Recreation
Tax Election
Is Approued

A special recreation tax will be
submitted to Chapel Hill voters
in the Town elections next MAY.
The Board of Aldermen passed
a resolution calling for the refer
endum Monday night after re-
cciving request from the Rec
reation Commission, transmitted
by Commission Chairman B OBJ
B0yce.
The tax would be levied at a
rate of not less than three cents
nor more than ten cents per hum
lred dollars property valuation
within the Town.
Mr.. Boyce told the Aldermen
the tax, if passed, would provide
Chapel Hills recreation program
around $4,000 per year if the full
10 cent rate were collected. This
would be about $4,000 more than
the Commissions budget for 1868.
The tax has been under dis
cussion for some time. The Com
mission is presently faced with
the possibility that funds for 1863
will run out at the end of nine
months, since the Community
Council has had to cut ALLEGATIONS
to all agencies roughly 20 per
cent.
The election will be confined to
Chapel Hill, Mr.. Boyce said in
reply to questions from Alder
man Paul Wager, who inquired
as to the possibilities of rec
reation district larger than cor
porate Chapel Hill.
Such a district would be pos
sible, Mr.. Boyce said, but not
recommended. Participants from
outside Chapel Hill would be per-
mitted on a fee system.
A 1857 recreation tax election
failed to carry. However, it was
felt that the bulk of opposition to
the tax at that time came from
Carrboro, which was included in
the vote. The upcoming election
would be confined entirely to
Chapel Hill.
Mr.. Boyce presented a request
last week to the Carrboro Board
Of Commissioners that Carrboro
take whatever treasures they felt
appropriate to support a public
recreation program for the en-
tire area.

reation Commission h ad the

In adopting the resolution the
Aldermen reversed an almost
two-year-old position of refusing
to intervene in the question of
where the line would be located.
Basis. for the switch came in
large part from a letter from

that the University had not re-
quested the line and had been
surprised to learn that its con-

Yet, though lower bracket
elected and appointed officials and
employees were looked upon with
disdain, very healthy pay increases
were voted state elected officials
and top administrative personnel,
most of which become effective in
1865.
The only labor group to receive
anything out of the House was print
ing industry employees, and they
likely would have suffered the same
as all others except the legislation
sought was of mutual benefit to in
dustry employers. SB 189 by Reardon
revises the 1897 ''label" law to elimi-
nate the threat of it being declared
unconstitutional, thereby leaving the
industry vulnerable to the cutthroat
of low-wage "right-to-
work" printing houses in the Deep
South. This new law will make moot
a pending suit challenging the con-
of the 1897 law.

Executive Director Gene Tidball
and his staff of the Montana Legis-
lative Council have their work cut
out for them the coming biennium.
Herewith is a 11-point list of the
course of study" a joint Senate
House committee has recommended
that the Council ''wise-up' ON be-
tween now and the 49th Legislative
Assembly.
1. Compile cumulative bill index.
2. Study fidelity bonding require
ments of Montana laws and actual
procedures employed in bonding pub
lie officials.
3. Examine fees collected by state
agencies.
4. Revise and clarity laws relating
to custodial institutions.
5. Study the property classification
law.
6. Study legislative rules.
z. Study the feasibility of inaugur-
ating comprehensive system of per-
sonnet management for state govern
ment, and of administratively consoli-
dating the retirement system for pub
lie employees.
8. Study the operation, personnel
system and administration of the
Montana Liquor Control Act.
9. Study investment practices of
state governments.
10. Continue the study of govern
ment reorganization, which could in
clude a study of organization of state
agencies concerned with economic de-
and the attraction of in
dustry.
IL. Develop a program to achieve
full development and utilization of
water resources and related lands.

