HELENA-Montana county treas
urers are making an excellent rec
ord this year in the collection OF
personal property taxes, Sam D
Goza, chairman of the state board
of equalization, said today.
GOA said most county treasur-
ers are not only collecting current
taxes, but are making collections
of delinquent taxes for prior years.
Personal taxes are required by law
to be computed on the prior years
levy, he said, and must be collected
by the county treasurer, by seiz-
ure and sale of the property if
necessary, within 80 days of the
time of assessment Failure to COL
lect or make such seizure and sale
makes the treasurer liable on his
official bond for all such lost taxes,
he said.
Because of ambiguity in construc-
ton of the law, this practice of
collection within 80 days was not
generally followed prior to this year,
with the result that large amounts
of taxes were lost to the counties,
school districts, cities and towns,
and to the state, Goza said.
The total delinquency on June go
1912, was about $3,000,000, a large
part of which can be considered as
bad debts" he said. Some of the
items are more than 80 years OLD
and much of the remainder rep
resentS taxes on property which is
no longer in existence, or amounts
owing by persons who are no long
er residents.
The law places responsibility for
prompt collections squarely on the
shoulders of the county treasurer"
Goza said. when he requests pay
ment he is simply complying with
the law"
Reports to the board indicate
that personal property taxpayers
recognize the fact and are extend
ing real and practical cooperation
by making payment upon receipt of
notice. Officials and taxpayers alike
deserve credit for the showing be-
ing made this year." Goza said.

Injunction Bars Road Vote
But Plans Are Going Ahead

An injunction was granted by the
state supreme court in Helena Wed
nesday preventing a special elec-
ton June 8 on proposed highway
debentureS.
The situation remains the same
insofar as the need for highway
construction and postwar employ
ment is concerned" a spokesman
for proponents of the election COM
mented in Helena today.
He pointed out that his group in
lated the test suit in the supreme
court to determine the legality of
the election.
1--WE are happy that this point has
been settled now, instead of later,
after the expense of an election" +"
he said I'VE felt that any doubt
as to the legality of the debentures
should be cleared up in advance.
The decision as to the future course
in solving our highway program now
rests with those responsible for such
work"
The court. examining the lang
uage of a 1943 legislative act au-
thoriZing the referendum, held it
was powerleSs to read into the
measure something the words did
not say The act purported to in
crease the now-effective 5-cents-
a-gallon gasoline tax to 6 cents
per gallon, while counsel for Bur-
gan & Walker had contended the
act was worded so that the state
tax might actually jump to IL
cents per gallon:
q. 1t seems apparent that
poorly worded, contradictory and
equivocal as the chapter is in num-
erouS respects, there can be no
doubt that if the act is approved
by the people the new tax will be
in addition to the old and not in re-
peal and substitution of it. This Is
practically the only respect in
which the act is not ambiguous.
while it is possible for us to
guess that by this chapter the legis-
lature did not intend to raise the
present 5 cents per gallon gasoline |
tax to IL cents for the next two |
fiscal years and 10 cents thereafter. |
we can find absolutely nothing in
the act upon which to base such |
conclusion, and must therefore as
sumo that the chapter intends just
what is says, namely, to authorize |
and new Indebtedness and to impose
new taxes for the purpose of pro-
viding funds for the payment of the
and the maturing principal
