THE 500 LINE EXTENSION.

tension through central and northern
Montana is welcome news to residents
of this part OF the state. The informa-
ton comes from official sources and
corroborates rumors and gossip that
were based upon the operations of
surveying crews the past season.
According to a public statement by
President Pennington, Of the 500 line,
it Is proposed to expend s25 900, 600 on

INCREASED PUBLIC EXPENSES

The record of the Thirteenth assem-
bly, during the fret three weeks of its
session indicates that it will surpass
its predecessors in the matter of in.
creasing public expenses. Among the
measures that have been introduced
ore several In which additions to the
tax b%urden.are contemplated.
In a billiproviding for the CONSOLE
dation of state educational institu-
tions there Is q provision for q bond
issue OF . million dollars-this pro.
posed Indebtedness to be submitted to
popular vote.
Another measure proposes an sp-
preparation OF 800, 900 for q Montana
exhibit at the. Panama exposition.
1t is proposed In another bill that
about $50, 600 be spent in building and
furnishing ansexecutive mansion, and
that the salary of the governor be in.
creased. Other measures that have
been introduced propose larger ex-
penditures in several departments OF
the state government by increasing
the number of public officials or add.
ing to their e~moluments.
In q reportIsubmitted by Governor
Stewar at the opening Of the session,
1t was estimated that the income of the
state for the next two years will be
about %, 600. 900, while necessary ex.
penditures we're estimated at about
$500, 900. This prospective deficit of
about half q million dollars did not
include increased public expenses that
might be authorized by the assembly,
and which promise to be exceptionally
large. A deficiency OF funds does not
appear to discourage propositions to
neutrality-suspicious. beyond the limit
indicated by the prospective income OF
the state.
1t is quite probable that efforts will
be made to ecu additional revenue
by increasing taxation. That is the
plan usually favored by Montana
legislative assemblies. Sources OF
revenue other than the general tax
levy of 81 mills.may be provided by
legislative en- actment, to meet the in
crease in public expenses.
The cost of government naturally
increases with q growth in population
and wealth, but the taxable resources
are supposedsto increase in like pro-
portion and provide funds to meet
necessary expenditures. An undue
increase in the latter, however, dis
turbs the adjustment and forms an
excuse for upward revision OF laws to
supply revenue.
In msnytparts of Montana the tax
levy for state, icounty and local pur.
pOees amounts to rs or 30 mills-s
rate that is:oppressive to some Of the
property owners affected. They would
appreciate efforts to keep public ex'
penditures within the limit indicated
by the amount of revenue that can bt
