Montana State College
Next Year

Montana State College is to receive
an appropriation of $2O4,OOO from thu
state funds for next year, according
to advices from President Atkinson's
office. This, with money derived
from student fees, departmental in
comes, and other sources, will aggre-
gate about $4,000, according to
present estimates. The total appro-
priation for last year was $4,000.
| Thus, it is seer that the income for
next year will be around $4,000 to
$4,000 less than for the present year.
This is due to the fact that the state
income is drawn from a straight mill
tax.
When in 1920 an act was passed
levying a one and One-half mill tax
for the teaching institutions Of the
state, the assessed valuation of the
state was $6OO,OOO,O 900. Last year il
was only $467, 100000 and this year
it has dropped further to $442,OOO,O00

Undermining and, cOncurrently, the de-

less understood. In 1919 Montana
had 2O,7OO people engaged in manu-
featuring operations. In round
figures, 0ne-fifth Of the pOpu-
lation of the state was dependent up
on industry. This figure is perhaps
startling but can be understood only
in comparison with the average for
the country as a whole. Had Montana
produced her full share of the nations
goods she would have received $780,
100000 in that year and would have
employed 45,5OO workers. Were Mon
ltana to develop her share Of manu-
featuring industry she would increase
her in come by $15O,OOO,OOO and her
population by $4,000 people.
It is not out of the realm of posi-
bility for US to expect this develop
ment, or ever such as might rank the
state above the average and some
where near the greater industrial
states of the east. We produce 4h
