Back Door Approach
For labs Plan II

Recently we commented adverse.
ly on SB 90, and pointed out that
it had as its purpose the permitting
of private insurers (Plan ID to write
workmen's compensation insurance
for contractors on public works.
Presently, such contractors must car
ry their disability insurance through
the State Plan (Plan IID.
Since then, another bill aimed at
accomplishing the same objective,
SD PIP, by McElwain by request,
was dropped in the hopper just be-
fore the Saturday afternoon deadline
for introduction of bills.
SB PIP, instead of broadening the
same act by additional words, simply
deletes the portion of 92-206 wherein
public contractors were included
among those who had to secure their
insurance through Plan III only.
SD 80 or SD PIP, the result would
be the same, and, if enacted, for many
a disabled worker, a poorer settle
ment, plus attorney fees expended
to bring the private insurer to time.

Rest Periods for
Retail Clerks

A bill which would statutorily pro-
vide rest periods for retail store
employees, and which would be of
value to the health of clerks in or
ganized communities as well as mem
bers of the Retail Clerks Union, IS
lib 257, by Tracy, Healy and Lom-
bardi.
HB 258 would amend the eight
hour law as it pertains to retail clerks
by adding a new section which would
allow 1O-minute rest period "mid-
way in each four hours of work" on
the employers time.

Summer Camp for Kids

House Joint Resolution 8, by Watt
Thompson, Good, lombard, Davis
Gill, Northey, Deschamps, Murray
and Haines, requests the Governor
to appoint committee ito study and
report ON the advisability of estab-
fishing summer camps for teen-age
youths in state forests and state
parks -
Such youth projects, the sponsors
of HJR point out, would help high
school youth who fare unable to find
summer employment" with the result
that "idleness, especially in youth,
promotes delinquency :" and that
''many Montana youths drop out of
high school each year unprepared for
gainful employment -
Summer work in the forests and
, parks, to which "there is practically
no limit (by way of useful prof.
ects which could be carried on :"
would be forwarding" physically,
mentally and emotionally for many
frustrated youths -
The proposed commission would
range inasize from 10 to 20 members
and would be instructed to report
it's findings to the 39th Legislative
Assembly.
Youth camps were set up in the
State of Washington couple of years
ago. While only in operation short
while. Washington officials are most
enthusiastic over the many beneficial
effects being received by youth who
otherwise would probably be unem-
ployed. They are also well satisfied
with the improvements such youth
are making in forests and parks
needed improvements which likely
would not have been undertaken IT
there hadn't been compelling socio-
logical reasons for establishing the
Youth Corps.

AS of Press Time
By GRETCHEN G. BILLINGS

House Bill los, the Coop Tax Bill,
is still in committee as the VOICE
goes to press, but Wednesday after
noon the Chief Clerk read commit
tee report that HB los "do not pass
which made legislative observers pick
up their ears and Elmer Schye (R-
Meagher) paw the rug and nearly
tear his desk mike out by the roots.
Schye informed the Speaker that
House Bill los was still being con-
sidered by subcommittee and had
no business being reported out, so
the legislative gremlins b in G
thwarted the Coop Tax Bill remains
in committee.
Along with los are HBs 268 and
269 which many believe will bring
more money to the state treasury
than los, because the tax will be paid
by the individuals receiving the pa
tronage refund in whatever form and
as much as 500 of that money will
be taxed at from % to TO, whereas
under HB 1O5 the patronage refund
would be taxed to the cooperative if
it were not returned to the patron
in cash.
Among other bills in which farmers
have an interest is the Wheat Com
mission Bill, lib liz, which was
scheduled for third reading Thurs
day.
The Wheat Commission proponents
yielded many points they have prev
iously refused to give up to get the
bill passed this session. They amended
out the election of commission men,
bers which had been said to be costly
and changed it to appointed MEM
bers; they amended it to make it pos
sible for a wheat farmer to get his
entire levy back if he applied for it,
and they put limit of seven years
on the existence of the commission,
at which time it would be recon
sidered by the legislature.
The Wheat Commission is opposed
by both the Montana Farmers Union
and the Montana Farm Bureau and
by the Montana Grain
Growers Association: Observers have
said the bill would not pass the House,
however there was no indication this
was true during debate Wednesday.
Hum 2 concerning the Reclamation
Act which is a letter to Congress
asking that the 16O-acre limitation be

