally chart
cred. One bank already has. Federal
law permits nationally chartered |
banks to be taxed only on bank shares

additionally on dividend income and

House Coppers Oppose
Better Business Climate

The first division of philoso-
ply between Democrats and
Republicans on how to bring
business to Montana was voiced
on the floor of the House
Wednesday afternoon when
the Republican majority killed
the Better Business Climate"
memorial (HJM II introduced
by Truman Bradford IDEAS
cade).
The Republican controlled House
brought out of the Business and In
dustry Committee "do not pass"
recommendation on Hum Ia me-
mortal which was almost verbatim
the one Republicans campaigned
against Democrats with during the
1860 campaign.
There were no changes in the 1859
Republican Better Business Climate
resolution except the omission of the
whereas that complained about the
taxes in the state and the addition
of a whereas that pointed out the
benefits Montana had received from
public power developments.
Immediately after turning down
the Bradford memorial the House
accepted on voice vote Hum 3, the
Republican proposal for a Better
Business Climate.
Republicans in opposing the Brad
ford memorial pointed out their oppo-
sition to public power.
Art Sheldon (D-Flathead) said
Republicans might be walking into
a trap because his name was on
memorial that included four Re-
publicans calling for federal con-
struction of Libby Dam.
TAXES HAVEN'T DEFERRED
Bradford, in defending his Better
Business Climate, said it is time
everyone face the fact that the only
thing that has brought business into
Montana is public power and that
taxes have nothing to do with whether
business comes to the state or not.

"There has to be an end to this
romance with the contractors, Nut

Anderson and Secretary of State
Frank Murray. He made reference
to the footings that sagged at the
maximum security building at the
Girls Vocational School in Helena

reasons for his new super planning
board suggested in his State of the

Nutter joined the other Examiners
in asking for preplanning aid from

him it would not cost the state a

but would not reduce their fees.

Examiners were to approve, were

Maryland was known for a long time,

Maryland has been noted for having
political leaders with courageous convictions

of the State have been willing to follow ag-

the same token, they have shouted their free

Maryland many observers said he could either
be one Of Marylands great Governors or he
could be an average politicaltype Chief Execu-
tive.
Governor Tawes had been a faithful
Democratic Party worker, and office holder.
He was a most popular State Comptroller.
The opposition Party didn't even put up
candidate against him at one or two elections.
