SNOWDEN'S BUDGET
WILL RAISE TAXES
British Chancellor Estimates
193O-31 Revenue at
$3,945, 900, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April IA Chancellor
Snowden in his budget speech today
estimated the revenue of Great Britain
for 193O-31 on a new basis of increased
taxation at f789 900, 445 (about $3,945,-
000,000), with an estimated surplus of
f2,236,0OO (about 100000.
SnoWden announced that in his search
for new duties he had looked to beer,
and that the duty of the standard bar
rel of beer would be raised from tomor-
row by three Shillings.
He had received assurances from the
brewers this would not raise the price
to the public. This would produce E2.-
100000 this year and 100000 in the
full year.
The chancellor announced that he
would propose legislation to prevent the
avoidance Of estate duties through the
medium of private companies and the
avoidance of the surtaX by a single
premium insurance.
Two Questions Faced.
He would also ask for legislation re-
garding the liability to income tax Of
non-residentS trading in Great Britain,
The chancellor said he had to con-
slider two questionS-D whether 70
make any further change in the fixt
debt provision and 90 how the budget
deficit of 1929 was to be dealt with.
The present position encouraged the
hope of continuance of cheap money,
and he estimated a reduction of f1l,-
100000 in the floating debts cost as
compared with last year. He felt juSti-
fed in leaving the fixed debt charge
where 1t was.
Regarding the budget deficit, the
chancellor said it was his intention to
propose an alteration in the law bear
ing on budget deficits generally.
He then proceeded to deal with esti-
mates for the coming year, noting a re-
ductiOn in expenditure in the fighting
services of more than E7,00000 corr
pared with three years ago. This.
however, was not as much as he would
like to see.
He thought that every one agreed it
was deplorable that IL years after the
war Great Britain and the other powers
should be spending so much of their re-
sources on huge ornaments, when
more than SO nations have Solemnly re-
nounced war as an instrument of ma
tional policy and have pledged them
selves never to resort to war for settle
hlcAIO Va lLllCIldIIOAdl disputes.
Sees No General Vote in 1880.
The chancellor indicated he did not
anticipate a general election this year,
saying he had not found it necessary to
provide in this financial year for such
expenses.
He informed the Commons that safe
guarding duties would be allowed to ex-
pire at their fixed rate, not to be re-
newed.
Mr.. Snowden said that he would
abolish the last vestiges of the in
glorious betting tax" He asserted that
abolition of this tax would be f2O0,O 900
in the full year and $4,000 for the
rest of this year
The lapse in the safeguarding duties,
he said. would cost 1921 900 this year
and 1928 900 in the full year.
After giving the estimated expendi-
lures and receipts showing that there
would be f42 100000 less receipts than
expenditures under the existing laws.
the chancellor said new taxation there
fore was unavoidable.

The ample supply OF water, when and as needed, furnished by
the irrigation projects operating in this section make the one needed

igently apply themselves to the business of farming; and the vision
created which they have proved is a possibility, sees Pondera county

see fit to call the legislature into session in order that the necessary
steps be taken to provide the means of Immediately taking advan
tae of the s6,OOOO00 of federal aid road funds, belonging to Montana

The very fact definite action had been taken in the matter would
have had strong moral effect on laboring men and business in gen.
eral far in advance of the date when the work got into swing. Be-
way program would be of immense value to Montana
Other states are considering, and some will doubtless adopt, some
method Of embracing the opportunity to relieve, to some extent, the
condition of unemployment In the aggregate the effect would be
of vast benefit. Naturally such a program at this time would go to
the credit of the administration, but political considerations should
not stand in the way of a great movement so obviously for the bene-
fit of the whole people. The decision of the Governor is further
evidence that a legislature is a slow, uncertain and expensive method
of getting things done.

(From the Anaconda Standard)

Slight agitation has bobbed up in parts of the middle west anent
giving the Missouri river its due, meaning that it is advocated that
the name Missouri river be conferred upon it's understanding ten
tace. Suppose that were done. The change would start at Three
Forks, where the Galaun, Madison and Jefferson rivers form the
Missouri. The two former streams would retain their present no
mencIature because the Jefferson and it's chef tributary, the Beaver
head, would then become the Missouri
The Beaverhead has its origin high in the peaks of the Rocky
mountains southwest of Monida, way up on the divide that marks
the boundaries of Montana and Idaho Conceivab1y the mighty stream
that discharges it's usually trugid burden into the Mississippi at ST.
Charles, Mo, might be ashamed Of its humble beginning in a spring
likely, near the top of some mountain range. But the idea seems to
be growing in favor along the lower reaches of the Missouri and
might come to pass.
Of law, such a $ state rights. Because the government has jurisdiction
over certain streams may mean that a act Of congress would be
necessary. Again it might rest with the Montana state legislature.
But it is safe to say that residents along the Jefferson and Beaver
head for centuries will cling to the old names, preferring them to
the doubtful glory Of living on, o adjacent to the longest river in
the United States"
