the presidents budget recommends
that $35,703,322 be slashed from the

reduce the surplus distribution activ-

that agriculture officials have been
asking for s4OO,OOO,OOO appropriation.
Along with the proposed reduction
in funds for agriculture, went the
recommendation for sharp curtailment
of funds for work relief and public
works. The president asked for a
maximum of s995,OOO,O0O for work re-
lief for the full fiscal year, which is

Dorau, it was revealed, started his

Wisconsin in 1920 with the Institute
for Research in Land Economics and
Public Utilities, an organization de-

the Illinois Committee on Public Util.

When the institute moved to North

While there he wrote book dedicated
to Dean Ralph B. Heilman who, ac-
cording to the ETC, was chairman of
the National Electric Light Associa-
TONS subcommittee on cooperation
with educational institutions.
During that period Northwestern
University received $125,OOO from the
National Electric Light Association,
the organization which purchased pro-

the public utilities.
In 1929-9O, Dorau was paid $1,000

It is probable that these measures

live, eat and clothe themselves, there
is no question that the sales tax Is
not a revenue producing tax. THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR
THE COMMON PEOPLE TO RE
MEMBER IS THAT THEY WILL
PAY THE SAME PROPORTION OF
THIS TAX THAT IS PAID BY THE
WEALTHY; NO MATTER WHAT
THE CLEVER WORDING OF THE
PROPOSED LAW MAY BE.
Up to the time this is written, nc
increase in the license taxes affecting
the great corporations of the state
have been proposed. 1t is probable
however that some such measures will
be in the hopper very soon. The ire
mendous profits made by the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company in the
last two years out of it's operations
and its exploitation of the natural re-
sources of Montana and the labor of
its people, should certainly raise the
question if it should not return more
of it's wealth to the state in the form
of taxes.
Appropriation Bills
Bills appropriating funds for the
conduct of the various state depart
ments have already been introduced.
There are very slight differences in
the appropriations made by the COM
mittee from those which have been in
effect for the last biennium.
Until comprehensive study of the
needs of the departments based on
the value of the services rendered
from a quantity and quality stand
point has been made, the legislature
can make very few changes and such
changes as are made, may be gener-
ally said to be on a basis of personal
opinions or some element of prejudice.
A Commission
Following out the recommendation
of the governor, bills authorizing
commission for the study of our state
governmental structure are in course
of preparation in both houses This
bill which is understood to provide
d COlHpOocu VI tWO
bers from each branch of the assem-
bly, and three members from outside
the assembly are to conduct with the
aid of experts, a complete, compre-
hensive study of the state government
and on the basis of it's findings, out
line necessary legislation to remedy
shortcomings disclosed, to the next
session of the legislature.
So far the legislation considered in
both houses has been of little import
ance, generally speaking. No highly
controversial measures have been up
for vote. Little splurges of animos-
ity has appeared but these have been
of nature which leads one to believe
that they have been injected under
the crafty leadership of the corpora
ton lobby to divide the Independent
and progressive membership on some
emotional and inconsequential matter.