be buying a "pig-in-a-poke" if
they vote down the wheat pro-
gram in this springs referen-
dunn on the basis of American
Farm Bureau Federation Pres
ident Charles B. Shuman's be-
lief that Congress would pass
new wheat legislation if the refer
endum fails, according to James G..
Patton, president of National Farm
ers Union.
In an address at the annual meet
ing of the Farmers Union Central
Exchange last week, Patton accused
Shuman of wishful thinking when
he (Shuman) said that "After de-
feat of the certificate plan in the
wheat referendum, new wheat legis-
lation will be aggressively supported
in the Congress by bipartisan group
of influential legislators.
"It is never safe to predict what
Congress will or will not do" Patton
said, "but only the naive and the
uniformed could believe that Con-
gress, after years of tough work to
find solution to the nagging wheat
problem, would cheerfully drop its
work on other great problems and
start all over again on a wheat bill
when the 1864 program was, in their
Judgment, the very best that could
be enacted"
Patton added that although he
did not know what "group of in
fluential legislators" Shuman had
reference to, a number of other
government leaders have come to
opposite conclusions.
These leaders, Patton declared. in
clude President Kennedy who said |
that ''New legislation for wheat is |
neither necessary nor feasible this
year.;
Sen. Allen J. Ellender, chairman
Of the Senate Agriculture Committee,
who said that cit would be calami- |
5ous to the wheat farmers of the
nation if a negative vote is cast be-
cause Congress cannot and should
not take action to further deal with
The wheat program for this year.;
Rep. w. r. Poage, second-ranhng |
member of the House Agriculture |
Committee, who said any attempt to
enact new wheat legislation would
lot "get to first base" because most
would feel that wheat
armers have had their chance, with
he resulting attitude that 1--WE don't
we them anything.
Patton also cited a typical comment
rom a city Congressman - Rep.
rank Thompson of New Jersey who
aid that 81 will look to this wheat ;

staunch supporter of farm pro- {
rams in the past, Thompson said eff {

IMPROVED CREDIT UNION
LAW, MISCELLANEOUS

One of the few constructive actions
of the 38th was enactment of Dus-
sault's SD 81, general overhaul of
state credit union laws. Today most
credit unions are organized under
federal charter because Montana law
was so very much out of date. Pa
tient MISUNDERSTANDING work by
Montana Credit Unions League di-
rector William Hensel played major
role in securing enactment of the
modernized credit union law.
Gov. Babcock and his Highway De-
partment failed to secure enactment
of one of his major recommendation
the voiding of the highway finan-
cial district law as it pertains to use
of Interstate funds. HB 1874 went
through the House, in spite of strong
opposition by northwestern Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike who saw
the Missoula District 81 surplus of
Interstate matching funds purloined
away if the proposal passed. In the
Senate it was different story, and
by vote of 20 to 27 it was ordered
that no tampering with the law be
permitted. Credit for killing HB 1914
goes in large part to Joe Crosswhite,
Kalispell, business representative Of
Operating Engineers Local 371, and
to Sens. Dussault, Missoula; and
Manoney, Sanders.
Except for the mobilize hysteria
which was generated over a uni
versity professor speaking the
truth about the demoralizing influ-
ence of right-wing extremists and
their corporate hackers on Mon
tana affairs, the "Birchians"
achieved few successes in the 1861
session. Their textbook tampering
bill Glib 1879, and various other
proposals to force thought con-
formity were made short work of.
There is, however, a sober warn
ing in the strength they were able
to muster in their unsuccessful at
tempt to stop House approval of
the u. s. Constitutional amend
ment abolishing the poll tax as
qualification for voting in federal
elections. With only moderate
increase in their strength at an
other election, the extremists
would very definitely be able to s
control the House.

issues concerning welfare, education,
liquor, the Moscow Plan" to take

Court justices, legislation to curb
the single-purpose attitude of the
Highway Department in locating
roadways along streams, punitive leg
islation against the Hutterite relig-
ious minority, to implement urban
renewal, another attempt TO burglar
ize the Hail Trust Fund, etc. Various
of these wills be gone into in some
detail in subsequent issues of the
