cent in the 15-year period, they found
that state governmental employment
had gained 103 per cent, going from
804, 900 in 1916 to 1,627,O in 1861.
On the local governmental level in
the same period, employment in
creased over 80 per cent, or from
2,762,00O in 1916 to 100000 in
1861. This latter bracket includes
county, city. schools, etc.
AS to number of governmental en-
ployees per 1000 population, Tax
Foundations study found that while
federal employment decreased from
Is per 1000 in 1916 to 13 per 1000
in 1861, the trend was strongly in
the other direction at state and local
levels.
State employees in 1916 averaged
five per 1000. In 1861, nine. Local
government employees in 1916 aver
aged 10 per 1000. In 1861, 27.
Overall, there were AZ public
employees per 1000 in 1916, as
compared with 40 in 1861, with

Senate Kills Revamping
OF Financial District Law

Helena and Great Falls, or into the
Dillon or Billings areas where those
districts, too, are very short of match
ing money.
In the House, legislators voted for
or against HB 1914, depending on
whether their areas would benefit on
be harmed. Northwestern county Re-
publicans and Democrats debated and
voted as one in opposition, but the
bill passed primarily because of the
larger voting strength of Cascade,
Yellowstone. and other counties which
would benefit from diversion of
District 8 funds.
In the Senate, after considerable
behind the scenes manuevering, and
after Highway officials had done their
level-headed best to convince that
chambers members that HB 1914 was
good legislation and would expedite
the Interstate construction program,
the issue was Joined Monday of this
week. A motion to indefinitely post
pone carried 1927, with only one
northwestern Senator, McElwain of
Powell, voting against the motion
and in effect voting for giving the
Highway permission to use District
8's funds wherever and however it
might wish.

Dussault (D-Missoula) led the sue

Modest Increase In
Workmen's Comp

Modest increases in Workmen Is
Compensation industrial Accidents
were voted down Wednesday after
noon when Rep. Johnson (D-Deer
LODGE tried to overturn am adverse
committee report on SB 1879, and
failed.
Johnson commended that in the past
several years industrial accident in
surance has not benefited the in
jIred workmen but has been a relief
plan for the doctors and hospitals.
Refunds have been given to industry
because benefits to the injured have
been low, Johnson said, and he added,
the small amount of increase would
not bankrupt anyone. The increases
given in 1861 did NOT add to the cost
of the insurance, according to the
Deer Lodge Democrat.
Rep. Goan (R-Yellowstone) and
Rep. Blewett (R-Cascade) opposed
the bill. Then Blewett walked out
on the roll call vote. He was accom-
panied in his stroll by couple of
other members who have heavy
labor votes in their counties.

Highway Financial District
Act, in many ways is a tribute
to the continuing information
work done by Joe Crosswhite,
Kalispell, business representa-
tive of Operating Engineers
Local 371.
SB 194 proposed repeating the
Financial District Law as it pertains
to the Interstate System. Highway
officials commended that repeal of the
act would permit greater flexibility
in letting contracts on the super
highway system; would eliminate
building a piece here and piece
there; that repeal would be to the
overall benefit of the motoring pub
lie.
Crosswhite saw the matter other
wise. His district, I'D 8, unlike all
except one of the other IL districts,
was not scraping the barrel for funds.
District 8, because few contracts have
been let in Powell, Granite, Missoula
and Mineral counties, has reserve
of $14 million in Interstate funds
for matching with federal money. In
total, that $1.4 million would, when
put to use, result in about $12 mil |
lion of Interstate construction in the |
district, and may jobs for the 600 |

Following release of NRECA's
findings, Montana Powers $4,000

overcharge, contending that his COM

the Montana Public Service Commits

set fair return ON investment of
5.33 per cent for the utility in grant
ing a substantial electric rate in
crease to the company in 1859.
More recent, and more exhaus-
tive investigations than those car
ried on by the Montana regulatory
commission show that MPCo. is ac-
tually receiving 9.3 per cent re-
turn on its investment, and is the
leading money making utility in
the nation. Other studies also show
that Montana Power realizes a net
income of 1875 per cent on total
gross operating revenues as COM
pared with a national private util-
ity average of Is per cent. Lack of
public power competition is major
factor in the utility's superlative
financial condition.
MPCo.'s overcharges, according to
the NRECA report, in 1856 amounted
