The two bills the Bar Association
gave the committees for consideration
include:
(D A retirement bill for district
and supreme court judges based upon
age and service, the minimum service
being II years at 70 or 16 years at
age 65.
(2) The maximum payment on
retirement is two-thirds salary.
60 1t is not separate from PERS
but is to be administered by that
board. A judge must be a member of
PERS and contribute to it.
az 1t provides for recall of re-
tired judges for actual expenses.
90 The second bill provides fl
nancing from the litigants who use
the courts by increasing fees, which
have not been increased since Mon
tana was admitted to the Union in
1899. From previous studies made,
over $4,000 per year is now taken
in in fees. An actuarial study shows
that the plan will be
self sufficient and will require no
tax monies.-GB

members on the ommittee-two
from the Senate and two from the
House; two were Democrats and two
were Republicans. Over the 22-
month period, his committee met 20
times, made field trips with State
Land Board personnel, held a public
hearing last November, and had one
staff man who put in approximately
ITO hours on research and in attend
ing every Land board meeting dur
ing the period. From this study, five
bills relating to state lands were pre-
pared and are now in the hopper, he
noted.
Rieder, stockman who leases
state lands, went into some detail on
how low rentals are as compared with
private leases. He pointed out that
the committee had sent out thou
sand questionnaires to private lessees
and throughout the State and that
PA had replied. Statewide average
AUM, the missionaries revealed,
was $2.35 per animal unit month.
Noting that Gin some areas be-
ing a good neighbor' precludes
competitive bidding, Rieder said
that only little over three per
cent of the state lands are bid for
AUM on these, he said, is $1.49.
On the balance (of almost four
million acres) the lands go for the
minimum rental-or, in 1860, 81
cents per AUM.
He suggested that if the legisla-
ture isn't willing to make reason
able upwards adjustment in rates,
that the State might do well to put
all its grazing lands under tn ASC
program which would bring in an
average yearly sreturn of 1892 per
section, as comparde with the aver
age $172 now being received via
leasing rentals. The Estate lands are
eligible for this ASC program" he
said.

sTOCKMEN OPPOSE BILL

Stockmen this year, in this column
lists opinion, presented their poorest
case against higher rentals, ever. In
addition to some of the points re-
butted by Kvallen, also:
Feared many of them would go
broke if rentals are raised. (Rep.
Schwinden effectively answered this
point by noting that the average
leaseholder, of 6,4OO, paid only $115
for his lease in the highest rental
year, 1860, and questioned that the
increase proposed under HB 33 could
possibly be the final straw.)
HB 33 would provide a"built-in
disaster for the school leasing pro-
gram" would cause many stock
men to look on such (schooD lands
as luxury :"
"The value of state lands has
been greatly exaggerated !. only a
small portion of school revenues come

OUT-OF-STATERS HOLD
BIG LEASES

Rep. Nichols said that he, too, is
a stockman and that for all of his
support of HB 33 he presumes he
els still a member of Montana Stock
growers Association. Nichols said he
runs his cattle on private lands and
the rentals are quite high" as COM
pared with school leases. He said
he and a number of other stockmen
in Ravalli county ''wish they had
more state lands in their areas avail
able for leasing, particularly at pres
ent low rental rates.
Nichols said that Montana stock
men in opposing fair state rentals,
are certainly giving break to
large leaseholders" many of whom
are out-of-state operators. Among
these, he pointed to the Montgomery
interests of California, one of whom,
Wayne, now lives in Montana. This
firm has $4,000 state acres under
lease. Another out-of-state "stock-
man. is Rock Island Oil Co. with
$4,000 acres under lease. Still an
other has $4,000, and one brewery,
which apparently has developed
plan for homogenizing milk and beer,
has $4,000 acres.
He also noted the lack of competi-
ton in bidding for state lands, and
emphasized that in the few instances
where there is competitive bidding,
the state gets an average of three
times as much in revenue per lease.

Retirement Program Again
Asked By States Judges

Monday afternoon the Montana
Bar Association presented to a joint
House and Senate Judiciary Com
mittee hearing two bills concerning
retirement for judges.
The legal fraternity asked that the
bills be introduced as committee bills,
which means they will have no indi-
vidual sponsor and the influence of
solid committee support.
Similar bills were presented to the
last session of the legislature and
failed to make the grade.
Legal oratory in behalf of the re-
tirement program at the joint hear
ing was followed Monday evening by
dinner for the legislators at the
Montana Club given by the Judges
Association.
Only one state in the Union pays
supreme court justices less than Mon
tana and only two states pay district
court judges less than Montana.

WILL REDUCE LOAN
SHARKS TAKE"

Small loan companies will not be
able to gouge their customers quite
as deeply if SB 81 wins approval of
the Legislature and the Governor.
For example, the person who borrows
$500 for IL months presently pays
35 per cent interest which would be
reduced to 31.6 per cent or if viewed
from the loan companies point of
view it would mean 10 per cent
cut in profits on the deal.
Those who would borrow $500 or
more for year are presently charged
1928 per cent. This would be 28.9 per
cent under the new bill and this level
of lending would see reduction in
profits of IL per cent.
The thousand dollar or more class
of loan would be reduced from 27
per cent to 23.5 per cent with loss
of earnings" amounting to 15 per
cent from the suckers who have been

come a contributor to the tax base

than six per cent of the land, if SD
38 sponsored by Senators John earn

Beaverhead) and Gordon MCGOWAN

session.
The principle involved is similar
to the payments made by the Forest
Service and the Bureau of Land Man
agement. They pay 25 per cent and
so per cent from the earnings from
the land respectively.
This bill would cost the state
