governor

Is there any good reason why a man who draws
his income from the public funds should not con-
tribute his due share TO the support of the govern
ment which supports him? We know of none; yet
congress has exempted from the federal income tax
not only most employees of the federal government
but all who draw their pay from state and municipal
government, while the state governments exempt
federal salaries from tax.
Is there something so sacred about a public
office that the person who holds it is not like other
men, but entitled to special consideration because
of his position? 1t has never until lately been so
considered in America. The people who are support
ed by taxes are, or should be, the servants of the
taxpayers, not their rulers. set apart from the COM
mon herd.
The number of government employees is stead
lily a. rapidly increasing. federal, state and local.
There are at least three million taxeaters. Not. all
receive large enough salaries to bring them under
present income-tax provisions; but the time is in
evitably coming when the income tax exemption will
have to be lowered if funds enough are to be found
to keep the machinery of government running.
Why should not the taxeaters take the same
medicine as the rest of us?

Relief for Farmers

Wasteful expenditures of relief monies in past
years=wasteful from the standpoint that when the
money was spent there was nothing left to show
for it-has been the subject of extensive comment
in recent weeks. The contention has been that the
government should, in the relief spending certain to
be made again this year. spend more wisely than
in the past and work for permanent betterment of
the region.
From the farmers of Sheridan county come
suggestions of like nature, made in meetings in
which the men who till the soil have discussed the
farm program of the federal government and make
suggestions for the future. The farmers suggest that
relief money be spent in the form of wages for la
Dor on a plan similar to that of WpA, instead of
going into grants for mere subsistence. They also
suggest that the labor be expended on projects that
will be of actual benefit to individual farmers, such
as dam construction and other conservation work.
What the farmers want is a chance to work,
preferably on their own lands. at labor which will
show results of permanent value. Farmers might
work individually on their separate farms or they
might work in gangs, going from one farm to the
next, but the important consideration would be that
they were doing constructive work for the future.
Their request is only reasonable and one that the
government will do well to grant.

Let Them Be Heard

Governor Roy E. Ayers last week "in defense of
the taxpayers asked for the resignation of two
members of the state liquor control board, men he
had appointed in that office in February.
Ayers, in a press story charges the board with
placing orders for liquor amounting to more than
s14S. 900 for 90 new and untried items. contending
the items will be unstable. It has been the policy Of
the state. the governor says in his charges. to buy
no spirits other than those nationally advertised.
The charges made by the governor constitute
grounds for dismissal. especially a charge that Ii
quors are reputed to have been ordered at prices in
excess of what the merchandise can be purchased
for.
regularities. The people of Montana are entitled to
learn of those charges.
If the contentious made by Ayers are sound.
we compliment him for having the best interests
of the people of this state at heart.
The affair. however. to us. will not be clear
until the ousted members are heard.
Could it be that Good, Donlan and Vaughn, the
discharged MEMBERS. have failed to be "yes-men"
for the chief executive and failed to cling to Hitler
tactics, purported to be a trend in this state at the
present time?
1t does not seem reasonable that any board
could use business tactics as charged by Ayers.
Certainly the boards decisions were executed
with cause. The ousted board members should GER
tainly defend themselves if they have grounds for
defense. Let them speak. The consistent controver-
sial meddlings at the state capital should be aired.
II any statement the ousted members make are
not convincing to us. we will gladly praise, for the
nrst time, ironical as it seems, the policies of the
governor.

upon which the MIRA was declared
