Montana Governor cites copper strike as trigger for two mill tax
Montana Governor Tim Babcock told labor leaders that a copper strike and possible 10 percent federal surtax threaten the state budget, justifying a two mill property tax to offset a dwindling general fund. He warned the levy, urged by the Board of Equalization, is unavoidable if deficits loom and predicted future tax increases absent new revenue sources.

Hearing Today on Mining River Pollution Injunction
A show cause hearing for a permanent restraining of the Anaconda Company's mining pollution of the Clark Fork River is set for 10 a.m. Friday in District Judge Jack L. Green's court. The judge will rule on the unions' venue change to Silver Bow County and on dismissal from the complaint after arguments. Don Aldrich of the Montana Wildlife Federation said a granted venue change would liberalize the injunction and Missoula would bear the river's pollution impact while Butte remains upstream. If no cause is shown the restraining order becomes permanent.
