Liquid Feed Supplements
JOHN Z. MARTIN
Mol-Mi'x is a high quality liquid feed supplement with
a molasses base, which supplies energy, protein, vita
mins and trace minerals at low cost. Scientifically
developed to balance grain and roughage intake while
stimulating rumen activity. The Mol-Mix formula aids
in better feeding efficiency, providing lower cost gains
for cattle on range and in the f eedlot.

Business and Politics
Don’t Mix, Say Pa. Reps
Elimination of political
contributions required of
business firms seeking
contracts with the State is
the intent of a series of 15
bills introduced in the House
last week.
The substance of these
bills is based on testimony
given during public hearings
held by the Select House
Committee on Contract
Practices under the
charimanship of Rep.
Patrick A. Gleason (R-
Cambria).
The House resolution
which created the Select
Committee directed it to
prepare remedial
legislation, a responsi
sibility which is now being
partially discharged.
The proposed measures,
which deal principally with
alleged political malpractice
in the awarding of contracts
for road maintenance and
public works, run parallel in
their intent to a Republican
sponsored bill, HB 2363,
passed July 10 and still held
in Senate Committee.
That particular bill would
protect architects and
engineers from political
shakedowns by creating a
three-man Pennsylvania
Public Works Professional
Services Board.
Major bills in the new
package would:
-Force county highway
maintenance offices to lease
equipment for any private
contractors who wish to rent
their equipment to the
Department of Tran
sportation.
Use of equipment must be

rf**.
apportioned equally among
all contractors rather than a
few political favorites, a
practice alleged by wit
nesses at the public
hearings.
-Place all employees in
the Department of Tran
'spoliation under Civil
Service, except the
Secretary, his deputies and
attorneys.
This would free about
10,000 highway maintenance
workers from political
peonage, under which they
are now expected to con
tribute- to the party in
power as a price of holding
their jobs.
-Establish a new
Department of Building
Construction and eliminate
the General State Authority,
which has long been tainted
with reports of political
shakedowns.
-Establish -fair leasing
procidures for real property
and equipment leased
through the Department of
Property and • Supplies,
which has recently been
charged with gross political
favoritism in its operations.
-Create a State Bond
Counsel to do legal work on
State issues, replacing
favored law firms which
receive large fees just to
help the State borrow
money.
-Establish a Bureau of
Risk Manager to prepare
specifications for State in
surance policies, and require
at least three bids from
different insurers specifying
coverage, rates and com
missions to be paid.
-Require more detailed
disclosures of officers and
directors of companies doing
business with the State,
especially companies
created for this sole purpose
under fictitious names.
-Provide that the Auditor
General must receive copies
of all contracts exceeding
$5OO paid with State funds.
The Legislature still has
time to consider and pass
these bills which will go a
long way to give Penn
sylvanians the kind of clean
State Government. they
deserve, a Government for
which they will pay over $4
billion in tax dollars this
year.