$4,000 Tax
Melon Denied
State Banks

Bankers who were signally success
full in securing Legislative favors in
both the 1857 and 1859 sessions, have
found the going somewhat tougher
since. This year, as in 1861, the
state-chartered banks presented a
strong case in behalf of exempting
them from the Corporation License
Tax, and this session, as in 1861,
their efforts have come TO naught.
The exemption would have cut their
taxes by am estimated $264,0OO a
year.
State Banks, claiming with some
Justification that they are at an
overall disadvantage in competing
with acknowledgement banks, al
lowed that everything could be made
even-steven by giving them corpor-
alton tax exemption status similar
to that accorded the Fraternal Order
of Eagles, the churches, union, or
a chamber of commerce. The Senate,
with state bank stakeholder Sen. Nc
Donnell R-Sweetgrass) helping to
lead the fight lin opposition, decided
otherwise, and killed SB 10 by
22-31 vote.
Consensus was that, in a time when
Montana is seriously strapped for
money and local property taxes soar
ing, further tax relief for bankers
would leave very bad taste in the
general public's mouth. The sought
after relief, various Senators held,
should be lobbied for at the federal
level via permitting states to tax
nationally -chartered banks.

Shopping centers in the Washing

Often the auditorium is connected

Prince Georges Plaza, for example, it
belongs to the center itself and is
managed by the merchants association.
Marvin Blake, promotion director

the auditorium there was used last

Fall Feeding of Trees
Differs From Spring

far between, It is customary to
operate on the basis Of generally
recommended rates of feeding.
They are, for trees eight inches
or more in diameter at breast
height, five lbs. per inch of di-
ameter.
For trees of less than eight
inches in diameter, pa lbs. per
inch. Obviously, where surface
( e e ding is apple d these
amounts should be increased.
When feeding where holes are
used this rate should be fairly
adequate. Since the injector
type feeding uses a specially
prepared cartridge, the rate Of
application should be based
upon the manufacturers direc-
tons.
Because we have no accurate
means of knowing the trees re-
quirements the rate of growth
and the size and color of the
foliage must be depended upon
to indicate whether or not the
tree is being adequately fed.
The quantity and type of fertil-
izer can then be adjusted to
achieve the desired results.

Bulbs Need Water,
Gardeners Warned

Fall gardeners are advised by
the Netherlands Flower-bulb
Institute that because of the
drought conditions in
many sections of the country,
bulbs planted this fall should be
thoroughly watered. A recent
survey indicates a lack Of rain
fall-in some areas a shortage
of 10 inches or more-in most
States east Of the Rockies.
Normally, bulbs require one
good watering at planting time,
with nature usually providing
excellent rainfall during the
following fall months. This year,
however, gardeners must take
the responsibility of regularly
watering their gardens unit
nature takes over, or, until the
ground hardens.

By WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
Star Garden Editor

The shade trees growing in
our yards need an annual feed
ing.
In the woodlands the fallen
leaves decOmpOse and return
the materials to the soil where
they may again be taken up by
the tree roots. In our yards we
rake up and compost or burn
this normal source of plant food
and thus deprive the trees of
these nutrients. Few 60 so far
as to even apply sufficient plant
food for the turf consequently
too often the tree leaves are I'M
derSiZed and anemic.
Trees may be fed in the fall
or in the spring. However, the
gardener should not use the
same type Of plant food in the
fall as he should for the spring.
The fertilizers for fall feeding
are largely organic and are
available to the tree roots only
through bacteria action. Moreo-
yer, a granular type of material
is preferable since it slow S
down the release of the plant
food. Spring feeding may be
either the organic or the inor-
ganic since at that time the tree
roots are active and they can
take up the soluable inorganic
materials as they are released.
These are three general meth
DDS of applying fertilizers to the
tree roots.
One: A generous supply of
plant food may be distributed
on the surface of the ground
over the root area. Watering
and rains carry it down to the
feeding roots in the same way
that takes place in the wood
lands. However, the quantity
should be great enough so that
the grass beneath the tree will
not collar" it all and there will
be some to penetrate down ia
the tree roots.
Two: Holes spaced 2 feet
apart and Is to 10 inches deep
may be drilled or punched into
the soil. A pint of fertilizer is
poured into each, the hole filled
with soil, and the turf divot re-
placed.
Three: Probably the easiest
method for the homeowner is to
use the soil injector tube which
attached to the end of the gar
den hose. The fertilizer car
fridge is inserted and the water
disolves the plant food and car
ries it down into the soil.
The area of application Of
these fertilizers should begin
about midway b between the
trunk and the outer edge of the
limb spread and it should ex-
tend several feet beyond the
limb spread.
The amount Of plant food
needed by a tree will vary con-
siderably. Not only is the rich
ness of the soil a factor but also
the kind of tree and its rate Of
growth. Since adequate studies
Of tree variations are few and
