The Senate, by finally accepting
he House amendments to Senate Bill
No. |, definitely ended the Chancellor
iystem for the University of Mon
ana, but the sponsors Of the House
amendments are convinced that most
# the essential features of central
zed control have been preserved. As
his is written, the measure is in the
lands of the Governor for his APP
,roval or disapproval. Should he veto
It, there is little prospect that it
.ould be passed over the veto.
The revenue measures that meet
most common approval are the So
allied Chain Store tax, the cigarette
ak and the income tax. The corpora
ion license tax that would increase
he rate from one per cent to four
,er cent stands possibility OF pas
age as the situation now appears.
There is a divided opinion on both
he natural gas and the hydro-electric
ak. A measure to double the inherit
lnce tax has also been under consid-
Grafton. Under existing conditions,
some of these taxes would produce
little in revenue but when and ii nor
nal conditions return, most Of these
proposals would produce consider
lble volume of new revenue. The opin-
on appears to prevail that all Of
these new revenues should be used as
replacement tax so as to relieve ex-
:essive tax on real property. However,
it should be understood that several
of these measures or perhaps major
ty Of them will fail Of enactment.
Should all or even a majority be en-
acted into law, in normal times as
fas as the state itself is concerned,
special taxes would produce as much
or more revenue than property tax.
However, a considerable portion of
this new revenue would be diverted
to the common school fund and re-
distributed to all sections of the state
with the object or relieving property
Of portion of the property tax bur-
den for school purposes.
Economy and relief measures, so
called, have been insistent factors in
the work of the present session. Some
have failed, many VIII be passed, but
it remains to be seen in the practical
working out whether they can to any
degree fulfill the thing for which
they were designed. Certainly many
of them are open to question. That
some foolish legislation will be pro-
duced can be expected. Members are
and have been laboring under diff
ficult conditions with prejudice and
AM mostly far more pronounced than
at any time in recent years. Economy
hoped for may prove to be bogus
economy; relief sought may in the
long run only add to distress. There
are conditions and circumstances that
cannot even remotely be reached by
legislative enactment.
|
AS the session nears the end, Sum
day and night sessions are in order
and these bring little relief to the
over-wrought nerves and scrambled
dispositions of the members of the
legislature. There are but few in the
membership, judging from common
comment, that will not welcome that
last legal day which under the pres
emit congested condition gives prom
ise Of stretching out into several days,
as time is counted outside Legislative
i halls

Columbus Mistake

Here is an interesting news item from Seville. Spain. Professor Romulo Carbia of Argentina said yesterday in an interview that he was convinced that Columbuss dis covery of America was purely accidental, and history was falsfied to cover the fact that he did not suspect the existence of a new world. The news, to us North Ameri- cans, isn't in any new revelation, but rather in the fact that South American professor should be so naive as to think he had new revelation, and that anyone in Spain would be impressed by it. Don't our school chil- dren still learn in their history classes, as we grown-ups did, that Columbus died in prison ignorant that he had found new world?
 The great discoverer of course. was look ing for Asia when he ran into America. He and his immediate successors evidently thought they had reached India, or the East Indies. Hence the name Indians which they gave to the natives, and which has been cause of confusion ever since. We need not hold it against Columbus. though. Most of the worlds great explorers. in all felds have blundered into their most valuable dis eoveries while looking for something else. Many of our great inventions came that way.

A Prophecy Ignored

Whatever may be the upShot of Gerard SwopeS suggestion for administration of the MIRA program by American business men, it at least serves to call attention anew to the fact that being prophet is a pretty thankleSs sort of job. It was several years ago that Mir Swope first suggested to Amer iean business men that they would eventu- ally have to devise some means by which the national economy could be run according to plan.
 At that time Mr Swope outlined tenta- tive framework for attaining that end. The leaders of industry read it, remarked that it was very pretty but rather impractical, and went back to their knitting. And when Mir Swope remarked that if business men didn't cook up some such plan themselves the gov- ernment would sooner or later cook up one for them. they looked the other way and began talking about their golf scores, or something.
 Now Mir Swope stands as a prophet whose prediction has been fulfilled; and if he had added an T told you so" to his most recent proposal, no one could have blamed him. Our ideas have changed in the last couple of years. When Mir Swope first suggested his plan. it aroused only sort of academic in- terest. Now it is live issue; and the in- teresting thing about it is that the nation has almost unanimously accepted its underly- ing principle.
 This principle is common to Mir Swope's plan and to the existing MIRA set-up as well. And it is, simply, that some sort of widespread cooperative control has got to be instituted over the nations business and in- dustrial life, for the sake of the individual business man and, for the sake of the nation as whole.
 Our present regime vests such control pri- marly in the federal government; Mir Swope's plan would vest it primarily in a council of the business men themselves. To be very blunt about it, your choice between the two schemes will depend largely on whether you think the business community can be trusted.
 But the important thing is that the prin- ciple of unified control has been accepted. When Mir Swope first raised his voice, hardly anybody would listen to him. Now his underlying principle is taken for granted. The only difference of opinion is about the best way to put it into practice.

Cars and Feet

The fear that use of the motor car was going to make people forget how to use their feet seems to have been unfounded. While motoring was something of novelty and the ease of covering great distances in a short time was still a source of sur- prised satisfaction. people preferred motor ing to walking. Lately motoring has come to be regarded as means of transportation rather than as recreation in itself. People now use cars to take them somewhere quickly. then get out and walf for pleas ure.
 That seems to be the explanatoin of re- ports from some of the national parks that. during the past summer. more tourists than ever before parked their cars in the places provided and took to the foot trails. tramp ing at leisure where year or two ago they would have driven at the speed limit. It is wise division of service between cars and feet.
