the latter was changed to Butte Gun
club. The Butte Gun club at that time
became affiliated with the Amateur

many luxuries with which their Off
cialS like to provide themselves.
Il do not believe the house will ap-
prove a sales tax In fact from my con-
Versations with members I think they
will be opposed to any sales tax pro-
poSal by about two to one.
Nevertheless there must be some
new revenue raised, because economy
alone will not balance the state
budget and allow the government to

Indications are, Speaker Manning
said, that there will be far fewer bills

source of much new wealth in this
state.
Manning, who was chairman of the
appropriations committee two years
ago, has some definite ideas on how
the legislature should economic.
I'VE cannot balance the states
budget If everyone wants the other
fellow to cut his expenditures, while
his own favorite project gets all it
asks.
Economy begins at home, and the
twenty-sixth legislative assembly must
follow that policy If it wishes to ball
ance the states budget. State depart

GRASS AND WATER
CONSERVATION UP
LEGISLATURE TO GIVE IT ESPE-
CIAL CONSIDERATION, SAYS
SPEAKER MANNING
Anticipates Also That ~WheeP' or Ton
Mile Tax On Heavy Trucks WIN Be
Proposed 20 Reimburse State for
Damage to Highways.

Conservation of Montana's nat
ural resources, grass and water,
will be one of the principal sub
jects for constructive Legislation
before the 10Th legislative assem-
bly,, it was indicated few days
ago by Speaker Dave M. Man
ming.
Balancing the state budget will be
one of the difficult tasks Of the legis-
lature, Manning said, but 1t is Of rou-
tine nature and is a biennial Job.
I'VE intend to balance the budget"
he said, but 1t will be from the
standpoint Of economy rather than
with increased taxes"
Concerning conservation, the speak
er said that he intends to push to the
front a committee of the house which
has been rather inactive during the
last several sessions. that on conserva-
ton of resources. The bills which are
aimed to carry out Governor Ayers
recommendations along the line Of
grass conservation will be referred TO
this committee. which will be made up
Of men from all walks of life.
Grass conservation Is more than a
subject for livestockmen." said the
speaker. ut concerns all of us and the
legislation to advance 1t must be
broad. There will have to be legisla-
ton respecting counties rights to take
over land for taxes and to lease 1t
TO those who can best use 1t, as well
as legislation to correct and revise the
present state grazing laws. A non
partisan group can handle this sort

which has been set up for one par
ticular purpose.
Wheel Tax on Trucks
Another new subject which Speaker
Manning anticipates will come before
the assembly will be a wheel tax. or
ton-mile tax on trucks using the high
ways for profit
"T am not ready to comment at pres
ent on the merits of such q measure"
he said. "but I hope that the legisla-
ture will be given statistics and con-
crete evidence on the DAMAGE which
large trucks do to the highways.
know the house will be fair and I
believe the truckers will not object to
paving in proportion for the damage
caused by their vehicles"
Water conservation must also be ad-
vanced. the speaker said. Mr. Manning
was the first chairman of the house
committee on water conservation and
flood control when It was created
three sessions ago He. with Joe Met
len Of Beaverhesd and Piersen Of Vel
lowstone. drafted the first water con-
servation measure. !
I'VE appropriated about 100000
year last session for the water conser-
walton board" said Mr.. Manning. "Al- !
though there has been no definite re-
quests. understand that the board is |
asking for a larger smount this year
IF 1t is at all possible the legislature |
should increase the amount for water |
