BPA To Pioneer In
Transmission of

PORTLAND, ORE.-(CNS)-A
federal agency will experiment with
a power transmission line carrying
three times as many volts as is used
anywhere in the u. S. today.
If the experiment. works, it will
be economically feasible to bring
electric power from Boulder Dam
to Minneapolis, from Alaska to ST.
Louis and will make standby gen.
Grating equipment largely obso-
lete.
Bonneville Power Administration
is spending $3.50, 1000 to take some
of the power from The Dalles Dam
on the Columbia River, convert it
from alternating to direct current,
and send it out over a 100000
volt line. The biggest commercial
transmission line in the u. S. now
is 345, 00O-volt.
Said Interior Secretary Stewart
Udall, eff our research is success
ful-and we have every reason to
believe it will be-economic trans

tended from a few hundred to
many thousands of miles"

TOSSED BACK INTO
LAP OF LEGISLATURE

The high courts statement that
''the Legislature in adopting the fed
eral income. tax liability formula
specifically excluded certain dividend
deductions allowed by federal law
but no such exclusion was made of
patronage refunds or dividends does
not in any way touch upon the ques~
ton whether such patronage refunds
are income to farmer-owned co-opera-
tives. Actually, the court is saying
it is the Legislatures prerogative to
further amend State tax law to in
clude such refunds as allowable de-
auctions of cooperative corporations
Board members Chairman Dan Full
ton and John Alley voted for the
drastic revision of taxing regula-
tions. Board member Ed Byrne,
backed up an opinion by Attorney
General Forrest HI. Anderson, OPP
posed the revised regulations.

BOARD ACTED IN
ARBITRARY MANNER

However, many co-operatlves, con-
tending that the Board majority* had

ity, did not pay the tax as defined in
the amended regulations. They made
the point that the second bill which
defined gross income to be that as
recognized in the determination OF
the corporations federal income tax
liability permitted them to deduct
patronage refunds or dividends as
provided in the federal law and regu-
lations.
The Board of Equalization brought
this action for a declaratory judy
ment, joining three types of co-ops
as representative of the class.
Montana Council of Co-operative's
Attorney Hugh Massman, Helena, in
the district court filed motions to
dismiss the action which were sus-
tanned and the action dismissed.
On appeal to the Supreme Court
the Board contended that since the
Legislature had denied co-ops their

Legislatures intention in providing
that gross income should be the same
as used in determining the federal
income tax liability to permit deduc-

The Supreme Court holds in its
opinion that where language is
clear and unambiguous the court
cannot be guided by what is as
serted to have been intended.
The opinion points out that the
Legislature in adopting the federal
income tax liability formula specific

tions allowed by federal law but no
such exclusion was made of patron
age refunds or dividends. The Boards

COul d1IlIIIlcQ oil earlier Tul-
ing by Judge Victor H. Fall of the
First Judicial District, Helena.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice James T. Harrison and con-
Cured in by Associate Justices Hugh
Adair, Wesley Castles, John C. Harri-
son and Stanley M. Doyle.
The controversy arose as the re-
suit of two bills containing amend
ments to. the corporation license tax
law which were passed by the 1861
Legislature. The first bill was Chap
ter 155 (HB 1917 and it's purpose
was to eliminate the exemption
granted to cooperative corporations.
Under this act the Board of Equali-
cation amended it's regulations to
make the law effective.

At the press convention Babcock
told the editors he favors abolishing
the constitutional elective office of
Attorney General and would endorse
a constitutional amendment to pro-
vide for gubernatorial appointment
of the states chief legal officer.
"Babcock favors abolishing the
constitutional elective office of the
Attorney General so that he may ap-
point his own Attorney General"
Anderson continued. SIN his next
breath Babcock told the press of Mon
tana what they should call their best
story for 1862.
RECALLS HITLER'S RISE
TO POWER
'This is the course the little cor
poral took in establishing Hitlerism
in Germany during the 1920's. This
is the course Stain, Khrushchev and
the Russian boys take in Russia, Cas-
tro in Cuba, and this is the course
the little trucker wants us to
swallow to establish babcock-ism in
Montana" Anderson said.
THE way to destroy our great
American system is to abolish the
chief constitutional legal officer
and then tell the press what to say
and what not to say, then abolish
the courts and the legislature and
set your own boys in power. With
this accomplished, the people be
damned"
Governor Babcock doesn't want
true legal opinion, he doesn't want
to sit in council with people who may
disagree with him on policy. He wants
