recently their local money-making
potential has been discovered.
The most recent Visionary ac-
tivity is in the field of Unemploy-
ment Compensation. The unemployed
worker is a devil nodded during the
past three years and must be con-
sidered good for a few bucks to the
former UCC Chairman who helped
create it. He is the president of a
group calling themselves Unemploy-
ment COMPENSATION Advisers, Inc,
consisting of his father, his uncle
and himself) whose aim is to collect
few thousand dollars to act as torch
bearer of the program to further cur
tail unemployment benefits.
A letter to employers from this
intrepid devil fighter says "amend-
ments to the law enacted by the
1861 Montana Legislative Assembly
went a long way to correct many
distortions enacted in three earlier
sessions. but this accomplishment is
not permanent. nor did it encompass
all that should and can be corrected"
(The garnish of greedy hope that en-
ployers can save little more for
their own pockets out of UCC,)
Continuing, cit takes but one legis-
lative session to again reverse the
picture and to increase unemploy-
ment taxes beyond anything we have
yet experienced and to again trans
form the unemployment compensa-
ton program into freeloader's
gravy train entirely apart from its
original detectives. GA sprinkle of
fear and a dash of hate).
This so-called non-profit making
offers not only legisla-
tive assistance. The letter says, at
will also serve as the Helena repre-
sentative for employers in matters
before the Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission and assist them
in any inquiries they may have con-
corning unemployment claims, un-
tax rates, chargebacks,
etc., including federal unemployment
tax matters, service which has been
desired by many employers who could
not afford the repeated expenses of
rips to Helena And little some
hing extra is added for your fee,

given in matters dealing with other
state boards and commissions.
