Court upholds ban on referendums 47 ruling sparks debate
Montana Supreme Court nullifies an act proposing $8 million highway debentures funded by a 6 cent gasoline tax. The decision, in Burgan & Walker v Highway Commission, finds the measure ambiguous and unconstitutional and notes voters and taxpayers differ on who can approve debt. H.

Growers Reminded of Packing Requirements for Wool
Bozeman Montana State College extension livestock specialist E Orcutt reminds wool growers of Commodity Credit Corporation packing rules for 1943 clips. The CCC will apply a 1 percent discount on whole lots unless off wools are packed separately, with off wools defined as tags crutchings dead and murrain wool black wool and other off wools. When separated off wools sell at prices set by the appraisal committee. Following CCC segregation guidance saves about half a cent per pound in discounts.
