4 LESSON IN DETERMINATIONS

Fire dealt a devastating blow to
three Tabor City brothers two weeks
ago when it rendered total loss the
furniture plant that they had founded
and nurSed into productivity during
the past Year.
The Cox Brothers furniture business
had been nip and tuck ever since it
began. and only 4 few weeks ago had
reached point from which the
chances of showing profit could be
viewed with optimism.
And then comes the fire. and all
that has been worked for is lost
Such an unfortunate stroke of fate
could Understandable discourage the
owners to such an extent that il would
mark the end OF the hare fought Ven

Other Agricultural
Legislation

There were great number of bills
affecting rural Montana in the legis-
lative hoppers in addition to HB 131,
Sub. SD 70 and HB 176, mentioned
above. Some of these measures were:
lib 44--the proposed wheat COM
mission, came up to bat for the third
time, and struck out for an equal
number of times. Unlike in 1857 and
1859, the killing ritual was taken
care of by voice vote in the Senate
after the House had passed the one
fourth of cent tax per bushel for the
commissions operation, TAFT. Farm
ers Union and Farm Bureau Joined
hands on this one in opposition.
lib 1877, lib 227 and lib 266-all
dealt with abolishing the Hail Board
and misappropriating that boards
$2.1 million reserve fund into the
state general fund. Gov. Nutter and
private insurance companies worked
hand in glove in trying to put this
bit of larceny over and succeeded
with votes to spare in the COP House.
In the Senate it was quite another
thing with "a Democrats and three
Republicans joining forces to kill the
key bill, HB 167, by a. 37-195 vote.
(See VOICE, February 24.)
lib 259-a good bill seeking an
appropriation of $4,000 for ex-
banded research at Montana State
College to encourage and assist in
the discovery and development of
new uses for present crops and prod
ucts grown in Montana. This bill was
one of the few measures which would
implement developing of "better
business climate" in Montana. AS its
sponsor, Judge of Lewis & Clark,
said: HB 259 eff enacted could re-
suit in new industry and new jobs
for Montana. 1t would also be boon
to the agricultural industry ;"
Being a true BIC bill, it's life was
very short in the Republican House
of Representatives.
lib 289-was another anti-farmer
coop bill. 1t had as it's aim the bar
ring of corporations exempt from
corporation license tax from supply
ing the needs of the State or any of
it's subdivisions clear down to the
local school district level. This bill
died in the House.
lib 169-sought to prohibit as far
as possible the introduction of nox-
ous weed seeds into Montana, par
by custom combiners who
work all the way from Texas on north
each harvest seacon. Bill died in the
House.
lib 329-was another good bill
which, had it not met an untimely
death in the House, would have de-
fined the term adjusted gross in
Gomez and facilitated collection of
income tax on refunds to farmers
from their co-operatives.

lowed all the schools of Montana to
participate in the $20.4 million school
equalization fund appropriation on
the basis of need;
d. Passed lib 341, which necessi-
tates an ear-marked appropriation
specifically for state transportation
obligations. meaning that if too much
is appropriated, the balance cannot
be used for school equalization pay
ments, and if too little is appropri-
ated, the state cannot meet its obi
cations for transportation;
e. Passed lib 374, intending to keep
equalization payments to Montana
schools within the same amount of
money appropriated in 1859, in spite
of greatly increased enrollments,
forcing the state to meet it's obliga-
ton to schools at an all-time low of
approximately $500;
f. Passed lib 1873 which in the
opinion of school people and several
attorneys acquainted with school law,
would not be workable, and probably
would be unconstitutional;
G. "Killed HB Sc, which would
have raised the standards of teacher
certification in Montana;
h. "Killed lib 76, which proposed
to improve teaching conditions by
offering minimum sick leave pro-
gram.
Every method except an honest
approach was used by the majority
party in the 37th House to solve
the public school appropriation
problem.
"On the 10th day, they received
Sub. Senate Bill 10, which would
have corrected inequities in the pres
ent foundation program and would
have raised the program so that the
schools of the state would receive
1870 of their operational expenses
from this program in which the state
shares.
"On the 54th day, the House killed
Sub. SB Ito by votes of 37-57 and

passed and sent to the Senate Sub.
