Discusses Problems
Focing Legislature
By Charles ID. Rowe

Helena, Feb. 24.-Saturday was
the last day in which bills could
be transmitted from the House to
the Senate and from the Senate to
the House, and therefore the pic
ture is now rather well drawn as
to what sort Of legislation will come
from this session of the Montana
legislature. OF -coHrse51 final action
is still to be taken on a large num-
Der Of bills but no new legislation
can be introduced except perhaps
a few measures having solely to do
with the raising of revenue. Thus
it is that the general outline OF
possible new laws can be fOreseen
at this time, with IL legislative days
remaining in this. session.
The bill that consumed the most
time in the House was the one that
proposes a reorganization of Mon
tana's elementary and secondary
school systems. Hours were spent
on this bill in committee. Terrific
opposition developed to this meas
ure as originally drawn. A large
of rural districts were
violently opposed to it. In an at
tempt to save this badly needed
legislation from almost certain de-
feat, we of the education committee
put in hours of time listening to
objections, arguing them pro and
con, and finally agreeing on amend
ments that it was hoped would re-
move the major objections. This
was finally done by adopting two
or three amendments to the ORR
ginal bill that make it impossible
to close or consolidate any rural
school without the consent of the
patrons of that school, and also
to throw little more state tlnan-
cial aid to some rural schools TN
der certain conditions. When tins
was done the objections to the bill
grew considerably less and when 1t
came up for final roll call vote in
he House, it was passed by a mar
row margin. 1t is now in the Sen
ate and the word that comes to
is in the House is that the Senate

not. believe the proposed law is
. good one. that il is badly needed,
md that if it should finally be en-
acted. it would eventually work out
o the great avantage of our school
children. And furthermore, what
he bill proposes will surely come

t is the trend of the times AL
-eady 1900 rural schools in Mon
ana have been consolidated or

past few years hope the Senate's
IKE hasn't fallen on this measure
~ the time you read this.
This being my first session in a
Iaw-making body, got quite
brill when the education committee

called for an open, public hearing
on the education bill one evening,
in the House chamber. The cham
Der was filled to capacity with those
in favor of and opposed to the bill.
/ should Judge from four to five
hundred people were present. A
number came from long distances,
several hundreds of miles apart.
Each side was given an equal length
of time to argue for or against the
bill. And the arguments pulled no
punches. AS I sat in my seat and
gazed over the large audience, the
thought came to me that surely
here was an instance of our priced
democracy at work: the people APP
nearing before their laW-making
body and arguing for and against
certain legislation; a putting into
actual use of that right assured to
us by our constitution-the right
to petition our government for re-
dress of grievances and for or a
gainst laws under which the people
must live. / was deeply interested
in seeing that right being exercised.
While I have enjoyed seeing the
legislative wheels go round, there
are some things l haven't liked.
Early in the session, a bill came
up to give injured workmen a some
what more liberal weekly pay dur
ing the time of their enforced idle
ness. / voted for that bill as l
it only justice to do So
However, the committee reported to
the House that the bill do not pass"
and the measure was killed despite
the efforts Of some to secure its
This bill was also argued in com
mittee and there was large num-
Der present at a hearing. An attor-
ney for the A. c. M. Co. argued a.
gainst it as did the president of the
Montana Mining association. Several
labor men and others argued for
it. The chief objection was based
on the belief that if larger benefits
were paid injured Workmen, it
would place an almost unbearable
charge on the smaller employers

miners of the small category are
paying about IA per cent
of payroll in industrial accident and
other social taxes and that to in
crease that tax would be more than
many of them could bear. There
fore. there would be less employ
ment for the workers Some of US
felt the argument not well taken.
If those employers, all of them,
would make a real effort to reduce
accidents, their tax rate therefore
would eventually be reduced. And
workmen would be saved from in
juries and even death in some in
stances. However, the bill was
killed That was one thing I didn't
like.
Another incident that aroused me
was the refusal of the House to
enact a mild bill that would have

lature to register, tell by whom they

Considerable disappointment IS
expressed regarding the mailing
and passenger schedules which
went into effect Sunday, February
%, in Libby. Maybe the greatest
dissatisfaction is over the manner
of handling second class mail and
parcel post. Under the new sched-
ule only one regular daily shipment
of such mail will be made west,
which goes out on No. o. the sacks

east is far worse. No regular pick

Probably the biggest problem
facing this legislature is one of rev.
enue. There have been heavy de-
mands for increased expenditures
from everyone. The problem has
been to comply with some of those
demands and still be able to raise
the revenue without increasing
taxes to a still more burdenSome
degree. And that has been a prob
lem. It is human nature to ask
for more favors, more services by
the State, but to object to being
taxed to pay for those services. It's
all right to tax the other fellow
but please don't tax me. Some I'M
popular bills have been passed by
the House in order to raise some
of the additional money. If the
people constantly require more ser
vices from their government, some
one has got to pay the bill. That's
foregone conclusion.
Numerous plans for raising more
funds have been considered. But
no one really expected a sales tax
to pass although such a measure
was introduced 1t was killed by
adverse committee report. It is
said other states that have tried
a sales tax now favor it. However,
it is a doubtful means of raising
revenue and the opposition to it
was tremendous. There was no
chance to get such a measure
through this legislature A slot
machine bill passed the House, It's
ultimate fate now rests with the
Senate. I was told by a prominent
Senate member that he would not
be surprised if that measure was
referred to the people. If it be-
comes law, it will place these "one-
armed bandits" in practically every
saloon, every pool hall, every road
house in the state, in fact every
place not frequented by minors. Its
proponents estimate it will bring
81 100000 into State Golfers an
nually. Others dispute those fig
ures. Some of us condemn such
legislation on the grounds that it
bases taxation on the weaknesses of
the people, that it is unjust and I'M
fair and eventually makes necessary
greater relief expenditures, etc.
TIL man that sits next to me on
the floor of the House said he knew
of young man in his home town
who practically bankrupted his
father by playing the slot machines.

of expenditures caused by the lob
bying. The bill did not forbid lob
bying in the slightest degree. 1t
merely would have required the
lobbyists to stand up and be counted.
The House voted it down on the
spacious argument that it was silly
legislation, that it would cause need
less annoyance, that many Lobbyists
worked for good legislation and
were needed, etc, etc. The bill
would not have prevented any
legitin hate lobbying. I could see no
good/reason for killing it. The
Senate has passed a similar bill
which will probably come before
the House this week. I await the
outcome with interest
